Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Sharyl finished cutting up some fruit for Lily and then went to make a bed for her.

She used brand-new blankets and sheets.

Rory plugged the heater in and put it in front of Lily before sitting down to talk to her.

Rory asked her a few questions about Alumni Network and Carlisle's companies.

Lily took a photo album from her bag and gave it to Rory. "These are photos of the office. You can have a look, Mr. Woodsen."

Rory took the album and flipped through it.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

There was a photo of the tall and imposing Windex Building, as well as fancy office buildings.

There was a photo of more than a hundred staff members dressed neatly in suits.

There was also a photo of Sean at work. He was sitting in the CEO's office and signing something.

Rory was so moved that his eyes shone with tears. "That little scamp has really made something of himself."

Sharyl finished making the bed and set a mug of warm milk in front of Lily. "Have some milk to warm up."

"Thank you, Mrs. Woodsen." Lily's heart was filled with warmth.

Sean's parents treated her better than her parents did.

Rory gave the photo album to Sharyl. "Look at these photos of our son at work."

Sharyl flipped through the album and looked shocked. "That office is huge!"

Lily held the mug and said, "That's just the office space of Alumni Network. Carl has four office spaces that look like that."

Sharyl looked at Rory and said, "Where did Carlisle get the capital to start such a big company?"

"How would I know?" Rory glanced at her in annoyance.

He had been with her the entire time.

If she didn't know, how could he?

Lily took a few sips of milk before saying gently, "Carl has investors. Mr. Spencer, the one in the white suit tonight, is one of them. He's a wealthy heir from Yorksle and invested almost four hundred million in Carl's company."

Rory and Sharyl both gasped.

400 million!

They had been in business for two years and had seen numerous millionaires with millions or tens of millions.

However, they had never seen anyone who had more than a hundred million dollars.

They even had the chance to sit with Gareth and eat with him.

What shocked them even more was the fact that Carlisle had managed to get four hundred million in investment funds.

How big had his companies gotten?

Carlisle was just a young man in his first year at university.

The two of them took a long time to recover from their shock.

Rory said in awe, "Knowing Gordon and his family is the luckiest thing that will ever happen to us!"

He knew very well that his family and Sylvester's family would both prosper under Carlisle's guidance.

At that moment, Carlisle, Heath, and the others were having drinks at a bar.

They weren't talking about business. They were either singing at the open mic or drinking. They only parted ways at around 4:00 am.

Carlisle called Francis to take him home while Gareth found a hotel to stay at.

When Carlisle got home, the door was slightly ajar, and the lights in the living room were on.

Worried that he would disturb his parents' sleep, he tiptoed back to his room.

Heath had rented another place after he had regained consciousness, so Carlisle's room had been restored to its original state.

Carlisle lay down on the bed. He could smell the faint scent of detergent lingering on the blankets.

He had drunk quite a lot that day, so he fell asleep quickly, hugging the blanket to himself.

The next day, Carlisle slept until noon.

When he got up and went to the living room, he found his parents wearing their best clothes, which they only wore on formal occasions.

He couldn't help laughing and asked, "Are the two of you going out on a date?"
