Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 727

Xane slumped in a chair in the waiting area, his gaze fixed on the delivery room door.

Sitting next to him, Carlisle casually asked, "You've been to high school, so you know that fraud is illegal, right?"

Xane smiled bitterly.

"Anna and I have struggled to make ends meet for ten years. I just wanted to give her a better life. Maybe even a home for our baby."

"That doesn't mean you can commit a crime to get what you want. Have you thought about the fact that you probably won't be able to live peacefully with your family after getting money through scams?

"What would your child think if they discovered their father was a scammer? Your actions won't just burden you. They'll weigh on your wife and child, too!"

Carlisle glanced at Xane, his expression emotionless. He wouldn't cut Xane any slack just because the latter had a rough past. After all, there were people out there in even worse situations. If he hadn't intervened, Xane might have scammed more people-including those whose lives were more desperate than his own.

In his previous life, Carlisle had seen countless cases where victims' emergency funds were stolen or stolen through schemes in shared videos.
