Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

Sarah started feeling uneasy as she watched Austin be very polite to Lethan. 

More so with how Lethan stared at her–it was intimidating. 

Lethan cut in coldly, “Well? Go on. What were you about to say?” 

Even without Sarah finishing her sentence, Lethan seemed to already know what she was thinking. 

He wouldn’t allow anyone to bully his niece. 

Sarah cowered behind Austin, trembling. 

Austin forced a smile and said, “Mr. Warbane, please, calm down. My girlfriend didn’t mean any harm. Surely, you wouldn’t hold it against her, right?” 

But Lethan remained unmoved. 

He responded in a flat tone, “Either your girlfriend apologizes to my niece, or your dad can come fetch her. 

With a deep breath, Austin pulled Sarah forward with a blank face. 

“Mr. Warbane is indeed Wanda’s uncle, Please apologize to Wanda.” 

Tears welled up in Sarah’s eyes. 

She had thought Wanda’s dad was the supposedly tough one. She wondered why even her uncle was 

someone Austin couldn’t mess with. 

She hadn’t managed to humiliate Carlisle last night and couldn’t sleep a wink because of it. 

That day, she tried to humiliate Wanda but ended up with an egg on her face instead. 

Hands behind her back, Wanda looked at Sarah with a smirk and said, “What are you waiting for? Just 

apologize already.” 

Wanda realized Sarah’s behavior had become even more ruthless than in high school. 

She knew there was no need to tolerate it anymore. It was time to fight back. 

Lethan was furious seeing Sarah in tears. He demanded, “Say you’re sorry.” 

Sarah, visibly shaken, quickly muttered, “I–I’m sorry…” 

Lethan pressed further, “Is that apology for me?” 

Sarah wiped her tears and turned to Wanda, saying, “Wanda, I’m sorry… 

It was simply too humiliating for Sarah. She wondered when she would finally gain the upper hand over Carlisle and Wanda. 

“Sarah, remember, words can bring trouble. It’s about time you learned to show some respect Wanda

advised before heading over to her uncle’s car. 

Lethan shot a look at Austin and remarked, “Keep your girlfriend in check.” 

Austin smiled slightly. 

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Warbane. I’ll have a talk with her.” 

With a disdainful snort, Lethan climbed into his car, started the engine, and drove off. 

Not too far away, Logan chuckled to herself, “Austin’s got himself a young girlfriend, but she doesn’t seem too bright.” 

Austin swiftly smoothed things over for Sarah, thanks to his father’s connections. 

As they settled into the Porsche, Sarah pouted and grumbled, “Austin, when are you guys going to take down the Thompson family finally?” 

Clearly frustrated, Austin gripped the steering wheel tightly and muttered, “That day’s not too far off. Trust 

me.” 

“When it happens, I want them to have nowhere to hide in Riverland!” 

Sarah’s face was filled with cold determination. 

As Austin drove the Porsche out of the parking lot, he turned to Sarah and said, “Sarah, just a heads up- let’s try to keep things low–key for now. My dad’s in the thick of dealing with the Thompsons, so we can’t stir up any major trouble.” 

“Got it.” Sarah nodded. 

“Also, loaning can be a risky business. I’m thinking of getting you a financial advisor and a lawyer. You’ll need to heed their advice,” Austin added. 

“Well, that might not be necessary. I’ve already got my cousin on board. She’s been working at another loan company for three years,” Sarah replied cautiously while keeping an eye on Austin’s reaction. 

Austin steered with one hand while the other rested on Sarah’s smooth leg. 

His voice was deep and magnetic as he said, “The company is yours, so it’s your call. But now that your company is established, don’t you think you owe me something?” 

Sarah’s face flushed even redder, and she lowered her head. 

She whispered, “I… I’m on my period…” 

A smirk played across Austin’s lips. “There are other ways, you know.” 

Baffled, Sarah asked, “What other ways do you mean?” 

Austin flashed a wicked smile as he drove towards his mansion.
