Chapter 56
Just then, Sarah received another phone call.
It was from Kelvin.
She picked up her phone and answered it. “Is something wrong, Kelvin?”
With his face swollen, Kelvin mumbled incoherently, “Sarah, I have some major news!”
Sarah asked, feeling intrigued, “What is it? Are you eating? Your speech is unclear.”
“No. My gums are just a bit inflamed, that’s all.”
Kelvin was obviously unwilling to admit that his face was swollen from being punched, so he randomly
came up with an excuse.
Sarah didn’t think much of it and continued to ask, “What news?”
“Your high school class monitor, Wanda, has a boyfriend!”
“What?”
Sarah immediately thought of Carlisle. Her eyes widened as she asked, “Did you see them?”
Kelvin asked in surprise, “You already knew about this?”
A wave of discontent surged through Sarah as she muttered to herself, “Have they really gotten together?”
But Carlisle clearly liked her first!
Wanda merely tutored him for a month.
There was no way Carlisle couldn’t possibly be interested in Wanda.
Apart from her studies and family background, she surpassed Wanda in every aspect.
*Her boyfriend owns the hotel you’re staying in! ver imagined that the seemingly innocent Wanda would find herself a sugar daddy!”
Resentment was on Kelvin’s face. He planned to spread this news to their class group chat.
Since Wanda’s boyfriend hit him, Kelvin was going to make sure she could never hold her head high again.
in their class.
“What did you say? Wanda found herself a sugar daddy?”
Sarah’s expression eased up.
It was just as she had thought, Carlisle was clearly interested in her, so how could he possibly like Wanda?
“That’s right. After you went upstairs, Wanda and a man walked into the hotel. The hotel’s security guards
claimed that the man is the owner!”

Kelvin deliberately left out the part where he was beaten up.
Upon hearing this, Sarah clicked her tongue and exclaimed, “No wonder Wanda is so rich. It’s because she found herself a sugar daddy!”
Kelvin rubbed his swollen face and said sinisterly, “Sarah, you should share this news with the class chat. I want to end Wanda’s reputation!”
“Do you have bad blood with Wanda?” Sarah asked.
“She annoys me!” Kelvin huffed.
“I think you should look for someone else. I’m not fit to share this news!”
group
Wanda had quite the influence in their class. If Sarah were to spread this news in their class group chat, the classmates who supported her would surely bad–mouth her behind her back.
Kelvin sighed, “Alright. I’ll think of something else!”
Meanwhile, Carlisle and Sean were sitting in front of the computer playing The Mystical Journey.
Sean wasn’t really interested in these types of turn–based strategy games and complained, “These games
are no fun at all! It’s so boring!”
“Go play The Legendary Tale, then!”
Carlisle didn’t force Sean into playing. After all, in the future, their studio would be divided into three
departments anyway.
If really necessary, he could just assign Sean and Owen to manage The Legendary Tale.
“You aren’t mad, are you?” Sean chuckled awkwardly.
Carlisle blankly replied, “Why would I be mad? The only reason I’m playing The Mystical Journey is to
understand the market!”
Sean looked at Carlisle with a deep gaze. He suddenly felt as if he couldn’t quite understand Carlisle.
Ever since Carlisle decided to move on from Sarah, he began studying hard and went from an underachiever to a top student. Later, he was lucky enough to acquire the extremely rare Heavenly Sword in The Legendary Tale and sold it for a staggering 80 thousand dollars.
As for Carlisle’s psychic abilities, it was something Sean found hard to believe. Yet, he couldn’t seem to find another explanation for Carlisle’s accurate predictions.
“Carlisle, you aren’t some sort of time traveler, are you?” Sean asked jokingly.
Carlisle’s hand paused before he turned to Sean with a smile. “If I said I am, would you believe me?”
