Making 75
Claire looked at Gilmore and suddenly said, “Thank you!”
Gilmore smiled. “What for?”
Claire picked up a cup of coffee from the table, took a sip, and said, “Thank you for speaking up for me just now
“It’s just a piece of cake. Don’t mention it. Then Gilmore asked curiously, “Your family wants you to marry Benjamin?”
There was a hint of sadness in Claire’s eyes. She nodded and said. “Yes.”
“I am the only daughter of the third generation of the Carter family. I have to be responsible for the whole family, so my family wants me to marry a son of a wealthy family of equal social status.”
Then, Claire told Gilmore about her relationship with Benjamin and even her relationship with Brandon.
After listening to her explanation, Gilmore finally understood what was going on.
In fact, it was similar to what he had guessed before.
As Claire was the only daughter of the Carter family. Denton Carter and her parents would not allow he casually, nor would they allow her to marry an ordinary person.
Obviously, even a man from an ordinary wealthy family would be regarded as “ordinary person
The Carter family wanted Claire to marry into a rich and powerful family.
Therefore, the Palmer family, the richest and most influential one, was chosen.
to love anyone.
As for the family’s arrangements, Claire was extremely opposed, thus had a tense relationship with the family. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
In the end, her family was afraid that Claire would do something stupid if they pressured her too much.
Therefore, the family finally made an agreement with her that if she could show her outstanding ability in business, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family’s enterprise in the future, then she didn’t have to accept the marriage her family arranged for her and could choose the person she really loved.
Claire agreed to the agreement. The family then handed over a plaza project to her.
This Plaza is the Newhaven Commercial Plaza. Claire has already been in the Vice–President position for half a year.
According to the agreement, she had to increase the sales and profits of the Newhaven Commercial Plaza by ten percent within two years.
If she could achieve this goal, she would complete the task of the agreement, and she would no longer be controlled by her family. Whether it was her marriage or her career, she could choose for herself.
Besides, she would obtain the full support of her family.
In order to reach the 10% of the family’s goal, Claire had devoted herself to the operation of the business plaza for the past half year.
hard for her to improve by 10% in two
However, even if her business ability was outstanding and she went all out, it was s years in the increasingly saturated market environment of Business Plaza in Oakhaven.
@ +92%
In the past half a year, the turnover and profits of the Newhaven Commercial Plaza had also increased by 1.5%.
This outcome was a huge blow to Claire.
In order to avoid her marriage with Benjamin, she had even asked Brandon to be her ‘boyfriend, as a shield.
However, even though she had used Brandon as a shield to rejec Benjamin, Benjamin didn’t give up.
On the contrary, he kept pestering her. He called her every day, came to her office, and told her over and over again that it was impossible to increase the turnover and profits by 10% in two years.
Although Claire seemed to be quite tough, she was just to cover up her crumbling heart.
After saying all this. Claire looked at Gilmore and said, ‘Actually, these days, I have been thinking about how to break through the bottleneck of the commercial plaza’s development.
“Furthermore, I also want to find a new project outside the plaza
“Thus, in a sense, the new cooperation about rustic food is a hope for me.”
Gilmore nodded at her. “You will succeed and will definitely get rid of your family’s control.”
Claire looked at Claire and said, “There is one thing that I don’t know if I should tell you or not.
What do you want to say? Just say it!” Gilmore said with a smile.
Claire said, “Then I’ll say it. I just told Benjamin that you’re my boyfriend, so…”
It seemed that Claire wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Gilmore said, “Do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend in the future?”
Claire’s eyes were full of joy. She did not expect that Gilmore would know what she meant before she said it.
Deep in her heart, she was thinking that sooner or later, she would make Gilmore, a fake boyfriend, become a real one.
This reminded her of her cousin Christine. Since her cousin only regarded Gilmore as a fake boyfriend, then she would treat him as a real one.
Gilmore looked at Claire whose eyes were filled with joy and asked. “Is there anything else you need my help with?”
Claire suddenly came back to her senses and quickly shook her head at Gilmore, saying, “No.”
“OK. Shouldn’t we go back?” Gilmore asked.
Claire blushed and said, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll take you back.”
After that, Claire called the female manager to settle the bill. The manager walked Claire and Gilmore out of the restaurant.
In the underground parking lot, in the Rolls Royce, Benjamin’s eyes were gloomy and his aura was frightening. He was pressuring Marco to the point where the latter could hardly breathe.
“Why didn’t Mr. Salazar help me teach Gilmore a lesson in the restaurant earlier?” Benjamin raised his eyes, looking at Marlon who was sitting on the other side.

It was unsuitable for Benjamin to act in such a situation.
However, Marlon was different because Marlon was his man.
It was his duty to teach a lesson for his boss.
Not to mention, his boss was humiliated by Gilmore.
However, other than persuading Benjamin to leave, Marlon didn’t do anything else, which made Benjamin a bit dissatisfied.
Back then, the reason he took Marco in was not out of kindness. Instead, it was because Marlon was a martial–arts expert that he could make use of. That was why he had taken in Marco, a homeless dog.
Marlon naturally knew why Benjamin was dissatisfied with him.
He looked at Benjamin and said embarrassedly, “I didn’t kick him for you, it’s my fault! However, I do have something to report. It is Gilmore who is the main culprit behind the destruction of the Chapman family!”
Benjamin furrowed his brows in surprise. “What did you say? It’s him who caused the Chapman family’s destruction?” Marlon cupped his fists together and solemnly said, “Yes, every word of mine is true. I definitely wouldn’t dare to lie to you. Marco, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, gnashed his teeth and said with hatred in his eyes, “Yes, Marlon is right. The reason why our Chapman Family ended up in such a miserable state is all because of Gilmore.”
Seeing Marco and Marlon’s expressions, Benjamin finally believed them.
He looked at Marlon and said, “Tell me the details about how Gilmore caused the Chapman family to be destroyed.”
