Chapter 187 Shania turned pale instantly upon hearing Yuriel's words.
Had Carlisle already negotiated the price with Yuriel? Why didn't he mention it earlier? He had given her false hope! While Shania could do without the luxury homes in Carlisle's possession, the karaoke spot and ice skating rink held significant commercial value.
She wanted to speak up and negotiate with Yuriel but ultimately restrained herself.
As she knew about Yuriel's ruthless ways, she was aware that being allowed to keep one property would already be considered a great favor.

Meanwhile, Carlisle continued to indulge in the delicacies. Although he wasn't particularly refined, he was mindful and didn't have a trace of grease on his lips.
Beside Yuriel, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline tapped the table and reminded Carlisle, "Kid, the chairman is talking to you!" The man was Yohann Gust, Yuriel's cousin and Evermore Properties' vice president. He also knew about how Carlisle was from the countryside and lacked power and influence.
It was Yuriel who had spent a hefty sum to purchase that promising property from Carlisle. Carlisle wouldn't have had money to buy those properties in Riverwatch District otherwise.
Everything Carlisle had was given by Yuriel. Now that Yuriel had humbled himself and was personally negotiating a collaboration with Carlisle, Carlisle actually dared to act so indifferently! "So, you do realize that your chairman is speaking to me." Carlisle took a few tissues from the tissue box to wipe his mouth.
His gaze was piercing as he continued, "Didn't Mr. Gust tell you that you shouldn't interrupt during business talks?" "You..." "Shut it!" Yuriel hissed and glared at Yohann who promptly closed his mouth.
There was a hint of shock in Shania's eyes.
Wasn't Carlisle being too audacious for reprimanding Yuriel's subordinate right in front of Yuriel? Shouldn't Carlisle have at least considered how Yohann was one of Yuriel's men before he ridiculed him, especially considering that Yohann was Yuriel's cousin? Chapter 187 22 Lethan's heart also raced.
Had Carlisle bectoo arrogant because of his wealth? Was he disregarding even the richest man in Riverland? However, Yuriel continued to take a puff of his cigar before he turned his gaze back to Carlisle, his face showing a genial smile.
"It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. I hope I didn't embarrass myself, Carlisle."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarlisle put on a small smile. “Don't worry, Mr. Gust. I have a habit of not talking during meals, which is why I didn't reply immediately earlier.” "Haha! I don't mind at all. You can just answer now," Yuriel said, tapping his cigar on the ashtray.
Taking a deep breath, Carlisle confessed, "Mr. Gust, I must m apologize. I sold all the properties I had on hand to Windex Corporation before you arrived." The air grew heavy the moment Carlisle said those words. Everyone at the table stared at Carlisle in disbelief.
Hadn't they already agreed on the price? Was Carlisle standing Yuriel up? Suddenly, Yohann slammed the table as he jumped to his feet in anger.
"Carlisle Zahn, is this how you conduct your business? Let's not talk about you raising the price out of nowhere our chairman personally cto discuss a collaboration with you, and yet you're going back on your word!" X
