It was absolutely impossible. Old Mrs. Cadenn would never believe that Gilbert was close to those big shots. It’s possible that Gilbert improvised it spontaneously to surprise you.“You’re not a fool. How can you take it seriously?” With a little thought, old Mrs. Cadenn replied. It must have been a lie, right? But this is what I saw with my own eyes.. Mae didn’t want to disobey old Mrs. Cadenn, but still couldn’t help but explain. Upon hearing this, old Mrs. Cadenn was astonished again.“What did you see?” Old Mrs. Cadenn frowned and asked.“I saw Mr. Kane of Kane Medicine invite Gilbert to dinner, and my second sister’s son-in-law, Jasper, is a subordinate of Mr. Lewis. Jasper spoke insolently to Gilbert, saying he wanted him to be a watchdog. The next day, they demoted him and made him work as a security guard at the gate.”“Ma’am, this...” Mae stopped then. This type of occurrence could never be considered a coincidence, correct? After hearing this, old Mrs. Cadenn frowned again

Gerald interjected respectfully, “Yes.”Theo nodded, closing the material in his hand. “Then go ahead.”“Take the material.” Theo handed it to Gerald.Gerald nodded and read the pages. “Gerald, I think we’ve been too cautious,” he couldn’t help but ask after reading it.Upon hearing that, Theo shook his head, walking to the window. With his hands behind his back, he looked outside.“Odom is quite high in the management hierarchy now. He’s powerful.”“No one but the general can fight against him.”“Unfortunately, I cannot command his elite army. So, before the general returns, we must be careful. Odom would do everything to obstruct the general from returning. During this period, we must be very cautious,” Theo explained.Gerald nodded in agreement to show that he understood. After all, he knew how powerful Odom was. He couldn’t even rule over all the officials. It wasn’t difficult for him to control the court. Gilbert couldn’t bear to argue with him any longer. Odom could destroy him

Mae opened her eyes for a moment. The card was familiar to her. She’d seen someone display this type of card while watching short videos. Given the high-level status of the card, the owner’s identity was quite extraordinary. Gilbert’s card differed from what she had seen. In the middle, there was obsidian.“Gilbert, what is this?”Azalea had never seen a card like this, so she asked in puzzlement. Gilbert turned the card and said, “It’s the Supreme Black Card. There are fewer than a hundred people who can get the global, limited edition card.”Gilbert delivered the shocking news in a flat tone. “Don’t be boastful.”Mae frowned, asking, “Where did you get this toy card?”“I know all of your possessions.”“There is nothing like this card." Mae did not hide that she had rummaged through Gilbert’s things.Gilbert glanced at Mae and offered no explanation. Mae found the card, but a sticker obscured it. The invaluable treasure was missed. As with many people, their appearances judged them a

The more sarcastic voices Azalea heard, the more resentment she felt towards Gilbert. Azalea believed in Gilbert so much that she thought Gilbert could help her solve the problems. She didn’t know that Gilbert would deceive her once again with a toy card. Gilbert frowned, “Maybe because they don’t have enough authority for this.”“Should we try another state bank instead?” The operator sneered, “Are you kidding me? Even in the city, the bank has 20 branches. And there are countless branches in the Hillwoods province.”“Do you think we don’t have enough authority? Now I wonder what kind of authority you need.” Upon hearing these words, the crowd in the room burst into laughter again. Gilbert’s words were hilarious.“Don’t have enough authority?”“I know what he meant. Based on his appearance, I believe he requires sufficient authority to address his disability.” The others laughed again.“I need to see the person in charge.”“You may not know this, but your representative may know,” G

No one knew what this beautiful card represented. The crowd fell silent as they looked at the serious face of this middle-aged man.Even the operator froze. Jamie Rice, the director of this branch, was a middle-aged man. He also held an influential position at headquarters. He was more than just a branch director, but why was he so surprised?Jamie didn’t have time to worry about others’ attention, so he looked at the card in Gilbert’s hand. While maintaining a poker face, Gilbert assumed this middle-aged person knew about it.“Boom!”Gilbert knew what Jamie was thinking, so he gave him enough time to figure out about this card.“Thank you, sir!”Jamie bowed and reached out with both hands carefully retrieve that card. It was as if he were treating this card like a treasure.Instead of plastic, it felt warm, like a fine diamond in the rough

“Bill... Billions!”“And just the change...”The saleswoman looked and murmured.“Ew! Come on, come on, come on!”“Hundreds of millions; the odd ones are hundreds of millions. Let’s go!”“We can’t stay here. Let’s go!”Instantly, people left, and the room was empty. All the people who had been in a long line exited the room. The saleswoman remained silent, unable to utter a word.The billion was just the change. How could she count that?Even though she couldn’t do that, she wore out her palm. She clenched her hand until she couldn’t finish counting!“Mr. Huxley, I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”Her arrogance vanished instantly, and she bowed deeply before Gilbert. However, Gilbert didn’t even look at her. He didn’t want to talk to

At the honk, Azalea unconsciously tried to lift her head. However, Mae didn’t care at all and kept talking.“I told you, it’s just a toy card.”“You’re so possessed that you’re willing to believe it. Only Mr. Dylan can help you with this.”Mae mentioned Dylan again, but this time with a hand on her waist. “Mom, can you stop?”Azalea looked at Mae, then gritted her teeth and said, “I want to be alone.”“Oh, Azalea, Mrs. Mae, are you all here?” At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. Shortly after, Dylan, dressed in a slim suit, stepped in. He shook his car keys between his hands and smiled faintly. Azalea was filled with doubts upon seeing Dylan. Was Dylan’s car just outside? She even thought it was Gilbert who had just returned, but she didn’t expect it to be Dylan.“Mr. Dylan!”Mae quickly turned and greeted Dylan with a smile. “Yes, I’ve heard that Azalea and her company are in trouble. So I put everything aside and hurried.”Dylan glanced at Azalea and expressed his ser

“Break my leg?”“So, I can sit in a wheelchair like you, right?”“Haha!”Dylan laughed, leaned slightly, and shook in front of Gilbert, imitating his wheelchair posture.“I’m telling you. Even if you have something, it won’t work.““In this society, speak with money and power. And you have none of them.”Remember, Azalea will be and can only be mine. The only option is to leave the Cadenns and become a street beggar.Dylan looked down at Gilbert, laughing coldly.“Maybe when the time comes, I’ll throw you another piece of stale bread, haha.”Gilbert’s eyes froze, and the next second he raised his arms.“What are you doing, loser?”At that moment, Mae came out the door and yelled at Gilbert.“Mrs. Mae, I helped Azalea, so he tried to hit me,” Dylan immediately stepped back and said with a mocking smile.Gilbert slowly turned his head and looked at Mae.Then he turned his gaze to Azalea, who was standing behind Mae. Azalea also looked at Gilbert, but her eyes were filled with disappoint

“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.

“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
