Sienna suspected that a client named Zadie was behind the report. Sarah wanted revenge, but Zadie had Wade to back her up.
Wade was a former general under the now-absent Heath. Even though Heath wasn't
around, Wade and his men were not to be messed with. Even someone like Alex wouldn't provoke Wade.From NôvelDrama.Org.
The only option would be to involve Jalen, but with his recent standoff with Titan, no one wanted to stir up trouble with a third party at such a critical time.
"Bella, are you going?"
"Of course! You will receive a box of premium coffee for attending the event. It only costs two dollars to take the bus there and back. It's a total win!" Bella replied.
"I was thinking the same thing. Let's go after school!"
"Sure. Wait for me after class."
Sarah looked at her disdainfully.
"It's only one box of coffee. I'll get you two boxes if you come over and watch TV with me tonight."
"Really? Sarah, you're the best!"
Bella's eyes lit up.
The bell rang, signaling the end of classes.
Just then, Daniel came running from the field.
"Carl..."
Sarah froze before turning her head. She spotted Carlisle in his jersey and frowned.
"Let's go back to class. Seeing him ruins my mood."
Sarah's friends nodded and followed her into the building.
Carlisle finished his Coke and looked up at the panting Daniel.
"Carl, is the server room ready?"
"Not yet. It's still being renovated, and we're still negotiating the server prices," Carlisle replied.
Daniel handed him an invitation.
"Then how do you explain this?"
Carlisle scanned the invitation.
"Dear student, we cordially invite you to the upcoming Alumni Network launch event. We'll introduce you to our new college social platform, designed with a user-friendly interface, powerful features, and rich content. At the launch, we will demonstrate the site's features and answer any questions you may have about Alumni Network. You'll also have the opportunity to discuss and share feedback with our team."
The event was scheduled for November 7th at 8:00 pm at Riverland Convention Center. It even stated that attendees could claim a box of premium coffee after the event with their invitation. Finally, there was Alumni Network's tagline, "Real connections, remarkable experiences."
Carlisle was confused. It was November 7th, and he hadn't heard anything about it. He tried to call Sean, but his phone was off. Carlisle figured that he was probably in class.
Then, he called Felicia.
"Mr. Zahn..." Felicia began nervously.
Carlisle got right to the point.
"Is the Alumni Network server ready?"
Swallowing hard, Felicia replied, "The vendor sent over two servers for testing. They can handle the initial load of a hundred thousand users. Mr. Woodsen was so eager to have the launch that he even used his own money to buy two thousand bottles of coffee for the attendees.
"He was afraid of your reaction, so he told me to keep it a secret from you. I figured since this was his first big decision, I shouldn't discourage him. So, I kept it from you."
Carlisle's mouth twitched in annoyance. At that moment, he thought Sean was an idiot. Two thousand bottles of coffee would cost over 40 thousand, even at wholesale prices.
Besides Carlisle's million, Sean didn't have that kind of money. "Mr. Zahn, you're not mad, are you?" Felicia asked cautiously.
