Chapter 51
Gilmore respectfully greeted Peter, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Dunnel
When he was in high school, he had a good relationship with Robin, so he often went to Robin’s house and knew Peter.
Hearing Gilmore call him Mr. Dunne, Peter’s expression softened slightly, but his tone was still very serious. “Gilmore, did you hear what I just said! Did you participate in the beating?”
Gilmore did not deny, “I participated last night, but I did not beat up anyone. The one who beat them up was my friend. However, my friend did this because Kennard tried to rape my sister.”
Upon hearing these words, Gilmore’s parents’ faces turned to shock as they asked in unison, “Gilmore, are you telling the truth?”
Gilmore solemnly nodded his head.
They then looked at Everly.
An indignant look had appeared on Everly’s face so Gilmore’s parents knew that all of this was true.
They immediately walked to Everly and asked her worriedly, “Everly, did Kennard do anything to you?”
Everly shook her head gently and said, “My classmate handed me over to Kennard’s men in black after I got drunk. They wanted to send me to Kennard’s hotel room. My brother saved me in time, so I escaped from Kennard’s clutches.”
By now, Peter’s expression was extremely solemn. He naturally knew what Kennard was capable of.
It was just that Kennard, Brooke, and the others were indeed beaten up and made a police report, so he had to come to investigate.
Robin, who had just returned from the police academy, had felt that it was impossible for Gilmore to beat Kennard, so he came with them and asked Peter to investigate the fishy case thoroughly.
Peter listened to Gilmore’s words. Sure enough, things were not so simple.
“Gilmore, do you have any evidence to prove that Kennard intended to rape your sister?” Peter looked at Gilmore and asked
Gilmore took out his phone and turned on the video for Peter.
After watching the video, Peter frowned and said with authority, “Well, I’ll ask someone to investigate the female student named Rachel and Kennard now.
“But you and your sister will have to go back to the police station with us and cooperate with our investigation.”
Gilmore nodded. “Mr. Dunne, no problem”
Then, Peter looked at Cilmore and asked, “And your friend?” He was naturally talking about Gerald.
“He’s in the county. I’ll ask him to go to the police station,” said Gilmore.
The reason why Gerald wasn’t at Gilmore’s house was because Gilmore wanted to keep a low profile after he returned last night.
He had told Gerald to drive his Mercedes back to the Milky Way Hotel in Elmwood. At this moment, Gerald should still be sleeping in the hotel.

Peter nodded and said. “Yes”.
Then, the siblings walked out with the three policemen and into a police car.
Sophia and Harlan looked worriedly at their children.

Gilmore, on the other hand, looked relaxed and said to his parents, “Don’t worry, Dad and Mom. We’re just going to make a statement and cooperate with the investigation of Kennard.”
Hearing Gilmore’s words, his parents’ expressions eased up a little.
The police car started and left Springvale.
When they arrived at the police station, Peter asked Robin to take Gilmore and his sister to his office.
Then Peter ordered the other police officers in the bureau to gather Rachel, Brooke, and the two men in black.
As for Kennard, Peter did not immediately give the order to find him. He would gather all the evidence against Kennard before dealing with him once and for all.
Several police officers went out to complete the assignments while Peter returned to his office and closed the door.
Peter sat down on the chair behind his desk. He looked at Gilmore and Everly and said, “I believe you are innocent in this matter. I know that Kennard had done a lot of bad things in Elmwood. However, he was really c**g. Up until now, he hadn’t left behind any evidence for us to convict him of his crimes.
So he has remained at large. Although you recorded a video this time, Kennard was not present. What these two men in black and the female student said is not enough to convict Kennard”
Peter continued somewhat helplessly, “I hope to get stronger evidence from this female student, the two men in black, and Brooke to convict Kennard.”
“Mr. Dunne, I also have a case related to Kennard.” Suddenly, Gilmore spoke.
This made both father and son look at Gilmore in confusion.
Robin could not help asking, “Gilmore, is it your sister’s case that you want to report?”
After all, this case was reported by Kennard. Gilmore could also report it as a victim.
However, Gilmore shook his head and said, “I want to report another case. This case is a cold case that has not been solved for the past ten years in Elmwood, the disappearance of Richard McCann, an Elmwood High School teacher.”
Upon hearing Gilmore’s words, the father and son duo’s spirits were immediately lifted, their eyes burning with excitement.
The reason why their faces lit up was the disappearance of Richard, an Elmwood High School teacher, was a big case that caused a sensation in Elmwood ten years ago.
The reason why it was called a major case was that the high school wanted to rebuild the sports ground 10 years ago and Richard was the chief supervisor of the construction site but he suddenly disappeared.
Moreover, his disappearance was very strange. According to the witnesses, two hours before Richard went missing, they had chatted and drank tea with him.
But two hours later, Richard disappeared. From his relatives to the other teachers, no one could find him. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth,
There were all sorts of rumors. Some said that he had been murdered, and some said that he had been buried alive by evil people.

It had been ten years. The police had tried every means to find the missing Richard, but they had never found him.

Therefore, this disappearance case had become the biggest disappearance case in Elmwood, it was unsolved for the longest time and became a cold case with the most questions.
Therefore, when Peter and his son heard that Gilmore wanted to report on Richard’s disappearance, they couldn’t help getting excited.
Even Everly was surprised to hear her brother mention this case
“Gilmore, you just mentioned that the case you want to report is the missing person case of ten years ago, Richard?” Peter finally calmed down. He looked at Gilmore and asked for confirmation.
Gilmore nodded. “That’s right. The case I want to report is Richard’s disappearance. He didn’t go missing. He was killed.”
“Killed” Peter quickly asked, “Who killed Richard, where is his body now?”
Gilmore’s eyes flashed and he said, “The murderer is Kennard. Ten years ago, Richard, who supervised the reconstruction of the sports ground, found that the contractor, Kennard, was cutting corners on the materials used. The cost of reconstruction of the sports ground was also far beyond the original budget, so he threatened to report Kennard to his superior. Kennard was afraid that Richard would expose his crimes, so he killed him on a rainy night in the school sports ground.”
Peter seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden. He stood up from his chair, stared at Gilmore, and said. “You said that Richard was killed in the school sports ground by Kennard, then his body…
Yes, his body was buried under the sports ground.”
Peter, Robin, and Everly all let out a cry of extreme shock, “Ah!!

