Chapter 702

As four clear voices rang out, the entire banquet hall fell silent once more.

Sean, Owen, Ryan, and Logan had spoken.

The CEOs of the four companies walked toward the donation podium with their checks.

Yuriel was dazed.

Had Carlisle gone mad?

With the ten million and ten thousand from Aurora Holdings, Carlisle donated 14 million and ten thousand in total.

Dragonaire Studio was still under development.

Govan Tech was working on phones, so Yuriel disregarded it completely. He was sure that it would make a loss.

Xenos Technology made semiconductors. He had heard they had been investing huge sums of money in research and development lately.

These companies were currently spending exorbitant amounts of money, and only Alumni Network was beginning to make a profit.

Yuriel happened to know one of the manufacturers advertising on Alumni Network. The week before, he attended a luncheon where he learned about their method for advertising and its pricing.

Alumni Network only had one advertisement position and would display the advertisements in rotation. Even if they were collaborating with several large clients, they would probably only get a profit of about three to five million per month.

It would take them at least two or three months to earn the 14 million and ten thousand back, and within those three months, Carlisle would still have to pay the staff of all five companies, including Aurora Holdings. This would also be a huge cost.

Yuriel had earned a net profit of 130 million last year, and it had already been a wrench for him to donate ten million. How could Carlisle have the confidence to donate more than Yuriel?

However, Yuriel kept his thoughts to himself.

He felt Carlisle's extravagant spending habits would make it hard for him to succeed, especially as he had been reckless enough to enter the mobile phone industry.

Yuriel suddenly felt that he had been worrying needlessly about Carlisle.

At that thought, he smiled.

While a few people lined up to put their checks in the charity box, Yuriel suddenly received a message from his wife.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he walked over to the side to call Austin.

As soon as Austin picked up, he said excitedly, "Dad, I know what you're going to say. Carlisle is too much of a threat to us. We should have cut things off at the root."

Austin had just discovered that the game Dragonaire Studio developed already had more

than three hundred thousand registered users, and it was only January. By March, it was estimated to have more than one million, which was to say that it was possible for Dragonaire Studio's game to have one million players on the day of its launch. That was a terrifying thought.

Yuriel was slightly startled. His face turned dark, and he said angrily, "Have you been watching too many superhero movies?"

Austin forced his rapidly beating heart to calm down. "Why did you call me, then?"

Yuriel lowered his voice and said, "Kiara will be back by spring. You know what to do, don't you?"

On the other end of the phone, Austin was silent for a moment. He sounded conflicted as he said, "Alright, I understand..."

After hanging up, Austin downed his glass of wine in one gulp.

The year he turned 20, he had still been studying at Yorksle University.

In a momentary lapse of judgment, he had slept with a young woman who was in her first year of university.

After that, he discovered she was part of the Mocuwait Shaws.

The Mocuwait Shaws!

They were just as terrifying as the Murrays.

Luckily, the Shaws were reasonable, and they agreed to let Kiara Shaw marry Austin.

The only condition was that they would have to wait until Kiara came back from studying abroad.
