Chapter 503 "I'm naive?"
"Am I wrong?"
Sarah looked at Ruby in confusion. She was a little annoyed.
She was Ruby's future sister-in-law, after all. Didn't she deserve a little respect?
Couldn't Ruby see that they were surrounded by Sarah's friends?
Ruby noticed the look in Sarah's eyes. Sarah was just a small-town nobody, but she was becoming more arrogant after coming into some money.
Did she really think she was the Gust family's future daughter-in-law?
Whether she could marry into the Gust family was beside the point. Even if she did marry Austin, she would never have more authority than Ruby.
"Do you know why Carlisle wasn't the one to stand in front of the crowd at the Alumni Network press conference?" Ruby asked, still disregarding Sarah.
"Of course I do. He likes to keep a low profile and has been like that since high school. He doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself." Sarah was full of confidence as she spoke as if she knew everything.
She sneered. "He has no idea how foolish that is. They invited reporters from the broadcasting stations for this press conference. If he had grabbed the opportunity to get exposure on television, he would definitely be able to attract the attention of several investors!"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Sienna immediately nodded in agreement. "What Sarah said makes sense! Carlisle is the kind of person who keeps a low profile. He was like that in high school, and he's exactly the same now that we're in university!"
Ruby looked at the two of them with pity.
She had met idiots before, but never anyone as idiotic as the two of them.
They proved that birds of a feather did flock together.
Sienna said curiously, "What are you laughing at, Ruby?"
Ruby glanced at them and said impassively, "There are four companies on the 18th floor of Windex Building. These companies are Alumni Network, Dragonaire Studio, Gowan Technology, and Aurora Holdings.
"Sean is the CEO of Alumni Network and Owen is the CEO of Dragonaire Studio. The CEO of Govan Technology is called Logan, and all three of these companies are managed by Aurora Holdings, which is managed by Carlisle.
"That means that Carlisle just wants to be the boss behind the scenes. He won't care that you messed up Alumni Network's press conference because you pose no threat to the
foundations of Aurora Holdings!"
At her words, Sarah and Sienna fell into silence for a while.
Their company was on the 19th floor.
They knew Carlisle had started a business on the 18th floor, and they had bits and pieces of information about what was going on there.
Within the short space of a month, Carlisle had started from nothing and now had four companies.
Sarah had tossed and turned for nights because of that.
She did not want Carlisle to be doing better than she was and hated that he was better at making money.
Sienna saw that Sarah was silent, so she hastily said comfortingly, "Sarah, don't overthink it. Their Alumni Network press conference is ruined, and that website will just become a joke among all the universities. That gaming company of theirs won't be able to achieve anything, either.
"Think about it. Computers aren't even a common household product. There aren't that many people who play games. As for that Govan Technology company, I heard they're making phones. Only someone insane would choose to make phones, right?"
"You're so ignorant." Ruby looked at Sienna as if she was an idiot.
Sienna looked irritated. "Why are you calling me ignorant? I heard that your father invested in phones and ended up losing his entire investment!"
Ruby did not protest at the mention of the phone industry. She only said, "Alumni Network isn't going to be destroyed, and the press conference will conclude well. As for Dragonaire Studio, that's the company that Gareth invested 200 million in, but you talk about it as if it were worth nothing!"
"2-200 million?" Sienna's eyes were bulging out of their sockets.
Sarah frowned slightly. "Where did you hear about that?"
Ruby said impassively, "Last week, there was a contract-signing cocktail party at Imperial Hotel which rocked Riverland.
"Carlisle attended as the representative of Dragonaire Studio, while the other party was Gareth. Even Sheldon and executives from the Department of Culture and Tourism were in attendance. My father and brother went as well!"
Sienna was confused, while Sarah was stunned.
Carlisle had managed to get 200 million in investment funds?
Sarah felt her heart wrench painfully, and her lips trembled as she said, "No... Carlisle must
be lying to Gareth. He must be deceiving Gareth through multilevel marketing. I... I'm going
to call the police..."
She pulled out her phone, her hand trembling.
Not even Austin had ever done business worth 200 million.
How could Carlisle?
There must be something wrong.
If she called the police, Carlisle's reputation would be ruined, and he would have to return
the 200 million!
He would become bankrupt, and the university would expel him.
Besides, he was now legally an adult and could go to jail.