Chapter 52
Gilmore’s revelation completely shocked the father and son duo, and Everly.
Π
Of course, Peter was the Deputy Superintendent of the police station. As a police officer, evidence was everything. Without evidence, all statements could only be conjectures.
“Gilmore, there is indeed such a possibility, but when investigating cases, we need evidence… Peter looked at Gilmore with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Needless to say, he hoped that Gilmore also had evidence. Once there was evidence, it would prove Gilmore’s words to be
true.
Then, the truth of this ten-year-old cold case could be revealed. This was also what the police wanted to achieve.
Gilmore calmly looked at Peter and said, “Once, Brooke came to our restaurant. He drank too much and told us the truth about Richard’s disappearance.
He said that it rained heavily that night. Richard and Kennard had a dispute because he slacked off on the construction. Richard threatened to report to his superior so Kennard killed Richard in anger.
After killing Richard, Kennard wanted to destroy the body without a trace, so he drove an excavator in the rainy night and buried Richard’s body under the school’s grounds.”
At this point, Gilmore looked at both father and son and said, “At that time, Brooke was at the scene. He realized that this matter was no small matter. In order to provide himself some protection in the future, he secretly used his mobile phone and recorded a video of Kennard driving an excavator to bury Richard’s body. The video has always been in his house compiler in Springvale,
Of course, the specific clues that Gilmore had disclosed were not revealed by Brooke because he had drunk too much in their restaurant. It was because of Gilmore’s God’s Eye that he saw what happened in the past and all the details of the cold case ten years ago.
Therefore, he was well aware that Kennard had killed someone and buried the corpse under the playground.
Hearing Gilmore’s words, Peter’s eyes lit up. Gilmore’s clues were crucially important and useful.
So long as Brooke had kept the evidence of Kennard killing and burying the corpse, it would be a foregone conclusion to solve the case and arrest Kennard.
“This clue is very important. I’ll report this to the Superintendent immediately
He seemed a little emotional as he said to Gilmore. “You can leave first. Also, tell your friend not to come to the police station for the time being. I will inform you later.”
Needless to say, Peter had focused all his attention on Kennard and Richard’s disappearance case.
Gilmore nodded. “Then my sister and I will leave first, Mr. Dunne.”
Peter said to Robin, “Robin, take Gilmore and his sister back.”
Robinodded. “Yes, Dad.”
Robin and the siblings walked out of the police station and Robin drove them in his car.
The car drove to Springvale. While driving, Robin said to Gilmore, who was in the passenger seat, “Gilmore, if we can prove that Richard was murdered by the bully Kennard, it will shock Elmwood, and maybe even the entire Vine.”

Vane was where Elmwood was, and Oakhaven was the capital of Vane.
Gilmore confidently said, “It will definitely shake the entire town and even the entire Vane.”

According to Gilmore’s God’s Eye, the case of Richard being killed and buried in the school ground would only be solved by Peter two years later. After the case was resolved, it not only alarmed the entire Vane, but also the whole country.
Peter was praised because of this case. He was promoted three levels and became the Superintendent of Oakhaven Police Department.
Gilmore had revealed the clues of Richard’s disappearance to Peter in advance, using his God’s Eye. Therefore, the ten-year cold case of Richard’s disappearance was cracked in advance by two years. It could be said that Gilmore’s God’s Eye had changed the course of time somewhat.
Back at Evermore Diner in Springvale, Gilmore’s parents were relieved to see their children come back so soon.
On this day, Robin stayed in Springvale. The two old classmates naturally had a lot to talk about.
About two hours later, two police cars arrived at Springvale. Peter and several police officers got out of the cars. Two of the police officers escorted Brooke to his home.
Many villagers went to watch, including Gilmore’s mother, Soph.
A police officer took a laptop away from Brooke’s house.
Afterwards, Peter and the police officers boarded a police car and left Springvale.
The news of Brooke’s capture caused quite a stir in Springvale. However, almost all of the villagers were cheering for Brooke’s arrest.
Sophia happily told Gilmore and Robin everything when she returned, so Gilmore and Robin knew that Brooke had already confessed everything about the corpse on the school ground.
Robin left after having lunch at Gilmore’s place. He was in a hurry to go back and find out if Richard’s disappearance case was really as Gilmore said.
Not long after seeing Robin off, the sound of a motorcycle’s exhaust could be heard. Hearing that exhaust sd, Gilmore smiled. Gerald was back.
In the house, Everly curiously asked Gilmore, “Brother, judging from that exhaust, it seems to be our old and shabby motorcycle?”
“Well, it’s our motorcycle. Let me introduce you to a person.” Gilmore said to his sister.
Everly asked curiously, “Brother, who do you want me to meet?
“It was him last night, he was the one who saved you and taught Kennard a lesson.”…
As they spoke, the siblings came to the first floor.
Gerald had already sat down. Gilmore’s mother knew that he had not had lunch yet, so she brought him food.
At the moment, Gerald was eating a chicken drumstick in his hand with relish.
Gilmore and his sister walked over. Gilmore smiled and said, “Gerald, looks like your luck is really good, you get to eat a chicken drumstick the moment you return.”
As Gerald ate the drumstick, he said, “I beat Kennard for you and drove your motorcycle back. Shouldn’t I get to eat a drumstick?”

Gilmore and his sister both laughed.
Gilmore said, “You should. If it’s not enough, I’ll get Mother to add another drumstick for you.”
Gerald said. “That’s more like it.”
At this time, Gilmore introduced his sister to Gerald, “This is Gerald, he’s the one who saved you last night and taught Kennard a lesson.”

Everly bowed slightly to Gerald and said. “Gerald, thank you for saving me last night and helping me teach those bad people a lesson.”
Gerald hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Everly, you’re welcome. Speaking of which, I still have to rely on your brother to make a living. It’s my duty to save you and teach bad people a lesson.”
Everly was puzzled. How could this guy rely on my brother to make a living?
She could not help but ask Gilmore, “Brother, what does Gerald mean when he said he relies on you?”
Gilmore smiled and said, “He’s joking.”
Everly believed him and did not ask further.
That afternoon, Gilmore received a message from Robin. From the laptop the police took from Brooke’s house, they found evidence of Kennard’s murder and burial. The police had arrested Kennard.
In the evening, Gilmore saw the news of Richard’s disappearance appear on the Internet, across Twitter, forums, and other blogs.
News that the police had escorted Brooke back to Springvale and also arrested Kennard, who was a tyrant in Elmwood, could not be covered up. After all, in this era of Internet development, news spread easily.
In addition, Kennard was related to the disappearance of Richard, a ten-year-old cold case. Even if only some details were revealed, it immediately caused a sensation

Chapter 53
On the Internet, the news that the missing teacher, Richard, was killed and buried in a school ground ten years ago by the Elmwood bully, Kennard, quickly appeared on Twitter’s trending searches.
In two days, this piece of news became a hot topic for the entire Eldoria.
Media reporters from all over the country flocked to the Elmwood Police Department and Elmwood High School.
Hence, the police held a special press conference and answered some crucial questions, stating that they had arrested. Kennard and had evidence of Kennard killing Richard and burying his body. They also announced that they would excavate Richard’s body buried under the sports ground.
Two days after the press conference, the sports ground of Elmwood High School was sealed off to the public for the police to begin their excavation.
Later that day, the police dug up Richard’s body and held a press conference to make the announcement. They also began to arrest all suspects related to Richard’s murder.
The ten–year–old cold case of the missing Richard McCann was finally solved and the truth was revealed.
As for the bully Kennard and his gang that committed evil deeds they were all arrested and brought to justice.
Two months later, Kennard was sentenced to the death penalty. His gang members, Brooke and the others, were sentenced to various prison sentences for murder, bullying, causing hurt to others, and other crimes.
The bullies who had caused harm to the public were eliminated and all the people in Elmwood applauded.
On this day, in the Evermore Diner, Sophia and her husband, Harlan, were also wearing smiles.
During lunchtime, Sophia was in a good mood and made a sumptuous meal as if celebrating a holiday.
This surprised Gilmore and his sister when they came down for lunch
Everly asked her mother, “Mom, what’s the occasion today? Why is there so much food?”
“It might not be any occasion today, but it’s well worth celebrating. Our village bullies, Kennard, and Brooke arrested by the police. We finally don’t have to be bullied by those hoodlums anymore.” Sophia smiled.

