Making 94
In the Palmer family’s manor, Wallace shouted in shock and anger. “What? 100 million dollars? Is he crazy?”
After hearing from Benjamin that Gilmore’s price for Evermore Diner was 100 million, he was furious and stupefied.
Moreover, that 100 million was just 50% of the shares of Evermore Diner.
Wallace knew the market price. 100 million dollars was even enough to buy a big company.
Benjamin angrily said, “He said he would keep the restaurant to bond with Claire if he couldn’t sell it. And once they get married, he’d have all of the Carter family’s wealth.
“So, he won’t do any bargaining”
Wallace’s eyes flashed with anger. “As I expected, he did everything for the Carter family’s money”
Then, Wallace looked at Emerson sitting on the sofa and asked, Dad, what do you think?”
Emerson’s eyes flickered, and he said, “I think we can buy Evermore Diner for 100 million dollars.”
Wallace and Benjamin were shocked!
They didn’t expect that Emerson would agree to buy the restaurant for 100 million!
Wallace hurriedly said, “But Dad, everyone in Oakhaven would laugh at us for buying half of the shares of a small restaurant for 100 million!”
“It looks stupid at first, but once Denton and Claire see Gilmore’s true colors as being a greedy and profit–driven man, they would no longer treat him as a candidate to be the son–in–law,” Mr. Emerson calmly said.
“They would choose Benjamin instead once they find out that we spent 100 million to buy the restaurant just to bond with Claire. We’d win their trust and respect.”
While Mr. Emerson spoke, his face looked cold and cruel. ‘Maybe Gilmore won’t even get the chance to spend the 100 million he gets from us.”
Wallace caught on and said, “Do you mean to kill him after giving him the money? And get our money back?”
“Without the protection of the Carter family, killing him would be as easy as killing a dog,” Mr. Emerson said flatly.
Wallace and Benjamin were overjoyed by this idea. That made sense! Without the protection of the Carter family, Gilmore would be a weak lowlife with a large amount of money.
“Tadmire your wisdom and courage, Grandpa Benjamin immediately stood up and bowed to Mr. Emerson.
Mr. Emerson just waved his hand. “That’s enough. Make sure to take down the Carter family and the girl this time. Don’t mess it up like last time. And be wary of Gilmore.”
Benjamin’s eyes looked sharp and firm as he declared, “I won’t let you down this time, Grandpa! I’ll make Gilmore suffer humiliation!”
Mr. Emerson nodded.
The three of them n continued to discuss how to deal with Gilmore in the living room of the manor.
However, at the same moment, in Newhaven Commercial Plaza, Gilmore was slowly swirling a glass of red wine in Claire’s office.
With his God’s Eye, The witnessed how the Palmer family planned to buy Evermore Diner for 100 million and remove him from being a candidate to marry into the Carter family.
And how they planned to kill him once he was unprotected after giving him the money. Then, they would get their 100
million back.
A smirk lifted up a comer of his lips.
He admitted that the Palmer family was wily, treacherous, and ruthless.
He would hardly be able to escape from their trap without his insightful God’s Eye.
“What? Benjamin wants to buy your shares of Evermore Diner? Claire, who was sitting behind the desk, was shocked after learning about Benjamin’s intention.
Gilmore nodded. Yup, he wants to buy my shares. And I’ve given him a price
Upon hearing that, Claire was angry. “Why did you offer to sell han 50% of the shares? You’re willing to sell everything for his dirty money?”
She was sad and disappointed inwardly.
The reason she had opened Evermore Diner with Gilmore was for them to bond.
Apart from that, she had been moved by his idea of natural healthcare food.
However, Gilmore was going to sell her goodwill and her valuable Evermore Diner to Benjamin, who made disgusted her
the most.
She just couldn’t understand it.
Gilmore calmly said, “First of all, I only said I’d sell 30% of Evermore Diner in Newhaven Commercial Plaza, not 500% of the Evermore Group.
“Secondly, it’s not dirt money. I asked for 100 million for 50% of the shares of this restaurant!”
Claire was stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and said, “You mean you’d sell half of the shares for 100 million dollars…?“.
Half of the shares of a small restaurant would sell for 100 million dollars! She was shocked because no one would do business like that.
Unless the restaurant was made of gold.
Moreover, Gilmore said that he would only sell 50% of the shares of one restaurant, not the entirety of the Evermore Group. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
That meant that Gilmore was still Claire’s partner. They were just ending the partnership in the restaurant in Newhaven Commercial Plaza.
That sounded acceptable.
But she was still a little confused. “Are they willing to pay 100 million to buy 50% of the shares of Evermore Diner?”
Gilmore then told Claire about Benjamin’s plan.
Benjamin wanted to use the restaurant to bond with her, so he could get all the wealth of the Carter family after marrying
her.
In the end, Gilmore looked at Claire and said, “It seems like theyll suffer a loss after spending 100 million dollars, but they
are very clever.”
After hearing what he said, Claire asked in surprise, “Did Benjamin tell you everything?”
Gilmore shook his head, “No. I was just guessing, but it’s pretty close.”
Claire fell silent. She knew that Gilmore was right, the Palmer family wanted to arrange the marriage only to get the Carter family’s wealth.
“I won’t let them win!” Claire said with a sharpness in her eyes,
Gilmore nodded. “Of course we won’t let them win. Moreover, we’ll make them pay for it.”
“Pay for it?” Claire looked at him in confusion.
Gilmore whispered in her ear for a while.
After she heard what he whispered, her face lit up and she smiled. “Good plan!”
Gilmore raised his glass of red wine and said with a smile on his face, “Let’s just wait for the 100 million for our next branch! Cheers!”
A graceful smile appeared on Claire’s face. She also raised her wine glass from the desk, and then they chinked glasses
‘Cheers!
