Chapter 297
“Mr. Spencer, you’re flattering me.” Lethan smiled stiffly as he sat across from Gareth.
The family name “Spencer” was very rare, but it was also the name of a very prominent family in Yorksle.
The former mayor of Yorksle was surnamed Spencer, and so was the chairman of Yorksle Culture and
Tourism Board.
Although Shein didn’t say it aloud, Lethan had made the deduction himself.
This person in front of him was the grandson of the former mayor of Yorksle, and the chairman of the Culture and Tourism Board should be his father.
They were in a top–class private room, but there were only five dishes on the table.
Lethan was a little displeased by that. He was at least a pioneer in Riverland’s fashion industry. Even if this was a meal with malicious intentions, it should not be this humble.
“My father has taught me not to waste food since a young age, so I didn’t order many dishes. Please forgive me if it’s not to your standards.”
Gareth smiled politely, then he opened a bottle of wine and poured the drink into two glasses. He stood up and placed one in front of Lethan.
It was the tradition of the Spencer family to not waste food, a principle Gareth had internalized since childhood. Even though he had made over 100 million dollars in business over the years, he remained
steadfast to this commitment.
He would pay a million dollars to listen to a song, but food wastage was never an option.
When the wine glass was placed in front of Lethan, Gareth flashed a polite smile.
Lethan nodded in understanding and smiled after listening to Gareth’s explanation. “Not at all, there is already plenty of food.”
Gareth happily made a toast. “Mr. Warbane, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come. Here’s to you.” Then, he downed the wine in one go.
Lethan was secretly relieved to learn that Gareth meant no harm.
He liked being friends with straightforward people.
Since Gareth was without pretense, it was probably not a bad thing that he sought Lethan out.
After finishing his glass of wine, Gareth opened another bottle, placed it in the middle of the table, and gestured for Lethan to take it.
Gareth poured himself a full glass of wine with the previous bottle and revealed, “I invited you here
because I want to know more about Carlisle.”
Lethan, who was filling his own glass with wine, was startled when he heard Gareth mentioning Carlisle.

He stopped pouring the wine and forced a smile. “Carlisle is just a freshman in college. We haven’t known
each other for long.”
He may sound perfunctory, but he was telling the truth.
Carlisle first predicted what was about to happen to Lethan and saved his life. Then, he predicted the successful development of Riverwatch District. Later, he predicted that there would be a horrible cold spell at the end of this year.
Carlisle confessed that he could tell fortunes.
Lethan didn’t quite believe his explanation, but he couldn’t find other reasons to explain Carlisle’s newfound ability. Therefore, it was true that he didn’t know much about Carlisle.
Gareth asked cautiously, “Does Carlisle know how to tell fortunes?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Lethan nodded after a moment of hesitation. “Yes!”
Since Gareth asked this question, he must have met Carlisle and had his fortune told. He didn’t believe Carlisle’s words, so he checked Carlisle’s background and found Lethan in the mix.
Gareth asked again, “Can you tell me in detail?”
Lethan looked up at Gareth and then lifted his wine glass to take a sip. “I owe Carlisle big time, so I won’t reveal too much about him–but if he has ever told you your fortunes, you’d better listen to him.”
Gareth had expected Lethan to be protective of Carlisle’s secrets. He just smiled slightly and inquired,” Did Carlisle advise you to buy Riverwatch Hotel?”