At this point, Sophia smiled at her daughter. “Don’t worry, they won’t bother you anymore. You can focus on your studies
now.”
Everly nodded. Since the villains, Kennard and Brooke, were finally caught by the police, she could finally study in peace and not be harassed by Kennard.
Gilmore and his sister, his parents, and Gerald sat down at the table full of delicious dishes, and everyone began to eat happily. The sound of toasts and laughter rang out in the restaurant.
While they
walked in.
were eating, there was the sound of a car outside the door, and shortly after, a young man holding a briefcase
“Robin, you came at the right time. Come cat with us!” Gilmore recognized Robin and immediately greeted him warmly.
Yes, it was Robin who came in.
Robin said with a smile, “Since you’re eating so happily, I’ll join in the fun!”
Sophia immediately brought a stool for Robin and took out a new pair of tablewares. She said to Robin, “Robin, I’m so glad

you came. Otherwise, I’m afraid the dishes on this table won’t be finished.”
Robin said, “Mrs. Reed, don’t worry. I’ll help you finish the food.
Upon hearing that, everyone laughed.
At this time, Robin looked at Gilmore and said, “Gilmore, before attacking this table of delicious food, I have something important to tell you.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Robin and their expressions unconsciously became more serious.
Gilmore said, “Robin, what is it? Speak!”
Robin opened the briefcase on his knees and took out a very big envelope.
It looked as if there were two rectangular bricks protruding inside the envelope.
Robin placed the bulging envelope in an empty space on the table in front of Gilmore and said, “Gilmore, the truth of Richard’s death on the playground was revealed mainly due to the clues provided by you.
There is 40,000 thousand in the envelope. It was money offered by the police ten years ago as a reward for any major clues.
Originally, the police Superintendent and my dad were going to hand over the money to you in person, but Richard’s case was too big and had too great an impact. They are still busy with that work.
Moreover, they were afraid that they would bring trouble to you if they came, that reporters from all over the country would flock to you and affect your life.
So in order to protect your privacy as the informant, my dad asked me to give you the reward money,”
When Sophia and Harlan heard his words, they couldn’t hide their joy.
They just found out that Richard’s case was solved because of their son, who provided the police with important clues, and the police had rewarded their son 40,000 thousand
This was too glorious! They were both proud of what their son had done.
Although Gilmore did not lack the money, he had provided the police with important clues. He was indeed qualified to accept the 40,000 thousand.
“Okay, I’ll accept the reward.” Gilmore picked up the envelope and said to Robin.
After that, Gilmore handed the envelope to his mother and said, “Mom, this money is for you.”
Seeing that her son gave her his reward of 40,000 thousand, she couldn’t help feeling touched. She smiled with tears but she did not move to accept the envelope.
So Harlan touched her arm and said, “Why don’t you take the money?”
Sophia finally reacted and took the envelope from Gilmore. “So I’ll save this for you to use when you get married.”
“Mrs. Reed’s idea is good!” Robin cheered immediately.
Gerald chimed in, That’s right, that’s right. Gilmore should find himself a wife soon.”
Iyas Gilmore!
Then everyone began to eat enthusiastically again.

After lunch. Robin wanted to go back to Elmwood, so Gilmore went out to see him off.
Before getting in the car, Robin asked Gilmore, “Gilmore, do you know that Lilian is back?”

Of course Gilmore knew that Lilian had returned. Instead of answering Robin, he asked, “So what if Lilian returned?”
“Gilmore, do you really need to hide things from me? Others may not know that you like Lilian, but I know that you like her. I also know that Lilian likes you. Robin looked at Gilmore as a smile appeared on his face.
“Ian booked a private room at the Milky Way Hotel tonight. He invited Lilian and some of our high school classmates to dinner, including me. Don’t you want to see Lilian?”
Ian Thompson! This person was the monitor of Gilmore’s high school class, the son of the richest man in the county. He came from a wealthy family and had excellent grades, so he was also very proud.
This haughty class monitor had always been fond of Lilian
It was said that because Lilian applied for the Oakhaven Film Academy, lan applied there as well. His pursuit of Lilian could be said to be reckless and crazy.
Now that Lilian returned to Elmwood, Ian had also returned. Gilmore thought this was more than a coincidence.
Gilmore looked at Robin and said, “I’m afraid that if I go, I won’t be welcomed.”
Robin patted Gilmore on the shoulder and said, “You can be rest assured. This time, for fear that others would not know he’s invited Lilian to dinner, lan has invited all his old classmates, some of whom are specially coming from other places. He also asked me to help him summon our old classmates to attend.
At this point, Robin looked at Gilmore and worriedly said, “But Im afraid that if you go, you won’t feel good seeing lan and Lilian together.
Gilmore smiled faintly. “Robin, don’t worry about that. I will attend tonight’s dinner punctually
Robin was stunned, then he smiled and said, “The dinner party is at 8 o’clock tonight.”
Seeing that Gilmore had agreed to attend the dinner, Robin was very happy. He didn’t want Gilmore to give on Lilian just like that.

