Benjansin trose for a moment before looking up at Ms. Patterson and asking in confusion, ‘Ms.
Patterson, is the food in. Everineur Diner really that good?”
Ms. Patterson furrowed her brows as she replied, “Mr. Palmer, I did ask one of our people to order
some takenut from Evermore Diner. Although I don’t like this restaurant, I have to admit that the
taste of the food is truly addictive. Their ingredients are really fresh. I felt like I was rating vegetables
freshly plucked from a farm”
Benjamin’s eyes lit up when he heard her answer. “Ms. Patterson, it’s almost lunchtime now, Order
some takeout from Evermore Diner for me. Let’s see what’s so special about it?
Ms. Patterson nodded and dialed a number on her phone.

When the call got through, she said into the phone. “Order takedut from Evermore Diner and send it
directly to Mr. Palmer’s office. Now!”
With that, she hung up the phone.
“Mr. Palmer, I already sent people to handle it, she reported.
Benjamin nodded.
Benjamin nodded. Then, he gazed at her and asked, “Ms. Patterson, there isn’t any financial

A solemn look appeared on Ms. Patterson’s face as she said, “Mr. Palmer, although thepany
hasn’t encountered any financial crisis, we’ve lost too many customers and too much money. We’re
barely staying afloat. I haveid off some people in order to cut down ourbor costs. But if our

Benjamin’s face was ashen, his hands shaking a little.

His two uncles had been badmouthing him in front of his grandpa in the past month because of the
poor performance of the Castronova Ventures
They thought that Gastronova Ventures would be destroyed if Benjamin remained in the core
management position.
In order to retain his position as the sessor of the Palmer family, Benjamin promised his grandpa
that he would revert the performance to its original state and obliterate Evermore Diner in one
month.
Considering Castronova Ventures‘ outstanding performance under Benjamin’s leadership in the
past, Mr. Palmer chose to give him another chance.
Easier said than done!
If Benjamin really destroyed the family business, he would likely be expelled from the Palmer
family.
This realization caused him to panic.
He didn’t want that to happen.
When Benjamin looked at Ms. Patterson again, his eyes were sharp. “Ms. Patterson, do you know
how to bring our business back to life and make Evermore Diner suffer? If you help me defeat
Evermore Diner, I can give you 40% of my annual dividends from my family business.”
Ms. Patterson was utterly surprised.

Ms. Patterson replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Palmer. I will cover it up. I’ll make sure Castronova

Benjamin nodded with satisfaction. “Ms. Patterson, if it works, I’ll give you 40% of my annual

“Thanks in advancel” Ms. Paterson bowed at him.

Carol had ordered takeout from Evermore Diner. But the food had not been delivered yet.
He asked Carol, “Ms. Patterson, didn’t you send someone to buy food from Evermore Diner? Why
is it taking so long?”
“T’ll call him now” She fished out her phone from her pocket.
After hanging up, she turned to Benjamin and exined, “It’s lunchtime. There are too many diners
