Female NovelChapter 326
Carlisle explained, “Owen was always skipping school to go online and hang out with the wrong crowd. I
was worried he’d go down the wrong path. So when I decided to start a business in college, I brought him
along to work for me.”
Gabriel nodded.
“Go on…”
“I opened a game studio, but we were short–staffed. Owen introduced Heath to me, and he started working at my studio. Later, when Heath needed money to start his own business, I lent him 15 million.”
“So, you’re saying you didn’t know about his involvement in underground activities?”
“I found out later and tried to talk him out of it, but it didn’t work…”
Carlisle’s responses flowed smoothly, with hardly any flaws…
Gabriel was about to ask more questions when a lady approached and knocked on the car window.
It was Melanie.
As Gabriel towered the window, he noticed Melanie’s bruised face.
He furrowed his brows and asked, “What happened to your face?”
Melanie saw Carlisle sitting beside her father and exclaimed, “Carlisle?”
Carlisle looked equally surprised but smiled and replied, “What a coincidence. Nice to see you again so
soon.
Gabriel spoke sternly, “I’ll talk to you later.”
Melanie blinked and turned back to Carlisle, saying. “Carlisle, do you have time tomorrow? I want to treat. you to a meal to thank you for saving me.”
Gabriel, noticing Melanie’s injuries, asked in a deep voice, “What happened? Who hurt you?”
Tearing up, Melanie explained, “It was one of my classmates. He took me out for drinks, got drunk, and then tried to take advantage of me. Fortunately, Carlisle saved me.”
Gabriel sniffed and detected the scent of alcohol on Melanie
He grimaced and sternly said, “What were you doing drinking? Who tried to take advantage of you? I’ll
bring him in for attempted assault!”
“There’s no need. He’s already been dealt with. He won’t dare to touch me again,” Melanie said.
Worried about implicating Carlisle, she quickly made an excuse before turning away.
Gabriel sighed in resignation.
Then he said to Carlisle, “I’ll keep investigating. I hope you’re not lying to me…
Carlisle gave a slight smile.
“I’m here to cooperate with the officers at any time.”
Gabriel suddenly asked, “How did you make so much money in such a short time?”
Carlisle chuckled.
“It’s a trade secret!”
Gabriel didn’t press further when Carlisle dodged the question. After all, he had already examined Carlisle’s bank accounts, and his money sources were very clear.
Gabriel’s expression softened a bit.
“Give me your phone number. If there are any issues, I’ll contact you.”
Carlisle gave his phone number to Gabriel.
Then he asked, “May I go now?”
Gabriel nodded.
Carlisle opened the door, got out, and headed toward Lethan.
The officer in the passenger seat said in a low voice, “Boss, this kid is really something!”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes. novelbin
“Indeed. He’s calm, composed, and doesn’t seem like a typical 17 or 18–year–old. It would make sense if he were from one of those famous business families, but his parents are just ordinary workers.”
“Are we heading back to the station now?”
“You
guys head on back. I’ll deal with my daughter’s situation first.”
Lethan dropped Carlisle off at the studio.
After getting out of the car, Lethan finally said what he had been thinking, “I think you should mend fences with Gareth as soon as possible, just in case.”
“I know,” Carlisle replied with a smile before heading into the studio.
Owen and the others stood up to greet him, but Benjamin sat by the window lost in thought. When he heard the others call out to Carlisle, he quickly turned to look.
Carlisle walked over and sat on the couch by the window.
Benjamin couldn’t wait any longer.
“Carl, how’s my brother?”
He had already heard that his brother was seriously injured and undergoing surgery at the hospital. He

also heard that there were people from the police department present, so he didn’t dare to go.
“Your brother has come out of surgery. He’s okay…”
Carlisle’s face lit up with a natural smile.
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, repeating, “That’s good, that’s good!”
Carlisle picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and then asked, “How many people did your
take with him ?”
