Making 79
The morning sunray shone on the manor of the Carter family the following day. An old man with a lame leg was walking with a crutch on the green meadow. He was wearing white suit pants, leather shoes, and a white golf cap. His gray hair and wrinkles showed signs of aging. In addition, anyone could tell that he was someone with rich experience in overcoming the hardship of life by looking at his pair of sharp eyes.
Two tall, mighty bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses respectfully followed him around. The old man with a crutch was none other than Denton Carter, who was known to be an ambitious man in Oakhaven decades ago and had thousands of gang members under his command. He had broken his left leg in a fierce battle from a sneak attack; therefore, the people in Oakhaven called him, Crippled Dragon.
Crippled Dragon’s ambition started when he was 30 years old. He ruled Oakhaven for 20 years and earned billions of assets. In addition, he became a well–known business tycoon in Oakhaven through 20 years of running his business. However, Denton had handed his family business over to his son and would not interfere unless it was a major matter.
Although Denton went into retirement, he had great influence in the martial arts and business world. Denton strolled over and sat down on a chair under an umbrella. Then, two maids dressed in black dresses and aprons came up with trays of food and placed them on the table in front of Denton
Denton’s breakfast consisted of a bowl of soup, a plate of peanuts, and dried radish. It was such a simple breakfast that no one would believe it was a meal that a tycoon like Denton would eat.
Even though Denton used to be an ambitious and ruthless man, he preferred to eat a simple breakfast after becoming a wealthy tycoon to remind himself of his roots.
Denton placed his crutch on the side of the table before picking up his spoon to take some peanuts and dried radish and consumed his soup. He chewed and swallowed slowly, enjoying his breakfast as though he was having a sumptuous, luxurious meal.
An old man in his fifties, who was dressed in a black suit, walked straight to Denton at that moment and informed him respectfully, “Sir, Mr. Emerson Palmer is here. He is waiting for you in the reception room of the villa
Denton laughed as he ate his peanuts. “Well, this old fellow must be here because my beloved granddaughter, Claire, rejected his precious grandson, Benjamin; thus, he came to complain
The old man in the suit laughed along. “It’s normal for the young ones to be in disagreement. Mr. Emerson worried too much about their affairs.”
“I’ll go after my breakfast. Let him wait for a while,” Denton replied and continued eating his breakfast.
The old man in a black suit was Stephen Knight, and he was Denton’s housekeeper.
“Yes, Sir,” Stephen replied respectfully before standing aside as be waited for Denton to finish his breakfast, NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Denton picked up a napkin and wiped his lips after he had finished eating. Then, two maids cleaned up the-table
Denton took his crutch, stood up, and told Stephen, “Stephen, let’s go!”
“Yes, Sir, Stephen replied before following Denton and his two
bodyguards…
Mr. Emerson was seated on the sofa and drinking tea in the luxurious villa. On the other hand, Cooper stood solemnly at
the side.
Emerson, why did you come to visit me today? Did you miss me?” Emerson heard a deep voice coming from the gate and looked up. He saw Denton limping over with a cane in his hand,

friendship. As a result, they arranged for Claire and Benjamin to marry.
Emerson put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Denton, “Yes, I’m here because I miss you.”
“You can visit me anytime. You are always welcomed here. Denton laughed and sat down on the sofa.
Stephen immediately prepared a cup of coffee for Denton and placed it on the table in front of him. Then, he refilled Emerson’s cup with tea.
Denton and Emerson greeted each other like old friends and chatted for fifteen minutes before Denton asked, “Emerson, do you have another agenda for coming here?”
Denton did not believe that Emerson had visited for no reason. They were both tycoons in Oakhaven; therefore, they did not need to act hypocritically with each other. Moreover, they would often meet up for a game of cards in some high–end clubs. Unless it was something major, there was nothing they could not talk comfortably about with each other. There must be something important that Emerson would like to discuss with Denton. He would not have visited Denton otherwise.
“I’ll be honest since you asked. Emerson did not beat around the bush and took out his mobile phone from his pocket before clicking on the screen a few times.
Then, he handed the phone to Denton and continued, “Denton, please look at these photos and videos
Denton took the phone and looked at it in surprise. It was a photo of Claire and Gilmore kissing in the car.
Denton slid his finger across the phone screen and saw another intimate picture of Claire holding onto Gilmore’s arm. Then, he watched a video of them kissing in the car
Benjamin, who received those photos and videos from Marco, sent them to his grandfather, Emerson.
After watching the short clip, Denton handed the phone back to Emerson and asked calmly, “Emerson, where did you get these photos and videos?”
Even though Denton was outraged by what he had seen, his face remained expressionless. He had been through all kinds of challenges because of his ambition and experience in the martial arts world.
“You should know that Benjamin has feelings for Claire. He took these photos and videos when he was waiting for her in the car park, Emerson explained.
“Who is this man with Claire?” Denton asked with a frown
“His name is Gilmore Reed. a student of Oakhaven University. He’s also your granddaughter, Christine’s boyfriend.” Emerson revealed the important news without batting an eyelid.
marry Claire, I Denton could not help widening his eyes a little in surprise. “Emerson, since we have arranged Benjamin to will not allow Claire to continue to do as she pleases. As for Gilmore Reed, I will definitely not let him off if he’s really Christine’s boyfriend.”
“Then, I’ll leave this matter to you. However, we need to do something about Cilmore as soon as possible to prevent him. from harming Claire and Christine, Emerson replied with a smile, thinking it would be better if Denton could get rid of Gilmore quickly.
“Emerson, bring Benjamin here tonight. I will personally interrogate Gilmore Reed, and if I find out he has the intention to harm Claire and Christine, I will break his arms and legs and make him suffer a fate worse than death, Denton spoke with
power.
Emerson’s face lit up with joy as he rose and showed his appreciation, “Then, I’ll come again with Benjamin tonight and watch how you punish Gilmore.”
After Emerson left with Cooper while feeling satisfied, Denton, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, could not
