Although Benjamin was furious, he still had to maintain a graceful manner.
But he would never drink with Gilmore.
Benjamin turned to Denton and said, “Please allow me to propose a toast to you. I wish you a long and happy life!”

But Denton waved his hand and said, “Thank you, but I’m too old and can’t drink too much now. Gilmore will drink for me”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin was a bit embarrassed. He didn’t see that coming.
He thought to himself, “Why is he still in favor of Gilmore? Why is he not mad at him for selling the restaurant?”
But then he believed what Denton had said, and thought, “Maybe Denton is truly not good at handling his alcohol. Gilmore is holding a wine glass sitting next to him, so he would have Gilmore drink instead of himself as a matter of course.”
Thinking of that, Benjamin knowingly smiled.
He said to Denton, “Since you can’t drink too much, then don’t drink. Let’s eat something.”
After saying that, he put down his wine glass and attentively served Denton some food.
He purposely neglected Gilmore because he did not want to drink wine with him.
But Gilmore didn’t care at all. He immediately raised his glass and said to Claire, “Cheers to me for successfully selling the shares of Evermore Diner, and cheers to the Evermore Group’s promising future!”
Claire smiled sweetly and gracefully raised her glass. “Cheers! For the future of the Evermore Group!”
They clinked glasses and drank up their wine.
Seeing that, Benjamin and his father and grandfather were all in a daze.
Shouldn’t Claire be furious about what Gilmore did? After all, he had sold half of the shares!
In addition, what was the Evermore Group that Gilmore had just mentioned?
They sensed that something was wrong.
‘Don’t be mad at Gilmore for selling the shares,” Benjamin said to Claire. “Even without the restaurant, he can still develop something great in other businesses. He was trying to alienate them by saying pretty words.
He pretended to be caring, but he wanted to provoke her into getting angry. However, he failed to do so.
On the contrary, Claire smiled at Benjamin, which was a rare thing to see for him, and said, “I’m not mad at Gilmore. The shares he sold belonged to a branch restaurant of our Evermore Group.
“He sold them for 100 million, which enabled our Evermore Group to have enough capital to expand.
“We now have the necessary funds to develop the Evermore Group, and we also increased my performance in Newhaven Commercial Plaza by 500% in one day.
After saying that, she looked at her grandfather sweetly. “Grandpa, has my performance been good enough to lift my restrictions?”
A kind smile appeared on the old man’s face, and he nodded to Claire. “Our initial agreement was for you to increase your performance in Newhaven Commercial Plaza by 10% in two years, and that was your goal.
“But after cooperating with Gilmore, your performance in Newhaven Commercial Plaza increased by 500%. You didn’t just meet the requirement, you overshot it by a mile.
“Thus, your restrictions have officially come to an end.
I won’t interfere with your decisions in the future. You can make your own way and marry whoever you like.
“But you and Gilmore need to thank Benjamin properly. You wouldn’t have reached your goal without him. You should toast
him.”
Claire and Gilmore said to Denton together, “Yes, Grandpal”
“Yes, Mr. Carter!”
Then, Gilmore and Claire raised their glasses and said to Benjamin, “Mr. Palmer, thank you for helping us! Cheers!”
Seeing that, Benjamin was dumbfounded!
It turned out that Gilmore and Claire had set up a company–the Evermore Group.
Gilmore only sold Benjamin half of the shares of one of the restaurants of the Evermore Group, not the entire group.
So Gilmore and Claire were still in a partnership.
What made Benjamin even angrier was that he spent 100 million on Evermore Diner, which was still under the control of the Evermore Group!
That made him out to be a complete idiot who had bought Evermore Diner for 100 million.
100 million dollars!
In the end, Claire and Gilmore were still in a good relationship, and Mr. Carter was proud of what Gilmore had done!
But Benjamin and the Palmer family got nothing-
Benjamin was about to vomit blood out of anger.
Mr. Emerson and Wallace also looked terrible.
They realize that they had once again fallen into Gilmore’s trap.
100 million!
They gave the money to Gilmore just like that!
They felt like he had eaten their flesh and drank their blood.
That hatred was so deep that even no words could describe the feeling!
Although Benjamin was on the verge of collapsing, he couldn’t show it at this banquet.
He forced a smile, raised his glass, and said to Gilmore and Claire. “My pleasure!”
During the remaining time of the banquet, the Palmer family could only force themselves to smile, and they looked absent- minded, whereas Gilmore and Claire were enjoying the banquet They exchanged sweet glances and seemed to be loving and happy.
That upset the Palmer family even more.

When the banquet was finally over, the Palmer family gave the Carter family members a send–off.
After that, they went back to the office on the top floor of the hotel. Emerson sat in the big chair with a terrible look on his
face.
Sensing his rage, Benjamin and Wallace didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Grandpa… what should we do about the 100 million?” Benjamin carefully asked.
Emerson was boiling with rage. He didn’t expect to miscalculate!
This time, he was less calculating than Gilmore!
“I hope he won’t spend the money. Otherwise, I’ll make him pay! Emerson slammed his hand down on the armrest.
That slam made the wooden armrest break and fall to pieces on the ground.
Benjamin was shocked by that power.
His grandfather was not a force martialist like Denton.
But he had been a martialist decades ago.
That hard slam of his was truly astonishing.
Wallace looked at his father and asked in concern, “Will we be in trouble if Denton finds out what we’re gonna do to Gilmore?”
“Yes, there will be trouble if he knows about it.” Emerson spoke solemnly with sharp eyes.
“So we mustn’t let the Carters know who attacked Gilmore.”
Is to get
Wallace seemed to have thought of something and said in a low voice, “Why don’t we use Marlon Salazar? He wants to revenge for what Gilmore did to the Chapmans. In this way, no one would suspect us if Gilmore turns up dead.”
Upon hearing that, Emerson slowly returned to his usual calmness. He nodded and said, “Hmm… Alright. Let Marlon deall with him…