Chapter 54
Robin drove away, and Gilmore returned to the restaurant.
Seeing that his parents had already packed and wiped the table, Gilmore said to them, “Mom, Dad, I have something important to tell you”
Hearing that their son had something important to say, Sophia and Harlan sat down.
Earlier, because her son provided important clues to the police, Sophia had received his reward of 40,000 thousand, so in her opinion, what her son wanted to tell them must have something to do with Richard’s case and helping the police get rid of Kennard and his gang.
Like an attentive student, she looked at her son expectantly and said. “Son, what’s the important thing? Tell us!”
Seeing that his sister was not present, Gilmore shouted upwards to the second floor, “Everly, come down quickly. I have something to tell you.”
“Got it. I’ll be right down” Everly answered from upstairs.
After a while, Everly came down from the second floor. She looked at Gilmore and asked, “Brother, why are you looking for
Gilmore pointed at the stool and said, “Sit down. I’ll tell you slowly.”
Although Everly had doubts, she still sat down as asked.
Gilmore then looked at his parents and sister and said, “Mom, Dad, Everly, I want to take you to Oakhaven the next few days to settle down. What do you think?”
A few days ago, when he had told his parents that he was moving to Oakhaven, his parents had mistakenly thought that he wanted them to open a local restaurant in Oakhaven.
The appearance of Lance and his endless troublemaking had also given Gilmore no chance to tell his parents of his plan to move to Oakhaven.
Now that there was no one else to disturb them, Gilmore decided to seriously talk to them about moving.
Sophia and Harlan both smiled and said, “Gilmore, you mentioned Oakhaven before, and that it lacked local restaurants like ours. We are willing to try Oakhaven, so we have no objection to going there.”
Everly frowned and looked at Gilmore awkwardly. She said, “But how am I to attend school? I’m going to take the college
entrance examination soon.”
Gilmore said, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already found someone in Oakhaven to find you a famous high school that you can enroll in. You can continue to study in Oakhaven
If Everly left Elmwood High School for Oakhaven, the first thing she needed to figure out was where she would study. However, this was not a difficult problem for Gilmore.
He merely called David, and as soon as he finished speaking, the head of Oakhaven’s richest family immediately found a school for Everly, and it was even a famous high school that many rich people couldn’t enter.
Hearing that Gilmore had found a good school for herself in Oakhaven, Everly was happy and immediately said, “Then I am willing to go to Oakhaven with you.”
After all, Oakhaven
the capital. It was far more prosperous than Elmwood. Everly was definitely eager to go there,

“Well, since there is no problem, Everly and I will go to the school to complete the transfer procedure later. We will go to Oakhaven tomorrow.” Gilmore looked at his family and said.
Sophia, Harlan, and Everly had no objections.
Hence, not long after lunch. Gilmore took Everly to the county on his motorcycle to complete the transfer procedure.
Everly asked Gilmore many questions along the way to Oakhaven about her new high school. Of course, she also asked where there were good food and fun things in Oakhaven. She was as happy as a little girl.
By the time they completed the transfer procedures, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon.
Gilmore took Everly to the mall to buy some clothes and shoes she liked.
Because it was not easy for her parents to make money in their small restaurant, the sensible Everly did not use to buy many clothes and shoes. If she bought clothes and shoes, they were also relatively cheap.
Therefore, on this trip to Oakhaven, Gilmore bought good quality expensive clothes and shoes for her.
When Gilmore paid, Everly found out that her clothes and shoes cost more than 2000 dollars. She immediately pulled her brother to leave. This price was truly too expensive!
Gilmore pulled her back and then took out his bank card. He asked the cashier to complete the payment.
The well–dressed cashier handed the bank card and the receipt to Gilmore with a smile and said, “Sir, it’s 2000 dollars in total. This is your bank card. Please keep it well. We look forward to seeing you again.”
Gilmore took the bank card and the receipt and put them in his pocket.
Then, he said to Everly, who was still in a daze. “Let’s go!”
Only then did Everly come back to her senses. She carried the bags containing her clothes and shoes and followed Gilmore out of the mall.
As soon as they walked out of the mall, Everly couldn’t help but ask Gilmore, “Brother, why do you have so much money to buy me clothes and shoes?”
Gilmore said calmly, “I won the lottery. Come, we’ve walked for an afternoon, I’ll take you to my hotel room to rest.”
Gilmore looked at the time. It was already six o’clock in the evening and the sky was dark. He decided to take Everly to Milky Way Hotel to rest.
After hearing Gilmore’s words, Everly was even more shocked. Her brother had booked a room at Milky Way Hotel?
Milky Way Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Elmwood. It was also the only five–star hotel. Any room was worth at least a few hundred dollars a night.
It would take less than half an hour to get back to Springvale by car, so Everly didn’t understand why her brother wanted to book a room in Milky Way Hotel. It was such a waste.
Moreover, this kind of spendthrift behavior was not common ofher brother. Because their family was not very rich, she and her brother had always been frugal and had never spent money carelessly.
It was the first time that Everly had seen someone spending money as carelessly as Gilmore. Therefore, Everly couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, did you win a lot of money?”
Gilmore got on his motorcycle, started the engine, and answered casually, “Yes, a lot.”
Then, he said to Everly, “Quick, get on and grab onto my clothe
09:20 Mon, Aug 19.
Chapter 54
Everly was still wondering about what amount her brother was referring to. When she heard him ask her to get on the motorcycle, she quickly agreed, got on, and grabbed Gilmore’s clothes with one hand,
As the engine puffed, their motorcycle steered towards Milky Way Hotel.
Inside a luxurious hotel room
When Everly saw the luxurious hotel room her brother booked, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
Gilmore lay on Gerald’s bed. He pointed at his own bed and said to Everly, “I slept on that bed. You can sleep on mine first, and I’ll sleep on Gerald’s.”
Only then did Everly realize that the hotel room had not been booked earlier that day, but had been booked for some time.
But Gilmore had been staying in Springvale for the past few days so the hotel room was left empty. How much would that
cost? Chapter 55
In the largest room of Milky Way Hotel.
There were more than ten young people sitting around a huge round table, including Robin, Lilian, and Celia.
The young man sitting beside Lilian was especially eye-catching. He wore a suit and tie, and he was handsome.
This young man was lan
He invited Robin and his other old classmates to have a gathering.
In fact, he just wanted to see Lilian.
On the one hand, he wanted to invite Lilian to dinner and get closer to her.
On the other hand, he wanted to announce that his relationship with Lilian was special.
As a matter of fact, lan and Lilian were both studying at Oakhaven Film Academy. He did not have to take so much effort to get closer to Lilian.
However, even though they were in the same school, he rarely had the chance to meet her.
Apart from attending classes, Lilian also had to act. In addition, she deliberately kept a distance from lan
Therefore, at present, they were just ordinary friends.
Of course, lan would not say that
This was also the reason why he rushed back as soon as he heard that Lilian had returned to visit her grandma.
He wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Lilian and build a stronger relationship with her. Therefore, Ian had put a lot of effort into today’s party.
“Everyone is here. Ms. Catherine, we would like to order now, please.” Seeing that more than a dozen old classmates had arrived, lan said to the hotel manager next to him.
“Yes, sir.” Answered Ms. Catherine at once.
As the richest man in the county, lan often came to Milky Way Hotel for dinner. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the hotel manager.
Ms. Catherine handed over the menu to lan
lan took the menu and said to Lilian with a smile, “Lilian, would you like to order?”
He was telling Lilian how important she was to him.
Even Ms. Catherine could tell that lan liked this lady.
She smiled and said to Lilian, “Miss, Mr. Thompson is somewhat biased.”
Hearing the manager’s words, all the people present laughed.
In fact, they all knew what Ian wanted.
He wanted to show off he and Lilian’s relationship.
09:20 Mon, Aug 19
Chapter 55
Thus, they played along
Seeing the reaction of his classmates, Ian was very happy.
He looked at the manager and said, “Ms. Catherine, Lilian is the most important person in my heart. Of course, I should let her order first.”
Jan could not wait to confess his love to Lilian.
However, Lilian was not happy. On the contrary, she looked at lan calmly, and said, “Don’t mind me. You can ask others what they like to eat,”
Hearing this, Ian felt a little embarrassed.
Robin was disgusted with the way lan tried to please Lilian.
Seeing that Ian had failed, he was in a good mood.
He looked towards the door of the private room from time to time. “Why hadn’t Gilmore arrived yet? Robin thought.
He had told Gilmore to attend the dinner at 8 o’clock in the evening and sent him the room number on WhatsApp.
But he hadn’t come
He h
yet.
He began to worry if Gilmore was afraid.
At this time, lan had recovered from the embarrassment. Then he turned to his old classmates and said, “Everyone, order whatever you like!”
After that, lan said to the manager, “Ms. Catherine, please get everyone a menu.”
What? Get everyone a menu?
It was the first time that Ms. Catherine had seen such a situation.
However, there was an exception.
If it was someone else, Ms. Catherine would say that she didn’t have so many menus and ask them to order in turn
But lan was a special guest.
He was the richest man in the county, and his father was a friend of her boss.
Therefore, Ms. Catherine immediately said, “Please wait a minute. I’ll ask someone to bring some menus here.”
After that, she took out the walkie-talkie and said, “Bring eleven menus to No. I VIP room.”
“Roger that.” A girl’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.
The manager put down the walkie-talkie and said to lan with a smile, “Mr. Thompson, the menus will be sent here soon.”
fan nodded.
A minute later, a young
waitress came to the room with a dozen menus in her arms.
“Ms. Catherine, here are the menus you asked for. The waitress gasped and said.
M. Catherine then handed the menu to every guest at the table

