Gareth walked out of the hotel expressionlessly.


    He was convinced that Carlisle was a fortune teller.


    If he hadn’t been careful, he would have led his family down the path of destruction. Plus, all the money he had put into Scarlet Corporation would have gone down the


    drain.


    As such, Gareth wanted to see Carlisle to ask if there was anything he could do to


    change his fate.


    The shimmering man–madeke at Rivend University was awash with a golden


    glow as the setting sun cast its rays over the water.


    It made for a lovely sight.


    Tucked under Carlisle’s arm and gazing at theke, Wanda mused to herself, “It <b>is</b>


    almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream.”


    When Carlisle heard Wanda recite the famous quote word for word, he looked down


    at her in surprise and asked, “Wanda, do you feel better?<b>”</b>


    Wanda did not answer him and simply stared at theke in silence.


    Carlisle sighed inwardly and tightened his arm around her, drawing her closer.


    Just then, Daniel called out to them from the nearbywn, wearing earphones that were plugged into an MP3 yer. “Hey, Carlisle! The bonfire party’s about to start! We’ll go grab seats!”


    Shane quirked his lips and pointed out, “You shouldn’t have bothered Carlisle like that, Daniel.”


    Daniel grinned. “I was only thinking of his best interests. If we go early, we could grab front–row seats and avoid having to cram with the others in the back.”


    Shane blinked. “You do realize that students have been camping out near the bonfire


    site to grab front–row seats since the afternoon, right? Even if we go now, we’d be stuck in the back row.”


    “Oh dam, I should have gone in the afternoon to grab seats for us!” Daniel smacked his forehead in frustration.


    He whined. “Word has it that a few seniors would be doing some exotic dances on


    stage, and those seniors are supposedly total babes!


    “How am I supposed to enjoy the show from the back?”


    Shane frowned. “That’s a shame, but I have a way for us to get good seats.”


    “What is it?” Daniel demanded, turning to look at Shane withical desperation


    Shane rubbed his thumb and index finger together, the implication of the gesture as clear as day. good seats came at a price.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Daniel gritted his teeth and said, “Find out how much the seats cost. I’ll grab a couple


    for Wanda and Carlisle.”


    $200 dors for a seat in the second row, and a hundred for a seat in the third,”


    Shane said.


    Frowning, Daniel pressed, “What about the first row? If I’m going to pay for seats, I might as well grab those in the first row!”


    Shane chuckled. “The first row is reserved for honored guests, all of whom were invited by the university board. Those seats aren’t for sake.”


    “Oh, fine,” Daniel conceded and pulled out bills amounting to 800 dors from his pocket. “Grab four seats in the second row. I want the middle section.”


    Shane scrunched his nose. “Mm, that’s going to cost you an extra 50 bucks for each


    seat.”


    “The hell? You’re telling me the seats cost more than entry tickets for a third–rate singer’s concert?” Daniel cursed.


    He slipped off his left sneaker and pulled out two hundred–dor bills. Both of which


    came with a pungent odor, given their hiding spot. Shane frowned but kept his


    remarks to himself.


    Just like that, Shane left with the money Daniel had given him.


    At that moment, Carlisle led Wanda to where Daniel stood.


    Daniel chuckled and <b>said</b>, “Hey, Carlisle, L…”


    “ed to take a phone call,” Carlisle interrupted him. His phone was buzzing, and he nced at the screen to see it was a call from Lethan.


    Daniel nodded. “Go ahead.”


    Carlisle answered the call and heard Lethan say, “Hey, Carlisle. Where are you? I just got an invite to the bonfire party at your campus.”


    “Come over, then. I’m at the university right now,” Carlisle said.


    “Great. I’ve got two extra seats in the front row with the other honored guests. Why


    don’t you and Wanda sit with me?” Lethan offered.


    “Sounds good,” Carlisle replied.


    “Great. See youter, then!”


    “Yeah, see you.” After hanging up, Carlisle turned to Daniel and asked, “So, what did


    you want to tell me?”


    Daniel choked. “Uh… Nothing.”
