Hank jolted in surprise and quickly placed the health supplement back on the table.Dominic's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and his expression wilted.A rare smile appeared on Alexander's face as he looked up at Gabriel and said, "Gabriel is the most sincere and cares about me the most."The Brown family froze, exchanging uneasy glances."This is the best gift I've received today," Alexander declared. Unbothered by the Brown family's displeasure, he glanced at the other gifts and continued, "I've heard about a new tea essence that's effective in preventing coronary heart disease. I have coronary heart disease and have always wanted to buy it, but I couldn't. They said it was too expensive. I never thought Gabriel would bring it to me today."The living room fell into an awkward silence.The other Brown members looked embarrassed, while Dominic and Hank hung their heads, avoiding eye contact."Alright, everyone's here. Let's eat," Alexander interjec

"Ha! Is it that you're not interested, or that you're not capable?" Griffin smirked, his tone laced with mockery. "Tell you what, for Evelyn's sake, I'll give you a little perk. You put in 100 thousand, and I'll give you a million worth of stock. How does that sound?"Gabriel remained calm as he replied, "No thanks. I'm not interested in a company that's about to go bankrupt."Griffin stiffened, his grin faltering. "What did you just say?"His smile froze as he tried to process Gabriel's words, not sure if he'd heard correctly."I said," Gabriel repeated evenly, "I'm not interested in a company that's about to go bankrupt.""Bankrupt?"The entire room went silent, and everyone stared at Gabriel in disbelief."You're talking nonsense!" Griffin snapped, jumping to his feet. His denial was immediate and forceful. "Davis Pharmaceuticals is thriving! We're at the peak of our success, raking in profits! How could we go bankrupt? Stop spreading baseless r

Alexander stroked his chin, clearly delighted. "Evelyn, I never thought you'd manage to become a partner with the Patel family. You've really solidified your position in Calonia now!"Evelyn's gaze shifted to Griffin. "Actually, I owe it all to Mr. Davis. If it weren't for his connections, I wouldn't have had a chance at the Patel family partnership."Dominic, eager to flatter Griffin, quickly chimed in. "Alexander, that's not all. Evelyn almost ran into trouble today. Wallace tried to harass her, but Mr. Davis called in a favor with Mr. Robinson, and she got away unharmed!""Is that so? Well, many thanks to you, Griffin!" Alexander said, raising his glass in a toast."It was nothing, just a small favor," Griffin replied smoothly, raising his glass in return."The fact that Mr. Davis can call on Mr. Robinson shows just how vast his network is. Yet some people are so ungrateful, they go around spreading nonsense about the Davis family going bankrupt. How absu

"Yes, Wallace was one of Mr. Mitchell's top henchmen. Now that he's died, Mr. Mitchell will definitely investigate. If Gabriel really did it, we're in trouble!" Evelyn's face was grim, her eyes filled with fear.Juliana asked hesitantly, "Even if it's true, it's Gabriel's fault. It shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"Evelyn shook her head. "That depends on how Mr. Mitchell sees it. If he thinks Gabriel is connected to us, we'll be implicated and face retaliation!""What?" Juliana cried out, even more panicked.She could barely maintain her composure in front of Wallace, but if she had to face Vance, she probably wouldn't be able to stand."Ms. Brown, should we ask Mr. Davis for help? Maybe he can ask Mr. Robinson to intervene and mediate." Juliana quickly recovered and thought of a plan.Evelyn shook her head slightly. "I owe Griffin too many favors. I didn't want to bother him again."Juliana's face crumpled. "Then what do we do? If Mr.

"What are you planning to do?""I'm going to take Vance down a peg. Teach him a lesson!" Emily replied firmly.Emily's voice softened as she continued, "The thing is, my people aren't a match for this mystery man. I need your help, Mr. Martin.""Lure him out, give me an opening, and I'll take care of him!" Gabriel agreed without hesitation."Thank you, Mr. Martin!" Emily said with a sweet smile."It's my new company's grand opening today. I've invited Vance, and Murphy will probably tag along. You can seize the opportunity then."Gabriel nodded. "Alright.""Mr. Martin, it's almost time. Let's go."After finishing their coffee, they drove to Crystal Plaza.The entrance to the plaza was already bustling with activity.As Gabriel and Emily stepped out of the car, they spotted Evelyn and her family arriving in a large group.Since Evelyn had a stake in the new company, it was natural for the Brown family to attend and show their sup

