Lethan nced at the dishes on the table and replied, "It''s all here."


    "Did you invite anyone else?" Shania continued to ask.


    "No."


    Lethan didn''t immediately let the person in but instead stalked toward the door with a grim expression.


    As one of the hotel''s Diamond members, he was entitled to Diamond services. He shouldn''t be disturbed if he didn''t call for a waiter.


    However, Lethan''s words were caught in his throat as soon as he opened the door and saw who it was.


    He choked on his saliva and started coughing from the shock.


    "M-Mr. Gust!"


    "Lethon, you don''t mind us joining in, do you?


    Standing at the door was the corpulent Yuriel, holding a cigar while wearing a kind smile. Behind him were a group of well-dressed bodyguards and three high-ranking executives from Evermore Properties.


    Lethan''s pupils narrowed slightly.


    Yuriel''s sudden arrival likely had something to do with the properties Carlisle was handling.


    What a sharp sense of smell Yuriel had. He was just like a dog.


    As much as Lethan wanted to refuse, he couldn''t and didn''t dare to. He only forced a smile and uttered," Of course not, Mr. Gust. Wee."


    Shania''s muscles tensed the moment she heard Yuriel''s voice. As her heart rate increased, she tightened her grip on her fork, not even daring to breathe too loudly.


    Although Windex Corporation was well-regarded in the real estate industry, it paled inparison to Evermore Properties, especially when it was led by Yuriel himself.


    Carlisle continued to cut the roasted pig with his utensils, seemingly unaware of who the neer was.


    Shania whispered, "Carl, Yuriel is here..."


    Carlisle only dipped the cut pork into some sauce and smoothly popped it into his mouth, smiling.


    "Well, if he''s here, let him be. It''s not like he''s going to eat us."


    "But..."


    "Carlisle, my friend! We meet again!" Yuriel''s voice interrupted whatever Shania was about to say as he entered the room.


    Shania stood up and greeted him with an air ofposure, "Mr. Gust."

    Carlisle also stood up politely. "Mr. Gust, are you here to see me?" he smilingly asked.


    Yurielughed heartily. "No need to be so formal. Let''s sit down and eat!"


    Carlisle, of course, didn''t refuse the offer and promptly took his seat. Yuriel wouldn''t bother with a young man like him.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    With a smile, Yuriel sat opposite Carlisle.


    Shania and Lethan waited until Yuriel sat down before they took their seats.


    Finally, the three high-ranking executives from Evermore Properties sat down as well.


    At that moment, the waiter brought over a few sets of cutleries.


    Yuriel turned to the waiter and instructed, "Bring us two more bottles of ''82 Lafite. Put the bill for this table under my name."


    "Yes, Mr. Gust!" the waiter responded carefully before turning to leave.


    Yuriel then ced his cigar in the ashtray and looked at Carlisle with a smile.


    "Carlisle, my friend, I didn''t think you would have such keen business insight at such a young age. You even predicted Riverwatch District''s development!"


    If Lethan could gather information about Carlisle. Then it was a given the richest man in Rivend could do the same.


    Carlisle had no political background and couldn''t have received news about Riverwatch District''s development from the county or Lumina.


    Moreover, the original n for Rivend''s development was to develop the Tristream District.


    It was only when officials from the nning bureau came to Rivend and discovered that Riverwatch District was significantly behind that they changed their ns.


    So, Yuriel thought Carlisle must have stumbled upon some good luck like a blind cat that found a dead mouse.


    Yuriel had been frustrated for a few days now. He should have thought of this himself.


    Riverwatch District was located in the downtown area and had suffered from neglect over the years.


    It had led to a loss of personnel and decline in the economy, which in turn dragged down the entire Rivend GDP. It was indeed necessary to Was develop and obtain investment as soon as possible.


    Fortunately, Yuriel had obtained a piece ofnd in a decent location With that piece ofnd as a foundation, he could still secure a significant share of the Riverwatch District market.


    As Carlisle took a bite of the fish and smiled lightly, he mentioned, "It was just good luck."


    Yuriel''s lips curved into a smile at those words.


    "I''ll stop beating around the bush. Let''s proceed with the transaction for the properties you have at the
