While healing the sick and saving lives was second nature to him, leading was a whole different ball game."Actually, you don't need to do much. Just lend a hand occasionally. If you're really unwilling, just hold the title for now. Once I find someone suitable, I'll replace you," Emily said, seeing Gabriel's hesitation. She put on a pitiful expression, "If you don't step in, I'll be forced to watch as Vance runs Patel Pharma into the ground!"With the conversation reaching this point, Gabriel couldn't refuse. He nodded, "Alright, I'll give it a whirl.""I knew you'd help me!" Emily's face lit up like a thousand-watt bulb. "Come on, let's head back to my place and discuss the work details!"With a swift tug, she whisked Gabriel off to the car.......At the stroke of ten, within the opulent halls of Celestial Estates.Lily, along with Jessica and Alice, was entertaining two guests.One was a suave young man in sharp attire, the other a venerab

She had quite a scare today, but it was a close call, and she returned safely.Claire grumbled, "It's all because of that walking disaster, Gabriel! If it weren't for his bad luck rubbing off on you, how would you have gotten caught?""Exactly! That useless scoundrel is always up to his usual shady antics!"Mia chimed in, "Sis, you really need to steer clear of him, or you'll get dragged into his mess sooner or later!"Evelyn explained, "Actually, this has nothing to do with him. Someone set him up on purpose.""How can it be unrelated? If he were innocent, why would he get caught?""Exactly! Out of so many people, why target him? It just shows his character is questionable!"The mother-daughter duo volleyed their disdain back and forth.Evelyn listened, a sense of helplessness washing over her.Claire shifted the conversation, praising someone else, "I tell you, Tyler is one in a million. As soon as he heard you were in trouble, he was o

Upon discovering Gabriel's true identity, Harold was frozen in terror. He looked like a ghost, his eyes empty and lifeless. He knew he was completely doomed, with no one daring enough to save him."You get it now, right? I'll have you know, he used to be the Golden Dragon Man, and now he's the Golden Dragon Lord!""Golden Dragon Lord!" Harold shivered with fear, almost fainting.Wilbur commanded, "Get him out of here!"A few bodyguards stepped forward and hauled Harold into the car.Even with the truth laid bare, Harold knew he would spend the rest of his life in the Dark Prison. The only way out was to be carried out for cremation after death."Hold it! What do you think you're doing? Leave him here!"At that moment, a dashing young man stormed out, flanked by two female bodyguards, exuding an intimidating aura.At first, he wanted to stay out of it. But Harold was utterly useless, unable to fight back and about to be taken away. The young ma

After dispatching a throng of adversaries, Gabriel strode to the villa's entrance, exhaling a furious shout, "Harold! Come out and face your doom!"His voice boomed like a thunderclap, reverberating across the estate.Harold had just stepped out when the booming call hit him, igniting his fury instantly."Who's the fool bold enough to stir up trouble at my doorstep?!" Harold stormed out, but when he saw Gabriel standing not far away, his eyes narrowed in shock. "So, it's you.""Weren't you locked up? How on earth did you get out?" He'd slipped Andrew some gold bars to ensure Gabriel was locked away. Normally, even with Emily's protection, Gabriel shouldn't have been able to get out so quickly.Gabriel's voice was icy as he demanded, "Was it you who set me up?""Since you're standing here, you must have figured it out."Harold's lips curled into a smirk. "You're right, it was me! You only have yourself to blame for not knowing your place. I already

"What a blockhead!" The thought of Lucas being with Emily filled her with a pang of jealousy."Emily, wait, let me explain..." Lucas rushed after her, catching up with Emily at the door. "It was an emergency, I was only trying to protect her, nothing else.""Really?" Emily asked with a skeptical look.Lucas looked dead serious. "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you about something like this?"Emily's face broke into a smile. "Alright, since you bothered to chase after me, I guess I'll forgive you!"Her sudden change of heart left Lucas stunned, making him wonder if Emily had been acting all along."Evelyn, oh Evelyn, looks like I won this round!" Emily thought, glancing back at the striking figure inside the police station. From Lucas's actions, it was clear he favored her.Emily giggled with delight, "Come on, I'll take you home."Lucas shook his head. "No, I still have to meet someone.""Meeting someone? Who?""Harold!" Lucas re

No one expected this twist. As soon as Deputy Mayor Li stormed in, instead of defending Mr. Jones, he launched into a tirade against him. What was happening?!Emily was shell-shocked, and Evelyn was equally taken aback.The Sting Lizard and his crew were utterly flabbergasted, their faces painted with disbelief."Dad, why are you hitting me? What did I do?" Mr. Jones clutched his burning cheek, struggling to comprehend. He had never seen his father-in-law this furious, leaving him utterly bewildered."You scoundrel! You can't tell right from wrong, slandering good people with your lies. Today, I won't let you off!" Deputy Mayor Li's voice boomed with righteous indignation.Mr. Jones was on the verge of tears. "Dad! What's gotten into you today? I'm your son-in-law!"Isn't a father-in-law supposed to be a knight in shining armor? How did he become the villain?"Don't call me Dad! I don't have a son-in-law like you!" Deputy Mayor Li snorted coldly. "
