Julien’s eyes were red and slightly teary as he stared at Jonah inplete astonishment.


    He found himself bewildered by Jonah’s twisted mindset.


    If he didn’t possess such striking looks, Julien might genuinely belleve him to be a monster!


    “Are you in cahoots with the one who kidnapped me? Are you the kidnapper?” Julien questioned with a


    trembling voice.


    Jonah squinted, extending a gentlemanly hand toward him. ‘Let me introduce myself. I am Jonah


    Taylor, the CEO of KS Group. It’s a pleasure to meet you.


    “KS…?” Julien was startled, “My aunt. It’s you! Are you…


    “Exactly as you think.”


    Jonah’s fingers tightened, and he awkwardly smiled, “We’ll shake hands after Axel unties you.”


    “Jonah!”


    Axel returned in long strides, muttering. “The toilet is too far. I almost peed halfway. What’s the point of


    having such a big house?”


    Jonah frowned, feeling somewhat amused.


    No matter howrge the Taylor family’s house was, it was still a cage for Axel. Just like Alyssa, he


    detested restrictions and craved freedom.


    Thinking of Alyssa, Jonah couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Her three years of marriage with Jasper


    were undoubtedly a prison sentence for her.


    “You!” Julien eximed upon seeing Axel, twisting his expression in frustration. Luckily, his good looks


    spared him from looking outright scary


    Axel arched an eyebrow, casually leaning on the car door frame with a smirk.


    “I’ve said it before, you twerp-there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You can’t just touch my hands and


    sit on myp without giving something in retum.”


    Jonah’s eyes flickered. He felt too much information was in that statement, and he needed a moment to


    digest it.


    Julien spat at Axel angrily. “How shameless can you be? Selling your looks. You’re despicable!*


    Axel made a disgusted expression, “Do you think I enjoy this? I’m a straight guy! I’ve sacrificed a lot for

    you, and all you’ve given me is trauma. You’re terrifying.”


    “You!”


    Julien was so angry that his handsome face turned red as he roared, “You’re the one who should be


    called a twerp!”


    Axel raised his eyebrows, confused. “Huh?”


    *All show and no substance!” Julien said, ncing provocatively at Axel’s crotch.


    “You’re just a fucking bastard who is asking for a beating!”


    Axel was about to rush forward and give Julien a flying kick, but Jonah held him back.


    “Axel, Mr. Lovce is Mandy’s rtive and a guest invited by Lyse. Don’t mess around.”


    “Damn it! If it weren’t for Lyse, I’d definitely make him impotent!” Axel gritted his teeth.


    Jonah smiled wryly. He finally understood why Axel had taped this man’s mouth shut all the

    Jonah had never seen a man with such fair skin. As the ropes grazed his skin, they imprinted vivid red


    lines on his nearly transparentplexion, oddly triggering an unexinable sense of protectiveness


    in


    Jonah.


    “Ugh! That hurts.” Julien rubbed his wrists and furrowed his brow.


    Axel snorted in disdain. “Tsk. You’re just whining like a woman. Disgusting.”


    Jonah looked at Julien’s swollen ankles and asked, “Can you still stand?”


    Julien pursed his lips and slowly stood up. Then, he let out a cry.


    His legs had been bound for several hours, and they had long gone numb.


    There was no way he could stand.
