Chapter 182
The investigation showed that Carlisle’s family had no political connections.
After reviewing the information on Carlisle’s identity, Shania took a deep breath and asked, “No political connections? How did he know about the development plans for Riverwatch District, then?”
Lethan picked up the landline and made a call.
“Gusto, head over to Riverland University and pick up someone for me. I’ll send you his number later,” he
instructed.
“Got it, Boss!”
“Do
Lethan promptly hung up and sent Carlisle’s phone number to the new driver he had hired, muttering, you think it’s possible that nobody informed him about the development plans for Riverwatch District?”
“I don’t think so.” Shania shook her head, rejecting Lethan’s speculation without hesitation.
She continued, “If he didn’t know about the development plans for Riverwatch District, why would he have bought so many houses and even authorized you to spend 36 million on acquiring Riverwatch Hotel?”
Never mind an 18–year–old student, even Yuriel, the richest man in Riverland, wouldn’t dare to invest so much money without certainty about Riverwatch District’s development.
Lethan was now filled with doubts.
Before this, he suspected Josie had found out about the affair between Quinn and his driver.
Due to some misunderstanding between her and Lethan, she didn’t want to deal with him directly. That was why she had Wanda warn him about it through Carlisle
But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.
Shania was right. If Carlisle hadn’t known about Riverwatch District’s development, he wouldn’t have hoarded so many of that area’s properties.
He, too, wouldn’t have strongly insisted on buying
Verwatch Hotel.
Carlisle had no political connections, yet he predicted Riverwatch District’s upcoming development.
Lethan even suspected Carlisle possessed the supernatural ability to see the future.
“Lethan.” Shania smilingly asked, “What do you think of Carlisle?”
Lethan pushed up his glasses and replied, his expression conflicted, “Even though he’s worth billions now, he’s taken the wrong path.”
“Oh? Has he invested in other industries?”
Lethan nodded.
Shania continued asking. “What industry is it? It’s not smartphones, is it?”
Chapter 162
Lethan was at a loss for words. “That’s exactly it. The competition in the smartphone industry is fierce. How can a naive brat like him compete with other smartphone giants?”
“Ha… It’s a bit of a pity indeed.” Shania sighed, then stared at Lethan accusingly. “Why didn’t you try to talk.
him out of it?”
“I did, but it’s no use. As the saying goes, ‘Good advice falls on deaf ears,‘ and Carlisle sure as hell is deafl
Lethan glanced at the Rolex watch on his wrist. “Let’s go. We’ll order food at the hotel first.”
At the same time, Carlisle put on clean clothes and walked out of the school gate after taking a shower.
Parked by the roadside outside the school was a black Mercedes with a young man in a white shirt standing beside it.
“Carlisle. What a coincidence.” A soft female voice came from his left.
As Carlisle turned his head to take a glance, his good mood was instantly ruined.
His tone was indifferent when he asked, “Yes?”
Sienna smiled gently. “I always see you when I come to your school.”
Carlisle, who didn’t have time for small talk, walked across the road impassively.
Seeing this, Sienne paused for a moment, then stomped her foot angrily.
“Carlisle, you jerk! Why are you acting so aloof?” she hissed.
When Carlisle walked to the Mercedes, the young man with a crew cut respectfully helped him open the
door.
Sienna was stunned again upon seeing that.
