Chapter 276 Heath, Benjamin, and Owen were standing in front of a BMW parked nearby, Heath's arm was in a sling. and Owen was sporting bruises on his face. The latter also looked like he had lost weight since a week ago.
Benjamin gave Carlisle an earnest smile as he said, "Hey, Carlisle. It's been a while.” Carlisle returned his smile. “Tell your men to fall back.” He had only just said this when the sound of fighting broke out behind him. Carlisle shook his head in exasperation as he made his way to his Mazda.
"Carlisle," Owen called out, catching up to him. "I've given it sthought, and I figured I'm better off working at the studio." Carlisle slid into his car and asked Indifferently, "Why the change of mind?" Benjamin laughed as he interjected, "Because he almost died." Assessing the bruises on Owen's face, Carlisle asked, "Who did that to you?" Owen flushed red. "It doesn't matter. Can we talk about something else?" Carlisle's lips curled. "I saved you a spot at the studio. You can go back anytime." After exchanging pleasantries with Heath and the others, Carlisle had Francis drive away.
They had driven quite sdistance before Daniel snapped out of his daze and exclaimed, "I can't believe you've got Prince Heath working for you! You're amazing, Carlisle!" Carlisle ignored him and instead turned to ask Olivia, 'Do you need money that badly?" Olivia pursed her lips and nodded. "My mom's suffering from late-stage uremia and requires dialysis to stay alive. The medical expenses pile up every month." "I doubt 1800 dollars is enough to cover them," Carlisle pointed out after a beat of silence.

Daniel sighed. "I have a cousin-in-law who has uremia. It's not exactly curable. Unless the patient undergoes a kidney transplant, dialysis is the only way for them to stay alive." Olivia wiped away her tears. "After my mom was diagnosed with uremia, my dad divorced her and left the family. almy "The money from Shane and thy wages from my part-tjob aren't enough to cover the cost olmy mom's dialysis." Carlisle had assumed responsibility over Olivia the moment he stepped into that hair salon to rescue her. You should focus on your studies. Letworry about your mom's treatment costs." 1800 dollars was equivalent to two months' worth of medical bills, then Olivia's momte dialysis would cost just over ten thousand dollars a year. Carlisle could afford to help.
"You... Olivia gaped at Carlisle. “Are you serious about this?" "Do I look like I'm joking?" Carlisle's lips twitched into a smile.
Olivia shook her head in disbelief. This man before her had risked his life to save her-she doubted he was the type to joke about these sorts of things.
"Thank you! I promise to pay you back after I graduate and get a job!" Olivia lowered her head and let her tears fall. The thought that she nearly sold her virginity filled her with shame.
She owed Shane far too much, and now, she was indebted to his roommate as well. Carlisle wouldn't have offered to help her if he weren't Shane's friend.
"Where to, Boss?" Francis asked from the driver's seat.
*A1 Seafood Restaurant," Carlisle answered. "Daniel, call Shane and have him meet us there for lunch." "Roger that!" Daniel pulled out his phone and gave Shane a call.
Olivia felt uneasy as she said, "Could you guys letoff at that corner over there? I need to go to the hospital to see my mom." Carlisle said nothing, and as such, Francis kept driving.
Olivia gave Carlisle a pleading look. "I want to get off." Carlisle smiled at her humorlessly and questioned, "You're afraid of seeing Shane, aren't you?"

Besides, it's not as if you actually sold yourself," Carlisle reminded. "Wait, he doesn't know? How did you guys find out about it then?" Olivia asked. Neither Carlisle nor Daniel offered her an explanation.
Upon arriving at Al Seafood Restaurant, Carlisle was told by the receptionist that the private dining rooms were all occupied.
With two universities recently finishing their orientation programs, many students had gathered at the прапу restaurant to blow off ssteam, As such, Carlisle had the staff set up a table outside.
Meanwhile, Wanda was dining with one of her clients in a private dining room on the second floor.
The client was a man in his 40s, and next to him was a plump woman.
Christine couldn't stop staring at them. The man looked somewhat familiar to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Wanda suddenly looked up and asked him, "Is your surnZahn?"
