Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 725

The seven-seater van was quite spacious. In addition to the driver's and front passenger seats, there were two seats in the middle and three in the back.

Francis sat in the front passenger seat, with Carlisle and Daniel in the middle row, while Christine, Phoebe, and Carmen took the back row.

"Where should I sit?" Wendell asked, standing by the door.

"You can take the boss' car," Francis said, shutting the door before instructing the driver, " Let's go."

The driver drove off as directed.

The car smelled like the perfume Christine and Phoebe were wearing. It was clear this vehicle was exclusively for them.

"It sure smells nice in here!" Daniel remarked, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. He inexplicably abruptly crossed his legs.

Sitting in the back, Phoebe whispered, "Carmen, why didn't you fall for that message in the first place?"

Blushing, Carmen replied, "I only have a hundred dollars. I couldn't possibly gather ten thousand, even if my parents gave me all of their savings. Since there was nothing I could do to help, I decided to ignore the message."

Christine sighed.

"So much for all the education I've had!"

Phoebe held Christine's hand and comforted her, "It wasn't your fault. These scammers were just too good at their act. Even I fell for it."

Looking at the seat in front of her, Carmen remarked, "It's a good thing our class monitor, Carlisle, is too smart to be fooled. He could tell it was a scam even before picking up the call."

Carlisle scratched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He had actually learned his lesson after falling for a scam in his past life.

A black SUV was parked outside Riverwatch District Second Hospital. Four large men sat silently in the backseat.noveldrama

Xane Clifton, a skinny man with a mohawk, occupied the driver's seat while Anna Stone, a pregnant woman, sat beside him.

"Xane, let's call it quits after these last jobs, okay?" Anna gently touched her belly as she spoke softly.

Xane leaned in and placed his ear on her belly.

"Like I said, we're out once we hit three million. We've been through enough, and I don't want our kid to go through what we have."

"But..."

"It's for the sake of our baby," Xane cut her off with a serious look.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Slumping back in his seat, Xane answered the call weakly, "Dad, are you here yet?"

There was silence on the other end.

"Dad?" Xane called out again.

"Yes, son?"

Daniel suddenly appeared outside the car window, holding a phone. He scared the hell out of Xane.

"Who the hell are you? You want a piece of me, huh?"

Xane glared at Daniel, his voice filled with fury.

Daniel held the phone to his ear and responded playfully, "Sonny, it's me-your daddy!"

The four burly men in the back seat immediately emerged and surrounded Daniel, crossing their arms and staring at him with intimidating looks. Even though Daniel was five foot two and weighed 170 pounds, he appeared relatively small beside them.

Forcing a nervous grin, Daniel stammered, "I, um... sorry?"

With that, he quickly turned and sprinted away.

"Get him!" Xane shouted.
