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.

I took a deep breath and said, "Is this Alexander? I'm William. How you choose to take revenge on Charlotte is your business, but Isabelle has nothing to do with this. Let her go immediately.
