Chapter 322
Three million dollars was no small amount.
Mike had never physically harmed Carlisle in school, and Sean and Owen had already settled their
grievances. After accepting Mike’s three million as compensation, they would remain as future alumni.
Arthur and the other two eagerly accompanied Mike to his house to collect the money.
Carlisle instructed the manager to clear out two more private rooms.
As they exited the room, Melanie stood outside with arms crossed over her chest.
“Carlisle, thank you…”
She had just learned that Carlisle was the leader of this group. Without them, she would have undoubtedly been violated that night.
Melanie’s scantily clad figure was captivating, leaving everyone unable to look away. The exposed skin
caused the men around her to swallow hard.
Carlisle paused momentarily, giving Melanie a brief once–over before making a rough guess about the
situation.
He replied nonchalantly, “I was just seeking revenge. Saving you was purely coincidental.”
Melanie pursed her lips and lowered her head.
“I understand, but I still want to thank you. You saved me, and that’s a fact.”
Without saying another word to Melanie, Carlisle walked toward another private room while dialing Heath’s number on his phone.
Melanie watched as Carlisle left, surrounded by others. She then glanced down at her exposed chest. Everyone had seemed captivated by her earlier, Everyone but Carlisle, whose gaze remained clear and unaffected by her beauty and exposed skin. She figured it was perhaps because he was still young.
Melanie comforted herself with this thought and then called her roommate to bring her some clothes.
Meanwhile, Carlisle had arrived at another private room. Heath didn’t answer his call, leaving Carlisle distracted and preoccupied.
In the span of half an hour, Carlisle made three calls to Heath and five to Wade. Unfortunately, none of them went through, intensifying Carlisle’s unease.
As the waitstaff began serving dishes, many of Carlisle’s classmates approached to offer him drinks. Carlisle accepted them all and downed over a dozen shots in no time.
Finally, when Jamie approached to offer a toast, Carlisle spoke up, “Call one of your friends who hangs out with Heath.”
Jamie was puzzled.

“What should I tell them?”
“Just see if you can get through.”
“Alright.”
Jamie took out his phone and dialed his friend.
The first call didn’t connect. The second call was the same. After the third attempt, Jamie shook his head.
“I can’t get through…”
Carlisle clapped his hands.
“Everyone, quiet down!”
The occupants of the private room immediately fell silent.

With a serious tone, Carlisle continued, “Contact your friends who hang out with Heath and see if you can
reach them.”
Everyone took out their phones and began dialing.
Carlisle watched as they repeatedly tried to make calls. His heart sank.
Just then, the manager of A1 Seafood Restaurant knocked on the door and entered.
He said solemnly, “Mr. Zahn, could you step outside with me for a moment?”
Carlisle’s mood instantly plummeted.
Feeling lost, he followed the manager outside.
Once they were out, the manager led Carlisle into the adjacent private room and closed the door behind
them.
Then, in a low voice, the manager said, “I just saw on the news that there was a massive brawl at Sanctuary Resort. Over 300 police officers were deployed to quell it. It seems to involve Prince Heath’s group and Luke’s people, right?”
Although Carlisle had mentally prepared himself earlier, hearing this news still made his heart skip a beat.
He took a deep breath and tried to appear calm as he asked, “Did anyone die?”
The manager shook his head.
