Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 672

The Warbanes also played an important role.

Shein picked up a spoon and scooped up some chestnut ice cream.

"Phones will be Carlisle's biggest failure in his business ventures. The phone market is very competitive, and it has deterred many entrepreneurs. Carlisle is just bold and naive."

Josie laughed and said, "You don't seem to be so against Carlisle anymore!"

Shein took two bites of ice cream and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He looked intently at Josie and said, "I've never been hostile toward him. He simply fell for someone that he shouldn't have, and my actions were for his own good!"

Josie looked conflicted and asked, "Is what we've done fair to our daughter?"

Shein was silent for a moment. He picked up his wine glass and polished off the rest of the wine.

"The Thompsons started trading in the Minner Era. After that, our family's fortunes declined, and there was a sharp decrease in our numbers. Later, we became the victims of lawsuits. But then, my grandfather started another business with the help of my grandmother. My father inherited a business worth seven billion dollars and worked hard until the day he died. The foundation we've built for over 200 years must not be destroyed while I'm in charge!"

He picked up the bottle of wine and gulped it down noisily as if he felt his heart ache for Wanda's destiny. He seemed to be venting his feelings.

"Wanda's engagement was decided for her by my father, and it's an alliance with the Murrays. Even if we wanted to rescind the agreement, they'd have to agree to it first!"

Josie smiled bitterly and picked up her glass to drink the remaining wine. The Murrays hadn't helped Thompson Group as they had expected them to do. It hinted that they didn't care about the Thompsons at all.

Following that, Josie and Shein began to feel less and less friendly toward the Murrays.

At 8:00 am the next day in Willow Grove, Carlisle was cuddling his blankets and talking in his sleep.

"Give me a kiss, Wanda..." he mumbled.

He dreamt that Wanda was in his arms, whining playfully at him. He couldn't help bending down to kiss her.

Just as he was about to touch her lips, his phone rang.

"We'll grow old together and watch the snowflakes fall..."

"Damn it!"

Carlisle got up angrily and picked up his phone.

It was Lethan, just as he had expected. Carlisle knew that he was calling to urge him to contact Leon.

"Hello?" Carlisle answered abruptly.

He was very displeased.noveldrama

"Carlisle, hurry up and contact that designer for me!"

Lethan hadn't slept a wink to meet the Hermès team on time. Ordinarily, he wouldn't have disturbed Carlisle so early in the morning.

"You're in too much of a rush!" Carlisle muttered in annoyance.

"I don't want to be either, but this collaboration with Hermès is just too important to the company... If Yuriel gets this instead, Islo Clothing will be in dire circumstances !" Lethan explained wryly.

"Alright. I stand by what I said. Don't get your hopes up."

Carlisle hung up and pressed down hard on the asterisk key to switch his phone to meeting mode. He pulled the blankets over his head and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks outside.

"Damn! Is there going to be no end to this?"

Carlisle burrowed out of his blankets and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Boss, it's me, Wendell..."

"Coming."

Carlisle pulled on a jacket and went to open the door.

Wendell and Francis wouldn't come looking for him unless they had something important to say, especially this early in the morning.

Carlisle opened the door to see Wendell looking very serious.

He said in a low, rough voice, "We found an explosive device in the car just now, and the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood were tampered with. If they could carry this out during Kevin's shift, they must be professional killers with training. Someone wants to kill you."
