Chapter 92
Gilmore and Claire sat on the sofa in the office. Irene left the office after serving them two cups of coffee,
“Gilmore, you were right. The of rustic food with natural healthcare is very popular. We’ve succeeded!” Claire said happily. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But Gilmore shook his head and said, “This is just the beginning We still have a lot of work to do. We’ll have succeeded once we’ve opened up branches of your restaurant all over the city”
“Well, that’s why I invited you to come here today. We’re going to open a branch now,” Claire said.
She got up, took a tablet from the desk, and sat next to Gilmore She tapped on the Map app.
Tve sent someone to look into and choose the location of our branch in Oakhaven. I’ve been to the places they found to check them out. They’re all good options with regard to location and popularity.”
Gilmore said, “Well, it’s up to you. Whichever location you choose is fine.”
“But there’s a problem. The location I’ve chosen is surrounded by hotels and fast–food places that are part of Gastronova Ventures. Our branch would have to deal with strong competitive pressure.” Claire shared her concerns
Gilmore had already looked into the background of Gastronova Ventures. It was an enterprise under the name of the Palmer family. What a coincidence. There had been some bad feelings between him and the Palmers.
Moreover, it was the largest restaurant group in Oakhaven with a market value of billions.
Gilmore was facing an inevitable commercial war against Gastronova Ventures since he decided to brand Evermore Diner and open its branches in every commercial plaza in Oakhaven.
They held grudges against each other, so the war would be more intense.
Gilmore was not afraid of the market competition he would face from the Palmers.
According to his God’s Eye, Castronova Ventures would be defeated by Claire’s natural healthcare restaurant and eventually close down.
The Palmer family, a top–ranked wealthy family, would decline after that
Gilmore had implemented the natural healthcare restaurant in advance so the Palmers would collapse faster.
Gilmore said firmly to Claire, “Our Evermore Diner will defeat Gastronova Ventures.”
Claire did not like the Palmer family in the first place, so she agreed.
She nodded at Gilmore with confidence and determination in her eyes.
Then, she started to talk about preparations for opening a branch. “If we’re going to expand the business, there will be dozens of branches. At that time, we’ll need capable ingredients suppliers who are able to handle the logistics and hundreds of cooks who can prepare the rustic food
Gilmore nodded and said, “You can just focus on opening the branch. I’ll take care of all these things related to the suppliers and employees.”
Claire was curious inwardly. She thought, “Is he capable of ensuring that we can get such a huge amount of ingredients? Also, where is he going to find hundreds of qualified cooks?”
But she trusted Gilmore without asking any questions. He was a man who stuck to his word.

Chapter 92
The popularity of Evermore, Diner proved Gilmore’s strength.
That night, they talked about many plans for Evermore Diner.
At the same time, in the Palmer family’s manor, Benjamin sat on the sofa in the living room, watching a video that recently went viral on his phone.
This video was of Denton and Claire munching on food in Evermore Diner.
After watching the video, Benjamin frowned slightly. He looked at his father, Wallace Palmer, who was sitting on another sofa, and asked in confusion. “Dad, why do you think Mr. Carter ate in that restaurant? And how come his video is posted all over the Internet?”
“That’s Claire’s hype. I heard that this restaurant belongs to her and Gilmore’s parents, Wallace answered indifferently.
“It’s pretty shameful of her to use her grandfather just to hype up the restaurant.”
Benjamin was still confused and asked, “Why do you think Claire chose the catering industry? How much can this small restaurant profit?”
“I believe she did it to form a stronger bond with Gilmore. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they set up a profitable company? Of course, Gilitiore can only manage a small restaurant with his poor strength,” Wallace said disdainfully.
Benjamin nodded in agreement. That makes sense. I heard that Mr. Carter canceled the engagement between us, but Claire’s finances are still under his control.”
She can’t use the funds of the Carter family unlimitedly unless she managed to do a good job in the Newhaven Commercial Plaza project. But it’s quite impossible because the performance of Newhaven Commercial Plaza has barely increased in the past six months,” he continued.
“If Claire fails to meet the requirements, Mr. Carter would suggest we get married again.
“She can’t improve the performance by running a restaurant, but Gilmore’s efforts could be seen. After all, she wants Mr. Carter to approve of Gilmore.”
“Well, I feel sorry for her because what she wants won’t happen Wallace sneered. The small restaurant will not improve her performance, and Gilmore is not businessman material.”
Benjamin pondered for a while and thought of something, then said to his father, “Dad, I have an idea. Why don’t we buy Gilmore’s shares of Evermore Diner?”
“Then, I’ll be Claire’s business partner in the restaurant, not Gilmore.”
Wallace’s eyes lit up when he heard that! It was a good idea!
The reason Gilmore and Claire were running Evermore Diner was because of their relationship. If Benjamin took over Gilmore’s position, Claire would pay more attention to Benjamin.
Then Benjamin could also use this restaurant to bond with Claire.
But Wallace suddenly frowned with concern. T’m afraid Gilmore won’t sell his shares to you.”
Benjamin confidently comforted him. “Don’t forget, money talks, I don’t believe he won’t sell out for a high price.
“And even if he won’t, his parents would be glad to.”
Wallace nodded. “Alright, send someone to buy Evermore Diner tomorrow. Let’s throw money at it.”
He did not care about money because money was insignificant compared with the fortune of the Carter family and the

King’s Treasure Map.
The next morning, Gilmore took his parents to Evermore Diner in his Mercedes.
As soon as they arrived, Gilmore noticed a luxury car parked in front of the restaurant.
He wondered who the owner of that luxury car was.
He and his parents alighted from the car and were about to enter the restaurant. Just then, the door of the luxury car opened. and three people got out. One of them was Benjamin.
Of the other two, one was a middle–aged office lady, and the other was a young man with a briefcase in his hand, wearing a suit and glasses.
“Gilmore, good morning!” Benjamin smirked and greeted him.
Gilmore did not expect to find out that Benjamin was in that car
“When you see this guy, nothing good ever comes from it,” Gilmore thought to himself.
He said to his parents. “Mom, Dad, leave me to him.”
His parents recognized Benjamin, who had a conflict with their son in the restaurant the other day.
They wondered what he wanted this time.
They did not like him, but they entered Evermore Diner as their son advised.
Gilmore then looked at Benjamin and said, “Look who we have over here! What can I do for you, Mr. Palmer?”
“Big business, my friend! I’ve already reserved a room at Everleigh Restaurant, how about joining me there? Let’s drink and have a talk, Benjamin said.
Gilmore was intrigued by what trick this guy was trying to pull, so he shrugged and said, “Sure, at least I’ll get a free meal out of it.”
