Chapter 223
Lawrence’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as his gaze flickered nervously to Carlisle in the
rearview mirror.
Who would’ve thought the newbie he disciplined on the first day of training was Francis‘ boss?
He worried if there were repercussions, they’d be aimed at Francis. Or perhaps Carlisle would settle scores with him in front of Francis.
Lawrence wondered if he should take the initiative to apologize to smooth things over.

Lawrence was already worrying about Carlisle possibly confronting him in front of Francis, so his heart raced when Carlisle called out to him.
“Mr–Mr. Zahn… Do you need something?”
Feeling like he was facing Francis‘ superior, Lawrence was on edge.
Carlisle noticed Lawrence’s tension and couldn’t help but smirk.

offer some assistance.
Carlisle grinned.
“Thanks a lot, Mr. Hanson.'”
Lawrence chuckled warmly.
“No problem at all. Just make sure to take good care of Sergeant Gable for me.”
“I won’t let my people down,” Carlisle replied with an innocent smile.
In truth, Carlisle would have treated Francis well even without knowing he was connected to Lawrence.
But having this connection certainly wouldn’t hurt. He figured it probably meant he wouldn’t face any more punishments during the rest of military training.

Carlisle skipped past the early version of SociableNet, formerly known as SchoolSpace, and delved into explaining the integrated SociableNet model. Sean listened with keen interest and was clearly intrigued by Carlisle’s visio
Sitting near Carlisle, Lily’s eyes widened with amazement as she heard his ideas and the business potential within the online realm.
“Carlisle, your imagination is incredible! I can’t believe you thought of a website like this!”
Taking a sip of his beer, Carlisle smiled calmly.
