Chapter 589 Are All Nixons Such Scumbags

When Alex's cool gaze slid toward Stuart in his wheelchair, he sneered at Stuart's crazed display.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have called you here..." Heather sobbed as she burst into tears.

"Why did you come here?" Alex asked.

"I..." Heather struggled to give Alex a proper explanation as she was torn between her husband and Mom.

If I tell him Mom lured me here, Alex will detest her. But, if I say that I came here on my own accord, Alex might misunderstand the entire situation. What if he thinks I tried to cheat on him?

While Heather was in the midst of her turmoil, Carmen crawled her way to Alex and clutched his leg desperately. "Alex, have you come to save me? Thank God you are here now. If you had come any later, we would be doomed," she wailed.

Carmen pointed at Stuart and Elvis. "Alex, they are monsters! They want to keep us here for their pleasure. Please, you have to rescue us."

Alex tilted his head down to look at her. "Why are you here too?" he questioned. Despite Carmen's distressed pleas, he looked unperturbed.

Carmen stiffened when she heard Alex's question. Hurriedly, she blurted, "Stuart lied to n He claimed that he didn't drug Heather on purpose. He told me that he wanted to apolog to Heather and asked me to bring her here. I-"

Alex's cold laugh cut her off. "How much money did he give you in order to lure Heather here?"

Carmen flinched in shock. I can't believe Alex knew that Stuart had given me money.

Yet, Carmen refused to admit her wrongdoings. "He didn't give me any money." She shook her head profusely. "I-I saw that both of his legs were crippled and assumed that he was being genuine. Hence, I trusted him. Despite it all, he betrayed us..."

Alex frowned; he knew better than to trust Carmen's lies.

After all, Alex was more than aware of Carmen's money-hungry demeanor.

She must have betrayed her daughter after receiving Stuart's money. It looks like Heather came here because Carmen tricked her.

WithLinnen mind, Alex found himself more at ease.

Alex would have had a difficult time accepting Heather's betrayal if she had visited Stuart by her own will.

"Enough nonsense. Shut up right now!" Stuart snarled.

Startled, Carmen released her grip on Alex's leg and kept her mouth shut.

"Alex, don't you like showing off your strength? Where is it now? You aren't so arrogant now, are you?" Stuart sneered as he pointed the gun at Alex. "You are just a pathetic live-in son-in-law, but you had the audacity to break my legs. Today, I'll crush all four of your limbs. Furthermore, I'll show you what it's like to have your wife taken away from you."

"You want to crush my limbs?" Alex disregarded the gun in Stuart's hands as he laughed. mockingly. "How are you going to do that when you are just a piece of trash?"

"Alex, I must admit, your foolish bravery is admirable. Even in a situation like this, you are still running your mouth," Stuart replied with a mirthless smile.

Alex laughed wryly. "Why can't I run my mouth? Unlike you, a useless cripple, I am capable of achieving great things."

"Alex, you must be mistaken. Stop putting yourself on the pedestal. You are nothing but ant insignificant worm. Right now, I could crush you with a stomp of my foot."

Alex's cold gaze swept toward him. "All right, why don't you let them go? We can settle the score between us."

"Are you insane? Why would I let them free? Not only am I going to kill you today, b also going to torture them to my heart's content," Stuart said as a menacing look loon across his face.

"Stuart, any grievances between us men should be settled within ourselves. What are you trying to prove by kidnapping women? Are all Nixons such scumbags? The both of do anything without relying on someone else," Alex replied tauntingly.
