Not only that, but her facial features were also very much like Renee�s. She was practically Renee�s doppelganger.

It wasn�t hard to understand why Xavier would mistake her for Renee.

The woman quickly tore off the tape over her mouth and looked at Xavier with tears in her eyes.

�Thank you for rescuing me, good sir. If it weren�t for you, I�d have fallen into the hands of some other men. I�d be dead for sure. You saved my life� From now on, I belong to you.�

�What the heck?� Xavier couldn�t hide his astonishment.

Xavier gulped. He couldn�t process what the woman just said.

�I sold myself to the casino, and the casino could do anything it wanted to me. I had already lost the will to live because my fate would be equally torturous no matter which man I ended up with. Thank goodness, God took pity on me and left me in your hands��

The woman was overly emotional and couldn�t help but lean closer to Xavier.

�Wait a second. Don�t come near me!�

Xavier, a towering man of over six feet, backed away as if he�d just seen a terrifying beast. He intentionally kept his distance from the woman.

The woman seemed visibly hurt by his response, and she stopped moving.

�Mister, are you disgusted by me? Are you afraid I might keep bugging you?�

�No, that�s not it!� Xavier waved his hands. �That�s not what I meant. I just think that you�re a person, not an object. You shouldn�t allow others to control your life.�

�I get what you mean, but I�ve already signed a contract with the casino. If you don�t want me, I �ll fall into their hands once again. I don�t want to be tied up on a casino table like an object again while those evil men fight over me.�

�Does such a contract exist?� Xavier frowned and glared at Hank.

Hank seemed terrified. He immediately urged his subordinate to hand over the contract.

�H-Here it is� The casino bought her for 150 thousand dollars. She belongs to you now!�

The man retrieved a contract that had the woman�s signature and fingerprint from his bag with trembling hands.

Xavier accepted it and read the name out softly.
