Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Carlisle was engrossed in his book and completely ignored Ruby's attempts to get his attention.

Ruby wrote a note and placed it on his desk, but Carlisle didn't even look at it.

Her spirits sank. Carlisle had agreed to be her friend before. She wondered if he treated his other friends the same way. She assumed he must be in a bad mood since Wanda had just left.

"Whatever! I can wait," she thought to herself.

Ruby pouted before she took out a book and started studying as well.

Carlisle's concentration on his book was interrupted when his phone buzzed with a message from Logan.

"Mr. Zahn, I need to ask you a favor. A close friend of mine has an accounting firm in Yorksle, but its competitors have crushed it. You've registered a gaming company, right? Could their team work for you?"

"Sure!" Carlisle agreed without hesitation.

After all, he needed a professional accounting team to manage the funds and handle the taxes. Logan's friend had shown up at the right time.

"That's great. I'll send them to Riverland right away!"

After reading the message, Carlisle put his phone down. He had a morning of back-to-back classes ahead of him.

At noon, when school was dismissed, Carlisle received a call from Leon. Leon had picked up his suit for him.

Just then, Phoebe and Christine stopped Carlisle outside the classroom.

Christine looked anxious.

"Carlisle, the investors have already arrived at Imperial Hotel. Are you coming with us now?

"You guys go ahead and entertain the investors for me. I'll be there shortly," Carlisle replied before heading off.

Phoebe and Christine exchanged nervous glances. They were dealing with a 30 million dollar investment. Coming from humble backgrounds, it was a sum neither of them had ever imagined they would come close to in their lifetimes.

Gareth had booked an entire floor for the occasion at Imperial Hotel. Through his father's

connections, he had even managed to invite several high-ranking officials from the Department of Culture and Tourism to the signing ceremony.

The presence of government officials drew Yuriel, Shein, and local businessmen alike from Riverland to witness the event. The banquet hall was set up with five tables. It wasn't a grand affair, but each guest was a billionaire in their own right.

Zachary and Shein sat together.

"It's just a 200 million dollar deal. What's so special about this signing ceremony?" Zachary complained.

Shein sipped his tea elegantly before replying calmly, "Our goal today isn't the ceremony itself but to network with the high-ranking officials from the Department of Culture and Tourism.

"They outsource many projects yearly. Building a relationship with them could be extremely beneficial for your future business endeavors. Make the most of this opportunity!"

Zachary's eyes lit up with interest.

"Just who exactly is in charge of this project? How did they manage to get officials from the Department of Culture and Tourism to attend this ceremony?"

"The investor is Mr. Spencer from Scarlet Corporation. I don't know who the contracting party is."

At another table, Shania whispered to Lethan, "Lethan, do you think Carlisle is the contractor?"
