The Influential Son-in-Law Chapter 23
There was no need to say it again. It didn’t matter.It would be enough for him to make up for what he owed Azalea from now on.He didn’t have to think about others.“Then I have to trouble you,” Azalea said, slowly turning her gaze to Gilbert.Gilbert responded, and he walked out in front of her.“Silly girl, I have bothered you for two years.” He sighed in her mind. It is useless for me to do this for you."“Azalea, are you a fool?” Mae was helpless.“Help him get into the car if he sends you. How could this be better than riding your scooter?” Mae looked at Azalea and said in an angry voice.“He wants to do something for me,” Azalea told her mother. “It would hurt him if I rejected him.”Azalea changed her shoes, then turned around and walked out.“Hum! A cripple. What dignity can a lame person have?” Mae snorted and sat on the couch alone, angry.“Don’t be so mean to Gilbert like that later,” Azalea said. “It doesn’t matter if you did it previously.” But now he has recovered. He

Azalea frowned and glanced at Ashley. "Do I need to disclose what I purchased?"Azalea remained patient but was not easily intimidated."Ashley, don't you fear the discovery of your lies? How can you afford a Ferrari? What are you talking about? If you could afford a Ferrari, I could buy a Lamborghini," Azalea retorted.Ashley scoffed, insinuating, "Where did you steal this car from?"Gilbert interjected, "It's just a Ferrari. Even if Azalea desires the world, I could provide it for her."Ashley mocked, "Stop boasting. She doesn't want the world; she wants you to stand up for her. Why don't you defend her?"Harold intervened, challenging Gilbert, "If you are so capable, why don't you stand up and face me?" Azalea felt embarrassed and frustrated by the situation, while Ashley sneered coldly.Onlookers shook their heads in disappointment, thinking, "Despite driving a Ferrari, Gilbert

Scott's heart skipped a beat as he realized Gilbert's displeasure."What have you done?"Old Mr. Kane frowned and fixed his gaze on Scott, who was utterly confused.He had followed Gilbert's instructions to help the Cadenn family, expecting some recognition from Gilbert. However, Gilbert did not offer any assistance."Um...Umm..."Scott stammered, his mind racing. Suddenly, he recalled the rumors about Azalea's tense relationship with the Cadenn family, which he attributed to Gilbert. This revelation dawned on him: Gilbert's true intention was to help Azalea, not the Cadenn family. Scott felt foolish for not realizing this sooner."Save your explanation. Do as Mr. Huxley instructed," Old Mr. Kane rebuked Scott, emphasizing that Gilbert was the one who truly saved his life.If he couldn't even help Gilbert with such a small matter, he would turn the Kane family into a laughingstock."Yes, Mr. Huxley, I'm sorry. I'll call and decide right now," Scott nodded quickly, then took out his ce

The entire Cadenn family was suddenly surprised."Let me help you," Azalea said to Gilbert. Without looking at the crowd, she unfolded the wheelchair and helped Gilbert sit on it."Was the Ferrari driven by Gilbert?""He's disabled! Can he even drive? Really?"The question is not whether he can drive or not. I just want to know where the car came from. The Cadenn family members were all stunned and engaged in a discussion.Ashley and Harold felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the Ferrari."It's just a rental car. It's not even theirs," Harold said, expressing disbelief that they could afford a Ferrari.Harold snorted coldly and spoke disdainfully, "That's it!"The Cadenn family suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. "Gilbert, after tonight, the Cadenn family will kick you out. What do you think?"Harold slowly approached Gilbert, who remained silent. "Good," Harold said, leaning in closer to Gilbert. "What do you think?" Harold deliberately asked Gilbert, his breath res

“Harold and Ashley are exceptional,” the Kane family in Texas City proudly declared.Unexpectedly, Harold showed his abilities, garnering admiration and jealousy among the Cadenn family. Despite the mixed reactions, everyone praised Harold and Ashley, envisioning them as the family’s heroes and treasures in the eyes of Old Mrs. Cadenn.

Old Mrs. Cadenn expressed her happiness at seeing the Cadenn family’s successors confident in their skills.

