Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 698

"I didn't think of that."

Sarah blushed, realizing she still had a lot to learn.

Austin leaned in and whispered, "You look stunning today, Sarah. Go ahead and make the donation. Then, I'll take you upstairs."

"Okay."

Sarah knew exactly what Austin wanted to do. Her blush spread to her neck.

"Sarah donated a million dollars? Is her company that profitable?"

Lily's eyes widened in surprise as her grip tightened on Sean's hand. She disliked Sarah and didn't want to see Sarah succeed.

Sean held Lily's hand and scoffed.

"It's all Austin's money. Without him, she's nothing."

After making her donation, Sarah stepped down from the stage. Sienna immediately approached and held onto Sarah's arm.

"Mr. Gust has something to take care of. He asked you to mingle around for a bit."

"Okay."

Sarah nodded, planning to network with some friends from the business circle. "Sarah, how much do you think Carlisle will donate?" Sienna asked out of curiosity. "At least a million dollars," Sarah replied.

She glanced confidently at Carlisle's table and continued, "Carlisle has always wanted to prove himself. So, if I donate a million dollars, he'll definitely donate more. However, he won't donate more than 1.5 million.

"My donation has two purposes. One is to make Carlisle spend more. Another is to get Universal Finance into the business circle and make everyone remember my company. This is what you call killing two birds with one stone."

"You're so smart, Sarah. I need to learn from you."

Sienna's eyes were filled with admiration.noveldrama

"Come on. Let's go have a drink with our old classmates."

Sarah was worried Carlisle might donate less than her as it would undermine her donation's impact. Sarah and Sienna took two glasses of red wine from the table and walked over to Carlisle's table.

Sean teased, "Carlisle, your ex is here."

Everyone at the table looked toward Sarah, following Sean's gaze. Carlisle glanced briefly at Sarah, his face indifferent.

"We never dated. How could she be my ex?"

Sean chuckled.

"I bet she's here to flaunt her million-dollar donation."

Soon, Sarah and Sienna arrived at the table.

Sarah looked like a noble young lady with her captivating face and elegant dress. She thought her presence would overshadow all the women at Carlisle's table. But she quickly realized that most of the women carried a kind of grace and elegance she couldn't match.

"What are you doing here, Sarah?"

Sean had already dropped his smile and was staring at Sarah blankly.

Sarah replied, "I'm here to drink with your chairman."

Her words implied that she was on par with Carlisle. On the other hand, Sean was merely Carlisle's subordinate, not worthy of speaking to her.

Sean frowned, clearly catching the disdain in her words. He held back his anger as the company's core executives were present. He clenched his fists but didn't act out.

Carlisle looked up at Sarah.

"Do you think you're qualified to drink with me?"

Sarah was slightly taken aback, not expecting Carlisle to humiliate her in front of so many people. Her previously gentle expression turned cold.

"Carlisle, do you really have no regard for an old classmate?"

Sienna nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Carlisle. You're being too heartless. You pursued Sarah for so long.

"Now, she's come to toast you. Not only do you refuse her, but you also insult her. If Ms. Turner knew her highly regarded student turned out like this, she'd be heartbroken."
