The Influential Son-in-Law Chapter 87
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

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

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

“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

“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

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.

“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!

Texas CityAt the Cadenn family home, a young man sat in a wheelchair, snoring with his eyes closed. His head tilted to the side, and drool ran down the corners of his mouth, giving him a foolish appearance. Suddenly, he jolted awake, clutching the arms of his wheelchair, his back damp with cold sweat."Ah!" he gasped, his mind blank as the last scene of his dream flashed before him."Gilbert, you're the biggest obstacle in my plan," a menacing voice echoed in his mind."I will make you suffer and persist like a dying dog." The man in the dream, filled with malice, grated on Gilbert as if he wanted to devour him whole. "Who am I? I'm...Gilbert Huxley." His eyes lost their gloom, and a cold resolve took its place. Lemar Luke, the general of the Fourth Army in the North, adopted Gilbert, an orphan. Raised in Northland, Gilbert underwent rigorous training in the barracks from a young age and enlisted in the army at 15. Known for his bravery and skill in battle, he achieved numerous fea
