Chapter 271
It suddenly clicked for me. Alexander had confiscated Isabelle's phone to prevent her from seeking help. This
move had one clear purpose-to deal with Charlotte.
As Charlotte's close friend, Isabelle couldn't stand by. Naturally, she changed her mind and refused to leave.
Alexander dared not offend Isabelle, so he could only stand there, helpless and anxious. She refused to leave, no
matter how much he tried to persuade her.
Soon, Jed called again, urging him to release Isabelle, or else they would face consequences from those who
were more powerful than them.
With no other choice, Alexander reluctantly accepted his fate. He left the mess at the factory to his bodyguards
and drove away.
Staying behind wouldn't help him handle Charlotte, and once she was freed, she might cafter him again.
Thus, running away was his only option.
As | watched him depart, | couldn't help but laugh and turned to Quintus. "Take them both back to the school."

"Don't worry. I'm also heading back to school. Nothing will happen." "Alright then."
Since | insisted, he didn't argue.
After a while, a large group of bodyguards streamed out. They got into a van and quickly left the factory. After all,
this was an abduction, which was illegal.
If the two women decided to press charges, no one would be able to escape. It was better to leave quickly and
not leave a lasting impression on them, hoping to protect themselves.
Soon, the abandoned factory was left with just me, Quintus, Charlotte, and Isabelle. Quintus and | hid in the
shadows while Isabelle stood downstairs, waiting for Charlotte.
"Alexander, get out here!" Charlotte's voice soon rang out from the door. She marched out, looking around for
Alexander, but found no one. When she saw Isabelle, she walked over to her.
"Isabelle, where's Alexander?"
"He's already gone."
"Damn it! He sure runs fast. If | catch him, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
Isabelle sighed. "Charlotte, you really shouldn't provoke Alexander. He's ruthless and always gets back at et
those who wrong him. The last tyou hit him, he abducted you. If you provoke him again, who knows what
he'll do next."
But Charlotte only wore a cold expression. Her eyes were filled with murderous.intent. If | hadn't just witnessed
her fear and pleading, would have mistaken her for someone as ruthless as she

appeared.
In reality, she was just using her beauty to put on a tough act, pretending to be strong while actually being weak.
"I don't think he dares to do it! Besides, I'm sure he won't dare cafter us again with you around. Next time,
we'll deal with him once and for all."

Isabelle smiled wryly. "I'm not that capable."
"You are! Didn't your backer just scare him so badly that he ran off?"
"I don't have any backers. They must have made a mistake."
"How could they make a mistake? Isabelle, stop hiding it from me. Did you secretly find another rich boyfriend
behind Matthew's back? Con. Spill it.
"You should have broken up with
him already. That guy only makes a little over two thousand a month. He can't even buy you clothes. What's the
point of being with him?"
My fist tightened into a ball when | heard this.
Damn it! Not only did Charlotte look down on me, but now she was bad-mouthing
Matthew and trying to break them up.
That was just shameless.
