Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 534

The school had to ensure that parents were aware of their child's request for extended leave. Otherwise, if something occurred during the student's absence, the school could also be held responsible.

After Susan conveyed Peter's message to Carlisle, the latter nodded and replied, "Alright then!"

Carlisle stepped out to call his father. When Gordon heard that Carlisle planned to take ten days off, he was taken aback.

If it were his old self, Gordon would have questioned Carlisle about the reason for such an extended leave.

However, this time, he chose to remain silent and instead asked, "What's the dean's phone number?"

Carlisle obtained the dean's number from Susan and provided it to Gordon.

Gordon took down the number in his notebook and called the dean right after ending his phone call with Carlisle.

Half an hour later, Carlisle finally left the office.

As she watched Carlisle leave, Susan murmured softly, "Is he going to find Wanda?"

Given Carlisle's distracted demeanor throughout the day, Susan couldn't think of anyone else who could affect him so profoundly other than Wanda.

When Carlisle reached Willow Grove, he called Wendell.

"Boss," Wendell answered.

"Have you seen Wanda this past month?" Carlisle asked.

Wendell replied, "No. There's a strict attendant named Brenton Krash at the psychiatric rehabilitation hospital. When he's around, no patient can step outside their living area." Carlisle continued, "Do you have any connections with the people there? Can you get me in?" Wendell responded solemnly, "You probably can't get into the hospital directly, but you could join us in making deliveries. There's no guarantee that you'll see Wanda, though..."

Carlisle sighed.

"Find a way. I have to see her."

Wendell hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay. I'll see what I can do, but don't get your hopes up too high..."

After ending the call, Carlisle sat in a chair and flipped through a photo album.

At ten in the morning the following day, Carlisle arrived at Aurora Holdings.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

When he stopped at the entrance, his brand-new Rolls-Royce immediately attracted the attention of many white-collar workers in Windex Building.

"Which CEO owns this? He's loaded!"

"Oh my god, a Rolls-Royce! I wonder if I could even afford the rim of a wheel if I sold my kidney."

When Carlisle got out of the car, some of the white-collar workers stared in astonishment. "It's Mr. Zahn."

"Isn't Aurora Holdings something? Even our boss, Mr. Zahn, has switched to a Rolls-Royce!

Selena, who was waiting for the elevator, immediately greeted Carlisle when she saw him," Good morning, Mr. Zahn."

"Good morning," Carlisle responded, nodding.

When the elevator opened, he walked straight in.

The companies in Windex Building now had staggered work hours. Aurora Holdings was the only company that started working at ten in the morning. Although their workday started later in the morning, the end of their workday was also extended.

Selena followed Carlisle into the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor. As the elevator ascended, she struck a conversation with him.

"Mr. Zahn, don't you have school today?"

Carlisle replied, "I took a leave of absence. I'm here today to handle some work."

Selena asked, "How long will you be away?"

"Ten days, or maybe longer," Carlisle answered.

It was October 22nd, which meant that there were 18 days until Wanda's birthday on November 9th. Carlisle had resolved that he wouldn't return to Riverland until he saw Wanda.

Carlisle gave Gareth a call when he arrived at the office.

Gareth, who was still groggy, was immediately energized upon receiving Carlisle's call.

He answered lazily, "Carl, why are you calling during class?"

"Gareth, please come to Aurora Holdings."

"Huh? Aren't you at school?"

Gareth was shocked. He recalled that Carlisle had never taken time off from school. Carlisle

had even joked that nothing but a seven-figure project should interrupt his studies. Gareth wondered if this meant that Carlisle had found another huge business opportunity.

With that thought, Gareth suddenly perked up and said, "I'm on my way."

Gareth arrived at Carlisle's office about an hour later. Dressed in formal attire and having carefully styled his hair, he exuded a mischievous and casual demeanor. Seeing Felicia and Anthony also present, Gareth smiled and asked, "What's up?"