Then she asked the waitress to leave.
Ian said to everyone, “You guys can tell Ms. Catherine what do you like to eat!”.
Everyone nodded.
However, when they fingered through the menu, they didn’t know what to order.
Although lan asked them to order whatever they liked, they couldn’t order expensive dishes, nor cheap ones.
They knew that the focus of the dinner was Lilian
What dishes she liked were the most important.
They were here to cooperate with lan. They would not steal his thunder.
Otherwise, lan would definitely resent them.
Therefore, although they were reading through the menu, no one ordered dishes.
This made Ms. Catherine, who was holding an ordering machine in her hand, feel a little awkward.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and someone walked into the room.
“I’m sorry. I’m late!”
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the person who spoke.
It was Gilmore!
Everyone immediately recognized him.
Lilian and Celia were both shocked. Why would Gilmore come here?
Moreover, the two girls also recognized Everly who was next to Calmore. She was the girl who was carried into the car by Gilmore at the door of the KTV last night.
Did Gilmore bring his girlfriend here to show off?
Celia seemed a little irked, while Lilian lower her head, as if nothing had happened.
Ian frowned. “Why did this poor boy come?”
The others also felt a little embarrassed, they knew that Gilmore and Lilian were deskmates.
Moreover, they also knew that Gilmore had a crush on Lilian.
No one knew what would happen.Chapter 56
“Gilmore, did you go to the wrong room?” Lan made a little fuss in a roundabout way.
When Gilmore heard that, he knew that lan did not want to see him at the dinner.
However, this was exactly what Gilmore wanted.
He smiled and said, “I heard that you invited our old classmate to dinner at Milky Way Hotel tonight, and I was lucky enough to be invited. So, I’m here.”
Ian smiled and shook his head. He said, Tm sorry, I didn’t invite you for dinner.”
“Ian, you asked me to invite as many classmates as possible, so I invited Gilmore. He was invited by me,” Robin said.
Ian looked at Robin angrily.
However, he did tell Robin to invite as many classmates as possible.
But he never thought that Robin would invite Gilmore.
“Ian, Gilmore is also our classmate.” At this time, Lilian looked at lan and said.
lan did not expect that Lilian would speak up for Gilmore.
This made him feel jealous.
He came to Oakhaven Film Academy in order to pursue Lilian, but she always kept a distance from him.
He asked her to order dishes just now, but she still refused.
But now, she spoke up for Gilmore.
She treated Gilmore better.
The others also felt Lilian’s concern for Gilmore.
Although lan was angry, he put on a smiling face and said to Lilian, “You’re right”
Then, he said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, please take a seat.”
Gilmore smiled and said, “Thank you, lan.”
At this time, Celia said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, don’t you want to introduce this beauty?”
As soon as Celia said this, lan and the others immediately looked at Everly.
They all secretly admired Everly’s beauty.
They were more or less jealous of Gilmore.
However, on second thought, Ian felt that the beautiful girl could be Gilmore’s girlfriend
If Lilian knew that Gilmore had a girlfriend, would she still like him?
Ian knew that after Lilian entered Oakhaven Film Academy, although she barely met Gilmore, she liked him
Today, if Gilmore brought a girlfriend, Lilian would definitely give up.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ian’s face. He said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, when did you get such a Why didn’t you tell us? Are you afraid that we would steal your girlfriend?
beautiful girlfriend?
He firmly believed that this girl was Gilmore’s girlfriend.
He wanted Lilian to give up.
When Everly heard lan say that she was Gilmore’s girlfriend, her face instantly flushed red and she was very embarrassed.
At this time, Robin said with a smile, “Tan, this is Gilmore’s younger sister, Everly
“Sister!” Ian and Celia said in surprise.
And Lilian, who was a little disappointed just now, was also happy.
She looked at Gilmore and Everly, feeling an indescribable joy in her heart.
“His girl is Gilmore’s sister, not his girlfriend. I misunderstood him last night.”
Gilmore looked at lan and Celia. In the end, his gaze settled on Lilian’s face. He said, “That’s right, she is my sister,”
It seemed that he was saying this to everyone.
However, when he spoke, he stared straight at Lilian. Everyone could clearly
At this time, Lilian also looked at him, and the two gazed at each other like lovers.
that he was saying this to Lilian
At this moment, the others all realized that the relationship between them was special.
They felt jealous
Jan saw that Gilmore and Lilian were looking at each other with love in their eyes. He was going crazy. He wished that Gilmore could disappear immediately.
“Well, since everyone is here, please order now.” Ms. Catherine had been in this private room for almost an hour. She was about to fall asleep.
She did not expect fan to be such a troublesome man.
He asked her to bring everyone a menu and then began to chat with others.
lan reacted and said, “That’s right, everyone, hurry up. Don’t let Ms. Catherine wait too long.”
Ms. Catherine smiled awkwardly. “It’s fine.”
lan ordered a few dishes, all of which were priced at two or three hundred dollars, which was quite expensive in a small county.
All the people present thought to themselves, “lan is indeed the richest man in the county. He is so generous!”
Of course, in their opinion, lan ordered such expensive dishes for the sake of entertaining Lilian
In other words, the only reason why they were able to enjoy such a sumptuous meal today was all thanks to Lilian
Seeing lan’s generosity, they each ordered a dish at a price of two or three hundred dollars.
Ms. Catherine was so happy to see that. It seemed that her hard work tonight was worthwhile. All the dishes ordered were expensive.

