Also, given that similar events have happened in real life, it makes the apathetic response to the abuse from the Arnault son, who too is only caring about his dick at this stage, even more infuriating. Child abuse concerning the care system was a well known secret, and has led to some high profile allegations and prosecutions relatively recently, so I wonder, given the UK/ European setting if the author was unfortunately inspired by these recent cases.
It's hard to have sympathy for the son, at the end of the day he is contributing to the cycle of abuse experienced by the staff at the salon, and the political corruption by being it's patron. He also was made aware of two instances of abuse, Heath being battered by a client, and Arwin being forced to work as a child, yet all he can think about is the next time he will get to sleep with Arwin.
It also makes the dad look worse, if that was even possible.
Wow that new info that made everything so much worse. Giving off those Canis vibes now.
