I stood on the staircase not far away, exchanging a nce with Quintus.


    It seemed that Alexander was determined to toy with Charlotte.


    Although I had already decided never to help her again, I couldn''t just stand by and watch her be toyed with by a scoundrel without doing anything. I couldn''t bring myself to do that.


    So, I quietly asked Quintus, "If you go in right now, how likely are you to rescue Charlotte and Isabelle unharmed?"


    Quintus replied, "50%."


    "That low?"


    He nodded seriously, saying, "There are six of them inside. It will take at least half


    a minute to deal with them. During that time, if even one of them thinks of using Charlotte or Isabelle as leverage, the rescue will fail."


    I understood immediately.


    Indeed. With so many of them, Quintus could only do so much alone.


    The most crucial point was that if they held Charlotte and Isabelle as hostages, we would be forced toply. In that case, we would essentially be walking into a trap.


    It looked like I would have to bother Victor after all. I took out my phone and called him. He agreed without hesitation.


    Alexander had already started unbuttoning Charlotte''s shirt when I was on the phone.


    She was trembling in fear, tears streaming down her face. She couldn''t help but plead. However, the more she begged, the more excited he became. Ultimately, he couldn''t be bothered to undo each button slowly and ripped the shirt open with force.


    The buttons flew off, scattering on the floor. The fabric was torn, revealing her fair skin.


    Alexander ogled at her hungrily, gulping hard repeatedly.


    "You''re so beautiful! I always knew you were pretty, but I didn''t realize that your body was this perfect. You''re just made to be yed with by men."


    "Alexander! Let me see if this slut''s body is that incredible!"


    Jed''s voice sounded from the phone. Alexander immediately turned his phone''s camera toward Charlotte.


    When Jed saw her, he hollered


    loudly. "Perfect! This body is even


    sexier than any stripper I''ve ever


    seen Alexander, you really have


    great taste. Out of all these beauties,


    you picked the best!"


    Alexanderughed heartily. "Dad,paring her to a stripper is a bit much. At least she''s still a virgin."


    As he said that, he raised his hand and began to undo Charlotte''s pants.


    She almost passed out from fear. She could do nothing but watch


    helplessly as he undid her belt


    unable to move since her hands were tied behind the chair


    "Mr. Alexander, please, don''t... Please... don''t..."


    "The more you beg, the more excited I get!" Heughed.


    "That''s right! Even I''m getting a little excited hearing her beg!" Jed joined in.


    Just as Alexander was about to unbuckle Charlotte''s belt, someone suddenly knocked on the door to Jed''s office.


    "Mr. Arnoult, it''s Rene. There''s an important phone call for you."


    Jed roared angrily, "Didn''t I tell you beforehand that I have important matters today? No one is to disturb me!"


    Rene replied nervously, "But Mr. Arnoult, this phone call is one you have to take. You''ll understand when you pick it up, but I can''t say more now."


    "What phone call could be so important? Is it God who''s calling? Don''t tell me that Gordon is calling to plead again. Even if he calls or show up in person, I won''t show him any respect! He''s been ruining my ns repeatedly. I won''t acknowledge him as the president of the Business Association!"


    After venting his anger, he saw Rene still standing at the office door.
