Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 268

"Mr. Arnoult, you really have to take this call," Rene insisted.

"Damn it!" Jed cursed loudly. "Fine. I'll take it now. But you can forget your monthly salary if it's some trivial matter."

He looked into the camera and said, "Alexander, don't rush. Let me take this call first, and then we'll continue." He then hung up the video call.

Alexander frowned, clearly displeased at being interrupted. Nevertheless, he still listened to Jed to some extent. When Jed told him not to act rashly, he did nothing. He even turned around and walked over to a table, casually sipping a drink.

Charlotte lowered her head, looking at her disheveled state, feeling utterly helpless. "Mr. Alexander..."

"If you don't want me to finish you off right now, you had better shut up!" Alexander glared at her fiercely.

After that, she immediately went silent.

Alexander's phone rang again a moment later. It was Jed calling back. "So soon?" Alexander was excited. He turned back to face Charlotte.

"Hey, Dad. The previous call doesn't count. Let's start over. I'll take off Charlotte's pants first—"

But before he could finish speaking or make a move, Jed shouted angrily, "Don't do anything stupid! From now on, don't lay a finger on Charlotte!"

Alexander was completely stunned. Who could possibly have such great influence that they were above Gordon? Who could make the Arnoult family go bankrupt overnight? Why would such a powerful figure step in to help Charlotte? Her family had nothing to offer!

I sighed in relief upon hearing the conversation between them. It was clear that Victor had found Jed and personally warned him about this. It seemed that I had caused trouble for him again.

"Dad, who is this powerful person you're talking about?"

Jed looked extremely troubled, gritting his teeth as he replied, "I can't tell you. I really can't. Just release the slut for now! Otherwise, we'll lose everything!"
