Chapter_161
Lethan felt a bit uneasy after he finished speaking.
Carlisle’s expected price was 400 million, but Lethan had only sold it for 250 million. If he gave Carlisle
200 million, he would only have 50 million left.
Giving Carlisle 180 million would leave him with an extra 20 million. But this seemed unfair to Carlisle.
Carlisle was silent momentarily, then smiled and said, “You probably didn’t sell it for 360 million, did
you?”
He didn’t believe Lethan would sell the hotel for 360 million after buying it for 36 million. He probably
wouldn’t have sold it for even 300 million.

Lethan asked, “Just tell me if 180 million is enough. If it’s not, I’ll give you 200 million. Anyway, I’m still
profiting!”
He had thought it through. He wouldn’t have earned a penny if Carlisle hadn’t insisted on him buying
the Riverwatch Hotel.
He had already earned some goodwill by selling the Riverwatch Hotel to Shania at a low price. Giving
Carlisle 200 million out of the 250 million, he could still earn 50 million.
“180 million is enough. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you.” Carlisle smiled as he spoke, very
satisfied with the price.
He was just an 18–year–old freshman with no influence, background, or connections.
On the other hand, Lethan was a well–known billionaire. Even though he had amassed a fortune, he
couldn’t remain indifferent when facing hundreds of millions of dollars in funds.
Lethan could easily embezzle the money with his abilities, but he didn’t. Perhaps it was out of gratitude
or
for other reasons.
But no matter the reason, Lethan was someone worth befriending.
Carlisle didn’t ask for the 200 million, which touched Lethan. “Give me your bank account number, and
I’ll have Shania deposit the money directly into your account later.”
Carlisle provided Lethan with his newly opened checking account.
Then, Carlisle called Sunny.
Sunny instantly picked up the phone, sounding very excited. “Boss, property prices in Riverwatch
District have already risen to 700 per square foot. Should we continue to wait or sell them now?”
“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Carlisle said calmly. “It should rise to 900 in a few days. We’ll sell once it
surpasses 900.
The reason for the rapid rise in property prices was because property developers had already started to
take action.
However, the highest price would only reach 900 this time. Later, it might even be pushed down to
around
600. 600.
After finishing the call with Sunny, Carlisle received several calls from unfamiliar numbers. These were
all property developers who wanted to buy the nearly 50 properties from Carlisle.
After discussing prices with them, they offered as high as 780 per square foot. Carlisle rejected them
without hesitation.
This price was already very high and was comparable to property prices in Lumina. However, Carlisle
was well aware of the current price surge and was unsatisfied with the offer.
After military training ended in the afternoon, Carlisle contacted Francis to pick him up. After returning
to the dormitory and showering, Shane suddenly stopped him just as he was about to do his laundry.
“Carlisle, let me wash your clothes from now on!”
Shane’s eyes were filled with enthusiasm, and he looked at Carlisle as if he were looking at a beautiful
girl.
“Is that really necessary?”
Carlisle’s mouth twitched, wondering if this guy had some issues with his sexual orientation.
Shane snatched the hamper of clothes from Carlisle’s hands. “I’ve been doing laundry since I was five
and started doing chores at eight. Carlisle, you can rest assured!”
Carlisle smiled wryly. “Alright, so how much are you charging?”
Shane’s family was in a tight financial situation. His clothes were always patched up, and his shoes
looked like they had been worn for years..
He often helped out by running errands to buy snacks, charging a 50–cent delivery fee. Now that he
wanted to wash Carlisle’s clothes, he was clearly trying to make some money.
Shane grinned. “One dollar for summer clothes, two for winter clothes!”
Carlisle took out some change from his pocket and handed a 50–dollar bill to Shane. “Here’s 50 bucks
for you. Do my laundry for a month!”
Carlisle admired Shane for earning money through labor.
Shane took the 50 bucks and pulled out a stack of change from his pocket. “There are still about 20
days left this month. I’ll give you 30 dollars back!”
Carlisle pushed the change back with a smile. “No need for the change. You can do the laundry for me
next month, too!”
“Thank you, Carlisle!”
Shane’s eyes turned red, and then he lifted the two hampers of clothes and headed to the balcony.
