Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



"It's a long story. Carlos favors sons over daughters. Though his wife gave birth to a daughter, their second child—a son-was stillborn. The surgery caused severe bleeding and infected his wife's uterus, leading to a life-saving hysterectomy. Soon after, Carlos divorced his wife and remarried, not providing a cent in child support!"

Daniel revealed the company rumor through gritted teeth.

"That scumbag! Why didn't your father fire such an employee?"

Carlisle couldn't help but curse, his rage fueling.

"We can't interfere in other people's family matters, can we? My dad only cares if his subordinates can bring profit to the company. Besides, the Xenos Factory had over a thousand employees at its peak. He didn't even have time to rest, let alone interfere with other people's private affairs," Daniel responded honestly.

Daniel's words left Carlisle silent. Daniel had a point. With multiple companies in hand, Carlisle began to feel the weight of his job, knowing that he would have more and more employees as his business expanded. He wouldn't have time to poke his nose into his employee's private affairs simply because of gossip.

Therefore, he decided to establish a Supervisory Board at Aurora Holdings. This board would be in charge of monitoring the corporate management's discipline.

"Francis..."

Carlisle stuck his head out to call Francis.

"Yes?" Francis responded after handing five hundred dollars to Zadie, who thanked him in

tears.

"Get her to come closer," Carlisle added.

Francis said to Zadie expressionlessly, "Our boss wants to see you."

Zadie timidly stood up and approached the car.

"Zadie Zeigler! It's really you!"

Eyes widening, Zadie turned to run but was caught by Francis.

"What are you running from?" Francis questioned, gripping her wrist.

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

Zadie struggled frantically.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Barely using his strength, Francis held her effortlessly. Zadie lowered her head to bite his arm, but Francis seized her with ease.

"Zadie, we're not going to hurt you. If you're in trouble, you can tell me. Even though my

family has fallen on hard times, I can still provide you with some financial aid," Daniel said, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I'm not Zadie! You've got the wrong person! Let go of me! Help!"

Zadie shook her head vigorously, her disheveled hair falling over her face.

Daniel's expression darkened.

"Is there anyone you can turn to besides me?"

Zadie stopped struggling at his words.

"Carl, I'll take a cab to Windex Building. See you there!" Shane said before hailing a cab by the roadside.

"Let's get in the car," Carlisle urged.

Daniel moved to the front passenger seat while Francis shoved Zadie into the back seat, making it look as if he were a human trafficker.

As the car resumed its journey, Daniel turned to Zadie and said, "Zadie, that guy sitting next to you is the current chairman of Xenos Factory."

Zadie slightly trembled and moved away from Carlisle to keep her distance.

Carlisle kept his head down, showing no intention of engaging with her.

Meanwhile, at Xenos Factory, Ryan was in the middle of a management meeting.

Hearing his phone buzz, he glanced at it and found a message from Carlisle.

"Send your R&D director to the chairman's office on the 18th floor, A block, Windex Building!"

Ryan was puzzled. He wondered why Carlisle wanted to see the R&D director instead of himself. He considered if it was because Carlisle didn't trust him or that Carlos had perhaps undermined him in front of Carlisle.

"Mr. Zeigler, you've been requested to go to the chairman's office on the 18th floor, A block, Windex Building," Ryan informed the gentleman seated in the first seat on his right.

Adjusting his glasses, Carlos smiled and asked, "Are they planning to work with us on a new project?"
