“I don’t have it. I returned it.” Azalea shook her head and spoke.
“Hmph! Why did you return it?” Mae paused for a moment before asking again, “Was there money on the card?” She was clearly very concerned about the answer.
Azalea said as she lifted her head, “There was.”
“There was a million dollars.”
Just as Azalea finished speaking, Mae burst into laughter and said, “Are you telling me that beggar has money? Not bad, he saved a hundred dollars!”
“Mom, I said a million dollars, not a hundred!” Azalea shook her head as she repeated.
“What?” Mae’s laughter abruptly stopped, and she gave Azalea an incredulous look.
“A million? Did you say he has a million dollars?”

Christian had told no one about this private matter. Every time he received treatment for his syphilis, he did it in another city far from the city. He had too many acquaintances here, and he found it embarrassing to tell other people about his illness. When he consulted Scott, he had put his last hope in alternative medicine.The Kane family was in the herbal medicine business, and they knew many renowned alternative medicine doctors. Even when consulting Mr. Kane, Christian did not reveal his true condition. He did not expect Gilbert to deduce his condition even before saying anything. That made Christian feel extremely touched and excited. Could there be a cure for him?“Mr. Huxley, you must help me!”At that moment, Christian revered Gilbert. The way Gilbert appeared to be young before did not completely convince him. Now, he no longer dared to have any contempt.“Mr. Huxley, you know that I have relationships with a lot of women.” Should this illness remain untreated, I will take

Several black-suited bodyguards looked at Christian and asked him, “Mr. Gerald Luiz, are you really letting him go just like that? No one has dared to be so arrogant with you.”Christian’s expression was incredibly stern. He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. After that, he took out his phone and called Scott.Christian immediately greeted Scott once the call connected. “Hello, Mr. Kane. It’s me, Christian.”How was the conversation with Mr. Huxley? I’ll finish things here and be there immediately. In which room should we meet at the Dragon Breath Hotel? Scott’s voice came through on the other end of the call. He seemed busy with something.Mr. Kane, didn’t you say that Gilbert Huxley is a capable doctor? Why did he say he couldn’t cure my illness? Christian grated his teeth as he complained.“Haha...” Scott laughed. Whether Mr. Huxley can cure your illness is unknown, but if he can’t, no one can. Scott sounded very confident.Christian couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could

When Gilbert heard Mae’s question, he looked at Azalea. Azalea was a little embarrassed and could only lower her head. After all, she was the one who told Mae about this matter, which made her seem like she had loose lips.“I’m asking you a question. Why are you looking at Azalea?” Mae frowned slightly and continued in an unpleasant tone, “Do you have a million dollars or not?” Gilbert nodded slightly. “Yes.” Gilbert’s response surprised Mae. She didn’t expect him to admit it.“Where is it? Show me.” Mae still seemed doubtful. Could Gilbert, a disabled person, really have a million dollars? She thought, “He shouldn’t be able to earn a million dollars even if he worked himself to death!”“Mom, I’ve already seen Gilbert’s bank transaction text message,” Azalea scowled, gently reprimanding. “Why don’t you believe him yet?” Besides, Gilbert’s money is his private matter, so there’s no need to show it to us, right?”Mae replied, “Hmph! Keep quiet—this is not the time to take part!” She g

Gilbert, a disabled man, was poor and lacked the funds to take the bus. It was a surprise for Azalea to hear him say that he wanted to buy a new car.“Maybe... I suppose?”Azalea was also unsure.If Gilbert had a million dollars in his account, buying a car wouldn’t be difficult for him.“A new car... Who’s going to pay for it?” Mae was surprised for a moment before asking again, “I hope he’s not asking you to pay for the car he plans to buy, right?”Azalea furrowed her brow slightly when she heard Mae’s doubts. However, she replied softly, “He will probably pay for it himself.”At the moment, he didn’t have the money to buy a new car.Over the past two years, he has used the rest of his income to take Gilbert to the doctor, besides spending it on essential needs.Azalea had no money to her name.“That’s nonsense! If he could afford a car, pigs would fly!”Mae still didn’t believe in Gilbert.“Mom, have you forgotten what you promised me before?” Azalea furrowed her brow slightly and

Harry would have loved to know more about the high-end luxury cars from Bentley, but he could only search for photos and specifications on the internet. So, ultimately, he wouldn’t be able to experience it firsthand. But could a disabled person afford a Bentley?Harry thought it must be a joke.Mae and Azalea were also stunned when they heard the car model. Was Gilbert joking with everyone? He said it so casually that it almost seemed like Bentleys were common cars seen everywhere on the streets. Even a casual glance at the city would reveal a scarcity of luxury cars, such as the Bentley. However, Diana just scoffed. Looking at her classmate, she mocked, “Haha! Azalea, it seems like your fiancé is not only disabled but also a fool. Is his illness acting up again?” Azalea frowned. She replied softly, “Gilbert is not a fool.”Diana smirked and asked, “Then why does he like to talk nonsense?” Harry chimed in with an equally unpleasant smile, “Darling, after all, it’s not illegal to boast

“Bring your manager here! Is this the treatment I get for paying in full?” When he heard that, Harry yelled furiously.“Let me guess. You’ve never bought a car before, have you?” Gilbert suddenly spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.“What do you mean by that?” Harry’s face reddened as he became even more angry.Gilbert had a bitter smile on his face. Paying in installments would end up costing him a bit more money, but it would be worth it if it meant upsetting Harry.Both Harry and Diana were incredibly furious. Did an outsider snatch the car they were interested in? They couldn’t bear that at all.“Sally, what’s going on?”At that moment, a middle-aged man came out of the store.That’s right, Mr. Zayne. These two customers are interested in the same car. One of them wants to pay in full, while this man here paid in installments. That’s how the dispute started.The saleswoman hurried to inform the middle-aged man of everything. The middle-aged man frowned. Natura

“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.

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.

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.

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.
