After Jonathan entered the room, he directly threw him onto the carpet. He didn't continue the beating because he knew Cynthia had already gone all out. If he continued, Alex might really end up dead here today.

Jonathan sat on the sofa, his presence as cold as an iceberg. "Alex, who sent you?"

Alex lay on the ground, almost unable to move. He felt as if every bone in his body was fractured, and breathing was unbearably painful. He stayed silent.

Jonathan's voice was still deep and cold. "If you don't speak, I'll bury you on this island tonight."

Finally, Alex spoke, "No one sent me. I like Nina, and I can't control it."

"Was it my sister? Did she give you this task?" Jonathan asked, but his tone was absolutely certain. Honestly, he felt heartbroken at that moment. It was as if a dagger had been plunged into his heart.

He had suspected before that Alex's attentiveness to Nina had an ulterior motive, or perhaps it was related to Whitney. However, he believed Whitney's act of sending Alex was similar to Cynthia's influence-just another pawn to create strife between him and Nina. After all, from Whitney's perspective, Nina was the woman Jonathan was truly interested in. However, he didn't expect Whitney to be ruthless enough to attempt to take away Nina's purity.

On hearing Jonathan's words, Alex's body seemed to flinch slightly. He struggled to lift his head. "This has nothing to do with our chairman Ms. Bennett. Everything was my own choice. If you want revenge, then let it be on me alone." Jonathan's voice was cold and detached as if layered with ice. "I have three sisters, but I haven't said which one yet, have I?"

Among his three sisters, only Whitney was a chairman. This was because she currently owned twenty percent of the Bennett Group's shares. Not only did she serve as the chairwoman for several public companies, but she also founded Betrico Multimedia, another listed company.

Betrico Multimedia wasn't just a celebrity-making machine in the entertainment industry; it was also a creator and leader of public opinion. However, for her, Betrico Multimedia was just a small piece in her hand.

Jonathan's other two sisters each held ten percent shares, while Jonathan himself held fifteen percent. However, in recent years, he had also established his own company, the BJ Group. The public assumed BJ was part of the Bennett Group, but in reality, it was independent of it.

Even Paradise Resort belonged to BJ, not the Bennett Group. Of course, BJ wasn't his ace up his sleeve yet, but he needed it to prove his own ability.

Because Clifford held an additional ten percent of the shares. The final fate of this ten percent would go to the chosen Bennett Group heir.

Outsiders thought Jonathan was the sole Bennett heir, but actually, Whitney had a better chance than he did. After all, when it came to business acumen, she wasn't lacking compared to him at all.

Alex watched as Jonathan's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect to give himself away without a struggle. Jonathan was too crafty.

But deep down, Alex knew that no matter what he said, Jonathan wouldn't believe him. Once Jonathan had made up mind, it was as good as done.

Alex simply shut his mouth and his eyes, refusing to speak another word. No matter how many questions Jonathan asked, Alex clamped his teeth and stayed silent.

Cynthia had been watching from outside for quite a while. She walked right in. "Need a hand? I have a method for dealing with stubborn folks."

When Alex heard this, his body trembled on the floor. But Jonathan just said, "No need, I already know."

Cynthia looked at Alex, who was lying on the floor in a terrible state. "What are we going to do with him now?" she asked.

Jonathan calmly responded, "I'll handle it. He's still useful to us.

Cynthia didn't doubt Jonathan's skills for a second. She knew he wasn't soft-hearted. She glanced at Alex, "Come out with me, I need to talk to you."

Jonathan followed Cynthia to where Nina was. Cynthia had already helped Nina change into a new set of clothes.

Cynthia said, "I've got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Jonathan frowned slightly. "The bad news."

"The bad news is, Alex was pretty harsh. Nina's got quite a few bruises."

Jonathan frowned even more. "And the good news?"

Cynthia smiled and glanced at Nina, "The good news is I came just in time. Alex hadn't gone untouched."

Jonathan's tense expression seemed to relax a little. "Thank goodness."

Cynthia was also very relieved. "Yeah, Nina is such an innocent girl. I can't imagine the trauma that would've been caused if she had really been violated." Cynthia's voice trembled slightly as she finished speaking.

Jonathan understood she was thinking of her own darkest days. He stepped forward and pulled Cynthia into his arms, only then realizing her body had been trembling slightly all along.

This time, Cynthia didn't push Jonathan away. Even though she had made peace with herself long ago and stopped blaming herself, she couldn't help but tremble whenever she thought of that incident.

She had been violated in the past. She couldn't stay indifferent when witnessing the same happen to Nina. Alex could call this his lucky day that he wasn't dead by now.

Jonathan gently rubbed her back, comforting her. "Don't dwell on it-none of this is your fault. If it weren't for you, Nina would have faced the same ordeal today. You've been her umbrella in a stormy life, Cynthia. You're amazing." Jonathan spoke in a tone as if he were coaxing a child. Cynthia caught the distinctive cool scent from him. It brought her peace and helped her completely relax.

After a moment of calm, Cynthia gently pushed Jonathan away.

"Mr. Bennett..." Nina murmured Jonathan's name in her sl
