Chapter 227
Sarah, with a pout on her red lips, said plaintively, “Austin…”
Austin, feeling frustrated, remarked, “A few insults won’t do any harm.”
Sarah looked at him sadly.
Seeing her reaction, Austin softened his tone a bit.
“Alright. Let’s remember this for later. Once my dad sorts out the Thompson family, I’ll help you get your revenge.
Sarah could only nod quietly in response.
Outside, Sean persisted in his questioning, but Carlisle wouldn’t reveal said to Austin.
Carlisle flagged down a taxi for Lily and Sean.

“Got it, Carl. Catch you later!”
“Goodbye, Carl!”
They waved goodbye to Carlisle, who waved back with a grin.

After ending the call, Lawrence flashed a grin at Carlisle. Her leave’s sorted!”
“Thank you, Mr. Hanson Carlisle grinned in gratitude.
Lawrence shrugged and leaned in, saying. “Take care of my sergeant. He’s a real hero.”
Carlisle asked in a hushed tone, “What kind of hero?”
With a chuckle, Lawrence replied, “Can’t spill the beans on that one. Even if his own parents asked, he
wouldn’t say a word!”
Carlisle nodded. “I understand. It must be the confidentiality agreement and all”
Lawrence remained silent as he and his two comrades hopped into a taxi
Since Francis had a few drinks and couldn’t drive, he and Carlisle hailed a taxi back to the studio.
In the taxi, Francis couldn’t help but ask, “What did you tell Austin earlier?”
