“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

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

“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

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

"Can't I transfer more money to the card? Don't worry. We have money. Just buy whatever you want."Gilbert said it so calmly, handing the card to Azalea. But even in that calmness, there was something so confident and a little charming about him.The people standing behind them couldn’t hide their envy. Azalea hesitated for a good ten seconds before finally taking the card.“See? Men really are more attractive when they spend money,” someone whispered.“Yeah, especially when they let you use their card however you want, ” another said, half-joking, half-jealous.Azalea gave Gilbert a quick glance, her heart racing like crazy. That afternoon, the whole high-end floor of the mall seemed to come alive. Or more like, everyone came alive because of Gilbert.People whispered about how he bought luxury stuff like it was nothing, how he paid without blinking.By now, every store manager on that floor had come out of their shop, trying to get his attention.It was like they were lining up, hop
Chapter 96
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

Felix stood up, crushing his cigar in the ashtray. “I want everyone out tonight,” he ordered, his voice sharp. “Take everything that belongs to Christian. By dawn tomorrow, we’ll be the only ones running the city’s underground.” The confidence in his words left the young man standing before him stunned. “Mr. Felix, about this, ” The young man swallowed hard. “Sir, this is huge. If we move like this without a plan, we’ll face serious blowback. Please let’s think this through.” Felix shook his head. “No. I trust him. He made his position clear, and I’m willing to take the risk. That’s how you win by risking everything.” Then Felix added coldly, “And if any of you cross paths with Gilbert in the future, show him r
