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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Wasn’t Grandma engaged to Gilbert?“He... is my fiancé.”Azalea didn’t know what was happening at first, but she finally understood the meaning of old Mrs. Cadenn’s question.“Azalea, do you think it is possible to have a long and stable relationship with Gilbert?”“Are you willing to marry a lame person?”“Even if you will marry him, our family will not agree,” Old Mrs. Cadenn said firmly, pursing her lips.Azalea didn’t know how to answer, so she stayed silent upon hearing the question.“You know what? Mr. Killian has only a fondness for you.” Two years have passed, and he hasn’t shifted his attention to other people.“He has also offered a lot of help in our cooperation with Kane Medicine.”Old Mrs. Cadenn continued, “I think you can try to get

“Well, this car...” Gilbert looked at that car and turned away from it.“What happened, Gilbert?” Azalea turned to see where Gilbert was looking.“It doesn’t matter. It looks like Mr. Kane’s car.”Gilbert waved his hand slightly. He had visited the Kane family twice, so he thought the car looked familiar.“Mr. Kane...”Speaking of Mr. Kane, Azalea remembered what old Mrs. Cadenn told her. When she could meet Mr. Kane, she planned to ask him why he helped the Cadenn family.She could then determine whether Gilbert had lied or whether old Mrs. Cadenn had fallen for a trick. Meanwhile, something happened in a private dining room.“Hello, Mae. You’re there.”A woman, several years older than Mae, offered Mae and the others a warm greeting.

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

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.

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
