Julian’s gaze was sharp and intense. He assured Graham, “You can rest easy. With me and the martialists from Star Gate here, the Wyatt family wouldn’t dare touch the Field family”

Graham nodded in agreement.

it was true.

family.

With the martialists from Star Gate having arrived, Graham felt that he had the backbone to confront the Wyatt Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

He instructed Murdoch, “Let them in.”

“Yes, Mr. Field,” replied Murdoch, stepping out of the villa.

In a short while, he returned, leading two men into the room.

These men were none other than Benny and Bob

Even though Benny entered the living room, Graham didn’t stand up to greet him. There was no smile on his face. In a neutral tone, he remarked, “Ah. Mr. Wyatt and Bob gracing us with their presence–such a rare occurrence!”

Benny noticed Graham’s noticeable coldness, which raised alarm bells in his mind.

Trying to brush off the apparent slight, Benny forced a smile, saying awkwardly, “You’re too kind, Mr. Field”

Without waiting for an invitation, he seated himself on a couch. His gaze quickly landed on Helene, as he tried to butter her up. “Helene, we meet again.”

Helene’s expression turned icy in an instant. She shot back, “Do we know each other that well?

“And for your information, I have a boyfriend. Show some respect when you’re in front of mer

Helene had been irked by Benny’s sleazy advances for a while.

She might have tolerated him before, but now things were different. With Gilmore, the man she cared for, sitting right next to her, she could no longer tolerate Benny acting like they were close.

The last thing she wanted was for Gilmore to get the wrong idea.

“Your boyfriend?” Benny echoed, his gaze instinctively shifting to Gilmore.

After all, Gilmore was seated right next to Helene, making the connection rather obvious

Seeing Benny’s gaze on him, Gilmore, ever the picture of harmlessness, smiled and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Wyatt. Yes, I’m Helene’s boyfriend, Gilmore.”

Hearing Gilmore’s confirmation, a glint of joy subtly flashed in Graham’s eyes as he sat on the living room couch.

“So, Gilmore is fond of my daughter,” he thought.

The idea solidified in his mind that Gilmore might very well become his future son–in–law.

To Benny’s surprise. Helene’s boyfriend was actually smiling at him.

This is unexpected,” he mused

Ordinarily, given his advances on Helene, Gilmore should be displaying anger.

“This guy seems a bit thueless. Benny thought.

An idea be

to form in Benny’s mind. He quickly put on a gracious smile and said, “Ah, Gilmore, nice to meet you.”

He then extended his hand toward Gilmore.

Helene, Graham, and Julian almost did a double–take.

“Aren’t these two supposed to be adversaries!

“Why are they now exchanging pleasantries and handshakes?

“Did they grab the wrong script or something?” they each wondered.

As the trio looked on in confusion, Gilmore already extended his hand, shaking Benny’s with a friendly grip. “Nice to meet you, too. Mr. Wyatt

“If you’re Helene’s boyfriend, then surely we can be friends, right?” Benny proposed.

“Of course, I’d love to be friends with you, Mr. Wyatt, Gilmore responded cheerily.

Helene, Graham, and Julian were all left flabbergasted, their expressions akin to being caught in a gust of wind.

“I know of a lively bar in Vista Verde. How about we head there some evening for a good drink?” Benny suggested

“No problem,” Gilmore replied amiably. “Whenever you suggest, I’ll be there.”

“Alright, Gilmore, could I perhaps have your number? I’d like to invite you for a drink.”

“I’ll give you my number right now,” replied Gilmore, promptly taking out his phone and sharing his contact details.

As Benny saved the number to his phone, a smirk crossed his face. Just as I thought, he mused.

“This Gilmore is such a fool!

“With a bit of feigned camaraderie, he genuinely believes that I consider him a friend.

“I’ll find an opportunity to call him and go to a bar and show him what’s what!”

After exchanging pleasantries, Benny stood up and addressed Graham, “Mr. Field, the reason for my visit today is that my father wanted to inquire about the new CBD project. Are you continuing with the bid?”

A smile spread across Graham’s face. “Benny, since your father asked, I’ll be upfront: I’ve already submitted our bid for the new CBD project.

“Furthermore, the city council won’t allow me to withdraw it. They hope I’ll participate in a fair bidding process

“So, I have no choice but to continue with the bid.”

Benny nodded understandingly. “I see, Mr. Field. I should be on my way then.”

But before leaving, he flashed a smile at Gilmore and waved, “Gilmore, I’ll call you for that drink, okay?”

Gilmore responded–with a grin, “No problem, I’ll await your call

As the sound of a car engine faded, Helene couldn’t contain her exasperation any longer. “Gilmore, Benny’s intentions aren’t pure. Why did you give him your mumber and even agree to have a drink with him?”

Graham, too, was puzzled by it.

But he believed in Gilmore’s intelligence and doubted he’d miss Benny’s ulterior motives.

With a calm demeanor, Gilmore responded, “He thinks I’m easy to manipulate and will fall right into his trap, doesn’t he?

“I’ll play along and give him a show. I’m curious to know what kind of schemes he’s planning against me.”

At that, both Graham’s and Helene’s eyes lit up with surprise and relief.

In other words, Gilmore was just playing along with Benny,

He had long noticed that Benny was up to no good.

Helene then realized that her worries were unfounded.

“So, if Benny invites you out for a drink, will you go?” she asked Gilmore, concern evident in her voice. Withour missing a beat, Gilmore replied, “If someone’s treating, why shouldn’t I go?”

“But what if Benny sets a trap? What if he gets the martialists of the Wyatt family to go after you?”

“What can I do? Fight them off, Gilmore said with a nonchalant shrug.

Helene remembered how Gilmore had easily defeated the martialists sent by Clinton earlier.

His confidence against the martialists of the Wyatt family seemed justified.

At that moment, Julian turned to Gilmore, asking, “Mr. Reed, do you practice martial arts?”

Gilmore affirmed, “A bit, yes. Just the basics.”

“Although you’re skilled,” Julian began, “the Wyatt family has strong ties with Blade Gate. For safety’s sake, it might be wise to avoid drinking with Benny.

“But if you insist on going, you should bring along a few martialists from Star Gate. They’ll ensure you’re safety.”

Though Gilmore found the concern to be excessive, he simply nodded in acknowledgment, not wanting to argue

“Gilmore, Julian has a point,” Graham chimed in with a solemn tone. “Once Benny returns and James finds out that I won’t back down from the CBD project bid, they might plot against us.

“So Benny’s invitation might be a part of their ploy.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Field, Gilmore reassured, “I’ll be cautious.”

Meanwhile, Benny and Bob’s luxury car, escorted by two vehicles full of bodyguards, pulled into the mansion.

They parked in front of a grand villa, whose courtyard was vast, almost like a plaza. Apart from Benny’s car, there were around 20 or 30 luxury vehicles of various brands.

Stepping out, Benny mused aloud, looking at the array of cars, “Why are there so many cars in the courtyard? Do we have

Guests?

“Mr. Wyatt,” Bob began, approaching Benny, “these cars likely belong to your brother and Miss Gellar from Blade Gate, along with her entourage of martialists.”

Benny’s eyes lit up, excitement evident on his face. “Bob, are you saying my brother’s back?”