Despite being labeled as a silly beauty, I constantly think about the Cadenn family and strive not to bring shame upon them.”Ashley expressed her thought

His words elicited laughter from everyone."Gilbert, will you stop boasting like a fool?" Grandma scolded."Grandma, I have something to confess," Gilbert said.Harold gritted his teeth and recounted, "Gilbert slapped me at the door earlier."With his fingerprints still visible, he reached out to touch his face.Old Mrs. Cadenn frowned at Gilbert, feeling deep dissatisfaction.Gilbert hadn't even married Azalea yet, proving that blood was more powerful than water.If he married her, he would just be a grandson, how could he compare to Harold?"He was jealous of the partnership between the Kane family and me, so he hit me," Harold explained."I didn't retaliate because he's disabled. It's infuriating," he added.Harold fabricated lies, but the Cadenn family believed him without question.They all agreed that Harold faced attacks just to secure cooperation with the Kane family.Ashley clutched her chest in fear and asked, "If we secured bigger clients in the future, would he kill us out

He believed he had nothing left. Yet, the girl who had cared for him for two years showed him a different perspective. She owned something invaluable—Azalea."Get out! Both of you, leave now! Don't return to the Cadenn family!"Old Mrs. Cadenn shouted in a fit of anger, pointing at Azalea. Eanny intervened, calming her grandmother and comforting Azalea."Grandma, please don't be upset," Eanny said as she gently patted the old woman's back.She winked at Harold as he comforted her."Azalea, why are you still here? Do you have to let Grandm

The Cadenn family fell silent in shock.“What... What did you say?”Old Mrs. Cadenn finally spoke, her eyes wide open.“I stated that only Miss Azalea Cadenn could sign the contract with the Cadenn family.”“But Miss Azalea Cadenn isn’t here,” Mrs. Cadenn protested.“Unfortunately, that is the requirement,” Mr. Karl replied firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.As Mr. Karl reiterated the condition, the Cadenn family realized the gravity of the situation.The partnership relied heavily on Azalea and Gilbert, who had recently lost their jobs. Harold and Ashley, who had assured the family of sealing the deal, were now panicking.They had even planned a celebratory dinner with Elder Mrs. Cadenn, banking on the success of the collaboration.But now, Azalea held the key to the agreement.“I’m here to follow instructions. If the Cadenn family decides to proceed, we can discuss it further. Otherwise, I will take my leave,” Mr. Karl stated calmly before leaving.“Please wait,” Old Mrs. Cade

“No, no, no. Sir, I assure you that none of that would happen. The murder suspects are undoubtedly Christian Luiz’s bodyguards.”“Very well, if you say so,” Gilbert nodded and stopped teasing Travis.Travis sighed in relief.“Someone come and take Mr. Huxley home in my car,” Travis turned around and ordered his subordinates.The department escorted Gilbert home in a car, treating him as though he had come for a day trip.Everyone in the room had mixed feelings after Gilbert left, especially the young man who briefly met him the night before.“Wow! That was so damn cool!” The young man exclaimed. He thought he could sense that Gilbert differed from others, but he didn’t expect him to be so extraordinary.It was four in the afternoon. Azalea was at one of the company’s branches. This was one of the rare occasions when Azalea left early because of a low workload.

Travis suddenly had an ominous prediction. He wasn't a fool. He wouldn't have received a promotion to his current position otherwise. A case of this magnitude did not require the involvement of NSIA.David's appearance here could only mean that he was here for someone involved in the case. Many thoughts crossed Travis's mind.Perhaps the reason David came to check the case was that Christian or Yvette knew him.Travis had millions of questions, but it didn't occur to him to think about the connection between Gilbert and David.Travis could never believe that a cripple like Gilbert knew someone as powerful as David.Hamlin was worried about the situation. If David came here because of Yvette, then Gilbert had no chance of survival. The final judgment took place at NSIA. The verdict could decide life or death.Hamlin wanted to help Gilbert, but now he was out of options."There are many people here," David commented as he looked around at everyone entering the room. Besides Gilbert and

