Chapter 281 "He wouldn't say that for no reason, right?" Gerard questioned her with a cold face.

"Are you saying that I wronged him?" Maria's smile froze. She didn't expect that her husband, who had always doted on her, would speak up for Carlisle.

"Carl, cright in. Let's just ignore her." Gerard joyfully pulled Carlisle into the private room. Maria tried to go in herself, but Gerard had already closed the door.

Gerard felt sorry for treating his wife like this in order to get the loan, but it couldn't be helped.

"Gerard, you bastard! Are you really going to treatlike this? Cout this instant!" Maria kicked the door furiously from outside.

Hearing the commotion, waiters and security guards soon cto stop her.

Maria had always been conceited, and she would not let these staff members stop her. As such, she immediately cussed them out.

It's a good thing that these security guards were no pushovers. They quickly carried her away regardless of the vulgarities she spewed.

Inside, Phoebe had already calmed down. She was confused to see Carlisle arrive in such a short time, so she asked in disbelief, “Carlisle, did you fly here?" "I was also having dinner here," Carlisle explained with a smile.

"Carlisle, sit here!" Christine, who sat next to Wanda, gave up her seat for Carlisle.

"Thank you." Carlisle thanked her and took her seat.

Jenny took a skeptical look at Carlisle. This particularly good-looking boy seemed to have an unusual relationship with Wanda.

Carlisle sat next to Wanda, while Phoebe passed him a new set of cutlery.

At this moment, Gerard said with a grin, “Carlisle, your college entrance celebration was on the sday as my daughter's, so I couldn't attend yours. I hope you didn't mind." Wanda and Carlisle were said to be classmates, and she would certainly know that Gerard didn't attend Carlisle's college entrance celebration. Therefore, Gerard thought to explain himself.

Carlisle smiled and said, “I know. You held her college entrance celebration at the restaurant opposite to where we had mine." Gerard grimaced at the unexpected bluntness. He had reminded Carlisle over the phone to speak nicely so as not to be laughed at by others. Yet, he got him in trouble right away.

Wanda understood what Carlisle meant, so she said to Gerard with a smile, "Too bad both celebrations Chapter 281 were held on the sday. It's perfectly normal for you to hold a college entrance celebration for your daughter." Gerard was secretly relieved as Wanda seemed to comprehend him.

However, Wanda asked curiously the next moment, “Did Mr. Zahn give you a gift, Carlisle?" Gerard becnervous again upon hearing that, and he looked pleadingly at Carlisle.

"He didn't giveanything." Carlisle glanced at Gerard casually.

Not only did Gerard not give him a gift, he also purposely held his daughter's college entrance celebration across the street-on the exact sday, no less.

He even invited all the neighbors to his daughter's college entrance celebration. He obviously did so to humiliate Carlisle's family.

Wanda looked innocently at Gerard while asking, “Mr. Zahn, my father is also a businessman. He taughtthat businessmen have to look at the long term, especially when it comes to relationships.

"I still don't quite understand what he meant by that, could you perhaps explain it to me?" Gerard could tell that Wanda was being sarcastic. He was embarrassed and forced a smile. “Then, did your father tell you that businessmen should value profits?"

"He did, but he also said that family is more important than money. We shouldn't prioritize profits over our family. we're blinded by money and En: lose our conscience, we'll only get a bad reputation!" Wanda spoke softly, but her words made Gerard feel ashamed.

Wanda continued, "I'm not cursing you, but can you guarantee that the rest of your life will be smooth sailing? Are you so sure that Carlisle and his family won't have the chance to turn the tables in the future?" Gerard sighed softly and said, "You're right, Ms. Thompson. I was too narrow-minded." Those were the words that left his mouth, but Gerard was only feeling contempt.

So what if Carlisle's family could turn the table? He would be collaborating with Windex Corporation soon. The upcoming project alone could earn him at least 3 million dollars.

Carlisle's family wouldn't be able to make 3 million dollars in their lifetime.

"Everyone likes money, but money isn't everything. I hope Mr. Zahn can put family first in the future as there are things that money can't buy," Wanda added like an experienced elder. She only hoped that Carlisle would get along with Gerard and his family. "Ms. Thompson, I've learned from your advice. I'll keep it in mind for the future," Gerard said with his head hung low, like a child who had made a mistake.
