Chapter 291
Gareth was obviously stunned, but he soon shook his head with a smile. “You’re wrong. I’m jobless, you
see.”
Regardless of who Gareth really was, Carlisle knew that he was hiding his identity and could not reveal too many secrets. As such, he didn’t push further.
When they arrived at the spot where Gareth had been drinking just now, an unfamiliar ringtone came from Carlisle’s pocket.
It was Wanda’s cell phone. Christine was c
Carlisle passed the cell phone to Wanda, who had remained quiet for a while.
Wanda excused herself to answer the call. Meanwhile, Carlisle went to the railing with Gareth.
With both hands on the railing, Gareth uttered, “Carlisle, you’re not an ordinary person.”
Carlisle turned to look at him. “Neither are you.”
Gareth turned to meet Carlisle’s eyes and said gleefully, “As a person who is willing to pay a million
dollars to listen to a song, of course I’m not ordinary.”
Carlisle laughed and said, “Then, tell me which part of me seems unordinary

you.
Gareth lit a cigarette and took a long drag. “It’s just my intuition.”
Carlisle turned back to look at the river and casually asked, “Do you believe in fortune–telling?”
Gareth became interested. “Can you tell fortunes?”
Carlisle said with a deep voice, “Your fate is bad and you probably encountered terrible things recently.
Your bad fortune either entails you going bankrupt or your family being ruined.”
“Fuck!” Gareth flicked the cigarette in annoyance.
If it were someone else, Gareth would have already beaten him to a pulp. But he had just given Carlisle a
million dollars and had not listened to his singing yet.
Gareth said without expression, “Sing for me. After that, we’ll owe each other nothing!”
He had originally appreciated Carlisle’s talent and wanted to be friends with him. Unexpectedly, Carlisle actually cursed him with bad fortune. He didn’t want to be friends with such a person.
Gareth pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on the recorder. He planned to record this song and learn it by himself later.
By then, Wanda had already ended the call. Christine informed her that the deal with Gerard was done.
As if on cue, Carlisle started singing at that very moment.
Wanda wanted to record it with her cell phone, but she found that Carlisle did not sing as passionately as

he did just now.
Although Carlisle was singing it to another person now, she was not upset.
She had no idea if this song would sell or not; but when someone paid Carlisle a million dollars to sing it. it had given the song monetary value
This song was now worth a million dollars, and she had listened to it without paying even a single cent
just now.
She was growing excited about Carlisle’s upcoming performance at the bonfire party.
As she was thinking this, Carlisle had finished singing the song.
Gareth’s face was covered in tears. He stared at the shimmering river in a daze, humming. “For once, I want to live with you forever. We can laugh on sunny days, and argue freely on colder nights. Do you know the only thing I want…
His intonation and tune were good. This was especially true considering he had only listened to it twice.
Carlisle even suspected that he majored in music.
Gareth lifted a liquor bottle and chugged it. “I also wished for a chance to live with her forever, but she
never let me…
Carlisle smiled lightly. “You’re rich, so there should be many girls pursuing you. Why do you have to trap yourself with her?”
Gareth downed the liquor and muttered with a sad smile, “You don’t understand.”
Carlisle shrugged helplessly. Everyone had their own secrets. Perhaps the relationship between him and his girlfriend was indeed very complicated.
Just like Francis‘ ex–girlfriend, who was terminally ill but made an excuse to break up with him. In the end, it became a deep wound in Francis‘ heart.
Another example would be Shane and Olivia. If Olivia had really slept with another man for 1800 dollars, it would also become an eternal scar in Shane’s heart.
Why should he care about others when he hadn’t even figured out his own relationship?
Carlisle smiled and then said seriously, “Since you’ve so kindly given me a million dollars, I’ll warn you again–don’t get into the liquor business. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself in big trouble!”
Gareth’s already downcast mood instantly worsened, but he did not lose his temper this time. Instead, he
stared at Carlisle without saying a word.
Carlisle had mentioned the liquor business twice now. At first, he thought that Carlisle assumed he was in the liquor business because he was still sober after drinking so much.
Gareth had denied it just now, yet Carlisle mentioned it again. This was becoming a little odd.
As a matter of fact, he did invest in a wine brand recently–one that was founded by his childhood best
friend.
