He widened his eyes in rage looking the a ferocious beast wanting to eat its peey.

Andy Network Peng Media and Virtual Voice all reported on it
To folished Benjamin thought
Those major media outlets reports would destroy Gastronova Ventures reputation
His two uncles would definitely berate and criticize him in front of his grandfather
He would probably be expelled from his family
How did this even happen? Benjamin gritted his teeth as he red at Carol
Carol was intimidated by the ghastly expression on Benjamin’s face. “Mr. Palmer. I don’t know. The
chefs of Evermore Diner took our bribe and promised to help in out with this.”
fice then thought of something “I got it now! It must’ve been the Evermore Group. They put on a
show and waited for us to

Benjamin cenched his fists, his ackles turning white. A murderous fire was burning in his eyes when
he looked at Carol
He wondered. “Why didn’t she think of that yesterday?
She could se presented all these things from happening”

“Get can” Benjamin Tared at Carol, pointing at the door.
His brinal roar seared Carol
Her face turned pale in trepidation. Then, she stumbled out of the office.
Benjamin was then left alone in the spacious office.
He copsed on the chair in despair, as if he had lost his soul.
Just then, his phone rang.

He grabbed it and stared nkly at the screen.
Looking at the unfamiliar caller ID, he picked up the phone numbly. “Hello, who is this…”
“Mr. Palmer, long time no talk,” a voice sounded from the phone, taunting him.
It took Benjamin a second to recognize the voice. After figuring out who it was, his body stiffened in
the chair. “Gilmore Reed!” he growled into the phone.
“Yes, this is Gilmore Reed. And you must be very desperate right now, aren’t you?”
A fierce glint shed across Benjamin’s eyes as he snapped. “You bought off those chefs at a
higher price, didn’t you?”
“No, they didn’t help you because they have a good conscience. You dug your own grave,” said
Gilmore.
“Oh, really? Gilmore Reed, do you have any evidence that can prove I did it? The waiter is from
Evermore Diner. Don’t think you can pin that on me.”
Benjamin sneered.
He didn’t think he had left any evidence that could lead back to him.
He had never met those chefs of Evermore Diner in person.
Even if Winona ratted him out, there was no evidence to prove that he was the mastermind behind
all of it.
Also, Winona was now an employee at Evermore Diner,
Although his n had failed, Benjamin still felt he could get away unscathed.
“Mr. Palmer, you sound pretty confident. Have you checked the news? Just turn on the TV. Any
channel. They are reporting your ‘brilliant deed right now.”
Gilmore chuckled. “With such a stain on Gastronova Ventures‘ reputation, do you think you can
keep your position when your grandpa sees the news?”
Benjamin’s face darkened when he heard that, and he replied angrily, “Gilmore Reed, if you think
you can scare me, think again.”
“Well then, I’ll leave you to get on with it.” With that, Gilmore hung up.
Benjamin threw his phone onto the desk and immediately turned on the TV in his office.
The channel was ying local news.
The news reporter was standing in the dining area of Evermore Diner, saying to the camera, “In

Gastronova Ventures was also finished
