Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 

“I’d rather not.” Carlisle rejected the strange man right away. 

The song was for Wanda alone. 

Plus, Carlisle was not short of money, so he did not have to perform for 1000 dollars. 

“What if I give you ten thousand dollars?” The young man gazed at Carlisle with drunken eyes. 

Wanda looked at Carlisle with mixed feelings. She hoped that Carlisle could earn more money, yet she didn’t want to see him casually selling the song he wrote for her. 

“I’m not singing,” Carlisle said firmly. 

*100 thousand dollars!” The young man raised the price again by tenfold. 

Now, even Wanda was tempted. 

100 thousand dollars was enough for an ordinary person to place a downpayment on a house in the 

outskirts, 

Based on current average wages, an ordinary person would only be able to make that kind of money after working for a good few years. 

That said, the young man only requested Carlisle to sing a song in exchange for that exorbitant amount. 

Back then, Wanda didn’t have much desire for wealth. But now, she had to work hard to make money to 

be with Carlisle. 

Only when she and Carlisle became more successful could they be together openly. 

Therefore, she had to make a lot of money. 

Wanda tugged at Carlisle’s sleeve. 

Carlisle held her hand and turned to ask, his voice laced with worry, “What’s wrong?” 

Wanda whispered in his ear, “It’s 100 thousand dollars!” 

“What’s that? You want a million dollars?” Carlisle deliberately raised his voice. 

He would be a fool to refuse the money, but a small sum could no longer satisfy him. 

This young man had a Yorksle accent, and everything on him looked to be expensive. He probably came from a rich family in Yorksle, and 100 thousand dollars was nothing to him. 

If he really wanted to listen to Carlisle’s song again, he should pay a million dollars. 

Wanda widened her eyes in confusion. Did she say that she wanted a million dollars? 

But she soon understood his intentions. Carlisle intended to raise the price yet again, but a million dollars 

was too much.

Even the current top stars were not paid a million dollars for TV appearances. 

Only fools would agree to pay him that much. Perhaps Carlisle purposely said that to make him give up. 

“Okay, deal.” However, the young man actually agreed. 

Wanda and Carlisle were shocked. 

It was true that Carlisle hiked the price to make him give up, yet he actually agreed. 

Wanda’s heart raced, and her eyes widened. She could not help but tighten her grip on Carlisle’s hand. 

Carlisle knew that Wanda was also tempted. A million dollars was a lot of money in this era. 

Olivia was willing to sell herself for 1800 dollars, and Shane washed his roommates‘ clothes for 1 dollar. 

Carlisle’s mother, on the other hand, was working a part–time job assembling hardware parts for around 300-500 dollars. Her hands were chock full of wounds to prove it. 

A million dollars could make an ordinary person financially independent for a long time. 

“Dude, you’re drunk. You should go home now,” Carlisle reminded him kindly. He didn’t want the man to
