Chapter 269

Alexander couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when he detected anxiety in Jed's tone. He knew Jed better than

anyone. Very few people in the world could make his father this nervous to this extent. Those who could were all

individuals the Arnoult family could not afford to offend.

Now, this mysterious big shot had managed to scare Jed with just a phone call, which clearly meant that they

were not someone to be taken lightly.

Alexander glared at Charlotte, feeling a sense of frustration.

Having heard their entire conversation, Charlotte couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alexander, what did | tell you? You can't afford to offend me. Forget about Gordon. | have plenty of powerful

people backing me! You'll untieright now and apologize properly if you're smart. Otherwise, I'll make the

Arnoult family disappear overnight!"

Alexander was livid at her words. But at the stime, he knew that she was indeed someone he couldn't afford

to offend. If even Jed was that frightened, how could he not be?

Realizing this, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly untied Charlotte.

| couldn't help but feel confused. | had called Victor to save Isabelle, so how had it turned into saving Charlotte?

But even if it was to save her, it was fine as long as she remembered to release Isabelle immediately.

Charlotte stood up after being freed and stretched her wrists before suddenly raising her hand to deliver a slap

across Alexander's face. "This slap is for the one you gaveearlier."

She had been terrified earlier and pleading for her life. But now, freed from her torment, she no longer felt fear,

only pure rage.

She slapped him again. "This slap is for abductingin the first place!"

After two consecutive slaps, Alexander's face turned ashen, but he dared not fight back. He could only stand

there. He clenches his fists while grinding his teeth.

At that moment, Jed's frantic voice cthrough the phone screen.

"Alexander made a mistake! It's not this slut! It's the other one! You abducted two women today, didn't you? The

big shot who called said the woman we need to release is the other one, not Charlotte!"

The whole rundown factory fell silent.

Charlotte slowly turned her head, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at the phone screen. "Mr. Jed, what

did you say? You must be mistaken! How could it be only Isabelle and not me?"

Jed chuckled. "I don't know, but that's what the big shot said!"

| nodded. That was indeed precisely what | had said.

Vol.ne

Charlotte hadn't been too kind tothat day. She had insultedrepeatedly and had even tried to provoke

me. | couldn't bring myself to sympathize with a woman like

Ker. sW

So, seeing Alexander punish her actually felt quite satisfying. As long as he didn't cross any lines in front of me, |

didn't mind.

But Isabelle was different. She was Matthew's girlfriend and, in a way, one of my people. How could | just watch

her suffer?

Even if Alexander wasn't planning anything serious with her now, | had to save her. Otherwise, Matthew would

definitely blme for not standing by his

woman.
