Chapter 80 Chapter 80 You dare ? Cedric still spoke arrogantly , convinced that these insurance agents wouldnt do anything to him .
But when he saw a man approach with a cold expression , he was stunned .
The man roughly pried his mouth open and yanked his front tooth out with pliers .
The pain was so intense that tears sprang to his eyes .
Another man immediately seized his throat , leaving him completely unable to make a sound .
The speed was so swift that Cedric didnt have a chance to react .
By the time he realized what had happened , his mouth was filled with blood and sharp , stabbing pain .
His eyes widened in fear .
When he saw Ellisons frigid expression , he felt a tremor deep in his bones .
This man was a devil .
I hear that when a man is castrated at the height of his excitement , he wont feel the pain .
You two should give it a try , Ellison said coldly , cradling Joycelyns head against his chest as he protected her and started to leave , tossing these words that would haunt Cedric and Tristan forever .
The moment Joycelyn heard this , she shuddered and instinctively tightened her grip around Ellison .
Just hearing it made it sound like the ultimate punishment .
I want to go home , Joycelyn murmured , clutching at his shirt .
Okay , well go home now , Ellison replied softly , signaling his bodyguards to handle things quickly and decisively .
William confiscated Cedrics phone and moved ahead to open the door .
Joycelyn didnt want to look at Cedric and Tristans disgusting faces .
Her tears seemed endless , staining Ellisons expensive shirt .
Please , no , please , they begged behind them .
Sir , please , let us go , they whimpered .
But Joycelyn wasnt interested in their pleas .
After everything theyd done to her , it was time for them to experience a taste of their own medicine .
She only wanted to escape and never return .
In the elevator , Joycelyn lay still in Ellisons arms .
His scent was the only thing that gave her a sense of security .
Bringing so many people here , wont it expose your identity ? she asked quietly , her voice muffled against him .
Its fine , Ellison replied , his hand resting on her waist , gently patting her back .
Except for the elevator , the powers off everywhere , no one can see anything .
Ellison didnt sit on the other side of the car .
Instead , he crossed his legs , holding Joycelyn in his lap , allowing her to stay nestled in his arms .
Joycelyn lifted her gaze for a moment and saw that the entire area was dark , not a single light in sight .
Even the Mercer familys lights were off .
1/3 Chapter 80 The darkness was eerie .
Joycelyn trembled slightly , then quickly averted her eyes , burrowing back into Ellisons chest .
At that moment , she was more dependent on Ellison than ever before .
It felt as though only he could provide safety in her world .
After a while , she sniffled and asked , How did you know I was in trouble ? Your distress signal came to my phone , Ellison answered in a soft , calm tone .
I saw the location and came straight away He gently stroked her back , patiently soothing her without any accusations .
His words were full of concern and gentle sorrow .
Because I knew you wouldnt come back to the Mercer family on your own .
I was worried you might be in danger .
His voice was low and quiet , like a stream gently flowing in the forest .
Tears welled up in Joycelyns eyes again .
It seemed that he understood her and cared for her even more than she had imagined .
Thank you , she said , her voice breaking as she pressed her face against his chest .
She didnt know how to repay him , so she clung to him tightly , staying close to him .

Ellison wrapped her even more securely in his arms , his voice tender as he asked , Do you want to go to the hospital ? No , Joycelyn whispered , shaking her head .
I just want to go home .
Okay , Ellison replied , nodding and telling William to drive them home .
After they left , the Mercer family building became the stage for a gruesome operation .
-The bodyguards remained silent as they gave Cedric and Tristan stimulant drugs .
Once the effects kicked in , they were pinned to the ground by four bodyguards , and the lead surgeon performed the operation , removing their testicles .
After the procedure , Cedric managed to crawl outside , covered in blood , and begged for help .
His neighbors rushed him to the hospital .
Even when the police arrived , they dismissed Cedric and Tristans explanations , labeling it as a drug induced incident where the two men had harmed each other .
No matter how Cedric and Tristan tried to protest , their pleas were rejected .
Cedric and Tristan were completely ruined .
These were the events that Joycelyn learned of later .
Back home , in a safe environment , Joycelyns tense emotions finally began to ease .
I heard someone paid them to harm me , she said , keeping her head lowered , looking uneasy .
She seemed physically fine , but the trauma from the danger had triggered some post stress responses .
For example , when Ellison tried to help her undress to prepare for a bath , she immediately stopped him , saying , Dont touch me .
2/3 12:28 Thu , 13 Feb O Chapter 80 478 % She clutched her clothes tightly , and her swollen , tear streaked eyes glanced at Ellison .
She knew her reaction had hurt him , so she quickly apologized , Im sorry … Ellison reached up to gently touch her face , his voice soft and filled with tenderness .
You dont need to apologize .
Its my fault for not protecting you properly .
Joycelyn froze , staring at him in confusion .
Her throat tightened , but the words wouldnt come out .
It should have been her apologizing to him , for getting him worried and causing him trouble .
Yet he was apologizing to her .
Ellisons gaze deepened , his eyes soft like he was looking at something precious that he had almost lost .
I really wanted to deal with those two scumbags myself earlier , Ellison said slowly , his voice laced with pain .
But I didnt want to scare you .
His words struck Joycelyn hard .
Ellison , I think … I really like you , Joycelyn whispered , her lips trembling as tears flowed down her face .
