Making 96
In a luxurious private room in the Atlas Hotel.
Gilmore and Benjamin took their seats, while Ms. Patterson, Mr. Alex, and Gerald were in another private room next door.
The waitress served tea to Gilmore and Benjamin.
Although they had sat down, Benjamin did not order food right away.
He seemed to be expecting someone.
Gilmore took a sip and said to Benjamin. “Did you invite someone else?”
Benjamin smiled as he replied, “Yes, I did. They’ll be here soon.
Gilmore nodded without saying more.
Right after their conversation, they heard the sound of voices and footsteps coming from outside the door.
A waiter opened the door of the private room, then Mr. Emerson and Wallace walked in.
And following behind them were Denton, Claire, Christopher, and his wife.
Almost every key member of the Carters and the Palmers had come.
“Welcome, please have a seat!” Emerson warmly said to the Carter family members.
Denton was a little surprised when he saw Gilmore, and asked him, “Why are you here?”
Before Gilmore could explain, Benjamin said to Denton, “I just bought Evermore Diner from him, so he was invited after closing our deal?
After hearing that, Denton frowned. He glanced at Gilmore and then sat down in silence.
Seeing that, Benjamin was delighted. He thought that Mr. Carter was disappointed because Gilmore had sold the restaurant
A hint of complacency flashed across Emerson’s and Wallace’s eyes.
They knew that Benjamin had purposely informed Mr. Carter about the deal, even though Benjamin sounded innocent.
At the same time, Gilmore was expressionless.
He knew that Benjamin just thought of himself as being so clever
Emerson guided everyone to sit down.
Claire took a seat next to Gilmore, which made Benjamin feel a bit jealous.
But he quickly put away his emotions as soon as he focused on his plan.
He planned to make Gilmore disappear from Claire’s side by telling Mr. Carter what his true colors were.
“Please serve the dishes now! At this time, Wallace ordered the waitresses in the private room.
The waitresses acknowledged him and then left the room.
After a while, they served the dishes one by one.
All kinds of delicacies were then placed on the table.
The waitressés then served wine to everyone.
日常+50%备
Emerson raised his glass of red wine and said to Denton with a smile, Denton, we invited you here today because of our rudeness at your place last time. We apologize for that.
“Let me make a toast to you. Denton
Denton also raised his glass and said, “What happened is already in the past! Let’s not mention it. Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Emerson and Denton drank up the wine in their glasses.
Following that, Wallace and Benjamin also stood up and toasted Denton and Christopher couple.
After the greetings, Emerson said to Benjamin in a careless way, Benjamin, I heard that you bought a restaurant?”
Benjamin immediately replied, “Yes, that’s right. I purchased a 50% share of Evermore Diner in Newhaven Commercial Plaza from Gilmore.”
“Evermore Diner…” Emerson pondered for a while, then he said to Denton, The Evermore Diner? Where you and Claire had food and made it famous?”
Denton nodded and said, “Yes. Claire and Gilmore opened that restaurant. I went there to support them a few days ago on -its opening day. But I never expected someone would film us and make the restaurant famous.”
Emerson asked curiously, “In the video, you seemed to be enjoying the food. I wonder how good the food tastes.”
Denton nodded. “Their rustic food was delicious and unforgettable.
Emerson looked at Benjamin and said, “Did you hear that? Mr. Carter enjoyed the food in Evermore Diner very much. You must take good care of the restaurant in the future for him.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t worry. I will make sure the food tastes as good as before, and I won’t sell it to anyone no matter what, Benjamin said in a seemingly unintentional way, but in fact, he had meant every word.
Hearing that, Denton raised his eyes and said to Benjamin, “How much did you spend on Evermore Diner?”
Benjamin stared at Denton and firmly said, “100 million dollars
Upon hearing that, Emerson and Wallace pretended to be shocked, but Claire’s parents genuinely were shocked.
They couldn’t believe that a restaurant had cost him 100 million dollars.
On the other hand, Gilmore and Claire looked calm because they already knew.
In their eyes, Benjamin was a pathetic idiot who planned to move Denton’s heart by spending 100 million on the restaurant.
“I don’t know what to say. Why did you spend 100 million on a restaurant, Benjamin?” Emerson anxiously asked Benjamin.
However, Benjamin confidently said, “Grandpa, I didn’t spend 100 million just for a restaurant. I wanted to win Mr. Carter’s favor and Claire’s partnership.
“So, 100 million was a good deal to me. I spent it all for Claire, and I want her to be my wife in the future. By that time, all the wealth of the Palmer family will also belong to her.
“I spent 100 million because I followed my true heart, therefore won’t regret it.”

Emerson’s eyes flickered as he nodded. “You’ll have my support. You’re right. Claire and Mr. Carter deserve all of our wealth.”
Wallace also nodded seriously, saying, “Yes! You have our suppor
When the Palmers enjoyed themselves in the drama, they wondered if the Carters would be moved to tears.
After that, they would look down on Gilmore, who had just sold the restaurant.
And of course, they would look favorably upon Benjamin instead.
However, just as they were expecting a compliment from the Carter family, a round of applause suddenly burst out.
Wait… Who was applauding?
They first thought that Mr. Carter was praising them and applauded.
But
when they noticed the one who was doing the clapping, they were all angry inwardly.
Because that person was Gilmore.
With a bright smile on his face, Gilmore looked at them and clapped. “Tm moved by your sincerity and Jove for Claire and the Carter family. Where is the applause?
“For Claire and the Carter family, cheers!”
After saying that, he stood up with a firm look and drank up his wine in front of the Palmer family members.
Benjamin’s face twitched because Gilmore was embarrassing them
The Palmer family and the Carter family should be the center of attention at this banquet. Why did Gilmore make fun of
them?
And why did he applaud and toast them? Who did he think he was!
Benjamin was raging inwardly. “What the hell’s wrong with him?
