Chapter 185
Lethan, who had reserved the private room in advance, notified the waiter to serve their food.
Meanwhile, Shania asked Carlisle with a smile, "What's your major, Mr. Zahn?"
"Please don't call me that, Ms. Warbane. Just call me Lyle or Carl," Carlisle exclaimed.
Carlisle had already set his mind on Wanda. Since Wanda's aunt would be his family too, he felt it was best to behave for their first meeting.
"Alright. I'm straightforward, so let's skip the formalities. I'll just call you Lyle or Carl from now on," Shania mentioned without holding back.
After informing the waiter to serve the dishes, Lethan returned to his seat. "Carlisle," he smirked, "tell me honestly. How far have you gotten with Wanda?"
Those words piqued Shania's interest.
"Exactly! Lyle, how did you manage to woo Wanda? She promised her mother she wouldn't date until she finished college!" Shania exclaimed.
Carlisle let out a sigh. "Wanda and I have just started dating, but we've encountered some obstacles."
Shania and Lethan exchanged glances, immediately understanding what Carlisle meant by that.
Lethan grunted, explaining. "Things indeed are a little troublesome. Shein's family has some issues."
"What's so troublesome?" Shania asked with a chuckle. "You'll soon have 200 million in assets. That's enough for you to rank among the top 100 wealthiest individuals in Riverland, no?
"I don't think Shein would refuse such a promising young man."
Lethan opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
Indeed, having over 200 million in assets could secure a spot on the top 100 list of wealthy individuals in Riverland.
However, there was still a high chance that Shein would shut the door on Carlisle.
The reason was simple-Carlisle hailed from the countryside. He lacked a commercial foundation and connections to provide substantial assistance and support to the Thompson family.
But Shania wasn't worried about all that. She smilingly announced, "Carl, feel free to boldly pursue your relationship with Wanda, I support you!"
Despite her words, Carlisle gleaned some information from Lethan's expression. It seemed that marrying Wanda might be more difficult than he had imagined.
But it didn't matter. As long as Wanda loved him, he would strive and fight for her.
200 million was just the beginning. In the future, Carlisle would stand above all! Chapter 185
The waiter soon began serving the dishes, presenting a table full of delicacies from both sea and land, highlighted by a glistening roasted whole suckling pig.
It was even more extravagant than the deluxe set menu at A1 Seafood Restaurant.
Lethen proceeded to uncork a bottle of 1982 Lafite and poured three glasses, placing them in front of himself and the others.
Meanwhile, Shania cut a piece of meat from the roasted pork with her knife and fork before placing it on Carlisle's plate.
"Carl," she urged, "try this roasted pig. It's delicious."
"Thank you, Ms. Warbane." Carlisle smiled shyly as he picked up his fork and tooka Bite.
The crispy golden skin and aromatic flavor burst in his mouth, leaving him wanting more.
"How is it? Isn't it good?" Shania cut herself a piece and asked with a smile.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Carlisle nodded. "It's excellent!" he praised.
Lethan chuckled at his reaction. "The chef who prepared this is of national-level standard. In fact, national-level s m
Imperial Hotel's manager only got him to be the head chef here after several tries!"
He then raised his wine glass. "Let's celebrate our collaboration!"
Shania and Carlisle also raised their glasses and clinked them with Lethan's.
Just as they were about to drink, they suddenly heard a knock at the door. Shania asked in confusion, "Are there more dishes coming?"
