The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 357

Xavier gulped. He couldn't process what the woman just said.

"I sold myself to the casino, and the casino could do anything it wanted to me. I had already lost the will to live because my fate would be equally torturous no matter which man I ended up with. Thank goodness, God took pity on me and left me in your hands…" The woman was overly emotional and couldn't help but lean closer to Xavier.

"Wait a second. Don't come near me!"

Xavier, a towering man of over six feet, backed away as if he'd just seen a terrifying beast. He intentionally kept his distance from the woman.

The woman seemed visibly hurt by his response, and she stopped moving. "Mister, are you disgusted by me? Are you afraid I might keep bugging you?"

"No, that's not it!" Xavier waved his hands. "That's not what I meant. I just think that you're a person, not an object. You shouldn't allow others to control your life."

"I get what you mean, but I've already signed a contract with the casino. If you don't want me, I'll fall into their hands once again. I don't want to be tied up on a casino table like an object again while those evil men fight over me."

"Does such a contract exist?" Xavier frowned and glared at Hank.

The man retrieved a contract that had the woman's signature and fingerprint from his bag with trembling hands.

Xavier accepted it and read the name out softly. "Shirley White?"

"Fine. I'll take you with me." Xavier nodded and escorted her out of the filthy casino.

Outside, the sky was blue, and the air was fresh, a world of difference from the foggy dimness of the casino.

Xavier glanced at his watch. It was getting late. After tearing up the contract, he turned to face Shirley. "You're free now. You can go."

Shirley was stunned for a moment. She looked at her torn contract. "I know you don't like me. That's why you don't want me around. However, I don't like owing anyone favors. I'll try my best to repay the 150 thousand dollars… Goodbye!"

Xavier raised his brows. He wanted to clarify something, but he chose not to in the end. "Goodbye!"

The two bid farewell for good.

Shirley had barely taken a few steps when she suddenly collapsed on the ground…
