NovelEnglishChapter 728
Xane was lost in reflection and regret. It wasn't until Carlisle and the others stood up to leave that he regained
his composure and saw them off with respect and gratitude.
After settling Anna and the baby, Xane turned himself into the police.
During his tin prison, he focused on reflecting, studying, and reforming. Due to his good behavior, he was
released after four months. He even visited Carlisle at Aurora Holdings afterward.
From then on, he dedicated himself to scriptwriting. Years later, he beca well-known screenwriter and
director in the country.
That night, Carlisle and his roommates had a gathering at A1 Seafood Restaurant.
Shane showed up in ripped jeans, a shiny leather jacket, and a small braid at the back of his head.
Carlisle's presence made everyone feel slightly stiff, so they all sat up straight like model students. It wasn't until
Carlisle initiated scasual conversation and had a few drinks that they began to loosen up.

asked, his smile mischievous.
Shane seemed different from his previous self. He used to fawn over his roommates and classmates, but now he
seemed more laid-back and confident. Even his smile appeared more genuine.
Shane sipped his beer, saying, "Well, I've realized that money is just a means to an end, not the end itself. For
instance, clothes are meant to keep us warm and covered, not to show off. "Besides, | worry that | might forget
my initial intentions after earning money, so | wear my old clothes to remindof those tough times. That's
what keepsmotivated to keep earning."
Jasper teased, "Since when did you beca philosopher?"
Shane chuckled.
"I've been reading philosophy books for about a month now. It really helps to expand your mind!"
Dylan took a sip of his Coke and asked curiously, "So what's the point of making all this money then?"
Shane replied, "So it's there when | need it."
Carlisle then asked, "Shane, how much have you made over the past few months?"
Everyone turned their attention to Shane. They knew he'd made a lot but didn't know the precise amount.
Shane pulled out a bank card and placed it in front of Carlisle.
"Carl, | made 380 thousand dollars. There's 300 thousand on this card, and it's for you. I'm keeping the
remaining 80 thousand dollars to maintain the website!"
"Dang. 300 thousand dollars? Shane, buddy, can | get in on this project too?" Jasper asked eagerly. He could buy
three houses in their small town with that kind of money.
"Countin too! I'm not greedy. All | ask is to earn two thousand dollars a month!" Dylan added, grinning.
"You call that 'not greedy'?" Daniel exclaimed in disbelief.
"Do your parents even make that much in a month?"
After peeling and popping a shrimp into his mouth, Carlisle asked, "How are you making this money? Was it
through paid downloads or subscriptions?"
Shane looked confused.
"Huh? What are those?"
Carlisle suddenly realized that paid downloads and subscriptions weren't a thing yet.
He then rephrased, "Why don't you tell us how you're earning so much?"
Shane explained, "At first, | burned CDs and sold them at stalls. Then, | started storing the songs on memory
cards and selling them.
"Later, | got someone to build a music website and promote the songs online. Once the site gained sbuzz, |
started taking on ads. That's how | made over 300 thousand dollars!"
