SWNOVELS Chapter Making 317
Chapter 317
Lilian finally came back to her senses after feeling gratitude and happiness.
She then asked, “Gilmore, how do you manage to have so much money to buy a hillside villa?”
She knew that he had established the Evermore Group with Claire Carter.
She also knew that the Evermore Group was thriving.
But still, 100 million was not a small sum.
Gilmore explained, “In addition to the profits I made with the Evermore Group, I also made a fortune on the stock market.
“So, I can afford a villa halfway up the mountain that costs 100 million dollars.”
Lilian agreed that could indeed afford it.
He could always surprise her and even appear omnipotent to her.
She remembered the last time she returned to Elmwood, she had thought that Gilmore was still poor and thought little of himself like he did before.
But he had already won the lottery and had millions.
Later on, when Gilmore and Claire set up the Evermore Group, it flourished all over Vane.
Now, he had even spent 100 million dollars to buy a top–notch hillside villa in Kouis Bay.
She admired Gilmore so much.
She was his biggest fan.
After breakfast, they took a walk in the garden of the villa hand in hand.
The courtyard of the villa was very large, with a swimming pool, grass, and even a garden.
They smelled fragrant flowers under the shade cast by the green trees.
While walking, Lilian received a call from her assistant, Becky Swan.
It turned out that Becky had been looking for her all night, but her phone had been off.
Becky got so anxious that she was about to report Lilian missing
Fortunately, Becky got through to Lilian and asked her why she had disappeared after the banquet.
Lilian explained that she and her boyfriend left the hotel afterward and she just forgot to inform her.
After learning that Lilian was fine, Becky felt relieved and asked her where she was now.
Lilian said that she was on vacation in her boyfriend’s villa.
After hearing that, Becky sensibly did not mention picking Lilian up. Instead, she wished her a pleasant vacation and

decided to return to Eldoria first.
She also reminded Lilian to take good care of herself.
After that. Lilian hung up.
In the afternoon, two taxis arrived at the gate of the hillside villa.
fa
Five people got out of the car–Gerald Graves leading four burly men.
The four were all bodyguards that Gerald had selected from the Carter family.
Gerald marveled at the high–end villa in front of him and couldn’t help exclaiming in his heart, “Gilmore is indeed rich!”
The hillside villa was in a favorable position both in terms of living environment and location. Even in the whole country, it was top–notch.
It was worth at least more than 20 million dollars!
Gerald didn’t imagine Gilmore buying such a luxurious villa in Kouis Bay.
Then, he rang the doorbell.
“Ding–dong-
Soon, Gilmore and Lilian walked out.
Spotting Gerald through the iron gate, Gilmore smiled and walked over with Lilian.
He opened the gate and greeted him. “Gerald, you’re here so soon.”
Before Gerald arrived, Gilmore had sent him the address of the villa.
Gerald nodded. “Yes, I wanted to see you as soon as possible.”
Gilmore could not help but tease him. “We’re not a couple, Why were you in such a hurry to see me?”
At that, everyone burst into laughter.
Gerald answered, “Although I’m not your girlfriend like Miss Morales, I’m your bodyguard.
“I was afraid you’d be in danger left alone in Kouis and I’d fail as a bodyguard.”
Sull, Gilmore felt a little touched.
Although he didn’t need Gerald’s protection, he could tell that he was sincere.
Gilmore led the five of them into the villa.
In the living room of a luxurious villa of the Fidalgo family….
Crash!”
The sound of a teacup amashing to the ground rang out.

Chapter 317
The maid was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed.
Erik roared at the maid fiercely, “Get lost!!” His forehead was bandaged and one of his cheeks was red and swollen.
The maid immediately fled from the living room.
At that time, Pete, who was also black and blue, came in from the door.
“Please calm down, Mr. Fidalgo. Pete looked at Erik with fear on his face.
However, when Erik saw Pete, his anger only deepened. “Mr. Zellweger, how dare you come to see me!”
Last night, he asked Pete to guard outside the hotel room, so he could take advantage of Lilian.
Nevertheless, not only did he lose the girl, but he was almost crippled by Gilmore.
And it was all because Pete did not warn him in time so that he could be on guard.
Pete looked aggrieved and pleaded with him. “Mr. Fidalgo, I was knocked out last night before I could even see his face clearly.
“I couldn’t have warned you even if I wanted to. But it was my dereliction of duty that caused Mr. you to be so seriously injured. Mr. Fidalgo, please punish me!”
Hearing that, Erik finally calmed down a little.
He sat down on the sofa and asked, “Did you find out who attacked me last night?”
Pete said solemnly, “I did. He checked into the Hotel Royale the night before yesterday, and he stayed in a presidential suite. His name is Gilmore Reed, and he’s from Eldoria.”
Erik frowned, his eyes squinting. “From Eldoria? Is he really Lilian Morales’s boyfriend?”
Pete echoed Erik’s guess. “That’s very likely.
“Otherwise, how could just anyone kick open your door and ruin your plan?”
“I don’t care if he’s Lilian’s boyfriend or not. He almost made me infertile, Erik said through gritted teeth.
“I must make him suffer 10 times the pain he afflicted on me.”
Thinking of the vicious kick Gilmore gave him last night, he felt a dull pain in a certain part of his body.
“But, Mr. Fidalgo, after he left the hotel with Lilian Morales last night, he drove away,” Pete added.
“We can’t find his whereabouts for the time being.”
“Find out where he is hiding at all costs. I’ll make him suffer a fate worse than death.” Erik clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked.
Pete replied, “Yes, Mr. Fidalgo.”
Then he left.
Not long after Pete left, an old man in his 50s wearing traditional attire with a majestic face came in.

“Father!” Seeing the dignified–looking old man, Erik swooshed up and greeted him respectfully.
Yes, the old man was Erik’s father, Enzo Fidalgo.
“Mm,” answered Enzo before he sat down on the sofa, appearing slightly dissatisfied.
Erik felt a little uneasy as he sat down on the sofa.

Enzo stared at his son intently and said earnestly, “Erik, you are now the heir of the Fidalgo family, so you should be responsible for your deeds instead of acting willfully. If you flirt with women every day and even come back home all black and blue, when will you be able to shoulder the responsibility of the family?”
Erik immediately apologized with his head hung in shame. ‘Father, it was my fault this time. I’ll learn my lesson and live to your expectations.”
Enzo knew what had happened to Erik at the Hotel Royale.
He looked at his son and said, “Treat your injuries first. I’ll take you to meet the Suarez family in a few days and arrange a marriage for you
Shock registered on Erik’s face. “The Suarezes? A marriage?”
