SWNOVELS Chapter Making 648
Chapter 648
The setting sun cast its warm rays through the floor–to–ceiling windows, illuminating the second–floor living room of the
manor.
Sitting alone on the couch, Rubus leisurely sipped his coffee.
Despite appearing relaxed as he enjoyed his drink, his gaze often wandered towards the wall clock.
It was already 5 o’clock in the evening.
He furrowed his brows, wondering if Jo should be back by now.
Just then, a car could be heard outside the manor.
Rebus brows unfurled in relief. Rubus thought, “Finally, he has returned.”
Soon, footsteps echoed from the stai
Dressed in a tailcoat, the dignified Jo ascended the stairs and approached Rubus.
He said to Rubus with a slight bow, “Master, I’m back.”
Rubus set down his coffee and looked at Jo with anticipation. Jo, tell me, have you discovered the identity of the mastermind behind today’s acquisition of 50% of my two companies?”
Jo replied, “Master, I have found out.
“I have consulted with the chairman of the securities exchange and the bankers, and they helped me trace the account responsible for heavily trading our company’s stocks today.
“Moreover, we have uncovered the person’s identity.”
Rubus‘ eyes widened in astonishment. “Who is it?” he asked, fixated on Jo.
With utmost seriousness, Jo said, “Master, it is Gilmore.”
“He’s the one!” Rubus exclaimed, his eyes widening in realization.
This news surprised Rubus.
While surprised, Rubus quickly regained his composure.
Gilmore’s involvement was both unexpected and expected.
Rubus and Smith had suspected that Gilmore was behind the plot to seize the Cuevas family’s hundred–billion–dollar
fortune.
They believed he could make some moves against their companies in the business world, although they couldn’t be certain.
But now,
Rubus was certain.
Jo’s investigation confirmed that Gilmore, through significant stock purchases in Kenda Company and Danald Company. effectively controlled 50% of both companies.
In Rubus‘ eyes, Gilmore’s trillion–dollar funds used for buying their stocks must have come from the Cuevas family’s wealth.
He never thought that Gilmore would actually follow through on the plans and cause him such substantial losses

“Master, this Gilmore doesn’t know the consequences. How dare he resort to such means? Should we take action against him?” Jo suggested with a sharp gaze, implying physical intervention.
Rubus pondered for a moment before instructing Jo, Tonight at 8 o’clock, accompany me to pay a visit to Gilmore.”
Jo was taken aback.
He thought, “Isn’t the plan to eliminate Gilmore, our potential business rival?
Why does the Master want to visit him instead?”
As Jo regained his composure, he said to Rubus, “But Master…”
Before he could finish. Rubus interrupted him, saying, “Jo, do as I say!
“And also, quickly find out where this Gilmore lives.”
Jo could only reply. “Yes, Master.”
Then, he went downstairs.
Rubus picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip as he watched the sunset in the sky.
He thought to himself, “This Gilmore, it seems I underestimated him.”
The reason he told the butler to visit Gilmore tonight was because Gilmore held 50% of his two companies‘ shares.
He had no choice but to take Gilmore seriously.
Rubus didn’t choose to use force to get rid of Gilmore because he didn’t know all of Gilmore’s secrets.
However, he knew that anyone who could make the Cuevas family, a part of the Gold Families, give up a hundred–billion- dollar fortune and leave Newville, was not someone to be trifled with
Even Rubus, a business tycoon, had to think twice before taking any actions against Gilmore.
Rubus knew that the Cuevas family had a Martial God, Martial King, and numerous Grandmasters. However, the fact that the Cuevas family ended up in such a state showed that Gilmore’s methods were even more formidable than the Cuevas family’s.
Therefore, Rubus understood that dealing with someone as difficult as Gilmore was not something to be reckless about and didn’t want to resort to using force.
He hoped that after meeting Gilmore tonight, they could come to a satisfactory agreement.
It was already 8 in the evening.
Gilmore, Claire, and the other three were drinking coffee and chatting in the living room.
Just then, someone walked in from the outside gate.
Ilyas Spencer.
He said to Gilmore, Mr. Reed, a Rolls–Royce has arrived at the villa gate.
“The driver says that Rubus wants to see you”
Claire and the other three women were all surprised.

Chapter 645
They had done their research on the Mewcourt business world and knew that Rubus was one of the top ten moguls in Mescom who was rich enough to be behind Kenda Company and Danald Company
Now he wanted to pay a vish to Gilmore.
Clare and the other three women were naturally shocked
However, Gilmore’s face remained calm, as if he had expected Robus to visit him
Spencer, allow Mr. Vergil to come in Calmore said to Spencer
“Yes. Mr. Reed Spencer replied before leaving the living room
Claire and the other three were curious to know why Rulnis wanted to visit Gilmore
But they didn’t ask and instead said. “You have a guest. Well go upstairs first
However, Gilmore stopped them and
lon’t have to leave. Just stay here”
Speaking of this Gilmore looked at Claire and said, “Did you forget that I told you about the plan for you to become the CEO of Kenda Company and Danald Company?
“Look, the boss of both companies are here, and this matter is about to be finalized,”
Claire and the other three were once again taken aback.
They thought, “Rubus visiting is to appoint Claire as the CEO of Kenda Company and Danald Company
But aren’t there already CEOs named Sterne and Ogden for these two international giants?”
The four of them were really confused, completely puzzled by Gilmore’s words.
However, they also knew Gilmore well enough not to use such matters as jokes.
Despite the many doubts in their minds, they still followed Gilmore’s lead and stayed in the living room. Meanwhile, outside the manor, the sound of a car could be heard, followed by Spencer’s voice saying. “Mr. Vergil, please
Then, Spencer led Kubus, along with Jo, into the living room.
Gilmore stood up from his seat with a smile on his face and said to Rubus, “Mr. Vergil, welcome!”
He extended his hand to shake hands with Rubus, who also smiled and shook hands, saying, “Mr. Reed, I apologize for the
Gilmore smiled and said, “Mr. Vergil, please have a seat
Kubus then sat down on the sofa, and Gilmore introduced Claire and the other three to kubus.
Rubus nodded in acknowledgment to the four women
Gilmore asked Spencer to make a cup of coffee for Rubus
Then, Gilmore looked at Rubus and said. ‘Mr. Vergil, you have come here tonight. Is there something important you want to
