Making 74
Benjamin looked at Claire and asked with a smile, “Is this another shield you’ve found yourself?”
A shield?
Gilmore, Gerald, and the others were puzzled.
What did he mean by that?
Claire la
laughed coldly and said, “Benjamin, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Gilmore is not a shield. He is my boyfriend.
“Even if I need a shield, you’re not qualified. I don’t have the slightest interest in you.”
Benjamin’s expression changed. It could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
He fought back his rage, looked at Claire, arid said, “Claire, give up your pointless fight!
“Your marriage is not decided by you.
“No matter what you do, you can’t change your fate of marrying me.
Haven’t you realized it from Brandon Wilson’s failure?”
At that point, Gilmore came to understand what the shield mentioned by Benjamin meant..
It was equal to a “boyfriend“. Christine had used the same tactics to turn down Marco.
Gilmore couldn’t help laughing at himself inwardly, “It looks like I’m becoming the shield for every woman. Call me the best actor of boyfriends.”
On top of that, he could tell from Benjamin’s words that their families were planning to connect through marriage.
The marriage partner the Carter family had found for Claire was Benjamin.
But it looked like Claire didn’t like the arrangement, and she was disgusted with Benjamin.
Gilmore figured it and understood why Claire had given Benjamin a cold shoulder.
“Benjamin, are you jealous of Brandon?” Benjamin’s ridicule didn’t annoy Claire but made her laugh, “You should be. Even a jerk like Brandon could be my boyfriend. Such failure should be frustrating.
“I also find you disappointing and pathetic. The cause of the whole thing is that I don’t like you
Benjamin shrugged with her palms up and looked sympathetically at Benjamin.
Benjamin’s face clouded over. He was about to flare up. Everyone could feel the suppression from him.
Just as he was about to go berserk, Benjamin surprisingly fought back his rage and regained his composure
The tension also disappeared.
Benjamin looked coldly at Claire and said, “Claire, don’t get cocky. One day, you will be my woman and yield to me.”

“Mr. Palmer, I’m afraid your wish will fall flat. Claire will be my woman rather than yours. She doesn’t need to yield to me, and I will pamper her. Call me a simpl” As a professional shield and the best actor of boyfriends, Gilmore certainly would not let Benjamin bully Claire. He stood up for her and dissed Benjamin.
Benjamin’s eyes flickered with rage, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
Claire could give him attitude or mock him.
That was because Claire was the daughter of a rich family and the marriage partner of the Palmer family. She would be his
wife.
Who was Gilmore?
An insect in his eyes.
Gilmore was bold to confront him!
Benjamin was exasperated.
This time, he showed murderous intent instead of stifling rage.
Ruthless murderous intent!
Under such pressure, Gilmore didn’t even bat an eyelid.
After all, he processed unparalleled power. He could tread Benjamin underfoot without breaking a sweat.
He didn’t even need to make a move. Gerald was not weak either.
Try him.
“Mr. Palmer, let’s go for dinner. You don’t have to go down to his level.” Just now, Marlon narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully advised Benjamin.
Marlon reminded Benjamin because he had fought with Gerald.
He knew that Gerald’s skills could match his.
They didn’t have any advantage if they fought there and then..
With a scowl, Benjamin slowly loosened his fists.
Indeed, he shouldn’t have shown his murderous intent because of Gilmore.
This was a public occasion after all
His reputation would be damaged. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Benjamin slightly nodded, coldly turned around, and left the restaurant with Marlon.
Even after the man was gone, Claire still looked frosty.
Deep down, she was not mad but felt happy.
That was because Gilmore had dissed Benjamin and helped her vent her anger.
On top of that, he had told Benjamin that she was his woman and that he would pamper her
Claire found it sweet.
Back then, Gilmore saved her regardless of his own safety and demonstrated his business talent in the office. Just now, he had once again stood up for her and protected her.
Claire could not resist Gilmore’s charisma.
She had fallen for Gilmore.
Just then, the manager of the restaurant came with two waitresses.
The manager smiled at Claire, Gilmore, and the others, saying, “Miss. Carter, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Then from the hands of the waitresses, she took the trays and served the dishes.
In the end, the manager looked at Claire, Gilmore, and the others, adding, “Miss Carter, enjoy your meal!”
Claire nodded to the manager.
The manager smiled and left.
Claire turned to Gilmore’s parents and urged them, “Mr. and Mrs. Reed, try the dishes!”
Following that, she took the tablewares, picked up some food, and put them into the plates of Gilmore’s parents.
She served them like her own parents.
Irene was surprised to see Claire picking up dishes for Gilmore’s parents like their daughter–in– law!
Their vice president had never been so nice to a man before.
She was so respectful certainly because of Gilmore.
It looked like their vice president really liked Gilmore and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, otherwise, she wouldn’t have condescended like this.
Gerald glanced at Gilmore with admiration. Another filial girlfriend added to his harem!
Gerald thought about himself and sighed under his breath. One girlfriend after another came to Gilmore. When would he
have one?
More dishes were served by the waitresses. Gilmore, Claire, and the others also started eating joyfully.
The displeasure brought by Benjamin had long been forgotten.
After the meal, Gilmore and the others said goodbye to Claire and planned to go back.
Claire called out, “Gilmore, wait, I have something to tell you. I’ll ride you home after that.”
Gilmore had no idea what Claire was going to say. Nevertheless, he instructed Gerald, “Take my parents back first.”
Gerald nodded his head.
Claire instructed Irene, “See Mr. and Mrs. Reed off on behalf of me.”
“Yes, Miss Carter, Irene responded…..
She then saw Gilmore’s parents and Gerald out of the restaurant
Gilmore sat back in his seat, looked at Claire, and asked, “Claire, what is it?”
