Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 12

Some years back, Gerard had made a fortune selling illegal CDs. Hence, he managed to buy a house and

a car in the county.

Although he hasn’t been making much for the past few years, he still had a hefty saving of several tens of

thousands.

He wasn’t considered wealthy, but he was also slightly above the middle class

Gordon could tell from the shock in Gerard’s eyes that Carlisle had guessed correctly.

Gerard had made a fortune!

It just so happened that he had lost his job recently. Who knows? His brother might even allow him to

work for him.

Although the chances were low, he knew he had to succumb during times of need for the sake of his

family.

Gerard picked up the cup and took a sip. “I didn’t make much, just enough to afford two Santanas!”

Two Santanas were equivalent to almost 500 thousand dollars!

Gordon’s eyes shone brightly. “What are you doing to earn so much money? Why don’t you let me join you?

Gerard smiled. “Didn’t you also earn a small fortune? You hadn’t bought a car when we met back in our

hometown last year!”

Gordon sighed and downed down a glass.

Then, he confessed the truth with a small grin. “I borrowed this car from my supervisor!”

Maria couldn’t help but burst out in laughter. “So it was all an act, wasn’t it?”

At first, she thought Gordon had earned a healthy amount, so she held back with her snarky remarks. But

who would have thought that he had borrowed the car?

*Gordon, you should own up to your reality if you’re in a tight spot. What’s the use of acting and pretending like you do? Don’t act so prideful. You might mislead your son!” Maria said mockingly.

Hilda’s cheeks were burning as she glared at Gordon. Gordon could be shameless and forgo his pride if

he wanted to! But what about her and their son?

Gordon touched his nose and laughed.

“Gerard, is there any way for us to work together? We can go big and grow our wealth together. That way, we’ll be able to shine. The people from our hometown would also stop looking down on us!”

“Gordon, I think you’ve misunderstood something Those people don’t look down on us. They only look down on you!” Gerard said with a smile. The disdain in his eyes was strong while he sipped his drink.

“We are brothers. Can’t you just help me?” Gordon said with a shy smile.

“Your fate is in your own hands!” Gerard said calmly. He had no intention of helping Gordon.
