Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 542

Benjamin's face darkened.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Heath, that bitch is shameless. I'll have Scar teach her a lesson tonight!"

Heath said nothing, but his icy expression spoke volumes about his mood. He was no saint, but at least he didn't bully the weak or extort businesses. Karen's attempt to confiscate Gordon's nearly expired products could be considered daylight robbery.

Just then, Gordon, Hilda, and Hayley emerged from the store. Hayley had just finished her phone call and was waiting for Owen by the side of the road.

Karen finally approached Benjamin with heavy footsteps.

Before Benjamin could speak, Karen fell to her knees with a loud thud. Tears streamed down her face.

"Mr. Benjamin, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me just this once!"

"Apologizing to me won't help. You need to apologize to the people you have offended," Benjamin said coldly.

Karen turned to look at Hayley, who was also looking at her. Karen crawled over to the latter on her knees.

Hilda stared at Heath and Benjamin, her eyes reflecting a complicated mix of emotions. Even Ivan's aunt was afraid of them. She wondered who exactly Carlisle's friends were.

Gordon had already figured it out, but his expression was uneasy. He didn't want Carlisle to go down the wrong path. It looked glamorous, but it was all too easy to cross the line into crime.

Karen knelt before Hayley.

"I'm sorry. It was all my fault. Please forgive me..."

Hayley was taken aback. A moment ago, Karen had been arrogant and overbearing, but now she was on her knees, begging for forgiveness after asking for Ivan's help.

She glanced at Heath in his wheelchair and Benjamin beside him and realized that the duo were not ordinary.

Karen continued to apologize. Her knees were red from kneeling, but she didn't stop.

Suddenly, a black Mazda pulled up to the side of the road and honked. Hayley looked out the window and saw Owen exit the car. He had a buzz cut and wore a tailored suit that made him appear sharp. Hayley almost didn't recognize him.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Owen asked, smiling as he walked over.

Hayley snapped out of her daze and hugged Owen excitedly.

"You little rascal. You've changed so much..."

Owen used to have dyed blond hair and a rebellious attitude. Now, with his clean-cut look and suit, he looked like an adult.

Owen noticed Karen kneeling on the floor and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

Hayley turned to Karen.

"You can get up now. I forgive you."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Karen was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Then, she crawled over to Gordon and Hilda.

"I was just trying to get free stuff from you. Please forgive me."

"We accept your apology. You can get up now!" Hilda urged.

Karen was overjoyed. She quickly stood up and ran over to Ivan. Ivan was talking to

Benjamin, bowing and scraping.

"Heath, Benjamin, Karen isn't very bright and doesn't know any better. I'll make sure her family leaves Rainville and never bothers you again."

Benjamin's face remained stoic.

"For Scar's sake, let's leave it at that."

"Thank you, Benjamin. Thank you!" Ivan said repeatedly before pulling Karen away.
