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
There was silence after Hamlin said those words. They had understood that what Gilbert had just said was exactly the illness of Hamlin. But how could he know? Everyone was looking at Gilbert right now. Ironically, all of them took an interest in him at this time, except Scott.But Gilbert didn’t say a word; he was looking at the menu, appearing to be deep in thought about what to eat. Suddenly, there was a snap. It turned out that Hamlin snapped his fingers. “Waiter, I want every dish on that menu right now. Let’s make it a banquet!” “Mr. Huxley, he can eat whatever he wants. Would you like to talk about my illness right now?” Hamlin looked at Gilbert flatteringly and had lost his previous arrogance. After all, only he knew his illness best and was the only one who would endure all the torture and pain that came with it. No one would know how much money and energy Hamlin had spent on his own body. Seeing a glimmer of hope at last, he could no longer keep calm. “It is bad to wast
