With a calm demeanor, Gabriel maintained a smile as he observed the dynamics at the table. He could sense Natalie's silent gratitude, while Gideon's grumbling did not escape his notice.Natalie's grandmother, satisfied with the agreement, gave Gabriel the go-ahead to proceed with the next steps. Gabriel reached into his briefcase and retrieved the contract he had prepared beforehand. As the grandmother and Natalie signed the document, Gabriel wasted no time in initiating the transfer of funds to Natalie's family company.As the transaction was completed, Gideon, unable to contain his anger, abruptly stood up and stormed out of the restaurant. Natalie's grandmother followed suit, leaving Gabriel and Natalie alone at the table.Taking advantage of the moment, Natalie expressed her gratitude to Gabriel for his support. Gabriel simply nodded, offering words of encouragement. "I believe in you, Natalie," he said, his tone filled with confidence. "You have what it takes to lead the company t
Gabriel's eyes sparkled with conviction as he elaborated on his research. "There's a clear feasibility to that which I want to venture in, Butler Moore. I have done a quick research about it.""Incredible," Butler Moore remarked, taking a sip from his cup before continuing. "But, forgive my bluntness, is there a market for this sort of thing?"Gabriel nodded, his confidence unwavering. "That's a fair question, Butler Moore. Urbanization is a pressing issue, and people are becoming more conscious of the environment. Plus, green spaces in cities have been shown to improve air quality and promote wellness. I believe there's a demand for what we can offer."Butler Moore agreed, considering the lack of such a business initiative in the city. With a thoughtful expression, he made a decision. "I'll use my connections to help you, young master, acquire the necessary resources to set up the core company for your new venture.”Gabriel nodded, grateful for Butler Moore's support. "Your assistanc
Around the Wellington Group headquarters, reporters gathered in clusters, exchanging murmurs of disbelief and speculation."Have you heard the news about Wellington Group? They're gone!" exclaimed the first reporter, his voice tinged with shock.The second reporter chimed in, echoing the sentiment. "It's unbelievable! How could such a massive corporation vanish overnight?"Nodding in agreement, the third reporter added, "It's the talk of the town. Everyone Is scrambling for answers."The first reporter, his skepticism evident, posed a question. "Do you think it's legitimate?""Who knows? But if it is, it's bound to send shockwaves through the entire industry," remarked the second reporter solemnly."We need to dig deeper into this. Let's start reaching out to our sources," suggested the third reporter, determination gleaming in their eyes.Meanwhile, in the bustling streets of the city, conversations buzzed with speculation and uncertainty."Have you heard about Wellington? What's happ
Gabriel observed the officials as they exchanged glances, gauging their reactions carefully. Their contemplative expressions hinted at a serious discussion taking place within their ranks.When one of them finally broke the silence, commending Gabriel for his thorough proposal, a sense of relief washed over him. It was a validation of his hard work and dedication to his new venture.As nods of agreement echoed through the room, Gabriel felt a surge of confidence. He knew that he had won their support, but he also recognized the weight of their decision.Turning to Butler Moore for confirmation, Gabriel received a subtle signal. With resolve in his voice, he addressed the officials once more, cutting through the tension in the room."Are you all willing to support this new venture?" Gabriel's question hung in the air, prompting the officials to exchange meaningful glances as they considered the implications of their decision.With a collective sigh of relief, the officials expressed the
Gabriel's expression darkened, his fists clenched at his sides as he took in the damage. "Fredrick," he muttered under his breath, his voice filled with anger and frustration.Jessie tugged at her father's hand, her eyes wide with concern. "What happened, Daddy?"Gabriel took a deep breath, struggling to contain his emotions. "It's nothing, sweetheart," he said, forcing a smile. "Let's just get home, okay?"But deep down, Gabriel seethed with anger at the thought of Fredrick and his men targeting him once again. This was far from over.Gabriel quickly ushered his daughter, Jessie, to a safe corner, instructing her to stay put as he confronted Fredrick and his thugs. With swift and precise movements, Gabriel swiftly incapacitated the thugs, leaving them groaning on the ground.As the thugs scattered, Fredrick remained standing, his expression defiant as he twirled a baton in his hand. Gabriel's gaze narrowed as he approached Fredrick, his voice dripping with anger."Why did you do this
Fredrick wasted no time In calling Don Makul and asking him to come over. His smirk widened as he taunted Gabriel, his voice dripping with malicious satisfaction. "You're in for a treat tonight, Gabriel. Don Makul will make sure you're roasted properly."Gabriel's jaw clenched as he met Fredrick's gaze, his eyes flashing with determination. "We'll see about that," he growled, his voice steely with resolve. "I'm not afraid of Don Makul or anyone else he brings.”Fredrick shook his head in a pitiful manner. “I'm sure you'll be begging me for your life when he arrives."Gabriel's jaw clenched as he glared at Fredrick, his fists tightening at his sides. "We'll see about that," he replied through gritted teeth, his voice a low growl of defiance.Fredrick laughed mockingly, his confidence growing with each passing moment. "You'll regret crossing me, Gabriel," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.But Gabriel remained unfazed, his gaze steady as he squared his shoulders. "We'll see who
Fredrick gulped in fear, but his bravado resurfaced as he yelled at Don Makul, "Why are you letting this nobody slap you around like kids?"Don Makul glared at Fredrick with a look that could have pierced through him. The tension in the air was palpable.Gabriel sneered and asked Don Makul, "Do you know this man?"Fredrick, emboldened, stepped forward and declared, "He is my man. What gives you the effrontery to slap them?"Gabriel smiled and shook his head slowly. His expression turned icy as he stated with authority, "Because I'm their boss."Fredrick burst into mocking laughter. "You're lying! You're just a fool playing pretend."Don Makul's glare intensified as he snapped, "Silence, Fredrick. Master Gabriel speaks the truth."Fredrick's laughter died in his throat, replaced by a look of utter shock. He stammered, "W-what? No, this can't be true."Gabriel stepped closer to Fredrick, his voice cold and unyielding. "You crossed a line, Fredrick. Consider this your last warning. You d
As the driver drove them home, Gabriel was a bit surprised when Jessie leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "That's your reward for dealing with the bad guy who ruined our car," she said with a beaming smile.Gabriel returned the kiss and apologized, "I'm sorry you had to witness that, sweetheart."Jessie shook her head. "It's alright, Daddy. I enjoyed seeing you dominate." Gabriel chuckled, and she added, "I'm going to be a writer when I grow up, and I'm going to write a book about you titled 'My Superhero is My Daddy.'"Gabriel's heart melted at her words, and he pulled her closer, placing an arm around her shoulders. As he thought of Camella, he asked indirectly, "Promise me you won't tell anyone about what happened today."Jessie nodded, her eyes wide with understanding. "Including Mommy?"Gabriel grinned, patting her face gently. "Including Mommy."After a brief silence, Jessie tugged on his jacket. When he looked at her, he saw a bit of sadness in her eyes. "What are you
