Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 

Gerard also did not want Carlisle’s girlfriend to be a daughter of a wealthy family. 

To clear his growing doubt, Gerard asked with a smile, “Carlisle, you and Ms. Thompson are more than classmates, right?” 

“We are whatever you think we are.” Carlisle gave an ambiguous answer. 

Feeling awkward, Gerard turned to look at Wanda and asked, “Ms. Thompson-” 

“Are you perhaps inquiring into my personal life right now?” Wanda interrupted Gerard while eating the shrimp peeled by Carlisle. 

Gerard instantly closed his mouth. He had yet to sign the contract for the loan, so he couldn’t afford to offend Wanda. 

Wanda soon put down her cutlery and said to Carlisle, “I’m done.” 

Carlisle finished the food on his plate and smiled. “Let’s go for a walk?” 

Wanda pursed her lips and nodded. 

At this moment, Jenny asked Gerard, “Mr. Zahn, do you want to do the credential check now or tomorrow? 

“Let’s do it now!” Gerard would only feel at ease after getting the money. 

“Okay, then follow me to the company.” Jenny soon left with Gerard. 

Christine and Phoebe also went to the company to learn from Jenny. 

Before leaving, however, Gerard paid for the dinner and asked where Maria was. 

The security guard thereafter led him to the VIP room, where Maria was watching TV and leisurely eating fruit on the sofa. 

“Mary, let’s go,” Gerard called out to her. But Maria ignored him and continued to munch on the apple. 

Gerard walked over, sat down, and placated her. “I know you’re very angry but I had no choice. The project with Windex Corporation is very urgent. If we can’t get the funds in time, we might be robbed of our 

chance.” 

Maria asked coldly, “Is that why you left me outside?” 

Gerard replied helplessly, “Carlisle was Wanda’s classmate in high school, and he’s probably her boyfriend. If you continued to make a scene, would we still get the funds from her?” 

“What did you say?” Maria was taken aback. “Carlisle is that brat’s boyfriend?” 

Gerard nodded. “That’s what I’m assuming, but it’s highly likely.” 

Maria did not want Carlisle and his family to be well–off any more than Gerard did. After hearing what 

Gerard said, she scornfully replied, “No way, his family will never prosper!” 

Then, she added with a click of the tongue, “So what if he’s that brat’s boyfriend? He won’t be able to stand tall if he has to leech off of her.” 

After talking for a while, Maria finally agreed to leave with Gerard. 

Meanwhile, Carlisle and Wanda had already arrived at Shane’s table outside. 

Daniel was stunned to see Wanda coming out with Carlisle. They were walking so closely together.
