Chapter 624

"Tyler, this wine is too precious," said Carlisle as he pushed the bottles of wine back to Tyler.

Tyler immediately frowned.

"Don't be a stranger. You've helped me a lot. These are my tokens of gratitude."

With that, he pushed the bottles back to Carlisle, who had no choice but to accept.

"Well, if you say so. Thanks, Tyler," Carlisle said with a wry smile.

Wendell and the others had never seen Romanée-Conti before. But if Carlisle, who was used

to spending money lavishly, said it was too expensive, they assumed those wines were

probably worth more than five figures.

Carlisle poured a glass of Smirnoff and handed it to Tyler, "Here's a drink to warm your stomach!"

Tyler accepted it with a hearty smile.

"Let's all drink!"

After a few drinks, Tyler praised Carlisle, calling him a modern-day love guru. When Kevin and Zack learned that Tyler had ended his 33-year-long bachelorhood the same day he took Carlisle's advice, they immediately urged Carlisle to give Wendell some guidance, too.

Glancing at Wendell, who still dwelled in his thoughts, Carlisle said, "Wendell, we're all friends here. If you've got something to say, just spill it out."

Wendell had once been a special force team leader, so whatever bothered him was certainly something significant.

Wendell downed his drink in one gulp and set the glass down.

"If we set off those million-dollar fireworks all at once, we'll attract the attention of the people at the rehabilitation hospital and half of the East District. If the Murrays look into this, our previous operation might be exposed!"

Kevin and Zack's expressions turned solemn as Francis' eyes narrowed. Carlisle picked up his glass and took a sip.

"I didn't think about that."

He had considered that attracting some attention shouldn't be a problem since he and Wendell had resigned and would return to Riverland after Wanda's birthday. Even if the Murrays discovered them, he still had Gareth's and Wade's protection.

However, upon reflection, he realized that while he might avoid trouble, the people who helped him cover it up might not be as fortunate.

Those include Janice, the mother-to-be who was still working despite being a few months

pregnant, Zoey, the main mastermind of the entire operation, the Lawson couple, the humble village teachers who had to run a few miles to work as private tutors after school to pay for their son's medical bills and Sharon, the Caltopia College student who had a bright future ahead and saw Carlisle as a brother.

The security personnel at the rehabilitation hospital were also involved. Wendell had mentioned that they were probably retired soldiers like him. Colton's father had liver disease, and he had agreed to Wendell's request in exchange for the surgery fees.

Carlisle had no idea what the Murrays might do to these people, but it certainly wouldn't end well. Lowering his head, he felt a little lost as he considered the possibility that his plan of setting off fireworks for Wanda might expose them.

It seemed he had only two choices left: to give up the fireworks for Wanda or to safeguard the people who had helped him. Anyone with even a sliver of conscience would undoubtedly choose to protect the people.

Feeling uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere, Tyler asked in confusion, "What are you all talking about? I don't understand a word."

Carlisle turned to him and replied bitterly, "I really could use some help now."

He thought he wouldn't need help from Gareth's grandfather, Theodore. But it seemed that he was now left without a choice. If even Theodore couldn't help him with this, he would have to give up the surprise he had prepared for Wanda.

"Let's hear about it," Tyler slowly said.

Carlisle was his matchmaker and the person who had saved Theodore's family. If Carlisle were in trouble, Tyler would use all his connections to help him.

Carlisle told Tyler his reason for coming to Yorksle and how he had sneaked into the Murray family's rehabilitation hospital. The more Tyler listened, the more astonished he became. He wondered how an 18-year-old student had managed to conduct such an operation. Carlisle was indeed a fearless teenager. If anything had gone wrong, they would all be finished.

There were troops stationed in Maple Hill. They had to pass through the military base to get into the rehabilitation hospital. If something went wrong, all involved personnel might be imprisoned if the military charged them with stealing military secrets.

After listening to Carlisle's account, Tyler slowly asked, "So you want to set off fireworks for your girlfriend and avoid being investigated by the Murrays, right?"
