Chapter 195
Carlisle’s beautiful dream shattered once again.
“Which idiot is disturbing my beautiful dream this time?”
He clenched his fists and pounded the bed twice, cursing himself for forgetting to enable silent mode on
his phone.
Next weekend, he resolved to activate silent mode before going to sleep.
Picking up his phone, he saw that the caller ID read “Mother Dearest“.
Carlisle felt a pang of frustration as he reluctantly answered the phone.
“Mom… Why are you calling so early?”
“You brat, what time is it? Are you still not up?” Hilda’s scolding came through the phone. However, Carlisle could hear a hint of joy in her voice.
Curious, he asked, “Did something good happen? You sound happy.”
Hilda joyfully exclaimed, “Yes, there is good news! Your father and I have been requested to work at
Sentaur Molding Factory!”
Sentaur Molding Factory was one of the top companies in Rainville.
While other small factories only paid 400 to 500, Sentaur Molding Factory paid over 900 dollars a month, with the possibility of earning more through overtime.
Getting a job at Sentaur Molding Factory would elevate the Zahn couple’s status in the village.
Carlisle suddenly sat up in bed, his tone serious as he declared, “Mom, please don’t work at Sentaur Molding Factory…”
Yuriel mentioned last night that if Carlisle agreed to cooperate with him, he would help Carlisle’s parents. get management positions at Sentaur Molding Factory.
-Carlisle thought that it was all talk. He didn’t expect Yuriel to actually do it.
If Hilda and Gordon worked at Sentaur Molding Factory, Yuriel would have control over Carlisle. And when Carlisle’s mobile phone company took off, who knew what Yuriel might have in mind?
Hilda retorted impatiently, “You brat, are you still half asleep? Do you even know how much the normal
workers at Sentaur make?
“Hayley made 985 dollars last month, and her husband made 12 hundred dollars. They want us to take management positions, with a guaranteed minimum of 16 hundred a month!”
Carlisle didn’t know how he should feel about this.
“Mom,” he sighed, “have you wondered why Sentaur is offering you such a high salary?”

Hilda replied, “Of course, we’ve thought about it. Your father used to work at the water plant and had a good relationship with one of the department heads. Your father thinks it’s probably that department head who helped us out.”
Carlisle’s lips twitched slightly as he asked, “Is Dad beside you?”
“He’s here!”
“Please give him the phone,” Carlisle said, thinking it would be better to talk to Gordon.
Carlisle knew who that department head was.
Back in middle school, Gordon had taken the department head, Shawn Jill, to dinner. Gordon also brought
Carlisle with him back then.
At the dinner, there were also workers from the water plant. They made Gordon imitate a pig when they
got drunk.
At that time, Carlisle thought it was just a game among adults. It was only later when he grew up that he
realized they were actually bullying his father.
“Hey, Carl!” Gordon’s voice was loud and filled with joy.
On the other hand, Carlisle’s tone was serious. “Dad, do you really think it was that department head who
helped you?”
Gordon guffawed at those words. “Of course! Shawn and I have a good relationship. Just the other day, he kept speaking up for me during the company downsizing.”
Carlisle’s nose tingled as emotions welled up inside him.
“Dad… You were already laid off before my college entrance exam, weren’t you? Why did you lie to us?”
The smile on Gordon’s face gradually froze.
And since the phone was on speaker, Hilda also heard it. She could only stare at Gordon.
“What nonsense are you on, you brat? I was laid off just three days ago!” Gordon’s tone turned stern.
Hilda then forcefully slapped Gordon’s arm, her eyes red.
“You’re still lying even now! I’ve long suspected that you weren’t working at the water plant. Since when
do state–owned enterprises work on weekends?
Gordon could only smile awkwardly before he demanded, “How did you find out, you brat?”
