Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 699 "Wendell?"

Carlisle couldn't be bothered to deal with Sarah and Sienna's embarrassing antics, so he simply got Wendell to chase them off.

"Please leave."

Wendell got up and began walking toward the two ladies. His broad physique and cold expression were incredibly intimidating.

Sienna said angrily, "Carlisle, you're inhumane! We're still high school classmates. How could you-"

"Do you need a refresher of what happened at Papplewick Tea Shop?" Gareth asked, looking at Sienna.

His head was tilted to one side, and an evil smirk on his lips. Sienna shuddered and quickly ducked behind Sarah. She clearly remembered everything that had happened at Papplewick Tea Shop that day.noveldrama

It was her first time ever getting beaten. Her face had swelled up and needed a few days to recover fully. The worst part was that she had no way of getting revenge. Even Manny, the leader of Gaston's gang, feared Gareth.

If even they didn't dare to go against Gareth, what could Sienna do?

"You've always wanted to prove yourself, right, Carlisle? I hope you don't donate less than me," Sarah spat out before dragging Sienna away.

Sean said through gritted teeth, "I guess leopards really can't change their spots. Those two idiots really piss me off!"

Lily caressed the back of his hand gently as she consoled him, "You know they're just dumb. Don't stoop down to their level. Carlisle just chased them off, see?"

Carlisle smiled serenely and said, "They'll find out how ignorant they were just now in a moment. The best way to destroy their dignity is for them to find out how much more powerful we are!"

At that point, the donation event lasted for an hour and a half. The transparent donation box was already more than half full with checks.

"Hello, everyone. May I ask for everyone to be silent for a moment?"

Yuriel suddenly picked up the microphone and spoke into it. All the chatting businessmen in the room began to quiet down as they shifted their focus to Yuriel.

With a smile, Yuriel said, "Alumni Network has been the talk of the town recently. I am sure everyone's curious about the person behind a giant social network like that and how this network managed to achieve over eight million users within just two months."

As he spoke, he looked down at Carlisle's table and continued, "Today, I've invited the creators of Alumni Network and Aurora Holdings, the company behind Alumni Network. Aren't you guys interested in meeting the youngest entrepreneurs in Riverland?"

"Quit beating around the bush, Mr. Gust! Alumni Network is famous now. Let us business veterans see how powerful the new generation of entrepreneurs are before we retire!" an

older gentleman called out from his seat below the stage.

Yuriel sighed and said, "They're all university students who are still studying, so they're pretty lowkey when discussing work and dealing with clients. After all, they're a new business and have much to deal with, so I hope everyone here can understand."

It seemed like a compliment to Alumni Network and Aurora Holdings, but Yuriel was actually pushing them right into the eye of the storm.

He deliberately mentioned that the two of them were university students. By bringing up their subtlety when it came to business matters, it meant one of two things. Either people believed it to be true, or people would assume that Sean and Carlisle were arrogant, cocky, and couldn't be bothered to respect others.

As expected, many younger businessmen thought they perfectly understood Yuriel's veiled compliments and began to chat about the two companies.

"Mr. Gust is too nice to say it too straightforwardly. I bet Alumni Network and Aurora Holdings aren't planning to donate!"

"They're just university students. How impressive could their companies really be?"

"Alumni Network is just a viral sensation for now. They won't be able to keep this momentum in the future."

"Good observation! Besides, their whole marketing tactic is to reward newcomers. That's basically the same as a pyramid scheme! We should bring it up to the commercial

department and get them to really look into Alumni Network!"

"I think Mr. Gust is only complimenting them to put them at a disadvantage!"

The young businessmen were all simply jealous.

After all, Alumni Network's eight million users couldn't be denied. If all the users were realized as assets, then Alumni Network's future would be a bright one.
