Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 432

"Call them over. Let's see if they've got anything to boast about before me!" Gareth demanded of Yelena.

His voice was as loud as thunder, piercing her heart like sharp thorns.

Yelena was taken aback by Gareth's statement about Carlisle earning 200 million within half a month. She wondered if that was even possible. She was even told that Carlisle even partnered with Mr. Worth on a project worth 400 million, which caused her to feel more puzzled.

Yelena had no doubt that Mr. Worth was capable of such feats, but she refused to believe that Kelly's cousin had the same capability.

However, these words came from Mr. Worth himself. Why would he fabricate such a lie to deceive her?

Lowering her head, Yelena remained absolutely still and silent.

"Apologize to my cousin now," Carlisle demanded calmly.

Yelena raised her head to glare at Carlisle but met Gareth's bloodshot eyes instead.

Facing his intense gaze, akin to that of a raging beast, Yelena swallowed hard and softly mumbled to Kelly, "Sorry..."

"Louder."

"Sorry..." Yelena raised her voice.

"To whom?" Gareth asked casually.

"Kelly, I'm sorry!" Yelena said loudly, her eyes brimming with tears.

She felt wronged.

Kelly responded expressionlessly, "I don't need your apology. All I ask is that you leave me alone at school."

Gareth slammed the table hard and said, "A cousin of Carlisle is also a cousin of mine. If anyone dares to bully you at school, just tell me, and I'll make sure justice is served!"

Carlisle waved his hand, dismissing everyone.

"What happened today ends here. You can leave now."

Not wasting a single second, Yelena swiftly walked out of the bar, only to find several police patrol cars parked outside.

Yelena felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, her mouth dry. Mr. Worth indeed had

connections with the police. In other words, he meant what he had said. It seemed she really shouldn't mess with Kelly.

The police entered the bar to check the surveillance footage, but the booth was located in a blind spot, so they didn't find anything.

Fortunately, many eyewitnesses could testify to the events. Consequently, Cody and his gang were taken away by the police.

After sorting things out for Kelly, Carlisle rejoined Gareth and continued their drinking. Kelly exited the bar and got into Laura's car, lost in thought.

Everything that night seemed unreal to her. Had Carlisle really become a billionaire within a few months? How did he manage to earn 200 million in half a month? Was it true that he had partnered with Mr. Worth on a project worth 400 million?

Sitting in the back with Kelly while her driver drove them home, Laura suddenly broke the silence, "Kelly, why have you never mentioned having such a handsome cousin?"Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

With a bitter smile, Kelly replied, "There's a grudge between my family and his."

"What kind of grudge?" Laura exclaimed in disbelief.

Kelly slowly recounted how her family had looked down on Carlisle's family.

After listening to Kelly's account, Laura sighed softly.

"Social inequality has always been the norm. In the past, the poor were generally poorly educated, unaware of their ignorance, making it difficult for them to turn their lives around.

"Now that the country has begun promoting nine-year compulsory education, I believe this phenomenon will be greatly improved soon."

Gazing at the scenery outside the car window, Kelly choked up.

"I never imagined Carlisle would save me from danger!"

Wrapping her arms around Kelly's shoulders, Laura remarked, "This shows he has a big heart and is more mature than his peers. He's someone with vision and ambition. That's why he could achieve success at such a young age!"

Laura leaned into Kelly's shoulder and sniffed.

"What are you doing?" Kelly asked, feeling goosebumps on her neck as she realized Laura had moved close to her.

Laura chuckled and said, "Sell me Carlisle's shirt, will you? I have a feeling he'll be someone influential in Riverland's business industry one day!"
