Chapter 117
The soft strips wouldn''t tear the skin or leave any marks on it, but it would hurt a lot. It was not the first
time they had done this thing. They knew how to torture people without leaving any obvious wounds.
They hit Louis over and over again. There was no sound except for Louis''s painful groan. His body
trembled.
Xavier did not stop until Louis fainted. He nced disdainfully at Louis and ordered coldly, "Wake him
up and continue."
Hearing Xavier''s order, the bodyguards immediately went outside, filled an abandoned iron bucket with
water and brought it back.
They sshed the water on Louis and woke him up. He shook his head desperately, trying to exin.
He had a lot to say, but he didn''t have the chance.
Xavier didn''t want to hear his words at all. He raised his hand to signal for the bodyguards to continue.
They picked up the tape and continued to hit Louis. Louis red at him and wanted to move because
of the pain. The legs of the chair were ttering, and there was a constant whine in his mouth. He
wanted to speak, but he couldn''t.
This feeling was very painful.
When Louis was about to faint again, Xavier raised his hand to stop the bodyguards. Louis thought
Xavier was going to let him go. His dull eyes sparkled again, but what Xavier saidter made him fall
into hell…
"Use another method that won''t make him faint and continue."
Louis''s eyes darkened. ''Will I die with no reason?''
Jacob knew that Xavier was so angry this time that he would teach Louis a hard lesson. no matter
whether he would die.
However, Louis had contracted ADIS, and he couldn''t live long, so Xavier didn''t need to do this.
Jacob timidly walked over to Xavier and whispered, "It''s so cruel of Harriet to hire such a person. Arya
would have been raped and even killed if we hadn''t arrived in time."
Jacob didn''t dare to directly ask Xavier to let Louis go, but beat around the bush and let his anger be
vented on someone else.
Xavier''s eyes darkened fiercely. He deliberately vented his anger on Louis just to ignore what Harriet
had done.
He knew what Jacob meant. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked a little tired. Finally, he said to Jacob,
"Don''t let him appear in front of me in the future."
Jacob nodded.
Xavier threw away the cigarette butt which was still firing, his horrible face revealed.
After leaving the iron factory, Xavier didn''t go back to the hotel.
At this moment, he didn''t want to face Arya, because he didn''t know what expression he would wear
when seeing her.
He looked at his watch. It was already four o''clock. He started the car and went back to his parents''
house. After washing up, he changed his clothes and went to thepany.
Aryay on the sofa and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was almost ten o''clock. She thought Xavier

Thinking of what had happenedst night, she wanted to call Xavier but stopped instantly.
Xavier was bad-tempered. If she asked about Louis, Louis would be in a worse situation.
She could only figure out other ways. She got up, left the room, and took a taxi home. Ryan and Nanny
Joy were not at home. Nanny Joy should have taken Ryan out. She went into the bathroom to take a

hot bath, changed her clothes, and went out again.
Instead of going straight to Xavier, she called Jacob.
Jacob was Xavier''s trusted man. He must know something about Louis.
Jacob was surprised to receive a call from Arya. He was reporting about Louis''s punishment in Xavier''s
office. He looked up at Xavier, but did not say anything. Since Arya was calling him, it meant that she
might not want Xavier to know it.
He also wanted to know why Arya called him first.
So he didn''t tell Xavier that it was Arya''s call.
Arya asked him to have lunch with him, and he agreed without any hesitation.
Jacob hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he was afraid that Xavier would hear their
conversation.
Xavier looked up and saw Jacob look furtive as if he had stolen something. He asked with a smile, "Did
you do something wrong to me?"
Jacob quickly shook his head and denied it.
Xavier put the signed documents on the table and said calmly, "Don''t let me find it even if you did."
Jacob took the document and wiped his cold sweat. "I don''t have the guts."
Xavier waved his hand to expel Jacob. He was not in a good mood today.
Jacob lowered his head and left the office. Standing at the door, he heaved a deep sigh of relief.
At noon, Jacob went to the appointed ce. By the time he arrived, Arya had sat there. He walked over
and sat down opposite her.
His eyes fell on Arya and lingered on her face for a few seconds. Although she covered her face with
her hair, he could still see red marks on her face.
But he looked away, instead of asking her about it.
"What''s the matter?" Jacob asked.
Arya looked at Jacob and remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Do you know about Louis?
How is he now?"
The expression on Jacob''s face suddenly became a little stiff. He did not expect her to meet him just
because of Louis. He thought Arya must care more about his boss and wanted to know about Xavier
from him.
But she didn''t. He was very disappointed.
Xavier spent so much time with her, but she just treated him like this?
Jacob directly stood up and left the restaurant.
Arya was stunned. She didn''t expect Jacob to react like this.
''Is it difficult for him to answer this question?''
Arya pursed her lips. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Jacobing back with a file bag in his
hand.
Jacob took out the document he had found about Louis. He could let her know the truth.
Handing the document to Arya, he looked at her and said, "I found these. Take a look."
