Chapter 972: The Best Son-in-law

    It was precisely because of Sam’s imperfection that his perfect image seemed less fake and revealed a more genuine side of him. On the other hand, Cami had managed to keep Den happy during this period, making him feel much younger. He believed he had never mistreated Cami, yet this woman couldn’t take her eyes off Sam, who was younger and more handsome than himself.


    Men, from the age of three to eighty, are creatures who value their pride. To have his woman yearning for another man while in his arms felt like a p in the face.


    Luckily, Sam was a sensible and polite young man. Otherwise, Den would have had to sorrowfully bid farewell to Cami. At present, he hadn’t grown tired of this woman yet, and he knew he would feel regret once she was gone.


    Thus, he decided to give her a warning, urging her to restrain herself. “His name is Sam, a child of myte friend. My friend tragically passed away four years ago, leaving this child alone, so he came to seek refuge with me.”


    Cami was aware of Den’s background; his ancestors hailed from Ineburgh and were considered a prestigious family there. Later, due to internal conflicts in Che, the Gilliam family decided to immigrate and settled in the Southern Seas, bing overseas Chinese and starting a business here.


    By the time Den’s father took over the family business, the Gilliam family had already be the most famous Chinese entrepreneurs in the area. After Mr. Gilliam’s father passed away, he inherited the family business and then went to study in Metshire for a period of time. Seeing the great potential in Che, Mr. Gilliam, along with some friends from college, decided to venture into business there.


    As for why he chose not to return to his ancestral home in Ineburgh but to stay here and be a prominent figure, Cami was not privy to the reasons. However, Mr. Gilliam had mentioned his influential friend to her, someone who was once a powerful figure in Che.


    Sam, the gentleman in question, was the son of that influential friend, indicating his high status. The thought of this made Cami feel a slight ache in her heart, as if he had appeared toote.


    If Sam hade to visit Den a week earlier, she would have chosen him without hesitation. She also believed that Mr. Hurst could help her seek revenge against Cheyenne and Kelvin.


    Taking a deep breath, Cami concealed her true emotions and smiled at Sam as if nothing was wrong. “Mr. Hurst turns out to be Mr. Gilliam’s friend’s son, what a coincidence. You Che people have a saying – meeting is fate. How about I raise a toast to Mr. Hurst?”


    As she spoke, she gracefully slipped out of Den’s embrace, picked up her ss, and intended to clink sses with Sam. However, Sam remainedposed and elegant, smiling lightly as he declined firmly but politely, “There’s a saying in Che that drinking can lead to trouble. Sam is here to discuss official matters with Mr. Gilliam today, and drinking too much may hinder the conversation.”


    “Let’s save this toast for another time. Sam will make amends to Miss Cahan then, alright?”


    His response was tactful and dignified, avoiding any sense of awkwardness. Den’s fondness for Sam grew once again. In his life, hecked neither wealth nor fame nor women, but his only regrety with his children. The renowned entrepreneur in the Southern Seas, Den, only had two daughters and no son to inherit the family business.


    In his youth, an injury had left his first wife unable to bear more children after giving birth to one daughter. Despite raising many other women afterwards, not one of them bore him a son. One daughter was his adopted daughter, while the other was his biological daughter, the seconddy of the Gilliam family, who had just graduated from university at the age of twenty-two.


    The adopted daughter is like him, decisive and reliable, a worry-free good child.


    But the biological daughter shes with him, which is Den’s headache.


    Yet, with deep love for his biological daughter, he not only has to n for the future of the Gilliam family a century from now, but also for his daughter.


    With no sons, the best solution is to find a son-inw who wille to him! Sam, an old acquaintance;


    With impable looks and capabilities, the only thing left to test is his views on women.


    The reason he kept silent and observed just now was to test Sam’s intentions.


    Even in the presence of a seductive figure like Cami, he remained unmoved, proving the rumors of his self-discipline to be true.


    Only someone like him is worthy to be Den’s son-inw.


    Satisfied, he nodded and finally spoke, “Cami, why don’t you go down first. Sam and I have something to discuss.”


    Mr. Gilliam didn’t let her stay, naturally due tock of trust in her.


    Cami muttered angrily in her heart as she left, casting a lingering nce at Sam before she left, her red lips curling.


    “Well then, Mr. Hurst, please make yourself at home. We’ll chat another time.”


    “Yes, Miss Cahan, take care.”


    What a foolish and unattainable woman!


    Sam thought disdainfully in his heart.


    With no one else in the hall, Den then asked him what had happened, his expression unexpectedly serious.


    After rehearsing in his mind, Sam hesitated before speaking.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    “Mr. Gilliam, didn’t you send me to Yheehull to negotiate a deal? When I arrived, I noticed that ine’s people were also lurking around, so I paid closer attention.”


    “Yes, you told me about thisst month, and I spoke to ine afterward. He said the goods were lost, so I immediately asked for your help to find them, those goods…”


    Instead of answering directly, Sam took out a broken map from his pocket, with a certain location circled in red.


    It was a rainforest area, ine’s hometown.


    Den also went to elementary school in that area and was very familiar with the ce.


    “I actually found the goods a week ago, hidden here.”


    “What? What did you say!”


    Finally understanding the implication behind Sam’s hesitancy, Den realized that if the goods were found a week ago, then why did ine im to have no news until yesterday, and now Sam was saying the goods were in ine’s hometown?


    Putting it all together, it was not hard to see it was an inside job.


    Seeing Den’s face turning pale, tinged with a cold purplish hue, Sam lowered his head and let his long hair shield the gleam in his eyes.


    His gentle voice flowed like water.


    “Perhaps ine forgot where he hid them, but… what I want to say is not about that. It’s that yesterday, ine suddenly barged into my vi with a group of people wanting to kill me.”


    “What? Has ine lost his mind!”
