Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 609

Tears were brimming in Bianca's eyes. She hadn't even had a chance to make any calls yet, but Wanda's phone call had already gotten her line barred.

How could she call anyone now?

"Bianca... I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to make such a long call..." Wanda shrank back into her blankets until only her eyes were visible. She looked very apologetic.

She had been desperate to know about her past with Carlisle, and the more she had heard, the more invested she had become. She hadn't noticed the time, and when the call ended abruptly, she thought Christine had fallen asleep.

Bianca looked huffily at Wanda. "There's no way for me to top up the money for my phone in this place. Now we can't contact anyone outside at all! I don't care. You have to make this up to me!"

Wanda knew she was in the wrong, so she said meekly, "What would you like me to do for you?"

"Let me touch you again!" Bianca snickered and jumped over to her.

Maisie was making breakfast downstairs when she heard the two young women giggling upstairs.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She couldn't help smiling.

People around the same age always got on better.

Bianca was autistic, and with Wanda's companionship, her condition seemed to be improving much faster.

Upstairs, Bianca was scrabbling enthusiastically at Wanda's nightdress.

Wanda was very athletic. In fact, she even got the approval of Lawrence when she was in military training.

She managed to overpower Bianca very quickly and pinned the latter down underneath her. While doing so, she accidentally pulled Bianca's top off her shoulder.

Suddenly, Wanda froze.

Bianca's shoulder was covered in scars.

They crawled across her skin like worms.

"Wanda... I was wrong... Please let me go!" Bianca's head was covered by a pillow. She begged for mercy.

When Wanda did not move, Bianca flung the pillow away.

She saw Wanda staring at her shoulder, and her smile slowly froze. Then she wrested herself out of Wanda's grasp and pulled her shirt up roughly to hide the scars.

She pouted and said, "It's so ugly! Don't look at it, Wanda, especially at night."

Wanda took a long time to recover. The scars had clearly been inflicted with a knife. There were already so many scars on her shoulder. What about the rest of her body?

What had Bianca been through?

Why had she been sent to this place?

They had known each other for so long, but Wanda had never had a proper conversation with Bianca.

"Those..." Wanda hesitated. She was afraid that she would bring up painful memories for Bianca.

"My stepmother did that to me," Bianca murmured softly as she curled up.

Wanda lay on her side beside Bianca and pulled her gently into her arms. She said comfortingly, "Don't be scared. I'll protect you."

Bianca told Wanda about her story.

The Yarnells of Yorskle had just been an average working-class family.

Bianca's grandfather was named William Yarnell.

William had a son and a daughter.

His son was Calvin Yarnell, while his daughter was Rosalie.

It was true that one person's fortune could change the luck of the entire family.

After Rosalie married into a prestigious family, the status of the Yarnells rose drastically overnight.

William became renowned in the business world thanks to Rosalie's connections.

Within a year, he had accumulated over one hundred million in assets.

It had been 1987 at the time, and the average salary of a worker was only 50 dollars a month, which was enough for them to keep food on the table.

Calvin had had enough of living frugally, and he used the money that William had earned to climb up the social ladder. He was generous with his money and quickly gained fame as a wealthy business owner.
