Chapter 517
When Carlisle asloed the question, he clenched his left fist.
He had guessed that Wanda was betrothed to someone, but he wasn't sure if he was right.
Queenie had reminded him that it would be impossible for him and Wanda to have a happy ending
It would seem natural for her to say that as she was thinking of things from the Thompsons point of view.
However, Gareth had said the same thing to him.
Gareth didn't know the Thompsons well, and he was friends with Carlisle.
It was strange for him to say something like that.
Carlisle had been suspicious at the time.
In his past life, Wanda's life trajectory had included her marriage to an executive at Thompson Group, which was why he had never thought of Wanda having a marriage alliance with an elite family.
Despite his current relationship with Gareth, the latter had still refused to tell him, which had forced Carlisle to consider several possibilities.
Shania stuttered, "Y-y-you-"
Carlisle slowly relaxed his clenched fist.
Based on how much Shania was stuttering, he must have guessed correctly.
There was a pleading note in Carlisle's voice as he said, "Please tell me, Shania. I know that you support Wanda and me, and I want to know what kind of person my rival is."
Shania sighed. "There is a very powerful figure from the Yorksle Murray family that very few people know about. His influence extends to the fields of politics and business, and when Wanda was two years old, she was promised in marriage to the third son of the Murray family."
Carlisle squinted and asked, "Does Wanda know about that?"
Shania answered, "Even I only found out about it last year, let alone Wanda. Even Lethan doesn't know about it!"
She asked curiously, "How did you find out?"
Carlisle pressed his thin lips together. "I guessed."
Shania was lost for words.
"Get some rest, Shania." Carlisle hung up.
He took a pen and wrote the words "the Murrays" in his diary.
He tried searching them on the Internet, but there was no information that could be found on them.
Carlisle was not discouraged by how powerful the Murrays were
It motivated him even more.
Since Wanda was promised to someone, why had she ended up marrying an executive from Thompson Group?
Carlisle could not make any sense of it
After a moment's silence, he muttered to himself, "There are many possibilities."
Perhaps something had happened to her fiancé.
Perhaps something big would happen to the Murrays in the future.
Or had the Thompson Group executive used despicable means to hurt Wanda?
Carlisle determined that no one would be able to take Wanda from him.
He turned off the computer and washed up before falling into bed and going to sleep.
After that, Carlisle continued his daily routine of going to university during the day and going to sign documents at the office after classes.
When he got back from the office, he would sit at the computer and look through photo albums of him and Wanda.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month came.
It was another bright and sunny weekend.
Carlisle sat on the balcony, reading.
He pulled his jacket tighter around him and crossed 29th November on his calendar.
The temperature in Riverland had dropped to single figures.
Although it was bright and sunny, it could not disperse the bone-chilling cold that came with the wind.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Carlisle took a photo album from his desk drawer to look through the photos.
He hoped Wanda would remember to keep warm, especially as the weather was getting cold.
Carlisle flipped through the album to a photo of Wanda smiling at the camera.
He set the album upright on his desk and smiled slightly as he looked at her beaming face. There was a knock on his door.
