Making 85
Benjamin walked up to Gilmore and lowered his head slightly. “Gilmore, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have sent someone to follow you and brought you so much trouble.”
Apologizing to Gilmore meant a great humiliation for Benjamin.
It made him feel as if a poisonous snake was biting his heart. For him it was indescribable torture.
He swore in his heart. “Today I have bowed my head to you and apologized. But one day, I will make you kneel in front of me like a dog
However, Gilmore sneered at his apology. “Do you really think saying I’m sorry is enough?”
The words shocked Benjamin. Anger flashed through his eyes. “What does he mean?” he thought.
He, the young master of the Palmer family, had apologized to him. “Isn’t that enough he thought
Even Emerson and Wallace’s eyes were flashing with anger. They thought Gilmore had gone too far.
It was obvious that he wanted to make things difficult for Benjamin in order to humiliate him.
Denton was also a little perplexed. Gilmore didn’t accept Benjamin’s apology. What did he want him to do then?
Suppressing the bursting anger in his heart, Benjamin looked at Gilmore and asked, “Gilmore, other than apologizing, what else can I do?”
Gilmore chuckled. “If an apology is enough for you, I can say sorry after have killed you, then everything would be fine.”
Wallace was finally unable to bear it any longer. He said with fury, “Gilmore, that’s too much. Although I was wrong, you didn’t suffer any substantial injuries”
Gilmore looked at Wallace and said, “You’re finally telling the truth. According to you, Mr. Carter didn’t kill me, so that means nobody got hurt. Your apology isn’t sincere at all. You were only making a show to Mr. Carter, right?”
“Gilmore, don’t try to make a false accusation about me. My apology is sincere. But you slandered me.” Benjamin was completely furious.
Gilmore mocked, “A single apology can’t erase your sinister intentions that almost took my life. And you also caused Claire great suffering. You can’t get away with it just like this!”
Now that they were talking about this, Gilmore stared at Denton and said with a severe voice, “Mr. Carter, what happened tonight is all the Palmer family’s fault. As a result, you almost took action to kill me and misunderstood Chire.
“They wanted to get Claire into their family as soon as possible, so they did such evil actions, regardless of your love for Claire.
“They’re such an evil family. Mr. Carter, please cancel the engagement!”
Benjamin’s expression immediately turned dark.
Gilmore’s words were practically the death penalty for him and his family.
But what shocked him the most was that Gilmore actually knew what he was thinking about
He wanted to kill Gilmore.
He wanted to make Mr. Carter furious about the relationship between Claire and Gilmore.
Then, Mr. Carter would give the order to marry Claire to him immediately. That was Benjamin’s main plan..
Gilmore was right in everything.
Gilmore was like a parasite in his stomach. He knew everything!
This was unbelievable!
Emerson couldn’t bear it any longer. He angrily scolded Gilmore, “Don’t you dare to spout nonsense!”
If Gilmore kept talking, the Palmer family wouldn’t be able to clear their name even with all water in a river.
However, Denton looked at Emerson and declared, “Emerson, I think Gilmore’s words make a lot of sense!”
A trace of surprise flashed across Emerson’s face. He obviously never expected that Denton would protect Gilmore.
He didn’t give Emerson, an old friend for decades, any respect at all..
Emerson was completely speechless.
“Grandfather, Gilmore is right. To marry me into the Palmer Family, they resorted to unscrupulous means and even tried to destroy our relationship. I will never marry Benjamin.” Claire’s declaration revealed her both determination and indignation.
Denton looked at Emerson. “Emez, as you can see, neither Claire nor Gilmore are willing to accept your apology.
“You have to pay for this matter, so I have to make a difficult decision and cancel the engagement arranged by both our families.
Upon hearing this, Claire was delighted in secret.
Not marrying Benjamin was something that Claire always wanted.
Now, her wish had finally come true.
Even David and his daughter, Christine, felt satisfied. They finally saved Claire from a crisis with Gilmore.
However, the cancellation was like a bomb exploding in Emerson and Benjamin’s minds.
They were absolutely shocked!
Because not only had their family failed to gain something, they had even lost their engagement.
Emerson was completely surprised.
But today’s matter needed to come to this point. If nothing was resolved, not only would Gilmore and Claire be reluctant to believe the truth, but even Denton and the Carter family would never be able to calm down their anger
Thus, Emerson could only accept this fact.
All he could do was talk with Denton again ab
about the marriage after this matter was over.
Emerson nodded at Denton. “Okay, I’ll do as you say. This engagement is canceled now.”
Upon hearing that his grandfather had agreed with it, Benjamin’s heart was dealt with another devastating blow.
However, since his grandfather had accepted this, it would be inappropriate if he said something more about it. Emerson then left the family state with Benjamin and Wallace.

After they were gone, Dentop ordered dozens of Phantom Guards in the hall to withdraw.
In the hall, remained only four members of the Carter Family, David and his daughter, and Gilmore.

Denton didn’t seem so solemn anymore. He stared at Claire and Gilmore. “Why are you still standing there? Sit down.”
Claire and Gilmore came back to their senses and sat down on the sofa.
Denton ordered the housekeeper standing aside, “Stephen, ask someone to bring us some coffee.”
“Yes, sir.” Stephen left.
Minutes later, Stephen and a maid came back with a few cups of coffee.
He placed the cups on the tray in front of Denton, Gilmore, and the others.
Then he waved his hand at the maid and she left.
“Have some coffee!” Denton ordered everyone.
Gilmore, Claire’s parents, David and his daughter agreed and picked up their cups to drink.
Now that the crisis was over, everyone felt much more relaxed while drinking their coffee.
After having finished the coffee, David said to Denton, “Mr. Carter, it’s getting late. Jessica is waiting for me at home, Christine and I should go back.”
Denton nodded. “Please come with Jessica some other day. It’s been a while since the last time she visited me.”
“Sure, we’ll come here soon to visit you.” David said with respect.
“Goodbye, grandpa, uncle, aunt! Goodbye, cousin!” Christine also said goodbye to everyone in the Carter family.
Because everyone was leaving, it was time for Gilmore to leave as well.
“Mr. Carter, I’ll take my leave as well.” Gilmore stood up and bowed toward him.
Denton nodded. “When you are free, you can come to visit Claire more often.”
Those words took everyone by surprise.
Particularly, Christopher and his wife, and David thought, “Does it mean Denton now considers Gilmore as Claire’s boyfriend?”
David had mixed feelings about this. He just wanted to save Gilmore and Claire’s lives tonight.
But he wanted Gilmore to be his son–in–law, not the Carter family’s
He couldn’t accept that he secretly wanted to remind Gilmore not to fall in love with Claire.
Denton indeed saw Gilmore as Claire’s boyfriend.
Tonight, Gilmore displayed both courage and cool–headedness. He punished the Palmer family. All of these showed his outstanding abilities.
Denton had a whole new level of respect for Gilmore. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
When Gilmore heard Denton’s words, he couldn’t help but glance at Claire.
