Making 95
The next day at noon, Gilmore and Gerald drove to the parking lot of the Atlas Hotel.
The Atlas Hotel was a five–star hotel owned by the Palmer family as well as the most famous hotel in Oakhaven.
Gilmore came here due to Benjamin’s call from last night. And today, it was where they would sign the purchase contract regarding 50% of the shares of Evermore Diner.
Gerald was worried about Gilmore’s safety, so he came along.
Gilmore was holding a document as he got out of the car with Gerald. They walked into Atlas Hotel together.
The chairman’s office was on the top floor of the hotel. There were two guards in suits and sunglasses standing in front of the door.
Seeing Gilmore and Gerald approach, the two bodyguards raised their hands to stop them. They sternly asked, “Who are you!”
I’m Gilmore, Benjamin invited me here,” he said.
A bodyguard scanned him and said, “You can go in, but not the guy behind you.”
Gilmore then said to Gerald, “Wait for me outside.”
Gerald nodded. Although he couldn’t enter, he could break in if anything happened to Gilmore.
The bodyguards opened the office door and said, “Go in!”
Gilmore walked into the office. The bodyguard quickly shut the door behind him.
“Welcome! Gilmore, you’re here!” As soon as Gilmore entered the office, he heard a welcoming voice.
Following the voice, he saw Benjamin standing up from the big chair behind his desk with a face full of joy.
In addition to Benjamin, Ms. Patterson and Mr. Alex were sitting on the sofa next to him. Gilmore remembered their faces)
Gilmore nodded slightly at Benjamin. “Sorry to keep you waiting
“No worries! Please take a seat!” Benjamin kindly gestured for him to sit on the sofa.
Gilmore sat down. Seeing that, Ms. Patterson stood up and got two cups of coffee from the coffee machine, and then placed the coffee cups on the table in front of both Gilmore and Benjamin.
Benjamin took a sip of the coffee. He looked at Gilmore and said. “Let’s get straight to the point. Yesterday, you quoted me 100 million for 50% of the shares of Evermore Diner.
“After discussing it with my family, they all agreed that the quoted price was unreasonably high.
“But we thought it over some more. We think Evermore Diner has its own charm and character. More importantly, I will be able to cooperate with Claire. That matters a lot to me.
“Claire has always been my dream girl. So I begged my family repeatedly. In the end, they agreed to pay 100 million for 50%
of the shares of Evermore Diner.”
Gilmore nodded. “You have keen eyes, Mr. Palmer! It’s a good deal
Hearing that, Benjamin forced a smile. “Of course!”
But he was cursing inwardly, “Yeah, a good deal for youl Bastard
He was suffering a great loss!
He would never have spent such a large amount of money if it wasn’t for Claire and the Carter family!
However, just as his grandfather said, Gilmore might not be able to spend the money anyway.
“Mr. Alex, bring us the contract, please,‘ Benjamin said to his lawyer.
After hearing that, Alex reacted quickly and began to get something out of his briefcase.
“Hold on,” Gilmore said right then..
Benjamin and the others immediately looked at Gilmore. Benjamin asked, “Yes?”
“Let’s sign my contract, not yours,” Gilmore said in a friendly manner to Benjamin.
Benjamin immediately realized Gilmore’s concern. He didn’t trust the terms that Alex would have.
Benjamin knew that their contract looked good and professional, but Alex played with the language on it.
He wanted to trap Gilmore with a problematic contract.
But Gilmore was wary of the contract and had come prepared, so Benjamin had to drop his plan.
see. So you brought a contract with you.” Benjamin said to Alex, “Please put our contract back, Mr. Alex.”
Alex agreed and closed his briefcase.
Gilmore placed his documents on the table and said, “Please take a look at my contract.”
Benjamin glanced at Ms. Patterson and Mr. Alex.
The two immediately understood and started to read Gilmore’s contract.
After carefully reviewing the contract, they nodded at Benjamin, indicating there was no problem with it.
“Good! We can sign the contract now.” Benjamin’s face lit up.
Gilmore nodded. “Okay. Let’s make the deal.”
Mr. Alex opened up his briefcase again. He took out two pens and handed one each to Gilmore and Benjamin. He also took out an ink pad.
They signed their names and pressed their fingerprints on the last page of the contract.
After that step, Gilmore and Benjamin would have a contract under seal in two copies.
Then, Gilmore said to Benjamin, “Now, can I have the money in my bank account according to our contract?”
The 100 million was a pain to Benjamin, but he still said to Ms. Patterson, “Transfer 100 million to Mr. Reed’s account.” Ms. Patterson nodded. She looked at Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, please let me know your bank account number.” Gilmore simply took out a bank card from his pocket and
showed it to Ms. Patterson. Transfer the money to this card.” It was for a bank account at Juliss Bank. Claire had given him that bank card.

Ms. Patterson took the bank card from him and dialed a number
She said on the phone, “Hello, please transfer 100 million dollar to this account number.”
Then she gave the person on the other end his bank account number.

After that, she hung up the phone and handed the card back to Gilmore, and said, “Mr. Reed, we’ve transferred the money to
second.” your account. It’ll arrive at any
Gilmore took back his card and nodded. “Thank you!”
Then, he casually put the bank card into his pocket.
“Beep! Beep!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Just then, he received a message.
He tapped on the message. It was from Claire. Her message was simple: 100 million arrived!”
Claire was the owner of the bank card, so she was the person who received information about the account.
Since she had already received the money, Gilmore had completed his task.
He said to Benjamin, “Since we’ve closed the deal, I’ll be leaving now.”
But Benjamin smiled and called out to him. “It’s almost lunchtime. Since you’re in our Atlas Hotel, I’ll treat you, and we can celebrate our successful business deal.”
After hearing what he said, Gilmore quickly realized that he was up to something.
So, he used his God’s Eye to see what was about to happen.
A smile lifted up a corner of his lips as he realized, “Oh! That’s how it is!”
He said to Benjamin, “Since you’re willing to pay, then I’m willing to join you for lunch.”
“Great! You’ll be my guest! Let’s go downstairs.”
Gilmore and Benjamin walked out, and Ms. Patterson and Mr. Alex followed behind them.
