Chapter 73 After parking her car in the underground garage , Joycelyn sent Ellison a message to let him know the gathering was over and she was heading home ..
It was a way to keep him updated and ensure she was safe .
To her surprise , he called her right after .
Are you heading home already ? Ellison had just arrived at the private room .
Yeah , Joycelyn replied .
By the way , I wanted to ask when are you coming back ? Or are you staying out tonight ? As she buckled her seatbelt , she glanced up and saw a familiar white Rolls Royce .
It was Rubys car , the one she had seen before at the Rolex store .
Maybe later , Ellison responded , and just as he did , William opened the door to the restaurants private room .
Carmelo had planned an early birthday celebration to invite a traditional medicine professor who had just returned from abroad .
Although young , he was highly skilled and could potentially help with Isoldes treatment if things went well .
Joycelyn didnt press for more details , feeling it wasnt her place to intrude into Ellisons personal life .
The noise on Ellisons end grew louder , and she casually replied , Alright , Ill drive carefully .
Yeah , take care , he said solemnly before preparing to hang up .
Just then , Cecilia rushed in , panicked .
Carmelo , Ellison , Ruby is missing ! Joycelyn overheard that and frowned .
Seeing the words Call Ended on the screen , Joycelyn helplessly pressed her lips together .
She started her car and pulled out of the garage , heading home .
She assumed Ellison was concerned about Ruby , which was why he hung up so abruptly .
But in reality , it was just coincidental timing when Cecilia burst in with the news .
She just left , how could she be missing ? Carmelo sounded more agitated than anyone .
Ellison furrowed his brow , pocketing his phone , and said , William , go help look .
Ill wait for Leah .
About twenty minutes later , Ruby was found in the service stairwell , unconscious with severe facial injuries .

By the time Joycelyn arrived home and parked , Lucy called her .
Joycelyn , did you get home okay ? Everything alright ? Lucys voice was filled with concern .
1/3 12:26 Thu , 13 Feb Chapter 73 Im home , no problems , Joycelyn replied as she locked her car and took the elevator upstairs .
79 % Oh , good .
I just overheard Caroline and Tenley gloating in the bathroom , saying theyd make your face look like a mess .
I was worried you were in trouble .
You didnt pick up when I called earlier , it freaked me out ! I was driving , couldnt answer the phone , Joycelyn explained .
Ah , the police are here .
Lucy added , noticing a group of officers entering .
She immediately stepped aside .
The police ? What happened ? Joycelyn asked , surprised that a dinner gathering would involve law enforcement .
+23 ) Holy crap , theyre here to arrest Caroline ! Its like catching a little chick .
Lucy sounded shocked , quickly updating Joycelyn on the situation .
Joycelyn was confused , feeling like she had come home too early and missed the big news .
She switched her phone to speaker and listened closely .
Amidst the noise , a voice rang out with authority .
Caroline , youre under suspicion of hiring someone to harm Miss Wilson , injecting her with substandard skin care injections that caused severe facial disfigurement .
Your accomplice has been arrested .
Come with us .
Joycelyn was stunned by the words .
She thought about the white Rolls Royce in the underground garage .
Joycelyn thought , Could it be Ruby ? How dare Caroline do something like this to Ruby ? Lucy , whats going on ? Joycelyn asked , her curiosity piqued .
Im calling you on video , Lucy quickly hung up and dialed again .
In the video , Caroline was in shock as she faced the police , her face pale .
What Miss Wilson ? I dont know her , you must have the wrong person .
Her eyes darted nervously , clearly guilty .
Your accomplice has already confessed , dont try to deny it , one of the officers said sternly .
Caroline , now visibly trembling , said , I dont know Miss Wilson .
Its them , they must have mistaken the person .
I told them to target that bitch Joycelyn , not Miss Wilson .
Joycelyn froze as she listened , her back suddenly cold , feeling a chill all over .
This was getting stranger by the minute .
She thought back to Rubys outfit earlier today her black and white Chanel style business attire .
Joycelyn glanced at her own outfit .
Although the cuts were different , it was also black and white , and similar in style .
Hers was just a longer skirt .
Oh my god , this bitch really tried to set you up .
Looks like her people made a mistake , Lucy gasped .
Shes finished , Joycelyn said coldly , a sinister smile forming on her lips .
Caroline had sealed her own fate .
Trying to destroy Ruby , now she was going down .
Lucy , still recording , continued to follow the scene , and at that moment , Joycelyn caught a glimpse of a familiar figure .
The elegant and distinguished aura could only belong to Ellison .
9/2 12:26 Thu , 13 Feb 9 Chapter 73 Joycelyns gaze froze , watching him intently .
He was surrounded by men … Earlier , she thought he had gone to the dinner because of Ruby , but now Ruby was in trouble .
She wasnt sure if Ellison would come back .
After chatting with Lucy for a while , Joycelyn ended the call , feeling oddly empty .
79 % 23 ) It wasnt because Ellison hadnt returned home yet .
It was more a feeling of being watched , a sense of vulnerability and fear .
And then , suddenly , she missed him .
She was shocked by the thought .
