“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. Eager to please them, the Cadenn family embraced the idea of Harold and Ashley taking care of the family’s future. Old Mrs. Cadenn expressed her happiness at seeing the Cadenn family’s successors confident in their skills. Her decision to entrust the family to Harold and Ashley astonished the Cadenn family, but they were also excited about the prospect.“Grandma, it’s nothing! As a member of the Cadenn family, I feel a responsibility to consider the family’s well-being and make positive contributions. 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
As Major General, he commanded millions of troops and horses, wielding overwhelming power. He once effortlessly defeated ten enemy generals. Despite sustaining severe injuries that exposed his bones, he remained stoic and never shed a tear.However, in a rare moment of vulnerability, his eyes welled up with tears, revealing a deep emotional impact.Living in seclusion in a small town, he felt isolated and powerless as his former friends drifted away. 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
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
The audience regarded Gilbert with scepticism as he sat calmly in his wheelchair.“Okay,” Gilbert responded, his expression blank.Observing Gilbert’s demeanor, Mr. Karl coughed and withdrew his hands.“Miss Cadenn, my job is simply to sign agreements. Mr. Kane will determine the company’s direction,” Mr. Karl explained with a polite smile.“Yes, Azalea. Mr. Kane must have recognized the Cadenn family’s potential and wanted to collaborate with us,” he added.“Just sign it,” Mr. Karl urged Azalea, gesturing towards the contract.Azalea hesitated, feeling the pressure from everyone in the room, including old Mrs. Perkins.“Mr. Karl, Azalea is in a lower position within the company.” She may not have the authority to make such a significant decision,” someone remarked.As Azalea prepared to sign, Gilbert interrupted slowly, causing tension among the Cadenn family members.Why did Gilbert always disrupt things? Now that the contract was on the verge of finalization, what was his plan?If
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
Since birth, I have protected my son. No one dared to lay a hand on him. How do I know? Would a cripple's daughter dare to hit him?"I want to make it clear that no one could touch my son," Mr. Levy said coldly as he took a sip from his cup.The boy and his mother also displayed a haughty demeanor.Witnessing the family's authoritarian behavior, the office tutors couldn't help but frown. Their dominant attitude caused resentment among the tutors.Despite their grievances, the tutors had to hold back their complaints against the family due to Mr. Farmer's favoritism towards Mr. Levy."Are you not willing to continue this conversation?" Gilbert asked Mr. Levy in a straightforward manner."Who do you think you are to joke with me?"Mr. Levy sneered as he looked at Gilbert's wheelchair. No one could tolerate Mr. Levy's arrogance and authoritarianism."Fine, then," Gilbert replied with a nod. "There's no need to talk further."After finishing his speech, Gilbert gently pulled Jenny in fron
