Chapter 16

Jerome noticed Carlisle and Alice too. He was no less surprised than Wendy.

Carlisle the loser is having a meal with the school belle?

What right did he have? Although he didn’t know how Carlisle became rich suddenly, in his heart, Carlisle was still the trash he had toyed with. He immediately put his arm around Wendy’s waist and walked over.

“Carlisle, what a coincidence. You’re here too?” Jerome went forward to greet him.

However, his eyes were still fixed on Alice. The more he looked at her, the more tempted he became. Wendy was also considered beautiful, but she was far inferior to Alice.

“Alice is here too? Great, you don’t mind if we share a table?” Although he said that, he had already sat down.

He even sat next to Alice and looked over. Outsiders would think Jerome was hugging two women.

But Alice suddenly stood up and said coldly, “Did I say you could sit?”

She had heard of Wendy and Jerome from Mary, and she could guess what kind of person Jerome was from the situation in front of her. Of course, she would not be nice to such a person.

Jerome’s face stiffened. In what way was he inferior to Carlisle? Alice could eat and laugh with Carlisle, but she was giving him attitude.

Still, to maintain his image, he did not dare to say anything to Alice. He could only transfer all his resentment to Carlisle.

Alice didn’t care what Jerome was thinking. She walked out from the side and sat intimately beside Carlisle, holding his arm.

“Darling, let’s go somewhere else. I’m a little sick of it.” She glanced at Jerome discreetly.

Jerome’s face turned green.

/Can you be any more obvious?

Carlisle was also stunned, but looking at Alice’s sly gaze, he immediately understood.

“Now that you mention it, dear, I think so too. This restaurant is good in every way, but it attracts flies. I have to give feedback to the owner. If he keeps letting flies in, how can he do business?”

“Come on, love,” he said and wrapped his arm around Alice’s waist as he prepared to leave.

Alice blushed slightly, but she did not stop Carlisle. Carlisle had given her e-gifts of more than a million. This could be considered repayment, and she did not dislike Carlisle.

“Wait.” Jerome couldn’t hold it in any longer. Everyone was mocking him openly and covertly. Did they really think he didn’t exist?

“Carlisle, you’re really bold! How dare you lie to the school belle!”

Carlisle stopped in his tracks when he heard this. Seeing that Jerome seemed to have something on him, Carlisle was interested. He wanted to see what Jerome could do.

“Alice, let me tell you. This person is extremely vain. To please Shirley from the art faculty, he didn’t hesitate to borrow money from loan sharks to pretend to be rich. He spent six to seven hundred thousand to buy branded clothes to please her.”

Jerome looked confident. In his opinion, that was most likely the case. Carlisle’s money was definitely not his own. He wanted to expose him in public and let Alice see Carlisle’s true colors.

However, he was disappointed. He did not see any surprise on Alice’s face. Instead, she looked at him as if he was a fool.

Of course, Alice couldn’t believe Jerome’s words. Carlisle had given her more than a million in the stream alone. What loan shark could borrow two million? Wouldn’t the loan shark consider whether it could be paid?

Carlisle was the same. He thought Jerome had some tricks up his sleeves, but it turned out to be a joke.

Then, he stopped paying attention to the clown and hugged Alice as he prepared to leave.

Wendy suddenly spoke. She couldn’t accept Carlisle leaving with another woman in his arms.

“I can also testify that Carlisle must have borrowed money from a loan shark. He had to spend more than half a year to buy a platinum ring. It’s impossible for him to suddenly be so rich!”

This was also what she had been wondering. Why did Carlisle suddenly become rich as soon as he left her?

Alice was still calm, but the way she looked at Wendy was filled with pity. She clearly had an affectionate man like Carlisle, and he was a low-key, rich second-generation heir, but she did not know how to cherish him.

Wendy was a little annoyed. What was that look in Alice’s eyes? Was she mocking her? Or was she pitying her?

Carlisle really didn’t want to talk to this brainless couple anymore. He didn’t even bother to look at them as he walked towards the door with Alice in his arms.

Wendy refused to give up.

“You’re not allowed to leave. I won’t let you lie to Alice!” Wendy said righteously.

She couldn’t let Carlisle go without figuring out what happened to Carlisle today!

Alice was also shocked by Wendy’s shamelessness. She was about to speak up for Carlisle when he stood up.

He finally realized that if he did not make Wendy give up, he would never have peace in the future.

“Didn’t you say that I borrowed money from loan sharks? Fine, I’ll show you how ridiculous you are!”

Jerome and Wendy were dumbfounded, not knowing what Carlisle wanted to do.

Carlisle casually walked to the counter and borrowed a microphone from the lady boss. This microphone was usually used to call queue numbers, but today, Carlisle was going to use it to do something different.

“All customers present, look over here,” Carlisle said slowly.

Everyone in the restaurant looked over.

Immediately after, Carlisle continued, “Today, I’m here to deliver money to everyone. Do you see the man and woman over there? As long as you scold that woman ‘whore’, you can come to me and collect ten thousand dollars. If you scold that man ‘adulterer’, twenty thousand! I mean what I say!”

“Carlisle, you’re out of your mind!” Jerome looked shocked and furious. He didn’t expect Carlisle to do this.

However, on second thought, Carlisle should not be able to pull it off. There were at least two hundred people here. If these people came to scold them, Carlisle would have to spend at least two million!

How was that possible? He couldn’t even fork out so much money.

Wendy also looked embarrassed and angry. Although she had never admitted that she had betrayed Carlisle, her relationship with Jerome was indeed dishonorable. Now that she was picked out, she felt a little ashamed.

However, she also did not believe that Carlisle had such capability.

“Are you serious? You can earn ten to twenty thousand just by scolding people?”

“Are you serious about going? I mean how is that possible? If it’s true, there are so many people here. He would have to spend at least two million. That person looks about the same age as us. He should also be a student. How can he fork out so much money!”

“What if it’s true?”
