Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 366 

Christine opened the note and read the hasty scrawl on it: “O‘ beautiful Lady Christine, will you do me the honor of having tea with me? If yes, please meet me at Papplewick Tea Shop this afternoon once classes end.” 

She crumpled up the note and tossed it into her desk drawer. 

Since giving up on her one–sided affection for Carlisle, she had decided to pour all her energy into her studies and making money. 

Not long after Daniel left, Susan received a call from Peter. When she heard that. 

Ruby was transferring to her class, she couldn’t help glancing at Carlisle. 

With classes having yet to formally commence, she hadn’t gotten to know any of her 

students yet. She didn’t even know most of their names. 

However, after a week or so of observation, she realized that there were only a 

handful of talented male students in this year’s freshman intake. 

Among them, Carlisle had impressed her the most. He was better–looking and more 

well–behaved than most of his peers, and he had fortitude far beyond his years. 

Susan could only think of one reason why Ruby might want to transfer to Class 2 so quickly after Wanda’s transfer. 

“You know who Ruby’s father is, don’t you? His generous donations to the university over the years have greatly enhanced the quality of our education and teaching 

environment. 

“His name is on the sponsor plaque too. It would be in our best interests to give his. daughter what she wants,” Peter reminded. 

A wry smile curled on Susan’s lips. “I understand.” 

So it was true that money made an excellent servant. It had taken Ruby only one phone call to switch classes. She hardly had to lift a finger. 

Ten minutes later, Timothy showed up at the entrance of Class 2 with Ruby in tow. 

Susan walked over to the door and personally ushered Ruby in. 

The whole class fell silent when they saw Ruby. 

She was stunning in her own right. She sported delicately chiseled features and alabaster skin, which was set off by her long hair and even bangs. 

She locked clean and well–dressed, but there was a hint of arrogance in her 

countenance. 

eyes and 

Susan rapped her knuckles on the teacher’s desk and said, “Quiet, everyone. This is Ruby Gust, our new student who just transferred from Class 1. Let’s give her a warm 

welcome.” 

Ruby Gust. Almost everyone in the classroom had heard of her name. She was the daughter of the richest man in Riverland. In other words, an heiress. 

The students burst into applause save for Carlisle and Wanda. 

Carlisle did not even so much as glance at Ruby. He kept his eyes on Wanda, who was still staring at him. There was no light in her eyes even as she fixed her gaze on 

him. 

Carlisle’s heart broke at the sight of this. He wasn’t sure what he could do to help Wanda recover from the trauma and return to her old self. 

Ruby cleared her throat as she introduced herself, “Good day, everyone. I’m Ruby, and I look forward to getting to know each of you better.” 

The students clapped once more. 

Ruby’s gaze slid over to Carlisle and Wanda. The sight of them staring at each other Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

irked her to no end. 

Just then, Susan asked, “Anyone in the front row wants to relinquish their seat for 

Ruby?” 

At once, a few male students in the front row stood up, and so did a few girls in the 

middle section of the classroom. 

Susan turned to smile at Ruby as she asked, “Where would you like to sit?” 

Ruby pointed at the seat directly behind Wanda. “I prefer seats by the windows.” 

“I’m not giving up my seat,” Phoebe protested immediately. 

Ruby’s brows furrowed. She knew she couldn’t throw a fit here, so she sighed and said in resignation, “Ms. Lowe, why don’t you pick out a seat for me?” 

In other words, she had picked out the seat she wanted, and it was up to Susan to make the arrangements. 

Susan sighed inwardly. She couldn’t cross Yuriel’s daughter, not unless she wanted to be summoned to the dean’s office for a talking–to. 

If Susan got into trouble with Yuriel, her father’s business could be in jeopardy too. 

A moment of thought later, Susan walked over to Phoebe’s seat and said softly,” Phoebe, could you choose a seat offered by any of the students who stood up and let Ruby have your seat?” 

Phoebe saw the exasperation in Susan’s eyes. Pouting, she began to gather her books. 

Just like that, Ruby had successfully planted herself in the seat behind Wanda. 

She had only just sat down when she feigned concern for Wanda’s well–being.” Wanda, I heard about the kidnapping incident yesterday. I hope you weren’t hurt!” 

Images from yesterday’s incident surfaced in Wanda’s mind when she heard Ruby’s question. 

When she remembered how Mac had been killed before her, she trembled and quickly slithered to the ground. 

Her heartbreaking sobs filled the air as she buried her face in the crook of her arms. “Can’t you just shut the hell up?” came a deep voice.
