"You let me go," Azalea said as she took Gilbert's hand away, unable to contain her scream.

"I don't want this kind of life anymore. I've had enough. Nobody understands me. Everyone mocks me, and we both laugh at me!"

Azalea had suppressed her emotions for two years, but during that period, Everything exploded in a moment.

"Give me some time. All of this will change."

"I can give you anything you want," Gilbert replied, his tone serious.

After a brief silence, Gilbert added, "You better get up first."

Azalea wiped away her tears and ran into the distance, leaving Gilbert to gaze at the lake shore in front of him. "I will stand up, and all of this will change."

Meanwhile, in a business club in Texas City, someone addressed Mr. Cameron, "Please help my father with his illness." Despite our Kane family's medical background, a doctor cannot cure himself.

My father has a rare, untreatable disease. "We can handle that," Scott said, looking at Hayes with a pleading expression. "

Mr. Kane, why are you here?" Hayes asked. "In Texas City, there is a divine doctor.

"Why don't you seek help from him?" Hayes shook his head sadly.

"Is there a divine doctor in Texas City?" Scott asked, surprised.

Yes, I was surprised too. A divine doctor resides in Texas City," Hayes confirmed. Scott was intrigued and asked, "Who is this divine doctor?" Hayes nodded enthusiastically and revealed There was a small wooden box containing a broken pill. "He's the one who sent this pill," he said. "Mr. Cameron, you may not know this, but the Cadenn family made a spectacle of themselves two years ago. According to rumors, the fool has proposed to Azalea Cadenn, the family's daughter."

She belongs to the Cadenn family. Someone sent the pill. How could I be a divine doctor? Scott couldn't believe that a fool in a wheelchair could be a divine doctor.

"Do you know what this pill represents?" he asked.

Even if he's not a divine doctor, he must have a connection to one," Scott thought. Few people in the world can possess those pills.

"That's all I can say. Mr. Lamnont, you can figure it out yourself," Hayes said before leaving.

Scott pondered for a while before making a phone call.

"Get the car ready. I'm going to meet the Cadenn family," he instructed.

Gilbert sat on the shore of Texas Lake for a while before turning his wheelchair and heading home alone, just a few hundred meters from Azalea's house. Azalea felt comfortable leaving Gilbert alone there.

You've been taking care of him for two years already! You've done enough in some way!

As Gilbert returned to the yard door, he heard Mae's voice from inside. "I know," he replied.

Azalea's slightly stubborn voice chimed in. "You know? What do you think you know?"

If you're aware, why don't you just walk away?

Listen, I will never accept a disabled man as my son-in-law, let alone one who is poor to death! Mae, with one hand on her hip, shouted at Azalea.

"I'm not saying I have to marry him. I just want to take care of him."

Even though we're not engaged, he served our country. His disability was a result of fighting for our country.

"Because he is a hero, I feel obligated to take care of him." Azalea's tone was resolute.

"He is now disabled in both legs and unable to care for himself. If you kick him out, you're essentially killing him."

"I absolutely disagree!"

Azalea clenched her teeth and firmly disagreed with Mae's request.

"Well, the decision doesn't rest solely with you! It's a family decision involving all the Cadenn members, including the elderly Mrs. Cadenn."

The Cadenn family has upheld this decision for two years. We don't need you to return anything. However, since he's no longer welcome here, he should leave immediately! It's embarrassing to waste two years of effort on sending so much junk mail. It's better not to send anything at all!"

Mae's voice grew increasingly heated and loud as she continued. 

"I don't want to argue with you. He's still out there, and I'm going to fetch him."

Azalea remained silent for a moment, then headed directly toward the door.

As the door creaked open, Azalea and Gilbert locked eyes. 

You…" Azalea was immediately stunned when she saw Gilbert.

Gilbert observed that Azalea exhaled a breath of relief upon seeing him.

"Fool, how dare you come back?

Don't you know the pill you gave me was poison?" Mae Cadenn pointed at Gilbert's nose and scolded him with her hands on her hips.

"That just shows he doesn't know good value," Gilbert replied calmly, looking at Mae.

Azalea was surprised to hear this. She knew that Kane Medicine in Texas was a reputable company. If Scott said it was poison, it must be true.

Gilbert, how could you do that?"

Azalea's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.

"It's not what you think." Gilbert frowned. "It's a wolf!

In the future, maybe I'll kill myself with drugs. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Mae snorted. She didn't hesitate to twist the truth and say, "Kane Medicine's judgment is absolutely correct."

"Gilbert, you've let me down. Even if grandma did something wrong, you couldn't do it," Azalea said, gritting her teeth.

"Are you kicking me out?"

Gilbert sighed lightly before asking Azalea.

"What you did broke my heart," Azalea replied without looking at Gilbert, her body trembling.

Mae remained silent, looking at Gilbert with pride.

"Finally, he is abandoning his family." I stayed in Texas City because of you. You know that?"

"If I leave, I won't come back."

Gilbert spoke seriously with his gaze fixed on Azalea.

"Go away. Get out of here," Azalea finally said, still not looking at Gilbert, her body trembling.

They had been together for two years, and even though Gilbert was just a fool, Azalea had some feelings for him.

However, Gilbert was determined to poison his grandmother. He couldn't bear the thought of her anymore. Suddenly, the sound of car horns interrupted his thoughts. Two Panameras followed a white Bentley in the lead. The luxury cars pulled up directly to Cadenn's house with a screech. Ten bodyguards, dressed in black, swiftly exited the vehicles. 

"Mr. Huxley, please come with us," one of them said.

    “No, no, no. Sir, I assure you that none of that would happen.

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.

    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.

    “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
