Chương 152: Point of No Return

Charlotte gave a dry laugh. "What are you talking about? Is this some movie reference I missed?"

I sighed, pulling out a chair and sitting down across from her. "No, Charlotte. I really need to apologize. I told you I wouldn't hide anything from you, but I did."

She squinted her eyes. "You're acting kinda weird."

"I was a market analyst for the Johnson Family in my past life," I said, keeping my tone steady. "I came back from 2034 to 2002—thirty-two years back. That's how I managed to make money so quickly. I knew how stocks would move."

I was completely serious, and I could see her confusion slowly shifting to disbelief. "Okay... Let's say it's true. Was I your girlfriend in your past life, then?"

"No. I never even met you in my past life. I got married much later, but my wife left me."

"Did you go to the same university?"

"Yes. You know Sam. He was my friend in my past life too. He recommended me to a job at his family."
