"What reckless waste!" exclaimed the old man, his excitement evident as he carefully picked up the crushed pills one by one. His actions perplexed the onlookers, who wondered why the elderly man was acting so strangely.
Harold, noticing the old man's actions, asked Mr. Kane if this was what he was looking for. However, Mr. Kane was too preoccupied to respond to Harold, instead glaring at the old man in disbelief. "Where did you find this?" the old man inquired, looking up at them. Harold dismissed the elderly man's question and said that a fool had sent the pills. The Cadenn family members agreed, considering the pills worthless. The old man shook his head in disappointment. "If you consider this garbage, then what isn't? This invigorating pill I'm taking is also rubbish, right?" He inquired, highlighting the irony in their disregard for the pills. Mr. Kane's pill, a rare and valuable item, once again stunned the crowd. Kane Medicine had previously auctioned a comparable pill for $40,000. However, the old man present claimed that Gilbert's pill was far more valuable than the one auctioned. This revelation implied that the pill could be worth more than $100,000. The Cadenn family members and other onlookers were shocked when Dylan unintentionally stepped on the pill, ruining it. Dylan quickly defended himself, stating that Mr. Cameron, a distinguished guest at Kane Medicine, had extensive experience in traditional medicine after studying it for two decades. Could he be talking nonsense? "Mr. Kane questioned me before the old man spoke. Dylan was momentarily stunned, but he remained skeptical. "This is absurd. My family is also in the car business," he insisted. "Can I see this pill's medicinal materials and efficacy?" "Hayes Cameron asked Dylan to return, leaving him speechless once more." Who can tell me who ruined such a valuable remedy?" Hayes scanned the crowd, his anger evident in his eyes. The room fell silent, and Dylan blushed, unable to speak. After a moment, Hayes shook his head. " I thought the Cadenn family was noble, but it seems I was mistaken. I came to Texas City to pay a visit, only to find a group of people who don't understand the true value of their assets. "You really disappointed me," Hayes said as he waved his hand slightly and walked out, leaving the broken pills in his hands. Mr. Kane pondered for a moment before asking, "You mentioned that the pill was broken. Is he from your family?" "Yes, it's him," replied Hayes. Old Mrs. Cadenn gazed into the distance, nodding in response. "Okay, then I must leave now. I will visit him another day." Mr. Kane turned and departed. The box fell silent after his exit, leaving everyone to wonder where the fool had obtained such valuable items. Hayes Cameron, a distinguished guest at Kane Medicine, also considered the pill to be a treasure. The noble families of Texas City sensed the tense atmosphere and left one by one. Eventually, only the Cadenn family and Dylan Killian remained in the box. Well, Mr. Cameron must be mistaken. Despite not harming people, the pill may not work in my experience." Dylan coughed lightly and then proceeded to explain. However, the members of the Cadenn family had their own thoughts. Old Mrs. Cadenn frowned for a moment, then gestured dismissively, saying, "Let's move on." Dylan, feeling uneasy, asked about his engagement with Azalea. "I'll need to hear Azalea's thoughts first," replied old Mrs. Cadenn, signaling to wait. Dylan sensed something unusual about the situation and decided to wait until it was clearer. "Alright," Dylan thought to himself, maintaining his composure. The Cadenn family held onto their dignity, but Dylan was determined to win Azalea's heart. Azalea pushed Gilbert's wheelchair along the river's edge, next to the lake. Gilbert, no one would blame you if you didn't send anything. But why did you send things like that?" Azalea slowly stopped and looked at Gilbert, who was staring at the lake with a serious expression. In her eyes, there was a hint of disappointment." The pill I sent was supposed to be something wonderful, but it turned out to be a disappointment," Gilbert said. Azalea shook her head slightly, feeling a sense of resignation. Gilbert had been suffering from dementia and confined to a wheelchair for two years. What benefits could he possibly provide? As Harold had pointed out, if Gilbert had a miraculous cure, why hadn't he used it to heal his own disability first?" My family was already unhappy with you, and now they will be even more dissatisfied," Azalea thought to herself. "I'm sorry, but you can no longer stay with the Cadenn family," Gilbert said softly, his eyes filled with tears. Azalea turned to look at him, seeing the sadness buried deep in his eyes. Gilbert's heart ached at the situation. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet Azalea was suffering consequences because of him. The humiliating incident at her grandmother's birthday party, where he threw them both out in front of everyone, was particularly painful. Despite this, Gilbert declared, "I don't care what the Cadenn family thinks of me. "I only stayed there because of you." He reached out his hand toward Azalea, a gesture of support and solidarity.

“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

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

“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

“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

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

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