The meal was at least three or four thousand dollars.
Ms. Catherine entered the name of the dish with the ordering machine and asked, “Do you need anything else?”
Ian and the others all ordered, leaving Gilmore and Everly without ordering.

At that time, lan saw that Gilmore and his sister had not ordereil yet, so he intentionally showed his generosity in front of Lilian and said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, you and your sister haven’t ordered yet.”
Just
order whatever you want to have.”
Gilmore took a menu, looked at lan, and said, “Is that OK?”
I guess
you seldom eat in such a high-end hotel, poor boy.” Lan thought.
Although lan looked down on Gilmore in his heart, there was still a smile on his lips, “It’s OK, order whatever you want. I can afford it.”Chapter 57
“I’d like to order the sturgeon caviar (2000 dollars).”
“And 500 grams of white truffle (300 dollars per gram).”
“And five or six lobsters (about 200 dollars per catty).”
“And a bottle of Lafite (about 4000 dollars).”
Ian was dumbfounded.
The others were also shocked..
The reason why they were so shocked was that the dishes ordered by Gilmore were all rare and expensive food.
Sturgeon caviar, white truffle, lobster, Lafite….
Ms. Catherine didn’t expect that Gilmore ordered such expensive dishes
If the dishes ordered by lan and the others were expensive.
Compared to sturgeon caviar, white truffle, lobster, Lafite, they were not worth mentioning

Ian was very regretful. If he knew that Gilmore would order such expensive food, he would not let Gilmore order whatever he wanted to have.
He did not know how to get out of the embarrassing situation.
“Mr. Thompson, is that OK?” Ms. Catherine finally recovered herself and asked.
The reason why she asked lan was because even lan’s father, the richest man in the county, never ordered such expensive dishes.
The most expensive thing his father ordered was a bottle of Lafite.
So, she wanted to make sure that lan really wanted it.
ot sure if lan could afford it.
She was not
Ms. Catherine’s question made lan very embarrassed.
He wanted to say no, but he had already made promises.
He knew he could not afford it.
Although he was the son of the richest man in the county, his father has only about two or three-hundred million dollars.
And his father only gave him 2000 to 4000 dollars a month.
Compared to ordinary people, he was rich.
But he could not afford caviar and white truffle that only the super-rich can afford.
Seçing that lan did not speak, everyone knew that he could not afford such expensive food.
At this moment, Ms. Catherine

However, Gilmore didn’t change his idea. Instead, he looked at lalian, Robin, and the others, saying, “Have you guys eaten caviar and white truffle yet? Would you try some!”
The reason why he did not mention lobsters was that although lobsters were expensive, there were still many people who had eaten them.
“Of course we want to try some! The question is, can you afford it? Everyone thought in their hearts.
A blanket of silence descended.
Gilmore nodded and said, “So you guys haven’t tried these dished before, right?”
At this time, Celia said, “Gilmore, you know no one here can afford these dishes.”
Gilmore miled. “I just want you guys to have a taste of these dishes”
After that, Gilmore looked at Ms. Catherine and said, “You can go and prepare the dishes I ordered.”
Ms. Catherine thought that she had misheard and froze.
The other people in the room were also stunned.
Lilian roughly calculated that these dishes ordered by Gilmore would cost 160,000 dollars.
160,000 dollars for a meal!
She was ready to pay for this sumptuous meal.
As the rising star of Eldoria, she could afford it,
Jan turned pale. He wanted to know whether Gilmore would pay the bill or he would pay the bill.
He did not want to be a sucker.
So, at this time, lan swallowed his pride and said to Gilmore, “Gilmore, forgive me for being unable to pay for these dishes. I’m afraid you’ll have to…
Before he could finish, Gilmore said, “I’ll have to pay for it myself, right? It’s fine.”
After that, Gilmore took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Ms. Catherine and said, “It’s on me. Calculate how much these dishes cost in total and pay for them first.”
Seeing this, Ms. Catherine then realized that Gilmore was serious
Then, her eyes lit up and her fingers quickly entered the names of the dishes.

Within a moment or two,
She slowly raised her head and looked at Gilmore, saying, “160,000 dollars in total.”
“What?”
Everyone was in shock.
160,000 dollars was a fortune for them.
Only Lilian remained calm. Because she was ready to pay the bil
However, Everly could not stay calm anymore. When she heard that her brother would spend 100,000 dollars on a meal, the

first thing that came to her mind was that her brother didn’t have that much money.
Without so much money to pay, he was going to go to jail!
“Brother…” Everly nervously tugged on Gilmore’s shirt, almost crying
Gilmore knew what his sister was nervous about.
He smiled at Everly and said, “Don’t worry.”
After that, Gilmore said to Ms. Catherine, “Swipe my
card.
Ms. Catherine quickly nodded. “Yes, sir.”
She took the bank card from Gilmore’s hand and took out a POS machine. Then she swiped the bank card.
Then she handed the POS machine to Gilmore and said politely “Mr. Reed, key in the password, please.”
Gilmore then entered the password.
The sale was completed, and Ms. Catherine tore off the bill for Gilmore to sign.
Ms. Catherine, who got the bill, relaxed.
Her face cracked into a smile. She bowed slightly and held the bank card with both hands. She said to Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, wish you a nice meal.”
Gilmore smiled and nodded, “Thank you!”
Ms. Catherine then left the room with joy.
Only then did Ian, Lilian, Celia, Robin, and the others realize that Gilmore really spent 160,000 dollars on a meal
Everly was stunned. “When did my brother become a rich man? She thought.

The waiter brought over lobsters, caviar, white truffles, Lafite, and other dishes one after another.
And more than a dozen waitresses served the diners wine and tea. Their service was quite good.
It made lan and his classmates feel like distinguished guests.
Even lan and his father, the richest man in the county, had never received such a grand welcome like this when they came to dine here.
Today’s meal cost 160,000 dollars, and the diners had gotten the warmest reception ever from the hotel
At this time, Ms. Catherine came back with a warm smile and said loudly to Cilmore, “Mr. Reed, please try caviar. I hope your like it

Then, Ms. Catherine spoke to a waitress standing behind Gilmore, “Shirley, what are you standing there for? Go serve Mr. Reed Lafite
“Yes, Ms. Catherine, the waitress answered.
The waitress had gotten Gilmore half a glass of Lafite. Now she topped his glass up as she was told.
“Mr. Reed, if you need anything, just let us know. We will do our best to serve you, Ms. Catherine humbled herself like a s**nt and said very politely.
Ms. Catherine’s great respect towards Gilmore embarrassed lan, who was supposed to be the host.
lan even felt an angry stab of jealousy.
Originally, lan wanted to show off in front of his classmates and Lilian.
But now, Gilmore stole the show.
Gilmore became the center of attention, surrounded by his classmates.
Lilian kept looking at Gilmore with eyes full of tenderness that lan had never felt before. Ian’s hatred d indescribable.
However, there was nothing lan could do but feel tormented.
After all, Gilmore was able to afford such a big meal which cost him 160,000 dollars.
Suddenly, Ian thought of something. Even he could not afford this meal,
Gilmore’s family had never been considered rich. How could Gilmore afford such a luxurious meal?
Jan couldn’t help but suspect that there was something wrong
lan suddenly seemed to have found Gilmore’s weakness and was ready to confirm his suspicions later.
Maybe Gilmore’s money wasn’t clean.
In that case, it would be fun.

