Riches in Disguise

Chapter 263

I wasn't fully aware of Charlotte's past with others, but her history with Alexander was something I knew all too well, as I had been directly involved.

Recalling what Isabelle had mentioned earlier about how someone had been making threatening phone calls to Charlotte recently, I suddenly understood.

The person making those threatening calls was most likely Alexander. He must have been unable to swallow his pride, wanting revenge.

I had sworn not to get involved in these matters again, but I never imagined he would drag Isabelle into this. If anything were to happen to her, how could I explain it to Matthew?

Without hesitation, I found Alexander's number and dialed it myself.

The phone rang four or five times and was connected when I was about to give up. "Hello?"

A low, cold voice came through, full of anger and menace.