Evelyn explained to Claire earnestly."Third place isn't bad. Getting on the Patel family gravy train means smooth sailing for us in the business world. We'll be on top of the world!" Claire beamed, clearly satisfied."Evelyn! Your business is booming. You must be rolling in dough! When are you getting me a new car?" Mia chimed in with a fawning smile."I give you plenty of allowance every month. Isn't that enough?"Evelyn shot her sister an annoyed look.She didn't appreciate freeloaders, even if they were family."It used to be," Mia said with a dramatic sigh. "But I invested all my cash with Dominic in Davis Pharmaceuticals. Now I'm broke.""Then you'll just have to wait for the Davis Pharmaceuticals dividends," Evelyn replied curtly, clearly not wanting to discuss money with her sister.As she turned away, her gaze suddenly landed on Gabriel in the crowd, and her expression froze."Evelyn, why did you invite Gabriel? What a downer!" M

Tyler stared at Evelyn, flexing his bicep and flashing a confident smile.Evelyn didn't know what to say as she watched Tyler and Griffin's antics."So, according to Evelyn, Ms. Patel is already taken. We shouldn't be getting any ideas," Griffin said, seizing the opportunity to speak up."So, I don't have a chance?" Tyler asked, feigning disappointment."Which lucky bastard managed to win Ms. Patel's favor?""I don't know, but we'll find out soon," Griffin replied with a sly smile."Hmph! I'll see if that guy is even as handsome as me!" Tyler huffed, pretending to be indignant.Just then, the onstage performance ended, and the host appeared.The room quickly quieted down."Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, today's founding ceremony officially begins now!""Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Mr. Patel to the stage to address us!"Before the host even finished speaking, the room erupted in applause.

She took a deep breath, pretending nothing was wrong, and walked onto the stage one deliberate step at a time."Wow! Another gorgeous woman!""Yeah, we're in for a treat today!""Two equally stunning women, but with completely different styles. If I could have them both, I'd gladly trade ten years of my life!""Damn! I wonder what kind of man deserves women like them?"The moment Evelyn stepped onto the stage, the room erupted with excitement.Emily was already dazzling enough, but Evelyn's arrival was the finishing touch, instantly elevating the atmosphere to its peak.Two breathtaking women standing on the same stage, two best friends joining forces—what a rare and captivating sight!"Evelyn, it's quite something to see you here." Emily stepped forward, extending her hand with a smile that was both warm and enigmatic."I never would have guessed you were the chairperson of Patel Group." Evelyn took Emily's hand, her expression a m

Emily smiled faintly and looped her arm through Gabriel's, glancing at Evelyn with a look that seemed to flaunt him as if to assert her ownership.Evelyn's heart tightened, but she forced herself to stay composed. Her expression remained calm, and her gaze didn't falter as she stared directly at them.She even lifted her chin slightly as if to say, "The man you're so proud of is nothing but the trash I threw away."An unspoken battle of wills ignited between the two women, their gazes locking like sparks in the air.At that moment, Gabriel finally sensed that something was off.'When did they start feuding? Aren't they supposed to be partners? Why are they acting like rivals?'After a few tense seconds, both women looked away, neither willing to back down."Ms. Brown, I look forward to a pleasant and successful collaboration," Emily said, extending her hand to Evelyn once more."Likewise," Evelyn replied with a polite smile, shaking her hand f

Emily was briefly stunned but quickly spoke up for Gabriel. "Mr. Cole, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I've seen Mr. Martin's medical skills with my own eyes. They're just as remarkable as any expert doctor's!""Is that so? Alright, then. Let him take my pulse and prove it," Edward said, raising an eyebrow. He rolled up his sleeve and placed his wrist on the table, clearly intending to test him.Gabriel remained calm. "There's no need to take your pulse. I already know what's wrong with you.""Seriously?" Edward's expression shifted slightly, his brows furrowing in surprise. "Don't be ridiculous. Do you think you can diagnose me just by looking? Even the best doctors in Calonia can't do that."Gabriel's voice was confident. "I can't speak for others, but I can.""Oh really? Then tell me—what exactly have you figured out?" Edward let out a mocking laugh and asked in a sarcastic voice.Without hesitation, Gabriel explained, "Your blood circ