A dozen waitresses followed Ms. Catherine out of the room.
Then, Ms. Catherine closed the door softly.
Gilmore looked towards everyone present and said. “Let’s eat. Make yourself at home!”
The group of people nodded in agreement to Gilmore
It was the first time for them to try caviar, white truffles, and other precious food. They all looked curious and began to taste the food carefully.
Then, an expression of mingled surprise, wonder, and admiration appeared on their faces.
Needless to say, the caviar, white truffles, lobsters, and Lafite gave them an incredible expression on the palate.
Even lan was enjoying every mouthful of the precious food.
Later, one of Gilmore’s classmates raised his glass to Gilmore. ‘Gilmore, we have gone our separate ways since i from high school. Im so happy to see you again. So, here’s to you!”
Immediately, the others at the table got up and followed suit. “To Gilmore!”
Ian, who was supposed to be the host, was ignored.
Gilmore stood up with a smile, raised his glass, and said, “To our reunion!”
Lilian, Celia, Robin, and Everly also got up and raised their glasses.
Seeing that, lan could only get up and raise his glass to Gilmore
In the cheers, everyone raised their glasses and drank up.
Then, they sat down and began eating, drinking, and chatting. They all livened up.
Seeing that everyone was in the mood to chat, lan knew that the time was right.

Therefore, lan faked a cough and then said to Gilmore casually, “Gilmore, you’ve just been in college for less than a year, and you’ve made a lot of money. Very impressive! And you’re treating us to caviar, white truffles, and Lafite.
“I wonder if you can give us some tips on how to make money. We will very much appreciate it.”
Hearing Ian’s words, the others around the table looked very interested and asked Gilmore, ‘Gilmore, are you very rich now?
“How did you make it? Any tips for us?
“Come on, we’ll never forget your generosity today.”
Even Lilian, Celia, and Robin looked at Gilmore, wondering if he really struck it rich
All of Gilmore’s classmates wanted to get rich like Gilmore did.
Gilmore gestured for them to quiet down ‘Calm down, everyone I have something to say
All of them quietened down, including lan, and all eyes watched Gilmore.

Hearing this, all the people became more focused. They looked at Gilmore unblinkingly, as if they would miss the opportunity to get rich in the blink of an eye.
Gilmore continued, “I won the lottery recently, and I got two million dollars.”
Gilmore won the lottery!
He got two million dollars!
Hearing this, all the people were too thunderstruck to speak.
But on second thought, this answer was the most logical one.

Otherwise, it was impossible for Gilmore, who was still very poor in high school, to have so much money within less than a year in university.

It was nine o’clock in the evening.
After the meal, Gilmore, Lilian, Robin, lan, and the others walked out of Milky Way Hotel.
All of their faces were alive with relish and surprise.
They seemed to still be in that moment where they were savoring the food with great enjoyment at the dinner party.
And the news that Gilmore struck it rich by winning two million dollars in the lottery still left them dumbfounded.
Gilmore, who had been poor, now got rich overnight. His classmates were all envious of him.
It was as if everything was no match for dumb luck. This was life
But on second thoughts, Gilmore’s classmates considered tonight’s dinner such a treat!
They had something to brag about wherever they went.
Tonight’s feal meant a lot to all of them. The great enjoyment of food touched something deep in their souls.
They were so proud of Gilmore, who had become a rich man within a year in university. They would tell whoever they met this amazing story…
People were bragging all the time, and that was the spice of life.
Outside the hotel, some of Gilmore’s classmates said gratefully. Gilmore, thank you for your hospitality tonight!
We will never forget it!
“Thank you….
They came over one after another to shake hands and say goodbye to Gilmore.
Those who came from pretty good families even asked, ‘Gilmore, did you drive your car tonight? If not, we’ll give you a ride.”
Before Gilmore could speak, lan said to Ollie Field with a smile, “Come on, Gilmore is now worth 160,000 dollars. How can he not have a car?
“He must have a luxury one!”
Speaking of which, lan spotted a luxury Mercedes parked not far away. He immediately pointed at it and said, “Like that one
over there! A Mercedes worth nearly a million”
Then, lan looked sideways at Gilmore and asked, “Gilmore, am I right?”
With extreme competitiveness, lan made such a statement out of jealousy,
Gilmore paid 160,000 dollars for the dinner tonight and stole lan’s thunder.
Then, Gilmore revealed that he won the lottery and got two million dollars, which made lan extremely jealous.
Gilmore’s success made lan feel like a loser.
Therefore, when Ollie asked Gilmore if he drove his car tonight, an instantly got a chance to humiliste Gilmore.

Gilmore had just won two-million dollars and probably had not bought a car yet.
And even if Gilmore did buy a car, could it compare with Ian’s BMW worth five or six hundred thousand dollars?
The rest of them looked embarrassed.
Robin heard a note of irony in lan’s voice and looked a bit angry; Robin then said to lan, “lan, what do you mean by that?”
lan didn’t care and smiled as he said, “Take it easy, Robin. I mean Gilmore is a multimillionaire right now. A luxury car worth several million is just a piece of cake for him. Am I right?
Even Lilian couldn’t take it anymore. She walked up to Gilmore and said, “Gilmore, my car is here. I’ll get you home
Gilmore spent several hundred thousand dollars buying his classmates a meal, and lan was one of them. After the meal, not only did lan not thank Gilmore, he even ridiculed Gilmore.
Because of that, Lilian looked down on Ian and loathed him. So, she came out to help Gilmore out.
Lilian took out the car keys from her handbag and pressed the button. Immediately, the BMW parked not far away responded and unlocked itself with a beep.
Lilian’s intention of giving Gilmore a ride aroused people’s envy
In particular. Jan felt sick with jealousy like crazy.
Ian’s questions about luxury cars already embarrassed Gilmore, but lan didn’t expect Lilian to drive Gilmore home.
In lan’s opinion, this was simply giving Gilmore and Lilian a chance to get along.
lan didn’t know what to do now.
However, Gilmore did not panic. He took out the car keys from his pocket and pressed the bottom.
Not far away, the most expensive Mercedes in the parking lot buzzed, and the headlights flashed.
It was as if Gilmore was telling everyone that he was the owner of this luxury car.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
This luxury car worth nearly a million was actually Gilmore’s!
Jan’s eyes widened in shock and his face was burning as if he had been slapped a few hundred times.
Jan would never have thought that Gilmore would be the owner of that luxury car.
Everyone was looking at lan with eyes full of disdain. How much lan wished the floor would open and swallow him whole!
Tonight, lan made himself look ugly.
Gilmore unlocked his Mercedes. Then he smiled and said to the shocked Lilian in a gentlemanly manner, “Let me drive you home! You drank just now. You can’t drive. It’s quite dangerous.
All the people around were wide-eyed
They all knew that Gilmore had also drunk wine.
Obviously, Gilmore wanted to take this opportunity to bond with Lilian.
Was it really dangerous for girls to drive at night? Of course not, Gilmore was talking nonsense!

