Making 86
Making 86
Gilmore, David, and Christine walked out of the villa. Members of the Carter family saw them off.
Then the three of them got in a Rolls–Royce.
Along with the driver, they left the manor and headed for the Foster family’s place.
On the way, David looked at Gilmore and said, “You and Claire finally escaped the crisis tonight.”
Gilmore replied, “You and Christine cooperated well. Otherwise, I would’ve died tonight, and Claire would’ve been harmed.”
However, Christine, who was sitting beside Gilmore, did not think so. Because Gilmore was not really her boyfriend.
She did it not for cooperating with her father, but for herself.
Of course, she dared not say that in front of David.
Otherwise, he would fly into a rage just like her grandfather.
David remembered that Denton began to see Gilmore as Claire’s boyfriend, so he said to Gilmore, “You pretended to be Claire’s boyfriend just to help her. Though my father–in–law regards you as her boyfriend, you can’t fall in love with her.”
Gilmore looked at him and said awkwardly, “Mr. Foster, I’m afraid that I have to continue to pretend in front of Mr. Carter.
Otherwise, he’ll know that I have colluded with you to deceive him.”
David was in a dilemma.
It seemed that Gilmore could only be Claire’s “boyfriend‘ now. If Mr. Carter knew the truth, David might not be able to bear the anger of his father–in–law.
But fortunately, Gilmore and his daughter, Christine, were in love.
Even though Gilmore was pretending to be Claire’s boyfriend, there wouldn’t be any problems.
David was so confident in him because Gilmore once made a 200 million dollars bet with him in order to date Christine.
Therefore, David believed that Gilmore really loved Christine.
David looked at Christine and asked, “Christine, Gilmore is just pretending to be Claire’s boyfriend. You don’t mind, do you?”
He said this because he was worried that she would be unhappy
However, Christine was not unhappy at all about Gilmore pretending to be Claire’s boyfriend.
Because there was no difference between Gilmore pretending to be Claire’s boyfriend or her boyfriend.
However, her father had asked her about this. She could not reveal her true thoughts, so she put on a sullen expression and said. “Of course not. He’s helping my cousin.”
Seeing this, David forced a smile. It seemed that Christine still cared about Gilmore’s pretending.
The Foster family’s manor was not far from the Carter family’s so the Rolls–Royce soon arrived there.
Cilmore, David, and Christine got out of the car. Gilmore’s Mercedes was still in the parking lot of the manor.
He had come here before it was
dark
He had planned with David’s family about what to do in the Carter family’s manor in advance.
After getting out of the car, they walked to the largest villa in the manor.
Under the lights, a beautiful woman stood at the door. It was Jessica, Christine’s mother.
She heard the sound of a car and knew that her husband and daughter were back, so she came out to wait for them.
They came to the door, Jessica looked worried and asked, “David, how’s it going? Is Claire all right? Did Dad do anything to Gilmore?”
Gilmore, who was standing next to David, smiled at Jessica, and answered, “Mrs. Foster, I’m fine. Mr. Carter didn’t do anything-to me.”
Jessica immediately asked, “And what about Claire: Is she alright?
This time it was David who replied, “She’s fine. Let’s talk inside.
Jessica nodded.
They entered the villa.
They sat down on the sofa in the living room, and the maid served coffee.
After taking a sip of coffee, David told Jessica everything that had happened at the Carter family’s place tonight.
Jessica heard that her father had ordered dozens of black–clad guards with axes at their waists to torture Gilmore.
She was shocked, and her face turned pale.
Then she heard that David and her daughter had quelled her father’s anger in the end and that Gilmore and Claire were safé and sound.
So she breathed a sigh of relief.
And when she heard that her father had canceled the engagement with the Palmer family, she was happy.
“The Palmer family is so despicable. They did bad things to try to get Claire to marry Benjamin. They wanted to harm Gilmore and bring chaos to the Carter family.
“Father was right to cancel the engagement. If Claire really married Benjamin, I’m afraid that she’d regret it in the future!”
David nodded.
He wanted to tell his wife that his father–in–law now treated Gilmore as Claire’s boyfriend, so Gilmore still needed to play the role of her boyfriend.
But he remembered what had happened in the car.
Christine was unhappy about it, so David didn’t say anything about it.
Moreover, he didn’t know whether he would make his wife unhappy if he
and tell her.
Gilmore sat and chatted for a while then he got up and left
David asked Christine to see Gilmore off.
GO
She went to the parking lot with Gilmore.
Gilmore took out the electronic key and unlocked the Mercedes. He opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.
Then he looked at Christine and said, “Christine, thank you so much for tonight.”
He was sincere in his words.
If it weren’t for her cooperation, he couldn’t have made the Palmer family lose face.
However, Christine waved her hand at him. “You don’t have to thank me. I didn’t do it for you.

“I was telling everyone that you weren’t really my boyfriend. Now we don’t have to pretend to be a couple anymore. You’re my cousin Claire’s boyfriend now.”
Gilmore looked at her and smiled. “Marco doesn’t pester you now, so you don’t need me to be your shield, no, your boyfriend anymore. Am I right?”
Christine pursed her lips and nodded. “Although it’s a bit of a blow to your self–esteem, I really don’t need your help now.
“But by pretending to be my boyfriend, you’ve got a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars. And this car is yours. You didn’t suffer any losses.”
Gilmore smiled and said nothing. He took out a document and a bank card and handed them to Christine.
Christine was stunned. “Why?” she thought.
“Christine, this is a copy of our contract. If I remember correctly, it’s clearly stated that if the contract needs to be terminated, both parties must agree. Otherwise, the defaulting party needs to pay two billion dollars as compensation.”
Gilmore looked at Christine with a crafty look on his face.
Christine was confused. “Yes, there is such a clause, and I agree to dissolve the contract.”
Gilmore smiled. “But I don’t.”
Christine was stunned. “What does he mean?” she thought. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Doesn’t he agree to dissolve our contract?” she asked in her head.
Christine anxiously asked, “Gilmore, you want to play dirty?”
Gilmore had already fastened his seatbelt. Looking at Christine outside the window, he smiled. “You asked me to sign the contract. You’re the one who played foul first.”
“There are 40 million dollars on that bank card. It’s for the villa and the car. I bought them for you as your boyfriend
“Good night, my dear!”
After saying that, Gilmore started the car and accelerated.
With the roar of the engine, a gust of wind blew past, and Gilmores Mercedes had already galloped away.
Christine, whose long hair was messed up by the wind, was left behind. She was trembling with anger while holding the document and bank card in her hand.
She gnashed her teeth in anger. “Gilmore, you bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
