Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 668

"What can I do? I'll just have to accept my fate." Wanda propped her chin up in her hands. There was resignation and a slight irritation in her voice.

Bianca took a packet of chocolates from the shelf of snacks next to the desk. She stuffed one in her mouth and began chewing. She said in a muffled voice, "Wanda, shall we escape?" Wanda didn't even bother to look up. She said tiredly, "Even a fly wouldn't be able to get out of here. How could we possibly escape?"

Bianca took another piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Wanda's mouth. Her teeth glinted as she said sweetly, "We just have to think of a way!"

There was one thing she hadn't told Wanda.

The troops stationed outside had all been withdrawn.

The number of security teams at the hospital had also been reduced.

Gareth left after drinking until 8:00 pm.

Carlisle did not have a good alcohol tolerance, and all the women at the company couldn't drink much.

If he wanted to drink properly, he'd have to go to Hank.

Carlisle sat dizzily in the back of the car and called Lethan. However, no one picked up.

He called Shania.noveldrama

No one picked up either.

He thought about the fact that he hadn't called his parents to wish them well yet, so he called Gordon.

"Hello? Carl?" It was noisy on the other end of the phone. Gordon appeared to be at a party. "Happy New Year, Dad!"

"Happy New Year to you, too!"

"Where are you, Dad?" Carlisle asked, smiling.

"We're eating at Helena's! They're having a farewell party today!" Gordon had had a few drinks, and his voice was slurred.

"They've bought a house?" Carlisle asked.

Gordon lowered his voice and said, "Yvette bought it for them. It's a big, three-story villa that's around eight thousand square feet in size. It cost 1.2 million! Yvette's had a hard time over the past few years, but they've resolved all their misunderstandings."

Carlisle's lips curved slightly. "That's good. I knew Yvette must have had her own difficulties."

Gordon laughed and said, "You're just a kid. What would you know? By the way, the weather reports say that the temperature will drop within the next few days. Remember to buy yourself some sweaters and jackets to prepare."

Carlisle felt warm and fuzzy. He smiled and said, "I know. Remember to keep warm too. Buy a few more heaters and keep them at home!"

"We got a shipment of heaters for the convenience store. You don't have to worry about your mother and I. Just take good care of yourself, and don't let us worry about you!"

"Alright." Carlisle ended the call and called Lethan once more.

There was still no one picking up.

At the CEO's office in Thompson Group, Lethan, Shania, Josie, and Zachary were seated around Shein's office desk for a family meeting.

Shein sat at the head of the table, and he looked weary. His eyes were bloodshot, and his normally neat hair was tousled.

He looked sternly at Lethan and said, "Lethan, the Hermes inspection team will arrive in Riverland tomorrow. Are you confident that you can get this collaboration?"
