Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Carlisle turned to look at Wanda and shook his head. “Let’s do that next time. I’m not free today.” 

Both his career and love life were important. As such, he had to accompany Wanda now. 

He didn’t want to set Wanda aside just for the possibility of a useful connection. 

The young man noticed Carlisle’s gaze and knew that he wanted to accompany his girlfriend. He sighed. bitterly. “I had a breakup recently, that’s why I’m out here drinking alone.” 

Wanda looked at the young man with sympathy and said to Carlisle, “Why don’t you keep him company for a while?” 

Carlisle held Wanda’s hand tightly and said, “But I prefer strolling with you.” 

At this moment, a Mazda of the same model as Carlisle’s drove over. 

The car door opened, and an old man in a suit with a slicked–back hairstyle stepped out. 

The drunken young man quickly went up to him. They both whispered for a while: 

The suited old man frowned slightly, but soon his expression returned to normal. He went back to the car, retrieved a checkbook, and wrote a check. 

The drunken young man waved at Carlisle. “Dude, come here!” 

When Carlisle was about to walk over, Wanda suddenly stopped him. She then took out her cell phone, turned on the voice–recording function, and tucked it into Carlisle’s pocket.. 

Carlisle smiled and proceeded to walk over. 

The drunken young man said with a grin, “This is my guardian. He’ll give you the money as promised.” 

The old man handed Carlisle the check for a million dollars with a smile. 

“Are you sure you want to pay me a million dollars to sing that song?” Carlisle didn’t accept the check. right away, he instead stared at the old man with a firm gaz 

The old man nodded, not saying a word in response. 

Carlisle still didn’t take the check. “Please answer my question.” 

The eyes of the old man flickered before he smiled and said, “Yes… This one million dollars is your payment for singing to 

“Spencer.” 

Upon hearing the old man’s confirmation, Carlisle took the check. 

The looked at the drunken young man and said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

ld man then 

The young man waved his hand and said, “Go.” Turning to Carlisle, he then extended his hand and introduced himself, “Let’s get to know each other. My name is Gareth Spencer.” 

“I’m Carlisle Zahn.” 

Carlisle and Gareth shook hands. 

Although Gareth had a lot to drink and certainly appeared drunk, he was actually sober. 

In other words, he didn’t pay Carlisle a million dollars to sing simply because he was drunk. This further proved that Gareth was no ordinary man. 

At the very least, he was not someone the rich people in Riverland–like Zachary or Yuriel–could compare 

1. to. 

“Let’s drink first.” 

Gareth put his arm around Carlisle’s shoulders and went to the spot where he had been drinking 

After taking a few steps, some fragmented images suddenly flashed through Carlisle’s mind. 

Someone had jumped off a building. 

Many wreaths were laid outside the city council building. 

A faceless man poured gasoline on himself in an attempt to light himself on fire. 

In the end, the president of the city council was arrested. 

These images played out like scenes in a movie, accompanied by overlapping sounds from various TV news broadcasts. 

Carlisle was taken aback. 

Wasn’t this the incident involving fake wine that shook the entire alcohol industry in his previous life? 

The person who was said to have sold fake wine was the grandson of a prominent political figure. Because of this incident, his entire family was implicated. 

Carlisle turned to look at Gareth. 

That incident happened around December in the year of 2004. Carlisle had already started work in the factory in his previous life during that time. He had only heard about the incident from his colleague. 

The Internet was not well–developed back then, so only a few people knew about it. In the end, however, the case was reported in the news and some legal programs, 

“Dude, what’s wrong with you?” Gareth asked in confusion when he noticed that Carlisle suddenly stopped walking. 

Carlisle shook his head and asked, “Gareth, are you in the liquor business?”
