Tristan reached out to grab Joycelyn's arm.
In the dim light, he gazed at her fair skin and graceful figure. He stretched his hand, intending to touch her.
Just as he leaned in, reaching out, Joycelyn's eyes shot open. Her clear, icy gaze sent a cold chill through the air.
Tristan froze, taken aback by the intense energy in her eyes.
Without warning, Joycelyn quickly raised her leg and delivered a powerful kick to his most vulnerable spot, landing a decisive blow.
"Ah!" Tristan howled in pain.
Joycelyn immediately struggled to sit up, determined to escape the trunk and save herself.
This was an old neighborhood with inadequate surveillance, and if anything happened, there would be no concrete evidence.
Tristan's scream would likely have attracted attention. If she could get out and ask for help from passersby, she would be safe.
Before her foot even touched the ground, Cedric appeared, wielding an electric baton. He pressed it to her neck and cranked it up to the maximum voltage.
The shock hit her with such force that Joycelyn was caught off guard and instantly passed out from the electrocution. With a thud, she collapsed back into the trunk, her body limp and powerless, trembling uncontrollably with rage.
Cedric grinned maliciously, staring at Joycelyn, who lay helpless and unable to move. "You're not getting away this time. I've had my eye on you for a long time. After I'm done with you tonight, I'll marry you tomorrow. Don't think I care that you've been married before."
Joycelyn glared at Cedric with a fiery intensity.
But Cedric, being the scoundrel he was, couldn't care less about her fury. He had long been coveting her beauty, and this time, nothing would stop him from having her.
As they passed by, a kind-hearted old man, hearing what sounded like screams, approached with a flashlight to ask if As they passed by, a kind-hearted old man, hearing what sou everything was alright. Cedric kicked his brother Tristan, signaling him to stay quiet, and immediately stepped forward to explain to the old man that he had just kicked a stone by accident, and everything was fine.
Once the sound of footsteps faded away, and the old man was gone, Joycelyn's heart sank deeper into despair.
Cedric kicked Tristan awake, and together they carried Joycelyn back. On the way, they ran into some neighbors, and the two quickly explained that Joycelyn was just drunk and they were taking her home. Joycelyn felt like she was being electrocuted, her body limp and weak. A piece of clear tape was stuck over her mouth, rendering her voiceless.
And so, with no resistance, she was carried back to the Mercer family home by Tristan and Cedric. 78%

"Cedric, she kicked me. Ouch, it hurts. You go first," Tristan said, standing at the bedside, looking exhausted.
"Then go record it," Cedric tossed Tristan a phone, eager to undress and get on with things, almost frantic in his urgency.
It was as if time was against him.
The pain was excruciating as Joycelyn bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, the sharp sensation jolting her into partial
consciousness.

Cedric stood over her, eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction, looking at Joycelyn like she was a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered. His grin was mocking.
"Joycelyn, I've had my eye on you for a long time. I was going to wait until you graduated and then make you marry me, but your father wouldn't allow it. All he cares about is turning you into a money machine. But it's fine, you'll be mine sooner or later."
Joycelyn let out a muffled sob, struggling to speak.
Cedric casually reached out and slapped her face, leering, "Hold on, don't speak out. If you do, I'll make sure you can't scream."
Joycelyn turned her head to avoid his filthy hand, her breath coming in heavy gasps, every part of her body rejecting him.
Cedric wasn't angry, instead, he turned to Tristan and urged, "Hurry up, finish up so we can get paid." Tristan's eyes were glued to Joycelyn as he fumbled with the equipment, unable to get the stand right. Frustrated, Cedric stepped over to assist, setting up the phone and starting the recording.
As he turned back toward her, Joycelyn's body twisted and thrashed, trying to retreat, but the bed was too small.
No matter how far she crawled into the corner, Cedric easily caught her by the ankle and dragged her back.
At that moment, Joycelyn's heart shattered completely.
She struggled desperately, tears pouring from her eyes like a broken dam.
Even if it meant death, she refused to endure this humiliation.
Like a madwoman, she sobbed and kicked, never ceasing to fight, even as electric shocks jolted through her body.
Her pain and helplessness were apparent in every frantic movement in the cramped room.
Cedric and Tristan worked together for five minutes to subdue her, binding her limbs to the bed.
Staring at the yellowed ceiling, Joycelyn's vision was already blurred by tears.
Regret, anger, and despair consumed her.
Her hatred and fear reached a peak.
"This time, you're not getting away, Joycelyn," Cedric sneered, tearing at her clothes.
Just as he let out a perverse laugh and prepared to strike, the heavy iron door was kicked open from the outside.
A flood of suited men rushed in, and behind them was Ellison.

The sound of the door slamming against the wall sent a sharp shiver through Joycelyn's spine. She thought she saw a glimmer of hope.
And sure enough, among the crowd, she saw the one face she knew best.
Joycelyn cried harder, her muffled sobs and wails wrenching Ellison's heart as if he were being torn apart.

Ellison looked at her, bound and spread-eagled on the bed, his expression cold and lethal as if he had just walked out of hell.
He strode forward, snatching the knife from one of his bodyguards and slicing through the ropes binding her. Then, he scooped Joycelyn into his arms.
Ellison said, "It's Okay. You're safe now."
Ellison, usually calm and unflappable, felt his heart bleed at this moment.
Joycelyn, lost in her desperation, clung to him tightly as she sobbed like a child.
"You came... You finally came," she whispered, burying her face in his chest, trembling uncontrollably.
She had been on the brink of enduring the most horrifying and hopeless experience of her life, prepared to die, but luckily, he had arrived in time.
Ellison said, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Ellison's gaze swept over Cedric and Tristan, his voice as cold as ice. "You both deserve to die." "Stay out of this, don't think your numbers can intimidate me. You're just a bunch of insurance salesmen. Do you even know who we're working for? If you mess with us, I'll take your lives."
Cedric and Tristan were quickly subdued by the bodyguards as soon as they entered, pinned to the floor. The bodyguards, impeccably dressed and silent, had the aura of professionals. Cedric and Tristan thought they were just colleagues of Ellison's, perhaps another group of insurance salesmen. Still, Cedric remained arrogant.
For that 100 thousand dollars, he was willing to risk it all.
William removed the phone and replayed the recording.
The footage showed Joycelyn's desperate struggles as she was beaten and tormented by Cedric and Tristan.
Each frame ignited a furious rage in Ellison. He wished he could tear Cedric and Tristan apart right then and there.
"How dare you lay a hand on my woman. I'll make you wish you were never born," Ellison's eyes burned with contempt as he glared down at Cedric, his voice dripping with venom.
Cedric, unnerved by Ellison's chilling presence, tried to defend himself. "Joycelyn and I were already together. If you hadn't interfered, I would've married her."
"Break every tooth in his mouth." Ellison's voice was low, his chilling command sending a shiver through the room.