“Um, please, be quiet.” A middle-aged officer asked Gilbert Huxley, “Where were you between eleven and midnight last night?”“At the casino,” Gilbert answered honestly.“What were you doing there?” The middle-aged officer followed up immediately, not allowing Gilbert time to think.“I was short on money, so I went to try my luck,” Gilbert replied without missing a beat.The Oleander Casino was closed yesterday. “How did you try your luck there?” the officer scowled.“That’s why I left,” Gilbert replied calmly, just as before.The middle-aged officer frowned and looked at Gilbert for a few seconds. Gilbert’s calm demeanor surprised him.“The victim, Christian Luiz, died while you were at the casino. Therefore, you are the prime suspect. Do you have anything to say about this matter?" The officer frowned and turned on the recording device.“No.” However, Gilbert only whispered one word.“Watch your attitude!”A younger officer suddenly slammed his fist on the table.“Let me tell you thi

“Tell me what’s going on.” Gilbert nodded.“It’s just that Hawk rented out the entire Lakeside Hotel.” Hawk took this action to openly express his emotions to a female acquaintance. Azalea spoke haltingly, observing Gilbert’s expression throughout her explanation.Initially, she hadn’t planned on telling Gilbert so he wouldn’t feel bad. However, she felt the need to give him some explanation about this matter. If she didn’t, he would eventually discover the truth, given his frequent absences from home. If that were to occur, he would undoubtedly experience a significant decline in his emotional well-being.Upon hearing this, Gilbert slowly looked up and asked with a smile, “Do you think maybe Hawk might want to express his feelings for you?”Surprisingly, he didn’t seem frustrated at all.Azalea looked somewhat puzzled. She stared at Gilbert and asked, “You... Aren’t you angry?”Gilbert shook his head. Would a lion worry about a mere ant? Hawk may have been the eldest son of the power

Upon receiving the order, the thirty vehicles’ passenger doors opened, revealing tall, muscular men below. Each of them wieled a five-foot-long steel rod. In particular, a 30-year-old man at the front of the group brandished a metal bat. The hundred burly men exuded a threatening aura.“Are you sure Christian is inside?” The young man stared at the Oleander Casino and lightly tapped the metal bat in his hand.A subordinate reported, “Yes! We heard Christian will be here today to interrogate someone. He’s definitely in there!”“Interrogate? He always preys on the weak. Let’s teach him a lesson today. We are doing Riverfall City a favor by getting rid of this scum. We will rule the criminal underworld of Riverfall City from now on!”The young man swung his bat and flexed his muscles before heading towards the Oleander Casino. The other burly men followed closely behind. As they stepped in unison, they exuded an aura of power and danger.There was an unwritten rule in the underworld neve

Christian was the owner of the Oleander casino. At the moment, only a handful of Christian’s men were present in the casino because of its non-operational status. Christian sat on a high chair with fifty muscular men dressed in black behind him. He spoke to Gilbert, who was about two meters away.“We meet again, Mr. Huxley,” Christian said, laughing as he fiddled with the strap of his gold watch. Despite his situation, Gilbert maintained a serious face.He pondered, “I didn’t make many enemies in Riverfall City.”“I was still worried that my nemesis, Odom, might be after me. Now that I know it’s Christian, I feel safer.”Noticing Gilbert’s silence, Christian asked in a haughty tone, “I told you I would give you a day to think about it, Mr. Huxley. Did you think I was joking? Or do you believe that, simply because you know Mr. Kane, I am incapable of harming you?”Gilbert remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about responding to Christian. “This is your last chance. I will send you ho

When Gilbert flaunted the BMW 5 Series in front of them, they genuinely felt jealous.However, as soon as the difference between Gilbert and those people became more apparent, jealousy turned into respect. Once they admitted they couldn’t bridge the gap, all they could do was flatter Gilbert.“Mom, that’s enough. Let’s go inside,” Azalea said. She was very meek and didn’t want to cause any trouble.Mae was in a positive mood, so she also kept quiet.“Hey, leave work early. Take me shopping with you in our new BMW! That’s right, in a BMW!” As Mae walked towards the house, she called her husband, feeling quite full of herself.Azalea couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.“Don’t worry about her, Gilbert...”“For the past two years, our neighbors have ridiculed and gossiped about us. They even made fun of my mother when they invited her to play cards. However, she now perceives a
