Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Caulitorna BBQ was a three-story fine-dining restaurant almost as luxurious as a small hotel.

Sean and Lily stood at the side of the road, craning their necks in anticipation.

Sean wore a black anorak and jeans, but he had on a pair of expensive Doc Marten boots.

His hair was swept back, and he was beginning to adopt the demeanor of an authoritative CEO.

A month ago, Anthony had hired three experienced secretaries.

Isla Dornan, Laurel Donegan, and Selena Johansen worked as secretaries to the CEOs of Alumni Network, Dragonaire Studio, and Aurora Holdings, respectively.

The three secretaries had related industry experience and were highly educated.

With Isla's help, Sean's personality and character had undergone a vast transformation. The slightly immature look on his face had disappeared, and he now appeared more reliable.

Lily was wearing a striped sweater and a brown skirt. A khaki-colored knitted scarf around her neck highlighted her pretty features and made her look dignified and elegant.

She had the demeanor of a calm, refined woman.

The two of them were a beautiful couple and looked like a match made in heaven. They attracted looks of envy from many passersby.

"What bad luck! I can't believe we are seeing them here, too."

Sarah and Sienna got out of a cab by the side of the road.

Sarah was quiet and did not even look twice at Sean and Lily.

However, Sienna continued talking.

"Sarah, Alumni Network is growing rapidly. Almost everyone at our university has registered on Alumni Network. A conservative estimate of their registered users already places them over 500 thousand users!"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Sarah said expressionlessly, "It's just dumb luck."

Sienna sighed.

"I don't understand. Why don't we have their luck? Your loan company is really struggling under the pressure exerted by SwiftFunds Financial Investments. If this goes on, we won't even be able to make rent for our building!"

SwiftFunds Financial Investments' reputation had spread rapidly in the loan industry over the last month.

The company's inspection and approval process was quick and convenient. They approved unsecured loans. Within a month, they had already loaned out almost 20 million dollars.

SwiftFunds Financial Investments had only been established for less than two months.

Conversely, Sarah's company had spent almost a million in promotional and advertising fees but had only lent out less than 500 thousand dollars.

Sarah took a deep breath and said coldly, "Don't mention the company's name in front of me again!"

She had only recently discovered that SwiftFunds belonged to Wanda. The two people she hated the most were doing much better than she was, which frustrated her immensely.

Sienna saw that Sarah was angry.

She took the latter's arm and said playfully, "Alright. I'll stop talking about them!"

She changed the subject and said, "Sarah, how long is your BMW X5 going to be in the repair shop?"

Sarah's cousin had borrowed her car to take a lady out and had ended up crashing it. For the past few days, Sierra had had to rely on taxis for transport. After being accustomed to riding in luxury cars, Sienna felt it was below her to take taxis.

Sarah pouted.

"Who cares how long it's going to take? Austin's going to give me a new car tonight anyway." Sienna's eyes lit up.

"What kind of car is it? It won't be cheaper than a BMW X5, will it?"

Sarah said confidently, "Of course it won't! Austin earned 20 million last month through trading stocks. The car he bought for me will cost at least one million!"

"20 million? That is so amazing!"

Sienna felt her scalp prickle with shock.

Her mouth felt dry as she said, "Is it difficult to do stock trading? Why don't we learn how to do it too? I'm not greedy. It would be enough just to make 20 thousand a month."

Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Trading in stocks is very risky. It's pretty much like gambling. If you're unlucky, you could lose everything and become bankrupt overnight!"

Sienna laughed awkwardly and said, "Forget it, then. I'd better focus on doing business instead."

Suddenly, Sarah's phone rang from her shoulder bag.

She took out her phone and saw that Austin was calling. Her face lit up immediately into a

happy smile.

"Austin!"

"Sarah, I've got an important meeting tonight, so I don't think I'll be able to have dinner with you!" Austin drawled on the other end of the phone.

The light in Sarah's eyes dimmed, but she said meekly, "It's alright. Work is important." Austin continued, "I've asked someone to send you that car. It'll probably arrive soon!" Sarah couldn't help being curious, so she asked tentatively, "What car model is it?"

Austin said mysteriously, "If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise. You'll find out soon!"

"You're the best, Austin," Sarah said sweetly.

She was very touched.
