Chapter 106
“Gilmore, put me down!” Claire’s face was as red as an apple.
She would never have imagined that he would carry her downstairs and formally introduce her to everyone.
She was extremely happy that he had told his family that she was his girlfriend, but she felt embarrassed as he had been carrying her like this.
She knew he was doing this because she had seduced him last night.
But now she regretted it very much and would never do it again
Regardless of her request, Gilmore simply smiled and said, “I also want to carry you out to get some fresh air and carry you to work”
Claire’s eyes widened while she was thinking. “Is he crazy!”
On the sofa, Gilmore’s parents, Everly, and Gerald looked at the couple in disbelief.
*Please don’t flirt in front of us, right? We already know you’re in a relationship, they thought.
This time, Claire reached out and pinched Gilmore’s arm.
It was so painful that Gilmore grimaced in pain.
“Put me down or I’ll pinch you again,” she warned him using a low menacing voice.
Upon hearing this, he immediately put her down. He didn’t really mean to carry her to work like this. He was just kidding.
He never expected that she would dare to pinch him.
After breakfast, Gerald drove Everly to school, while Gilmore drove his parents and Claire to the Newhaven Commercial Plaza to work.
As soon as they arrived, Gilmore said, “Dad, Mom, Claire, I’m going to Elmwood. I won’t be back until tomorrow.”
Harlan asked in confusion, “What business do you have there?”
Claire immediately remembered his plan to launch branches of Evermore Diner in Oakhaven. She supposed he was going to Elmwood to solve the food supply problems and hire the chefs.
Gilmore explained to his parents, “Actually I’m planning to open some branches of Evermore Diner in Oakhaven. I need to

go
Only then did his parents finally learn about his plans. They were delighted.
Sophia smiled and replied, “Take care.”
Gilmore nodded.
His parents and Claire got out of the car.
Claire was standing next to the car window and said to Gilmore, Tll be waiting for good news from you.”
Gilmore nodded. “Don’t worry. Ill take care of it”
Afterward, he drove away.

That same day, the news about Wallace Palmer’s death came as bombshell
hell in Oakhaven.

After reviewing the warehouse surveillance videos in the east port, the police discovered that Marlon was the murderer and immediately started to pursue him throughout the city.
From the surveillance footage, the police also discovered that Wallace had kidnapped Marco Chapman, who was found locked in a wooden box with his hands and feet bound and his mouth taped.
This led the police to start an investigation into the Palmers as well.
Although the rest of the Palmer family members‘ innocence had been eventually proven, the family’s situation was disastrous after the investigation.
After the police had left their state, Emerson was sitting with a gloomy face and completely furious in the living room with his family.
Benjamin’s face was also full of both grief and hatred.
He couldn’t believe that his father had been killed by Marlon.
Benjamin’s two uncles and three cousins were also sitting in the living room.
‘Dad, we’ll avenge Wallace!”
“Dad, we must not let him die for no reason.”
“Grandpa, we must find Marlon Salazar and destroy him!”
Both Russell Palmer and Herbert Palmer, as well as their three sons, expressed their indignation and fury to Emerson one by one.
Before Wallace died, he was in charge of the family business finances, because of this situation, his brothers and nephews had to listen to him.
Although they were in charge of several small companies owned by the family, they lacked power in decision–making
Now that Wallace was dead, the chairman position was vacant, because of this for the first time his brothers had a chance to take over the family business.
Russell, Herbert, and their sons were secretly delighted, but they didn’t dare to reveal it on their faces. In the end, they put expressions of sadness.
Emerson stared at his two sons and said, “I’ll avenge Wallace. Now that he’s gone, you all need to take care of the company and make sure it’s well managed. Also, I’ll be back in charge of the family business from now on. Any major decision needs my approval.”
Both Russell and Herbert thought at first that their father would hand the power over to them, but it turned out that he was back in charge of the family business, which made them feel somewhat disappointed.
They had no choice but to reply with submission, “Yes, Dad.”
“Now, all of you must go back to work, Emerson ordered as he waved his hand to his sons and grandsons.
Russell and the rest agreed and left the family state.
In the living room only remained Emerson, Benjamin, and Cooper Merrett, the butler.
Emerson caught a glimpse of Benjamin’s sad face and comforted him. “You should go to the funeral and see your father one last time, however, I’m not going with you. You have to tell him to rest in peace because will avenge him.”

Chapter 106
Benjamin stood up from the sofa and answered sobbing, “I will, Grandpa.”
Afterward, he turned around and left the living room.

As soon as Benjamin walked out of the door, Emerson turned to look at Cooper and asked, “Have you sent someone to check the state in the suburbs?”
Cooper bent down and whispered in his ear, “I have. Thomas McEvoy and the other experts were all burned to ashes. I have already buried them.”
A sharp light flashed across Emerson’s eyes as he declared, “Last night, Wallace told me that Marlon had caught Gilmore, so he sent almost all the outsource external force martialists who work for the Palmers to kill them. However, Wallace and the martialists‘ team were murdered, but not Marlon and Gilmore. In addition, Marlon had knowledge that Wallace was inside the warehouse in the east port, which was very suspicious. Someone must have helped them.”
Cooper’s eyes turned dreadful as he asked, “Did the Carters help them secretly?*
Emerson’s eyes darkened as he ordered with a grave voice, “We don’t have anything to prove it. You must go and find out. where Marlon is now. We must kill Gilmore as well. As long as he’s alive, we shall never have peace.”
Cooper bowed with respect and replied, “I
