Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel

Chapter 581

Zachary thought that spending 15 thousand to humiliate Carlisle was absolutely worth it.

Uninterested in Zachary's taunt, Carlisle sat on the bench and said to Jack, "Order, please."

Jack placed a menu on the table.

Carlisle pushed it toward Sharon and said, "Take a look and order whatever you want."

"N-No, I'll leave the ordering to you," Sharon said nervously.

She hadn't expected this Riverland University student to be the person impersonating her brother. She wondered why he would do that.

After all, he had paid her parents 200 thousand dollars enough to buy two houses in a small town—to acquire her brother's identity. She pondered if he was doing so for illegal purposes.

Carlisle did not bother with the menu and told Jack, "Just bring out all your specialties and add two vegetarian dishes."

Jack took the menu and headed to the kitchen, not even concerned about whether they could finish the dishes.

After paying five thousand to the patrons who sold their tables, Zachary instructed, "Waiter, bring all the specialties for my three tables as well."

The specialties at this diner were priced between four and eight dollars each, so ordering all of them would cost about 150 only.

Half an hour later, Carlisle's table was already set with his ordered dishes. The kitchen's efficiency was indeed impressive.

The table was filled with cheeseburgers, spaghetti, roast duck salad, fish and chips, grilled vegetables, stuffed bell peppers, pumpkin soup, roasted potatoes, and grilled chicken breast.

Sharon's mouth watered when she saw the array of delicious dishes. However, she didn't dare start eating until Carlisle and Wendell did.

Suddenly, her stomach growled loudly, betraying her hunger.

Wendell smiled and asked, "Hungry?"

"Hungry? Duh! Didn't he hear my stomach growling?" Sharon thought, but she still shook her head and blushed. "Not really," she said, her eyes fixed on the enticing roast duck.

Sharon glanced at Carlisle, who was outside on the phone and sighed inwardly, wondering how long the call would take.

As another five minutes passed, Sharon's hunger grew more intense. Finally, Carlisle finished his call and returned to his seat.

Sharon's spirits lifted immediately, and she was ready to grab her fork.

"I need to make another call," Carlisle suddenly said.

Sharon chugged all the water from her cup in frustration.

Noticing her discomfort, Wendell said, "Sharon's stomach is growling."

Carlisle looked at Sharon, slightly surprised.

Sharon lowered her head and whispered embarrassedly, "I didn't have breakfast this morning."

"Get started without me," Carlisle said before leaving with his phone.

With Carlisle's permission, Sharon quickly took a piece of roast duck for herself, saying, "I'll help myself then, Mr. Webb."

Carlisle had just finished a call with Gareth. Gareth had contacted the cyber monitoring department. After providing evidence of their website being hacked, the department finally relented.

Hank had successfully repelled the hacker attack and fixed the website's vulnerabilities.

When Carlisle returned to his seat, he noticed a missed call from Solomon Potter on his phone, so he returned the call outside.

"What have you found out?"

"Paradise Fishery is currently owned by six people. Yara Lyon holds 38%, Yosef Lyon's uncle, Charles Lyon, holds 22%, and Yosef's four brothers-Zeke, Salem, Darwin, and Levi-each hold 10% of the company.

"The four brothers were previously at odds, causing a mess in the company. Now the four stand united, giving them more influence than Yara in the company with their collective 40% stake in the company."

"What's the market value of Paradise Fishery?"

"About 1.5 billion."
