Chapter 198
This era’s meteorological department wasn’t advanced enough to predict this snowy disaster. The heavy snow caused many industries to collapse, especially the aquaculture industry.

“Mom, I have something to do. I’ll hang up now!” Carlisle blurted out and hung up without waiting for a
response
He then called Lethan..
Lethan was also resting today. After being awakened by Carlisle’s call, he asked in a voice dripping with
annoyance, “Do you know that disturbing someone’s sleep is like killing their parents?”
ד
“I have a money–making opportunity. Are you interested?”
“I’m wide awake now. Can we make tens of millions?” Lethan’s spirit suddenly lifted,
“More like billions,” Carlisle solemnly stated.” If things go well, we might make ten billion.
Lethan’s heart thumped, and he immediately lowered his voice, asking, “Where are you? I’ll come meet
you!”
He firmly believed in Carlisle’s words. Nowadays, there was high technology to monitor phone calls. To be safe, he didn’t dare to discuss things with Carlisle over the phone.
Carlisle told Lethan his location before he hung up and got up to wash up. When he went to Team
Legendary on the first floor, he saw Francis sitting by the window, drinking tea.
Francis eyes were melancholic, his hair was disheveled, and he had stubble. Despite the messiness, he
exuded a king of rugged handsomeness.
A song called Lilac Flowers was playing on the phone on the table.
Seeing this, Carlisle sighed inwardly and went over to comfort him.
“The dead cannot come back to life. Please accept my condolences.”
With a wry smile, Francis uttered in a hoarse voice, “Her grave is under the maple tree where we had our
first date. We were surrounded by her favorite lilac flower… But she clearly liked roses!”
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes again.
Carlisle remembered the song about lilac flowers.
The lyrics were: “The flowers before your grave were the beauty you yearned for so much. Do you still feel lonely despite seeing them everywhere you look?”
Carlisle comforted him softly, “She must have planted lilac flowers in front of her grave in hopes of you seeing the flowers she liked when you visit her.”
“That’s what she wrote in her will. I regret it so much. If I hadn’t been so impulsive back then, I could have accompanied her through those last few years.
Chapter 198
“Renee said Rebecca was in so much pain when she passed away… Even when she was barely conscious,
she kept calling my name!”
The more Francis spoke, the more agitated he became. Tears streamed down his chin and fell onto his
chest.
People said real men don’t cry easily, but that was only until they were truly heartbroken.
Francis, who had been in the army for several years, was definitely as tough as a nail. However, he was crying like a child right now.
Carlisle felt a prickling sensation in his eyes.
He took a few tissues from the tissue box on the coffee table and handed them over. “Here. Wipe your tears. Do you want to go back and spend some more time with her?”
Francis took the tissues, wiped away his tears, and shook his head.
“No… I need to make money. I need to fulfill her unfulfilled wishes.”
Hearing that, Carlisle asked, “What other wishes did she have?”
Francis whispered, “She wanted to build a school in her hometown and pave the road with asphalt so that the children who were left behind wouldn’t have difficulty going to school anymore.”
Rebecca was such a kind woman. Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
Carlisle couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
Francis quickly composed himself then. “I’ll go get some rest. Call me anytime if you need the car.”
Carlisle nodded in response, saying, “Just rest well.”
Francis went to rest in one of the bedrooms.
Meanwhile, Lethan arrived before Carlisle could even finish his cup of tea.
He was wearing a white shirt that was neatly tucked into his pants. There was an LV belt around his waist, with a bunch of keys hanging from the buckle and a bulging wallet under his armpit.
“Damn, you started a game studio, too?” Lethan fanned away the smoke with his wallet, looking
disdainful. “Can you make money with just a few computers? How about I invest five million, and we start a game development company?”
