Chapter 508
Sarah put on a false smile and said, "It's getting late, so you guys should get going. I want to go to bed."
After seeing off her friends, Sarah closed the door and sank down to the floor. She began crying as she leaned back.
She did not know why she was crying.
She just felt very upset.
Her phone rang on the table, and she wiped away her tears and went to get it.
It was an unsaved number, but Sarah immediately recognized it as Carlisle's.
After all, this number once sent her messages and called her every day.
At the time, she had been capricious and rarely answered his calls or replied to his messages.
Sarah hesitated and picked up. She said in a choked voice, "Carlisle..."
Carlisle said impassively, "Sarah, are you done with your tricks?"
Sarah felt a little guilty. "W-what did I do?"
He said icily, "You know exactly what you did. I'm warning you, this is the last time. If you do this again, even Yuriel won't be able to save you!"
His ice-cold voice felt like a stab in her heart.
Before she could protest, he hung up.
Ten minutes before calling Sarah, Carlisle went looking for Daniel as soon as Sheldon left. The two of them accosted one of the Eastvale students who had been making a fuss.
"Which university are you from, and what are you trying to do?" they asked.
The student stared nervously at Carlisle and Daniel.
Carlisle immediately took out two thousand dollars in cash. "Answer my question, and two thousand dollars will be yours. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret."
The student looked at the cash Carlisle was holding, and his heart skipped a beat. He stared hungrily at the money, swallowed, and asked, "What's your question? Go ahead and ask!" Carlisle asked, "Did someone order you to cause trouble at this event?"
The student remained silent.
Daniel pressed his shoulder. "Tell the truth, and nothing will happen. If you lie, you'll be sure to regret it!"
Carlisle said, "I just want a firm answer. I won't pursue this matter further!"
Reassured, the student nodded gently. "We each got one thousand!"
Carlisle continued asking, "Who gave the order?"
The student shook his head and said, "I can't tell you that."
Daniel looked aggressively at him and said through gritted teeth, "Damn you! I'm going to beat you up!"
The student said, "Even if you beat me up, I won't tell you. They know my address, and if I give them up, my family will be in trouble!"
"You're already going astray despite your young age. Get lost!" Daniel kicked the student's calf.
The student said in a low voice, "What about the money?"
Carlisle put the money back in his pocket, and his expression was cold as he said, "I'm already showing you mercy by not calling the police. Are you actually going to ask me for money?"
The student's face twitched violently when he realized he had been tricked.
He glared at them and ran off to a nearby collection point where the university distributed free milk in the mornings.
Carlisle was sure these students had been acting under someone's orders, and he immediately suspected Sarah.
He called her to ask.
Sarah's guilty stuttering made Carlisle more confident that she was the one who had done it.
As they had been classmates in high school, he chose to give her a chance.
If Sarah continued to make things difficult for him, he would not show her any mercy despite their history together.
Carlisle returned to Willow Grove and saw Gareth's Ferrari at the entrance.
Gareth sat in the driver's seat with both his feet up on the steering wheel. There was a cigarette held between his fingers.
"Gareth?"
