their of When Yuriel directed his gaze toward Lethan and Shania, both of them raised and forced out ufortable smiles.


    Carlisle felt equally helpless.


    It would have been better if the deal had already beenpleted.


    After all, Shania came from a prestigious family, With Shein backing her up, Yuriel wouldn''t easily mess with Shania despite his dominance.


    But life was unpredictable.


    Yuriel had chosen this exact moment to interfere.


    Carlisle wondered if Yuriel had arranged for someone to monitor him, Carlisle didn''t like this uneasy feeling, but what more could he do when his opponent was the all-powerful richest man in Rivend?


    This sucked. Couldn''t Carlisle just be left to grow stronger peacefully? He had barely started making money but had already caught a city tycoon''s attention!This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    After finishing his wine, Yuriel nced at the time and smilingly said, "I have some business to attend to. I won''t keep youpany any longer. Yohann, you can handle the transaction with Carlisle."


    His tone then turned serious as he added, "And be a bit more polite to Carlisle. Courtesy goes a long way in business."


    Yohann smiled in response. "I understand, sir!"


    With that, Yuriel left with a smile. He nced at Lethan''s driver, Gusto, as he reached the door.


    This didn''t go unnoticed by Carlisle. Something was wrong with Gusto!


    Yuriel hadn''t arranged for someone to monitor Carlisle. Instead, it seemed like Lethan and Shania were the ones being watched.


    "Mr. Zahn! When should we sign the contract?" Yohann''s earlier dominance had softened, and his face now bore a radiant smile like a sunflower in full bloom.


    Carlisle couldn''t be bothered to spare him a nce as he pulled out his phone and dialed Sunny''s number.


    "Boss..."


    "I''ve already negotiated with Evermore Properties. Bring the transaction documents to Imperial Hotel,"


    Carlisle instructed.


    "Yes, Boss!"


    After hanging up the phonie, Carlisle continued digging into the delicacies on the table.


    "Lethan, Carl, I''ll head back now to attend to some business at mypany."


    Shania had lost interest in staying any longer and left with those words.


    Lethan, on the other hand, drank his wine with a bitter expression. He regretted not bringing Carlisle to his own home. Surely, Yuriel wouldn''t have dared to barge Into the Warbane residence!


    In high spirits, Yohann looked at Lethan''s bitter expression and asked, "Lethan, what''s a fashion designer like you doing tagging along with Shania?"


    "I have a business rtionship with Carlisle. How is having a meal with him considered ''tagging along?"


    Lethan spat in return.


    While he was wary of Yuriel, he didn''t fear Yohann. Seeing Yohann''s smug look, he retorted and then squinted, asking. "Did you arrange for someone to tail Carlisle?"


    Yohann smilingly touched his mustache and chuckled, "Lethan, don''t be so quick to point fingers.


    "We all do legitimate business here.


    We utilize human reasonably.Wh we get someone to monitor a freshman?"


    w would I know?" Lethan snorted.


    "How


    Yohann shrugged off the remark and raised his ss. "As my cousin said, businessmen should be amicable to prosper, Lethan, please don''t hold grudges. Here, let me toast to you."


    Ignoring Yohann, Lethan took out a cigarette and lit it.


    Yohann only wore an unfazed smile as he finished his drink Whenhen turned to Carlisle, he found the young En man studying how to eat a king crab.


    A hint of disdain flickered in his eyes.


    As expected of a peasant from the countryside. Carlisle didn''t even know how to eat a king crab!


    About 40 minutes passed before Carlisle finished the crab under Lethan''s guidance.


    At that moment, Sunny arrived at the private room. He bought a briefcase and had styled his hair into a pompadour.


    "Boss..."
