Riches in Disguise novel 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 come after him again. Thus, running away was his only option.

As I watched him depart, I couldn't help but laugh and turned to Quintus. "Take them both back to the school."

Quintus shook his head. "I can't, Mr. White. I need to stay by your side."

"Don't worry. I'm also heading back to school. Nothing will happen."

"Alright then."

Since I 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 I 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.
