Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 

Shein responded with mild indifference, “It’s rare to find someone so righteous at his age. You could learn a thing or two from him.” 

Meanwhile, Wanda, who was hiding in the warehouse, felt a sense of contentment hearing her father praise Carlisle. 

“Oh, Carlisle, remember this is your future father–in–law. Best behavior, okay?” Wanda silently urged. 

Zachary scoffed, “Learn from him? Do you even realize how out of line he was? If I hadn’t stepped in, he’d 

be in serious trouble. If he sets the example, it’s the end of the Thompson family legacy!” 

Wanda tightened her fists in annoyance. “Why does Zachary always have to be so mean? Can’t he just be civil?” she fumed inwardly. 

Shein shot Zachary a stern look. “Shut up!” 

Shein thought to himself that Zachary needed a good talking–to when they got back home, especially 

considering he was being so rude in front of Yuriel. 

Zachary rolled his eyes, thinking, “This guy’s almost run off with your daughter, and you’re defending him?” 

Shein then smiled at Carlisle and reassured, “Lad, that’s just how my son is. Don’t take it to heart.” 

Carlisle grinned. “It’s okay. He’s not wrong. I underestimated the situation and ended up in trouble 

because of it.” 

Yuriel turned to Carlisle and asked, “Are you here to buy paintings too?” 

Carlisle nodded. “My grandfather’s birthday is coming up. He loves paintings, so I came to find something 

special. 

Zachary eyed the painting in Carlisle’s hand and then glanced at the money in the Retrovintique owner’s hand. It looked like around 100 thousand dollars. 

“That painting looks expensive,” Zachary remarked, suspecting Carlisle had swindled Wanda financially. 

“It wasn’t cheap, and it cost me 100 thousand dollars,” Carlisle replied honestly. 

“Come with me,” Zachary said expressionlessly as he headed outside. 

Carlisle quietly followed him. 

With his father and Yuriel present, Zachary wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him, would he? 

Once outside, Carlisle noticed a dozen well–dressed bodyguards standing by the entrance. 

Zachary lit a cigarette, then pressed Carlisle against the wall, coldly warning, “Carlisle, let me remind you, stay away from my sister. She’s not someone you can mess with.” 

Carlisle calmly replied, “You can’t dictate Wanda’s feelings.”

“Smack!” 

Zachary punched Carlisle in the face, causing him to stumble. 

Several passersby stopped to look. The bodyguards quickly lined up to block the view of the onlookers. 

Zachary grabbed Carlisle’s collar and sneered, “You might not have known what the Thompson family was like before, and I can’t blame you for that. But understand this: the Thompson family is a league you’ll 

never join.”
