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

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

Dude, don't cross the line.Texas City is huge, with a lot of people you can't handle. Get in," Mr. Levy said, his tone threatening.Gilbert remained calm and smiled in response to Mr. Levy's words."Don't lecture me about Texas City. I've traveled the world, and no one can mess with me," Gilbert replied confidently.Gilbert's response surprised Mr. Levy and made him uneasy.Gilbert then addressed the problem, saying, "Your son bit my son like a wild dog." Don't you feel obligated to resolve this matter?"Mr. Levy coldly snorted and asked, "How do you propose we resolve this matter?"Gilbert suggested a resolution, "I expect $200,000 for medical expenses and a public apology to my son in front of the entire school."The office fell into a tense silence after Gilbert made his demands.They finally understood that Gilbert's actions stemmed from a desire for revenge. Jenny, though young,understood that Gilbert was supporting her. Hope rekindled in his eyes. Mr. Levy burst into laughter

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

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.

“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

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
