Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel

Chapter 619

Amaris' rejection led Hank to receive nothing but an acknowledgment that he was a good man. It was a classic line.

Carlisle turned away and grinned briefly. When he looked back, he had rearranged his features into a serious expression. He didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't help it.

Francis, on the other hand, wasn't laughing. In fact, there were tears in his eyes. He had been about to laugh, so he had quickly thought about his saddest memories to stop himself. Tears immediately brimmed in his eyes when he thought about his first love, Rebecca.

"Hank, right? How much money did you give Amaris? I'll pay it back on her behalf."

Kyle smiled as he took out a checkbook from his pocket.

Hank stared at Amaris and asked bitterly, "Amaris, don't you have any feelings for me after all these years together? I've already saved up 50 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. Once you graduate, we can get married!"

Amaris laughed.

"Hank, the 50 thousand dollars was my mother's request!"

Hank looked delighted as he said, "So, you never wanted the money, right? That means that I still have a place in your heart. Can't you come back to me?"

Amaris' eyes showed a flash of contempt, but her tone remained gentle. She shook her head and took Kyle's arm.

Her red lips parted as she said, "I don't want an expensive wedding gift. I want a life of luxury. Kyle's already worth ten million at the age of 21. You're 26, yet you're working overtime and coding all night. You can't give me the life that I want!"

Hank stumbled backward.

His last shred of hope had been completely destroyed by what Amaris had said. "Let's go, Kyle."

Amaris tucked her silky hair behind one car, took Kyle's arm, and walked out.

Kyle smiled faintly. When he walked past Hank, he slapped a 100 thousand-dollar check on his chest. Hank did not take it, and the check fell to the floor.

"There are plenty of fish in the sea. A woman like that isn't worth your sincerity."

Carlisle comfortingly patted Hank on the shoulder while Francis picked up the check from the floor and sighed in awe.

"You could buy a house with 100 thousand. Rich people give so generously!"

Jasmine said softly, "Kyle is the son of Wonder Corporation's CEO. He's worth at least 1.5

billion!"

"Wonder Corporation is the company that makes Wondermoist, isn't it?" Carlisle asked.

Wondermoist became very well-known over the last few years. It was priced reasonably, and almost every household used it. Even Wanda, a wealthy heiress, used Wondermoist, and Wondermoist commercials were frequently shown on television.

Their slogan was: "Wonders every day! Let's all feel wonderful!"

Jasmine nodded and said, "That's the one. Wonder Corporation's CEO and his wife are both very kind people. Every year, they use 10% of their profits for charitable work. They have many fans worldwide, and they're known as the exemplary entrepreneurial couple!"

"They give back what they take. That's what a true entrepreneur should be like."

Carlisle stuck his hands in his pockets and praised them.

He noticed that Hank looked even more disconsolate, so he added, "I don't think much of their son, though!"

Amaris was such a gold-digger, but Kyle didn't seem to care. That meant that he had either won Amaris over by throwing money at her or he was only toying with her feelings.

An exemplary entrepreneurial couple wouldn't have raised a son with such poor taste, would they?

"Mr. Zahn?"

Tyler rushed up to the hotel, looking rather tired. He was around 30 years old, and most of his hair was slicked back from his forehead. He wore a black trench coat over a suit, and there was a mole on the left corner of his chin. He was over six feet tall, half a head taller than Francis.

"Mr. Duvall," Jasmine greeted him before introducing him to Carlisle.

"Mr. Zahn, this is Mr. Duvall, the vice CEO of Whiron International!"

Carlisle smiled and stuck out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Duvall."
