Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel
Chapter 623

Chapter 623

Wendell and the others were at Glamor Hotel. They were gathered around a coffee table, eating roast lamb and drinking expensive whiskey.

Carlisle held a panoramic photo of Maple Hill with eight red circles drawn. Every circle was a village around Maple Hill, and they were all very close to the Maple Hill hospital.

The villagers in all eight villages had received 200 dollars in cash, and every family had a thousand dollars worth of fireworks stored in their homes.

These fireworks would be lit punctually at 8:30 pm on the 20th. After all, Wanda liked fireworks.

Carlisle had never officially confessed to Wanda because he had wanted to give her a confession she would never forget. He had wanted Wanda to watch a lavish fireworks display on her 18th birthday, after which he would confess to her as everyone at the university bore witness to his declaration of love. He wanted everyone to know that Wanda was the luckiest woman in the world.

Unfortunately, things had not turned out as planned.

In the two months that had passed since university had started, too many things had happened. He couldn't even attend Wanda's 18th birthday in person.

When he had delivered the supplies, Carlisle had seen the villages in Maple Hill on the way there. The idea of preparing an extravagant fireworks display for Wanda with the villages' help came to him then.

Carlisle raised his glass and said, "Thank you for all your hard work over the past few days. Cheers to all of you!"

"It was no trouble!"

"It's what we should do!"

"Thank you for your concern, boss!"

Everyone spoke simultaneously as they clinked their glasses and downed their drinks.

Kevin chortled and said, "You're so romantic, boss. This is a fireworks display that is worth more than one million dollars! I bet the entire city of Yorksle will be in an uproar!"

Zack held a leg of lamb and feasted happily on it.

"You're so sweet to Ms. Wanda, boss. She's sure to be touched!"

Wendell noisily gulped down two mouthfuls of whiskey, looking troubled.

Francis asked in confusion, "What are you worried about?"

At Francis' question, Carlisle, Kevin, and Zack also turned to look at Wendell. Suddenly, the

doorbell rang. Kevin went to open the door at once.

It was Tyler!

He was holding two bottles of Romanée-Conti.

"Oh, I see that you're already drinking!"

Tyler grinned as he walked in.

"Mr. Duvall!"

Carlisle got up to greet him.

Francis, Wendell, and the others stood up as well.

"Hello, Mr. Duvall."

"Don't be so formal! Let's all sit down."

Tyler waved a hand hastily and strode over to them.

Over his career in the business world, he had met many businessmen, and naturally, he had encountered many bodyguards as well. The men with Carlisle looked rough and ready. He noticed their eyes had turned sharp and wary the moment he entered. Clearly, they were there to protect Carlisle's safety, and they were just as professional as the bodyguards hired by renowned entrepreneurs.

Carlisle saw that Tyler was full of energy.

He smiled as he said, "You're positively glowing, Mr. Duvall. You must have had a good time over the past two days."

"You taught me well, Carl! On that very day, I moved on from my 33 years of life as a single man."

Tyler laughed as he placed the two bottles of Romanée-Conti before Carlisle.

"A few days ago, a friend sent me a crate of these bottles. They're from 1985. I'll give you two."

The price of a single bottle of 1985 Romanée-Conti was in the six figures. Carlisle had heard that the Romanée-Conti was the Rolls-Royce of wine. Older bottles of Romanée-Conti could even be sold for several million dollars, and some millionaires and billionaires bought them.