But the current situation was beyond his control

Lilian came back to her senses. She had already drunk some wine, so the flush on her cheeks was even more alluring.
Lilian murmured, “But… what about my car?”
“Don’t worry about that. Lend me your car, and I’ll drive Everly home Celia took the car keys from Lilian’s hand and said with a sly smile.
Celia had looked down on Gilmore for his little money and few possessions. But after feasting on caviar, white truffle, lobster, and Lafite tonight, she completely changed her opinion
In her eyes, Gilmore was definitely worthy of Lilian
Therefore, when Gilmore intended to drive Lilian home, not only did Celia not stop him, but she also helped him make this happen
After saying that, Celia took Everly’s hand and said. “Everly, I’ll take you back to Springvale.”
“My brother’s got a room at Milky Way Hotel I’m not going back to Springvale tonight,” said Everly.
Celia was stunned for a moment, and then a smule appeared on her face. “Shall I show you around the county before you check into the hotel?”
Everly looked towards Gilmore as if asking for permission.
Gilmore said. “You can go with Celia!”
Everly nodded and followed Celia into Lilian’s BMW
Gilmore stretched out his hand and said to Lilian, “Let’s go! I’ll take you
home.”
Robin and the others all snickered. “Gilmore, I wish you both a happy night!
“Have a wonderful time!
“When are you getting married? Remember to invite us to the wedding!”
Hearing them bantering. Lilian felt her face glow and burn. She lowered her head and hurriedly got into Gilmore’s Mercedes
Gilmore smiled as he waved at them. “Thank you for your blessings. I will enjoy this lovely night
After that, Gilmore got in his Mercedes and drove the car off Milky Way Hotel

When watching Gilmore drive Lilian home, Robin and the other students put on jealous smiles.
Im so envious that Gilmore can spend a good night with the girl of my dream.”
“When will such good luck come upon us?
“I think I’ll be a single man for the rest of my life…
After a while of chatting, they said goodbye and left by car.
All the students drove away, except for lan.
A wave of hatred, jealousy, and anger surged in him.
As early as high school, he had had a crush on Lilian. He had been hopelessly in love with her.
He couldn’t believe Gilmore drove her home.
He knew well what they would do after getting home.
is M
He thought, “Lilian is MINE!
Nobody but I deserve her!”
His eyes glittered with terrifying jealousy and craziness.
He suddenly recalled that Gilmore had won a lottery. “How dare he show off his money and take my girl away from me! It was just two million dollars! What’s the big deal?” he thought.
He must scam the **p out of Gilmore!
He must turn Gilmore back to that poor guy.
Then he grabbed his phone and dialed a number.
The call got through after a second. “Tan, what’s wrong?” A man’s cold voice came from the other side.
“Dave, come to Milky Way Hotel with your men. I’ve got a big business.” lan’s eyes glittered with viciousness.
“Okay, I’ll be right there.” The man then hung up the phone.
Jan stepped toward his BMW in the parking lot and got in the car.
He reached for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and lit a cigarette.
The smoke flew from his mouth out of the window.
He had never smoked in front of Lilian in order to leave a good impression on her.
But in fact, he smoked heavily.
He smoked about four or five cigarettes in less than twenty minutes.
Finally, a black Audi arrived at Milky Way Hotel.
It parked beside, lan’s BMW
Chapter 60
A man with long curly hair-got off the car.
The man wore a black leather jacket, exuding an indifferent and distant aura. Behind his black sunglasses was his cold face.
He got into lan’s car and sat in the passenger seat.
He took a cigarette from the dashboard and stuck it between his lips, and took the lighter to lit it.
He inhaled deeply and exhaled a whiff of smoke.
“lan, what’s the big business?” His voice came through the thick smoke.
“Kill a man for me, and then all the money will be yours, lan said.
He stared at the man intently.
The man looked at him as well and said after a moment, “I appreciate your dad spent a lot of money in hiring a lawyer for me to get me out of prison one year earlier.
“But I’d get there again and spend the rest of my life there if I did this for you.”
“two million dollars. Do it or not?” Ian directly offered the reward
The man was Dave Thompson.
He was lan’s cousin, and he was 30 years old. He once dominated the town’s underworld due to his reputation for being extremely ruthless.
He had killed someone accidentally and was sentenced to eleven years of imprisonment,
Ian’s father had hired a lawyer with much money to get him out of prison in advance.
It had been less than a month since he got released from prison.
Ian’s father owned many factories, bars, brick factories, and sand factories in Elmwood, so he asked Dave to work for him.
He needed Dave so badly in many aspects that he was willing to spend a fortune in hiring a lawyer for Dave.
Dave knew well how serious the consequences would be if he killed a person at this critical time.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was grateful to lan’s father, he would not have had the conversation with lan now.
He was surprised that Ian offered him two million dollars to kill man.
“I know your father is super-rich, but I doubt you have so much money. If you’re done talking, I’m gonna go home.” Dave
sneered.
Then he was about to get out of the car.
“I’m not gonna offer you the money, but the man I want you to kill has so much money. Can’t you do me a favor this time after all the things my dad has done for you?” lan sneered.
Dave stared at him sharply, a vertical line appearing between his brows.
His gratitude to lan’s father drove him to sit back. “Well, tell me the person you wanna kill and the money
It took lan about five minutes to tell Dave everything, like how Gilmore took his woman away, won the lottery, and bought a luxury car.
Chapter 60
His eyes flashed with hatred, “How dare he take away my woman and humiliate me in front of many students! Don’t you think I should take revenge?”
Dave said nothing.
If what lan said were true, he should indeed teach Gilmore a lesson.
It was an intolerable humiliation for a man to see his woman taken away in front of many people.
But Dave was more interested in the lottery Gilmore won
He couldn’t believe such good luck came upon a poor
Dave vacillated.
Money was all he liked.
He could even sacrifice his life for money.
It was for money that he had killed the person and got imprisoned for ten years.
What was more, it would be less risky to rob money of a poor guy than of a wealthy man.
He could barely control the madness in his heart.
“Tan, I will avenge the insult for you, but I can’t kill him. I can only c**le him. His eyes flashed with fierceness.
He had been imprisoned for ten years. He didn’t want to go there again and die there.
Nor did he want to be shot on the execution ground.
What he wanted was money, not other people’s lives.
Ian wished eagerly that Gilmore could disappear from this world as soon as possible, but he couldn’t force Dave to kill
Gilmore.
It would also make him feel good to cripple Gilmore.
