“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

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. Besides Gilbert and

Gilbert’s voice stayed calm. But there was something in his tone, a quiet authority that settled over the room.“Huh?”The quiet staff member blinked in surprise. Even the rude staff member and the woman in the Chanel dress stared, caught off guard.Azalea stepped closer, tugging gently on Gilbert’s arm. Her heart skipped.“Is he serious? Is he really going to buy the whole store, just because someone insulted me?”That’s when it clicked. So that’s what he meant earlier when he said to hang up the clothes. Gilbert wasn’t picking random items. He was planning to buy everything. The thought seemed wild, outrageous, and even.The soft-spoken staff member swallowed nervously.“S-Sir, what do you mean?”Gilbert didn’t blink.“I said, I want everything. Except those clearance items.”His finger pointed to the racks, and his meaning was clear. He wanted to buy the entire store.A hush fell over the room. “Pfft.”The rude staff member sneered.“Buy everything? What is this, a movie?”She hel

None of them saw this coming. Even Mae stood frozen, unable to believe her eyes.That pile of luxury goods, it’s gotta be worth seven figures, right? Mae’s heart pounded. Where on earth did Gilbert get this kind of money?Azalea once told her Gilbert had around a million dollars. But after buying those two cars, Mae figured he’d have maybe thirty thousand left. And yet, here he was shocking her again.She took a hesitant step forward. “Why, why are there so many clothes?”The saleslady beside her smiled. “Oh, ma’am. Mr. Huxley just bought our entire store.”Mae blinked, stunned, before letting out a sharp laugh. She sneered at Triss.“Didn’t I tell you before? If Gilbert wanted, he could buy an entire factory. Believe me now?”Triss flushed, completely at a loss for words. Even her flashy gold bracelet somehow looked cheap.Mae smirked. Watching Triss fumble over n
