Chapter 293

The several guys nearby turned to leave with their companions.

“A bunch of cold–blooded people. Bastards!” The woman looked at the men and cursed. Then, she turned to look at Carlisle with expectant eyes.

“Carlisle, let’s go.” Wanda quickly dragged Carlisle away.

Carlisle was also scared of being implicated, so he turned and left with Wanda.

In this era, the security in Riverland was still relatively poor. Online payment was still not readily available,

and people would bring cash with them everywhere, so robberies were common.

Not long after they made to leave, a short–looking guy suddenly rushed over.

Wanda asked in surprise, “Is he going to help?”

Carlisle turned to look over, and that short guy was indeed heading toward those hooligans.

“Carlisle? Wanda?” A familiar voice came from not far away.

Carlisle and Wanda turned and looked to the front. It was their guidance counselor, Susan.

She was wearing a long skirt, looking delicate and gentle. She was holding bags of packed food in her hands.

“M–Ms. Lowe…” Wanda immediately let go of Carlisle’s hand and distanced herself from him.

Carlisle was more collected and did not look as nervous.

Susan said, “Don’t come to such deserted places in the future… It’s too unsafe.

Carlisle thought of something and looked up at Susan. “Ms. Lowe, is Mr. Hanson the one who rushed over just now?”

Just as he said that, the people there had already gotten into a fight.

Carlisle and Wanda turned to look over.

The short guy had already beaten the three hooligans.

Wanda covered her mouth and said, “It really is Mr. Hanson. He’s so amazing!”

Carlisle nodded. “Mr. Hanson is an army on active duty. It’s a piece of cake for him to deal with a few hooligans.”

“Go back to campus quickly. Don’t stay in this place any longer, Susan reminded them and walked toward Lawrence.

Only then did Wanda come to her senses and ask, “What’s the relationship between Ms. Lowe and Mr.

Hanson?”

Carlisle answered casually, “They’re probably a couple.”

“No… No way!” Wanda was surprised.

She didn’t look down on Lawrence. Instead, she admired him. That said, it was hard to imagine Lawrence,

who was bulky and stood at the height of 5’5“, being with the beautiful Susan.

Carlisle and Wanda only left when they saw that the girl had been saved.

When they passed by the spot where Gareth had been drinking just now, he was no longer there.

Wanda asked, “Carlisle, can you give me the one million dollars?”

Carlisle casually took out the check from his pocket and put it into Wanda’s hand without hesitation.

Wanda was stunned. “But this is a million dollars. With this, you won’t have to worry about money for a

long time.”

nature.

Thus, she intended to test Carlisle by asking him to give her the check. Unexpectedly, he handed it to her

right away.

“You silly girl, you are my biggest wealth!” Carlisle pinched Wanda’s cheek affectionately.

These words were cringey but Wanda loved to hear them.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Carlisle on the cheek. Then, she lowered her head and said shyly.” This is your reward.”

Carlisle pursed his lips and said, “Kiss me on the lips.”

Wanda smiled. “In your dreams.”
