SWNOVELS Chapter Making 73
Chapter 73
A gorgeous Rolls–Royce pulled up in a parking lot in Newhaven Commercial Plaza.
A handsome man who was dressed in a black fancy suit and a white Versace shirt was on the phone in the car.
The man was about 30 years old, with strongly marked features. People could tell from his aura that he was powerful and influential
He was the eldest son in the Palmer family, Benjamin Paliner.
And the Palmer family was one of the most prosperous families of great influence in Oakhaven.
And Benjamin was the most favored successor who was trained well by the Palmer family!
“Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off… Benjamin couldn’t help frown when he heard it.
His expression was cold with anger in his
eyes
An oppressive and terrifying aura hung over the car.
Sitting on the leather seat opposite him was an old man in grey whose breath was stable and eyes were slightly closed. His hair was also grey.
If Gilmore was here, he would immediately recognize the old man, who worked for the Chapmans before, Marlon Salazar.
“Mr. Palmer, didn’t Miss Carter answer your call?” Marlon looked at Benjamin and asked.
Benjamin hung up the phone. He didn’t answer him directly. Instead, he said, “Mr. Salazar, let’s go to have a meal.”
That’s right, Marlon was Benjamin’s butler now,
“Yes, Mr. Palmer,” said Marlon.
Benjamin glanced at the red Ferrari which was not far away from them and said to the driver sitting in front of him, “Marco, stay here and keep an eye on Claire’s Ferrari”
“If she comes here to drive the car or leaves with someone else, all me immediately.”
“Aye, sir.” The driver in the front of the car responded at once.
He was Marco Chapman.
Ever since his parents were arrested, Marco had been an outcast and lived in poverty because of the downfall of the Chapman family.
It was torture for him, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, to experience such privation
Therefore, he pinned his hopes on his wealthy friends.
He was busy running around for money, hoping that they could help him make a resurgence.
However, he sooirrealized the inconstancy of human relationships and the vicissitudes of life.
Before the downfall of the Chapmans, he was the scion of an aristocratic family with many friends surrounding him.
However, the decline and collapse of the Chapman family made him lose everything and become homeless. His rich friends all tended to steer clear of him, not to mention lending him money.
Chapter 73
No one offered him a helping hand.
When Marco was in desperation, he met Benjamin.
He saved Marco, gave him something to eat, and let Marco become his chauffeur.
As for Marlon, he was Benjamin’s butler now.
Not only had Benjamin offered Marco a job, but he also promised to help him rise from the ashes. Marco was grateful to
him
Marco regarded Benjamin as his benefactor.
Benjamin and Marlon got out of the car and walked towards the lift in the underground carpark.
On the fifth floor in Commercial Plaza, Everleigh Restaurant.
Gilmore, Claire, and the rest had already sat at a table.
The female manager of the restaurant, who was about 30 and was in a decent suit, came over and said to Claire with a warm smile, “Miss. Carter, you haven’t come here for a few days. What would you like to eat today?”
As the president of the Commercial Plaza, there was no doubt that Claire was served by the manager of the restaurant.
Claire picked up the menu and said to the female manager, “Please let me read the menu first.”
The female manager nodded.
When Claire was reading the menu, the female manager did not forget to greet Gilmore, Gerald and the others. She said. “Welcome, Miss. Carter’s friends, this is your first time here, isn’t it?”
Gilmore and Gerald nodded, “Yes”
“Welcome. Do you prefer light food or spicy food?” The manager asked very considerately.
Both Gilmore and Gerald said, “Light food.”
She then asked for Gilmore’s parents‘ and Irene’s opinions.
Like Gerald and Gilmore, they also preferred light food.
Thereupon, the manager opened the menu and began to recommend Gerald and Gilmore some dishes.
Just as the manager was introducing the dishes to Gilmore and the others, two men walked into the hall of Everleigh Restaurant.
“Welcome!” The two waitresses standing at the door immediately bowed slightly and greeted them.
The guests walking into the hall of Everleigh Restaurant were Benjamin and Marlon.
“A table for how many, sir?” A waitress asked Benjamin courteously.
However, Benjamin ignored her and looked in the direction of Claire, who was reading the menu beside Gilmore.
Then he walked towards Claire with angry and jealous gleams in his eyes.
The waitresses were puzzled, “What a strange man!”
With the manager’s recommendation and introduction, Gerald, Gilmore, and the others ordered several dishes.

Meanwhile, Claire also finished reading the menu and let the manager take her order.

The entered the names of the dishes in her PDA and exchanged some usual greetings with Claire, Gilmore, and the others. Then she left.
Claire held up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of water for Gilmore’s parents. She smiled and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Reed, please have some water!”
Claire gained more favor from Gilmore’s parents now. They nodded and said. “That’s very kind of you, Miss Carter.”
“What a coincidence! I wasn’t expecting to see you here, Claire. Just then, a man said in a gentle voice.
As soon as Gilmore heard the voice, he knew that it was the man who called Claire before.
He looked up and saw Benjamin, who was dressed in a nice suit with an extraordinary bearing
However, the person that he was more concerned about was Marlon, who was at Benjamin’s side.
Gerald also recognized Marlon.
Although Marlon’s face was covered by a black mask when they battled each other at that time.
He could still tell from the fierceness in his eyes and his imperturbable aura that the man was Marlon.
However, Gerald didn’t care about it.
After all, the Chapman family had already declined and collapsed.
The reason why Marlon was by Benjamin’s side was that he served to a new master now.
As long as he didn’t do anything to provoke Gilmore, Gerald wouldn’t give a shit about him.
This was exactly what Gilmore was thinking.
Therefore, Gilmore’s expression was still calm when he saw Marlon.
Claire was also indifferent when she saw Benjamin. She just looked at him and said, “What’s wrong? Mr. Palmer?”
Although Claire was very indifferent, Benjamin still kept his composure well
He said with a smile, “Why didn’t you answer my phone before! just want to invite you to have a meal with me.”
Claire made a pathetic attempt to smile and said, “Mr. Palmer, I’m sorry. My boyfriend just told you the reason on the phone.”
“As you can see, I’m having dinner with my boyfriend and his parents. Can you leave now?”
Indifference, impatient, and she was even unwilling to talk too much to him.
It was Claire’s attitude towards Benjamin.
Benjamin’s gaze settled on Gilmore’s face and asked, “Are you her boyfriend?”
His intuition told him that Gilmore was Claire’s boyfriend, not Gerald.
Gilmore nodded, “Yes, I am Claire’s boyfriend.”
