Chapter 98
Daniel was startled to see Carlisle lying on the bed opposite him. “Holy crap, Carlisle… When did you get
back?”
“About three minutes ago,” Carlisle replied nonchalantly.
“Damn, you’re lying!”
“Oh?” Carlisle grinned. “What mischief have you been up to?”
Daniel’s face turned red with embarrassment. “What are you talking about?”
Carlisle chuckled at his answer. “Isn’t it obvious?”
“Believe what you want.” Daniel smiled awkwardly before tossing the tissue he was holding into the trash
car
Carlisle put on his shoes and left the room, leaving the unpleasant smell of the dormitory behind.
He decided to move out tomorrow and find a new place to live. The dormitory environment was simply unbearable.
Carlisle went to the roof to call Hank. He intended to recruit some programmers from him to form a research and development team.
They would first have to develop an operating system to create a smartphone. However, there was the cost of research and development. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose and decided against calling Hank.
The cost of research and development, along with salaries, was a challenge.
The profits from the studio probably wouldn’t be enough to cover the research and development costs.
Just then, Carlisle’s phone rang. It was his mother.
Carlisle quickly answered the phone, “Hello, Mom.”
“Son, you don’t have class today, do you?”
“No classes on the weekend!” Carlisle replied with a soft smile.
Hilda then said, “You little rascal, did you not even think to call when you are on break!”
“Hey, I’ve been a little busy!” Carlisle laughed awkwardly, realizing he hadn’t called home since he started
college.
Hilda didn’t press further. Instead, she asked, “How’s school? Have classes started?”
“Not yet. It’ll probably start next week!”
“Son, have you seen Owen lately?” Hilda inquired suddenly.

“Owen… He’s… He’s with mol”
Hayley must have realized that Owen wasn’t at school and asked Hilda to check with Carlisle.
To ease Hayley’s worries, he had to come clean.
“Were you the one who told him to go there?” Hilda’s tone had turned Icy.
“Yes, it was my idea!”
Hilda lost her temper. “Do you know how worried his mother was? She was on the verge of calling the police!”
“Mom, Owen skips class every day to go gaming. He’s not learning anything useful at school. It’s better for him to earn money with me than to waste time there!” Carlisle explained.
“You… You’re still in school, aren’t you?” Hilda’s voice carried a hint of panic, fearing that Carlisle had
abandoned his studies.
“I’ve started a game studio, and Owen works there. I’m still going to school, so it won’t affect my studies!”
Hilda felt somewhat relieved.
“Can a game studio make money?”
“Don’t worry, it definitely can. Talk to Mrs. Woods and tell her to relax. Besides, I’ll have Owen call her tomorrow. If she doesn’t believe us, she can come to Riverland and see for herself!”
“Alright, I trust you.”
Hilda remembered Carlisle’s confidence about getting into Riverland University, so she believed his studio would make money, too.
After a short pause, Hilda added, “Your grandfather’s birthday is tomorrow. Remember to call him, okay?”
“Ah… Grandpa’s birthday…” Carlisle’s pupils shrank sharply as he suddenly recalled a news article he had seen at his grandfather’s birthday party in his previous life.
