The Influential Son-in-Law Chapter 38
A prominent figure...Why would he visit a small city like Texas City?"It's a shame we don't even know the name of the big shot."A middle-aged man shook his head and sighed softly.These men achieved their current social status because they had sponsors behind the scenes.Sponsors could be powerful consortia or high-ranking officials. Today, their sponsors informed these men of a high-ranking official's arrival in Texas City, directing them to forge a connection with the individual at any cost.However, the person's identity remained a mystery to them. They had only heard rumors from other sources.But even rumors were worth taking seriously."My source shows that the big shot may come to Texas City to visit relatives."Another middle-aged man with glasses spoke softly. Upon hearing the man's words, the crowd was surprised.They wondered if he was visiting relatives in Texas City, but questioned why such an important figure would have relatives there. It was puzzling. The mention of

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. There was no one around.“I will leave immediately after a brief conversation with him,”Th

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. Mae was the third child in her family. The woman was Pansy

I knew Jasper worked in government, but when did he run a district?Pansy understood the true meaning and laughed immediately.“Oh, Mae, are you serious?”“Jasper has been promoted now. He was a staff, but now he’s a manager.” Pansy covered her mouth and continued laughing.“He handled the market regulation of Jayan district, including businesses such as business positions, taxes of each company, and so on.”Jasper took the glass and drank the red wine gently.Then Mae was petrified. The rich man could not compete with the officers.Even if Azalea was promoted to branch president, Jasper’s position remained unchanged, being much higher than his. It wasn’t too much to say that Jasper was Azalea’s boss.Therefore, Mae intended to use Azalea’s position to gain respect but was completely defeated. Jasper adjus

“Well, I used to depend on a wheelchair, but that wasn’t the reason for not going to work.”“Jasper used to be an office worker in the past. He worked hard and got promoted.”Pansy laughed proudly, seeming to encourage Gilbert, but she made a comparison between them.“Mom, please don’t compare me to Gilbert,” Jasper said lightly.Because each one is different. Jasper’s words sounded good, but every word was full of bad intentions. Obviously, his meaning was that Gilbert had no qualifications to compare himself to.“Haha, I forgot. You’re right.”Pansy laughed and said, “After all, Azalea is my niece.”“I love her. She’s a girl, but she needs to take care of a cripple. It was overwhelming for her.”“Well, Jasper, find a decent job for Gilbert.”Azal

“You could invite Mr. Huxley to have dinner with you," Scott suggested."You were the best guy, huh?" Scott said to Jasper.Jasper's family's attitude towards Gilbert just now had made Scott unhappy, so he said those words sarcastically.Hearing Scott's words, everyone in the room was stunned.Jasper thought to himself, "Mr. Huxley? Huxley who? Who is Mr. Huxley?" Jasper was lost.He was not a businessman, so he had brief contact with the business people in Texas City. He had still heard of Scott, who was said to be quite rich.At least Scott could invite Hamlin to dinner, which showed that he had high status."Well, I don't know what you mean," Jasper asked quietly, a smile on his face.Scott frowned and looked at Jasper. He didn't even want to talk to him."Mr. Huxley, I didn't expect to meet you here. Can I invite you to dinner together?"T

“Mae, Jasper is your nephew. You must help him," Pansy pleaded, holding Mae’s hand tightly.“Well, Pansy, I want to help you, but you’ve gone too far at this point. I was going to ask Gilbert to do a printing job in Jasper’s office,” Mae responded.“But you said something like a guard dog. Isn’t that an insult?” Mae’s words made the Kerry family blush again.“Mae, let’s stop talking about this.” “If Jasper can be promoted successfully, I promise I will ask him to arrange a good job for Gilbert. What do you think?” Pansy asked anxiously, waving her hand.“Yes, I definitely will,” Jasper added, looking at Mae excitedly, his eyes full of praise.Mae was delighted and smiled in her heart. She finally had an amazing day.“Thank you, but there’s no need. I had no right to arrange the job for Gilbert before. Now, I can do it myself.”Before Mae could say anything, Azalea spoke flatly. Everyone was left speechless. As the president of the Cadenn branch, she had the authority to decide.“M

“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. Dylan’s funding enabled the company to easily resolve all its problems in the past few days. With an alternative source for th

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

Mae mocked the neighbors, but they showed no signs of anger. In fact, they even considered flirting with her. 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

Those who had laughed at Gilbert found their smiles frozen on their faces. It looked incredibly ugly.Gilbert’s expression was calm as he reached out and took the keys. “Mrs. Cadenn, this is for grocery shopping,” he said clearly as he handed the car keys to Mae.“UrBk!” Everyone in the scene froze again. Did Gilbert just say he bought the car for Mae to go grocery shopping? Was Mae going to use a BMW 5 Series worth over a hundred thousand dollars for grocery shopping? That was too much of a showoff!Mae knew very well that Gilbert’s words were incredibly serious. Looking at the expressions of astonishment all around her, Mae’s vanity felt incredibly satisfied. How amazing! It really felt like a breath of fresh air. S
