Chapter 196 "I'm smart, that's how!" Carlisle replied, pursing his lips.

Gordon let out a sigh. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll have a better job soon." "But back to the main point," Carlisle continued. "Do you really think that department head would help you get such a high-paying job?" "But I can't think of anyone who would do it besides him!" Gordon replied with a confused tone.

He and Shawn both started working at the water plant ten years ago.

Their relationship was good at first. However, Shawn started to distance himself after he got to his new position. In recent years, their relationship had becincreasingly strained.

To avoid being kicked out of the water plant, Gordon would invite him to dinner now and then.

However, Shawn would use alcohol as an excuse to make things difficult for Gordon during the dinners.

In order to keep his job and support his family, Gordon had to swallow his pride and fulfill all of Shawn's requests.

Gordon thought that Shawn would help him during the layoffs this time. To his shock, his nwas on the first list of layoffs.

Yet, today, the people from Sentaur Molding Factory wanted Gordon and Hilda to join as managers.

Gordon thought Shawn was helping him out after realizing his mistake. He even planned to give him a valuable gift once he settled into the new job.

However, Carlisle's words brought Gordon back to his senses.

Shawn had been trampling on his dignity for years; he would have been elated to see Gordon suffer, so how could he possibly help Gordon get a high-paying job? Gordon reached under the couch cushion and pulled out a half-pack of Pall Mall cigarettes.

Just as he was about to light one stick up, Hilda slapped him on the face, reprimanding him, "You promised your son you wouldn't smoke. How could you smoke behind his back?" Carlisle, hearing his mother's words, grew displeased.

"Dad, you don't keep your promises, do you? I'll start smoking too, then. There are plenty of smokers in my dorm!" Gordon quickly responded, "No, I won't smoke anymore. Please don't start smoking!" Hilda promptly confiscated Gordon's cigarette before returning to the conversation. "If it's not the department head, could it be Sylvester?" Sylvester was Hayley's husband and Owen's father.

Chapter 196 -2/2 Gordon shook his head. "Sylvester is just a team leader, and his salary is only 12 hundred dollars. How could he get us a job that pays 15 hundred?" Hilda added, "Whoever it is, it's good enough as long as we can get the job." However, Gordon didn't think so. He asked Carlisle on the phone, "Carl, why don't you want Mom andto work at Sentaur?" Carlisle didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell them about the conflict he had with the richest man In Riverland, could he? If he did, his parents probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Because I'm making money now. I can make sure you and Mom will live well!" Carlisle announced with confidence and pride.

Gordon chuckled at that. "Did you release sequipment in that gagain?"

"Not really. I've opened a gaming stuhere. I can probably earn tens of thousands each month. Isn't that more than enough to keep you and Mom comfortable?" "Tens... of thousands?" Gordon stuttered, almost choking on his saliva.

Like buying the lottery, gaming equipment was just a matter of luck with very low odds of winning.

But when Carlisle said he opened a gaming stuand could earn tens of thousands each month, wasn't that akin to running a factory? "Yup! I can easily make 20 to 30 thousand." Knowing that it would shock his parents, Carlisle didn't tell them about his wealth of millions.

Moreover, this money was to be used for investment. There There was no point in telling them now. He could let them ET.

know once his wealth was stable.

Gordon's mouth suddenly felt dry as he hesitatingly asked, "Carl. You're not doing anything illegal, are you? Can you really make that much money with something like that?" X
