Chapter 151

Francis didn’t expect Sunny to answer the phone.

After a brief silence, he asked with a smile, “Did you charge your phone?”

“I… um, I just plugged it in!” Sunny replied absentmindedly.

“Where are you signing the contract? I’ll come pick you up.” Francis‘ tone was calm.

“I… I’m at the Four Weathers Hotel.”

Sunny could tell that Francis was eager to find him.

Presumably, Francis couldn’t reach him earlier and thought Sunny might have run off with the money.

After hanging up, Francis breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and drove to the Four Weathers Hotel.

After finishing a round of training, Carlisle went to the basketball court to find Mike.

Mike was sweating profusely and taking a few sips of ice–cold cola,

He glanced at Carlisle and said, “Someone’s messing with you? What’s it got to do with me? Aren’t you

close with Heath? Have him come and pick you up!”

There were four school bullies in the school, and they usually didn’t interfere with each other.

Mike knew the group Carlisle was talking about, and Austin had long bought them off.

Austin was the son of Riverland’s richest man, Yuriel.

Offending Austin would probably mean even lán couldn’t protect him.

Carlisle sneered. “I paid you a thousand bucks for protection. Aren’t you supposed to keep me safe?

Are you afraid of them?”

Mike was provoked, glaring at Carlisle. “Do you really think I’m afraid of them? I’ll escort you out of the

school later. Let’s see if they dare to lay a finger on you!”

While he didn’t dare to offend Austin’s men, they also didn’t dare to offend Mike, either. After all, lan

held power in this area.

Carlisle smiled and said, “Thanks, Mike. I’ll treat you guys to a meal another day!”

Mike waved his hand impatiently. “Get lost. Your thousand bucks is only enough for me to help you

once!”

Carlisle turned away, and his expression darkened instantly. After taking a deep breath, he headed

toward the drill ground.

After a few steps, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was Francis calling.

“Francis, any news about Sunny?”

“Yeah, Sunny is currently signing the contract with them. That kid took out all four million in cash.

Francis continued to analyze the sequence of events surrounding Sunny’s reappearance.

“I think he did consider running off with the money at first, but then he probably thought about the

consequences, so he gave up the idea.”

“As long as he’s still around, it’s fine. Let’s not speculate about the reasons,” Carlisle replied.

“Do we still need him after this?” Francis asked, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

If he were Carlisle, he definitely wouldn’t keep a potential threat around.

Carlisle pondered momentarily, then sighed. “Now is precisely when we need people. Let’s keep him

for

now.”

Francis‘ analysis was just his own guess.

Carlisle had his own thoughts. He believed Sunny might have had other reasons. As for the specific

reasons, he couldn’t be bothered to delve into them.

It would be a significant achievement if Sunny could secure the abandoned ice rink and karaoke.

After ending the call, Carlisle switched his phone to silent mode and placed it in the storage box before

returning to the queue.

Standing in his position, Carlisle glanced in Wanda’s direction. Wanda was busy on the phone with her

head lowered.

She received numerous calls this afternoon, so she was making phone calls every halftime break.

Lawrence prompted Wanda to hang up the phone quickly. She placed it back in the storage box before

returning to her position.

After the military training ended in the afternoon, the students rushed to the storage box to retrieve their

phones.

When Carlisle grabbed his phone, he also noticed Wanda’s delicate hand reaching into the crowd for

hers. A smirk crept onto his lips as he gently pinched Wanda’s soft hand.

Wanda hadn’t squeezed to the front; she simply retrieved her phone from between the people. Sensing

someone grabbing her hand, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

Just as she was about to resist in anger…
