Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 568

There were two middle-aged men inside the room.

One of them was dressed in a suit and had a scholarly air.

The other was dressed much simpler. He had a square jaw, which made him look rather intimidating.

Patrick greeted nervously. "Hello, Zac."

Zachary grunted expressionlessly before returning to his seat.

The older man with a square jaw said with a cold expression, "Mr. Thompson has traveled far to be here. You should have reached sooner!"

The elegant older man was Shein.

He looked Patrick up and down, smiled, and said, "An accomplished man will have an equally capable son. Patrick, you seem very capable. If you become a civil servant, your achievements are sure to equal your father's!"

Clifford Simpson laughed. "Everyone has their own ambitions. He doesn't want to be a civil servant, and I can't beg him to do so, can I?"

Shein was secretly disappointed, but he chuckled and said, "Have a seat, Patrick. Your father and I are old friends, so you don't need to stand on formalities."

Clifford worked in politics in Yorksle. He wasn't in a high position, but he did have authority and managed the approval of important resources across the country. All the governors treated him with deference.

His connections in politics were deep-rooted and had created a strong foundation. If Patrick had chosen to be a civil servant, he would have a smooth career path in the future.
