Chapter 67 Captivity

Joraph calmly put down the rolled up cuff on his left wrist and replied. ” accidentally injured myself

some time ago

He didn’t like people noticing his scars because many were from childhood

When his mother

alive, she married Wayne and took Joseph to live with Wayne

Waynes domestic violence had left many scars on Joseph’s body that never faded away

During that penod, Joseph had been kidnapped and sold by human traders for more than half a year.

He had been beaten many times by the family who bought him.

He had got all the scars from burns and falls. All of which he had heard from Shawn later

However, the scar on Joseph’s wrist did not seem to be caused by abuse Joseph couldn’t remember

how it got, and Shawn also couldn’t tell

Shawn had said that Joseph’s mother had an accident that night. When Shawn had taken Joseph to

Wayne’s villa, Shawn had noticed Joseph’s wrist was injured. But Shawn had had no time to ask where

it came from.

Later, Joseph saw his mother burned to death. And after a severe illness, he had forgotten everything

before that

So no one knew how he got the scar on his wrist.

Seeing that Joseph didn’t want to say more, Deborah didn’t ask any more questions

She felt momentarily that the scar was similar to the one on Ashton’s wrist.

So she couldn’t help but ask. Deborah remembered when she was thirteen, Ashton had been injured

trying to save her.

After leaving Joseph’s villa, Deborah stood outside alone for a long time. She didn’t want to go back to

the eerie place Ashton had arranged for her.

But she had no choice. Her mother was still in Ashton’s hands. And Joseph made a deal to let Deborah

meet Alyssa if Deborah helped

him deal with Ashton.

So now, Deborah had no way to confront Ashton.

Deborah didn’t know how long she stood there. And the night was getting darker and darker before

Deborah walked to the front and

took a taxi back to the house.

As soon as she arrived outside the house, through the iron gate, she saw a conspicuous black car

parked in the front yard.

Deborah got upset. She was very familiar with it. The car belonged to Ashton.

While Deborah was trying to figure out how to explain where she went, Ashton got out of the car.

He didn’t look like he just arrived. He probably felt that the house was too unlucky, so he didn’t go in,

just sat in the car and waited for

Deborah.

Deborah immediately became nervous. Seeing him approaching, she stood still.

Ashton suppressed his emotions and asked her, “Where did you go?”

Deborah held a plastic bag and replied, “I went to buy daily necessities”

Ashton looked at the transparent plastic bag in her hand, which contained a few simple things.

He sneered. “Just these two towels and toothbrushes need you to buy them from two or three o’clock in

the afternoon to ten thirty at night?”

After seeing Deborah off in the afternoon, Nina complained to Ashton, saying that Deborah didn’t want

to live in his house but insisted on living in this gloomy house.

As a relu Deborah disappeared as soon as he came over.

Ashton thought she had escaped, so he asked Jeff to go to the alport, train station, and all

intersections out of the city to look for

At that time of night, she came back by herself.

Deborah’s tone was still cany Thaven’t

here for many years, and many mads have been changed, so I went to the wrong place.”

Ashton looked her up and down aggressively, like examining something

Ashton leaned closer and smelled her body, which was a very light woody perfume,

Ashton immediately thought of Joseph

Ashton’s face immediately became cold “Because you walked in the wrong place, you got to hang out

for eight hours?

Deborahy let me tell you, don’t dream about running. If I disagree, you can’t get out of this Richmond.

No one can help you”

Deborah bypassed him and walked inside ‘Whatever you think.”

Ashton took out his mobile phone and called Jeff “Deborah is back. Find out where she went.”

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and walked inside with Deborah

This house had not been lived in for many years. Ashton opened the door with the key and went in.

The room was full of dust, even a lot of spider webs And it was gloomy everywhere.

Ashton frowned and was disgusted, standing outside the entrance door. He was not even willing to take

a step through the door.

It could be used to make ghost movies. Deborah was crazy to ask to live in this crappy place.

Ashton couldn’t stay for a moment and was about to ask Deborah to leave and take her to his

residence nearby.

Before he could speak, Jeff sent some photos to Ashton, which were just found out.

Ashton took out his mobile phone and saw the photo. It was clearly captured that Deborah had been

outside the villa area where Joseph lived, got off the taxi, and walked in

It wasn’t until after nine o’clock in the evening that she came out of the villa area, stopped a taxi

outside, and left.

Ashton couldn’t even imagine what she had done with Joseph for so many hours.

Deborah had already walked into the living room. It was scary for her. But in front of Ashton, she was From NôvelDrama.Org.

unwilling to show her fear, Because he knew that the more scared he looked, the more Ashton would

force her to stay.

Deborah was about to clean up the place when footsteps approached behind her. Ashton grabbed her

by the shoulders from behind

and pulled her to face him

Ashton turned the phone screen to her angrily. “Is that what you mean when you just went shopping

and took a wrong turn?”

Deborah glanced at the phone. What she saw was herself standing outside the villa area.

That was Richmond’s famous, wealthy neighborhood. And the people living there were rich or

honorable. Deborah had obviously gone

to Joseph.

She was silent for a while, unable to find the right words.

The silence was an obvious statement. Ashton was full of anger. He grabbed Deborah and walked

upstairs.

The house was full of accumulated dust, and he wasn’t even fastidious at this moment. He dragged

Deborah upstairs and kicked

open a bedroom door.

The last time someone had lived in this bedroom was Simon when Deborah was twelve years old.

In the middle of the night that year, Simon dragged Deborah into the bedroom and locked the door.

Then he had an illness attack and died in front of Deborah

After another day and two nights, the police came, disposed of Simon’s body, and took Deborah away.

After that, no one’s been in this house

Ashton pushed Deborah into the bedroom. She entered the old place. Those memories that had been

sealed for more than ten years. seemed to be released at this moment.

All the past flooded into her mind and appeared before her eyes.

The overwhelming sense of fear and suffocation rushed over her head like a flood.

Deborah’s face became pale quickly, and she turned anxiously to block the door that was about to

close. “Let me out.”

The sound of the door being locked from the outside came together with Ashton’s angry voice. “Don’t

even think about it. I should

have taught you a lesson long ago!”
