The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 546

Dylan sneered. "Desperate, were you? Fine. Since you were so desperate, I have a way to solve your problem for good..."

Gordon's eyes lit up. "Mr. Austin, what's your brilliant idea?"

Gordon assumed Dylan was going to pay off his debt for him.

Instead, Dylan glanced at his bodyguards and gave a simple order. "Since he loves gambling so much, chop off both of his hands."

He said it so casually it was as if he were commenting on the weather, but his words made the air around them freeze solid.

When Gordon heard this, his eyes widened in terror. He scrambled on his knees, begging, "No, please, Mr. Austin, don't..."

But Gordon's pleas were useless. The bodyguards grabbed him and dragged him away like a sack of garbage.

His terrified screams were the last thing they heard.

The debt collectors were all handed over to the police.

The casino Gordon frequented was illegal, so this would not only solve the problem of Gordon but could also lead the police to shut down the entire operation.

Rebecca watched Gordon being taken away and let out a sigh of relief.

If Dylan hadn't shown up, she wasn't sure how she would have gotten out of that.

Sensing her gaze, Dylan turned to her. "Are you all right?"

Rebecca shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you."

Dylan suddenly spoke. "A compulsive gambler like him isn't worth your sympathy."

He was worried she might think he was being cruel, so he offered the explanation.

Rebecca felt no pity for Gordon at all. She frowned, a flicker of disgust in her eyes. "I know. He's a lost cause, a parasite on society."

Dylan raised an eyebrow. "That's very thoughtful of you."

Rebecca thought to herself, *Isn't that just basic etiquette?*

The car drove smoothly, and soon they arrived at the Austin family estate.

As Dylan's car pulled in, the staff at the gate bowed respectfully.

Rebecca got out of the car after him.

Noticing how slowly she was walking, Dylan turned to her. "Are you nervous?"

Rebecca immediately shook her head. "Not at all."

Dylan saw through her but didn't say anything.
