Lethan
rang. it
“Hello, Mr. Warbane
“You call Shania by her name, so why are you calling me Mr. Werbene? Lethan’s tone had a hint of
displeasure.
Carlisle chuckled. “Changing how I address you requires a fee
Lethan’s mouth twitched. “Forget it. I’m so broke right now
Carlisle teased, “Come over, I’m making instant noodles”
“Really? A billionaire eating instant noodles? Lethan sounded surprised.
“Come and see for yourself. Being a billionaire is a thing of the past. I’m broke now, with only a few million
dollars left in my account.”
“Well, I’m a little better off. I still have over 30 million.”
“And you’re still complaining?” Carlisle quipped.
Lethan laughed heartily. “Look at you, a millionaire eating instant noodles!” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After a brief chat, Carlisle asked, “So, what did you call me for?
Lethan straightened up and said, “Josie is hosting a banquet tonight at Imperial Hotel to celebrate Shein and his family’s return. Shania and I think we should mention that you saved them. Maybe Shein will
finally accept you-”
“Absolutely not,” Carlisle quickly interrupted. “You’re not helping me, you’re putting me in danger. Jalen is furious as it is. If he finds out I was behind this, I might not live to see tomorrow.”
Lethan insisted, “The banquet is only for close friends. They won’t spill the beans,”
Carlisle chuckled. “The only person you can truly trust in this world is yourself.”
It wasn’t just outsiders he needed to be wary of–even close family could be a threat.
Shein had broad vision, so he might keep quiet. But Zachary? That was another story.
Lethan sighed. “So, you’re going to keep your good deeds a secret?”
Carlisle carried his noodles to the living room and put his phone on speaker. “These actions are just a
facade. I’m doing it for Wanda.”
Lethan couldn’t help but laugh. “No wonder Wanda likes you so much. If I were a girl, I’d want a man like you too!”
Carlisle choked a little on his noodles and quickly changed the topic. “How’s the Holly Fisheries project coming along?”
“It’s already underway. We’re expecting it to be finished by next month. By December, the ecosystem should be in place, and in January, we can start stocking the fish.”
“Don’t wait until January. Start taking pre–orders this month. That’s real money. The more we stock, the more we earn.”
“You’re right. I’ll start the pre–orders tomorrow!”
After a bit more conversation, they ended the call.
Carlisle continued eating his noodles when a knock interrupted him. He walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside were Daniel, Shane, and Sean.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Carlisle turned back and walked toward the couch.
Daniel followed behind. “Carlisle, did you know your girlfriend was kidnapped?”
Carlisle sat back down on the couch and resumed eating his noodles. “Yeah, I know. Didn’t she get rescued?”
Daniel sat opposite Carlisle, his tone serious. “The kidnappers didn’t take a single penny. Were you behind
this?”
