Mae became even angry, ready to slap Gilbert if Iris hadn’t intervened. “You’re insane!” Iris restrained Mae with a low growl.“Move aside, Iris and Azalea.I’ll show you who’s leaving this house today.“Only one of us will stay!” Mae cried and screamed on the floor.“No one needs to leave. Mrs. Cadenn will come and ask Azalea to return,” Azalea stated.Gilbert coldly responded, “Nonsense! Mrs. Cadenn never goes back on her word.“Two years ago, she clarified that if you joined the Cadenn family, we would have no claim to the family’s profits. Everyone knows our family’s situation for the past two years.” Mae pointed at Gilbert, shouting, “You’re wrong!”A car horn sounded outside the door, startling Iris, Mae, and Azalea. A feeling of foreboding crept into Mae’s mind as she heard the sound. Moments later, there was a scream outside, and it was Harold.The Azalea family peered outside, and Mae, giving Gilbert a suspicious look, got up from the ground and opened the door. Harold and As

There was always a hint of sadness in his tone."Okay, I understand you want to wait for the general," Azalea said reassuringly."But there's no need to hesitate. Maybe I'll see him when he returns.""You never know. Great people often keep a low profile," Regina replied.Azalea comforted Regina gently, "I know, Azalea.""It's okay. When I return, we can hang out together," Regina assured her.Regina fell silent for a moment before smiling and waving her hand, "No problem. I'm the branch manager now.""When you return, I'll put you to work," Azalea joked proudly."That sounds great. I'll hold you to that," Regina replied, congratulating herself before they ended the call.Azalea set her phone down, reflecting on the events of the past two days. She looked at the door before standing and walking toward it.She softly knocked on Gilbert's door, mustering her courage. "Gilbert, thank you," she said."It's not a big deal. It's all thanks to you," Gilbert said, speaking from inside the roo

Gilbert's rule had always been consistent; he liked to reward others in the same way they treated him. When Gilbert echoed Mrs. Farmer's words, the office fell silent, as if they had just heard her say the same words not long ago. They were surprised that Gilbert would respond so quickly to her own words.Gilbert's actions stunned Mrs. Farmer, the teachers, Mr. Levy, and his family. They had wanted to argue against him, but they found themselves speechless. Initially, they thought Gilbert had asked Iris to take Jenny out to spare her the embarrassment of apologizing to Mr. Levy in front of her daughter.However, they now realized that Gilbert's intention was to prevent Jenny from witnessing him hitting others. Despite Mrs. Farmer's anger at her humiliation in front of everyone, Gilbert remained firm, asserting that he hit her because she deserved it, irrespective of her identity. Mrs. Farmer questioned Gilbert's logic, asking if she should sugarcoat herself just because she was a mino

Gilbert had been in the Cadenn family for two years, and while some members of the family did not treat him coldly, most thought of him as a waste.Iris didn't believe Gilbert could help solve their problems, but his actions that day left her speechless. Despite his violent tendencies, Iris thanked Gilbert and shook his hand. Gilbert, however, downplayed his contribution, stating that the Cadenn family would have resolved the matter regardless. He mentioned that his mother-in-law believed it was normal for children to fight and didn't want to unnecessarily inconvenience the Cadenn family. Iris sighed, feeling a sense of sadness as she held Jenny.Iris, the daughter-in-law of the Cadenn family, found herself unwelcome after birthing a daughter unexpectedly while her husband was away. Despite this, Gilbert, a seemingly unkind person, remained indifferent to the situation. However, Jenny, a young girl who showed kindness by sharing marshmallows with Gilbert, managed to touch his heart. J

However, Gilbert had become a complete mess, and they had heard no news about him for a long time.If Odom wanted to eliminate Gilbert, it would be a relief because it would take little effort.Theo quietly left the military, which could be a clue for Odom to track down some leads.“Theo, you shouldn’t return,” a young man advised, noticing Theo’s hesitation.“No, I must return no matter what. I would feel uneasy leaving it to others. I had no choice but to entrust it to the Cadenn family,” Theo said, feeling extremely guilty.That year, Odom created Gilbert, and Theo tried to send him away.Gilbert had lost his parents and had no one to rely on.Theo recalled that Gilbert had mentioned being engaged to Dave Cadenn’s granddaughter.Theo was helpless in that situation, so he asked some of his soldiers to escort Gilbert to the Cadenn family.After that, he did not know about Gilbert’s life there. There was no one around.“I will leave immediately after a brief conversation with him,”Th
