Making Millions With The Eyes Of God

Making 93

In a private room of the Everleigh Restaurant in a mall, Gilmore, Benjamin, a middle–aged woman, and a man in a suit were sitting at a table.

A waiter served each one of them a cup of water.

Apart from the water, many dishes of snacks were placed on the table.

After serving the water and snacks, the waiter left the room and closed the door.

“Gilmore, have some snacks, please,” Benjamin said warmly.

Gilmore had not eaten anything yet, so he picked up a dessert pleat and acted like he was at home.

Seeing that, the rest of the others also picked up their knives and forks and began to eat.

“By the way, I forgot to introduce these two to you,” Benjamin said while eating.

Gilmore was busy eating and did not even raise his eyes as he said, “Introduce them then.”

Seeing Gilmore’s indifference, Benjamin was a bit angry inwardly.

But he suppressed his anger when thinking of buying Evermore Diner.

-Therefore, he gestured to the middle–aged woman on the left and said, “This is Ms. Patterson, the General Manager of Gastronova Ventures”

Ms. Patterson, who was wearing heavy makeup, immediately smirked and said to Gilmore, who was still busy eating, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Reed!

But Gilmore didn’t even look at her. As he ate, he replied, “Okay”

With that answer, Ms. Patterson’s smirk suddenly disappeared.

Benjamin was also offended, but he continued to introduce the man in the suit on his right. “This is Mr. Alex, our chief lawyer in Castronova Ventures.”

Gilmore then lazily raised his eyes and said to Benjamin, “I see. A general manager and a chief lawyer from your family business. I guess the big business you mentioned is that you want to purchase my Evermore Diner?”

After hearing what Gilmore said, the other three were surprised,

They wondered how he knew that.

They could never know that he had used his God’s Eye to see through their purpose while eating.

In addition to that, Gilmore also saw Benjamin and his father’s plan from last night.

He did not expect that Benjamin wanted to get engaged to Claire again by purchasing Evermore Diner and replacing him in his position.

By doing that, he would get the wealth of the Carter family.

What a ruthless ambition!

Gilmore planned to keep it a secret and trick Benjamin.

“What? Did I guess wrong? Gilmore pretended to be surprised.

It took Benjamin a moment to react, and then he immediately smiled at Gilmore. “No, you’re very smart. You figured it out even before you heard it from me,

“You’re right, I do want to buy Evermore Diner. Name your price

Gilmore picked up a steak and said while cating. “Mr. Palmer, why are you interested in my small restaurant? After all, your family is the big shot in the catering industry.

Benjamin replied with a smile, “Your Everinore Diner has character and charm. So, we’d like to open a restaurant just like it.”

“But Claire and I own this restaurant together. I’m afraid I can’t sell it to you,” Gilmore said, pretending to be hesitant.

“Don’t worry. Just sell your shares to me secretly, and I promise you that she’ll never know about it.

“But my parents want to keep this restaurant, and they like what they’re doing….

“That’s fine. Even if you sell me the restaurant, your parents can still work there”

“But as you can see, Evermore Diner is getting popular on the Internet recently, and our business is good.”

“Yes, of course! That’s why I’m willing to pay you more than the value of your shares. Now… name your price. Benjamin smiled.

Gilmore took a sip of tea and said. “Well, you can have it as long as you can afford it. I’m not a big fan of being a restaurant owner anyway.

Benjamin was ecstatic to hear that. He thought to himself, “As I expected, he’s a poor man from the countryside who can’t resist the temptation of money,”

Benjamin asked Gilmore, “So, what’s your price?”

Gilmore held up one finger on his right hand.

Seeing that finger, Benjamin, Ms. Patterson, and Mr. Alex looked at each other.

Then, Ms. Patterson, who had heavy makeup on, managed to make a smile and asked, “Mr. Reed, is that a million dollars?” Gilmore gave her a withering look and said, “My restaurant earns 100 thousand dollars a day, Are you kidding me?”

Ms. Patterson looked embarrassed and did not know what to say.

Only a fool would sell such a good business for a million dollars

Thus, Mr. Alex’s eyes lit up behind his glasses, and he said, “Mr. Reed, you mean 10 million dollars?”

However, Gilmore directly answered, “No!”

Mr. Alex and Ms. Patterson showed looks of disbelief on their faces as they wondered, “Is this guy trying to sell that small restaurant for 100 million?”

Benjamin also frowned in disbelief, looking at Gilmore and asking, “You mean 100 million dollars?”

This time, Gilmore smiled. “Yes, 100 million dollars”

Benjamin’s face twitched while he thought, “100 million dollars for a small restaurant? What a greedy bastard! Is he crazy?” After that, Gilmore added. “US dollars!”

After they heard what he said, Benjamin’s face turned blue, and Ms. Patterson and Mr. Alex were also astonished.

They tried hard to not punch Gilmore.

There were all thinking, “100 million dollars is such a large amount of money!

“How dare him!

“Is that a joke? What an absurd price!”

However, Gilmore felt that it was a reasonable price.

His serious expression was telling them that the quoted price was indeed not a joke.

And he would not accept a bargain.

After a while, Benjamin calmed down. He looked at Gilmore and said, “It’s too expensive! How about 70 million?”

Ms. Patterson and Mr. Alex thought that even 70 million dollars was still extremely high.

However, Gilmore firmly said. “Then forget about my restaurant. I know it’s a small restaurant, but bear in mind that Claire and I are forming a great bond because of it

“If we get married one day, the huge assets of the Carter family will be mine. At that time, I’d get way more than 100 million.

“Now, do you think 100 million dollars is too high of a price?”

Benjamin was stunned.

Gilmore had told his secret out loud.

The reason he wanted to buy Evermore Diner was because of Claire. He planned to bond with her and get the wealth of the Carter family through marriage.

He didn’t expect Gilmore to have the same plan!

Benjamin was angry inwardly but forced a smile and said, “Gilmore, it’s not that simple. I’m afraid Mr. Carter won’t let you marry Claire.

“That’s because you aren’t from a wealthy family. Mr. Carter would never let his only granddaughter marry an average man.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Gilmore nodded. “You’re right. Because of that, I want to sell Evermore Diner at a good price. So there’s nothing to regret if I can’t get the wealth from the Carter family.”

Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Gilmore was not that into Claire. So, it sounded like a beneficial situation for Benjamin.

“Gilmore, I’ll give you 80 million dollars for the Evermore Diner

“I think you’re not the decision–maker. Why don’t you go back home and discuss it with your dad? My offer is 100 million dollars, and that’s final! Gilmore was already full so he was about to leave. He picked up a toothpick and stood up.

Benjamin was dazed. He knew that Gilmore was right–he was not the decision–maker. 100 million was beyond the bounds of his ability.

Thus, he said to Gilmore, “Alright, I’ll think about it.”

Gilmore said, “Okay. Get back to me soon.”
