At this moment, Charlotte probably started regretting her actions.
None of this would have happened if she had just backed off after I helped her handle Alexander the first time.
But back then, when she saw Alexander again at the bar, she insisted on publicly humiliating him and pushing his buttons, which led to the mess they were in.
Now, upon hearing Charlotte's and Isabelle's threats, Alexander didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, he burst out laughing.
"Are you guys idiots? If I were afraid of that, do you think I would've abducted you? It's precisely because I'm not afraid that you're all here!"
He grinned viciously at Charlotte.
"I've already done my research. Your little rundown restaurant has always been a headache with no real backing. Gordon has never backed your family!"
He paused, then continued with a sneer. "I also learned that he stopped contacting you after that incident. So, you found someone to connect with, and that person went to Gordon to save your worthless lives!
"But you couldn't maintain that connection, so now they don't care about you anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken you."
I couldn't help but look at Alexander with surprise. It seemed that he wasn't as useless as the rumors suggested. At least he had a sharp understanding of Gordon's situation. He basically guessed it all correctly.
When I first reached out to Gordon, I wanted him to help look after Charlotte and her father.
Who would have known that when she met me the next day, she would keep mocking and ridiculing me non-stop? If I still rushed to help her after the way she had treated me, wouldn't that make me an absolute doormat? So, I told Gordon not to get involved with the Hayes family anymore.
