Chapter 10

Author: Sugar Cake
The two men were none other than the abductors Charmaine had hired previously!

Charmaine widened her eyes and took two steps back in disbelief.

Leon explained, "They've admitted that you arranged the abduction and framed Joy to make everyone think you were the victim."

Charmaine shook her head. "I don't know them! Leon, don't listen to their one-sided accusations..."

Leon did not give Charmaine a chance to explain. He took out his phone and held the screen in front of her.

On the screen was a screenshot of a cross-border transfer. The recipient was Charmaine Quinn, and the amount was 100 million.

He swiped again.

In the photo, Charmaine was dressed glamorously and surrounded by luxury, which was a far cry from her tearful claims of starving abroad.

Charmaine's face turned deathly pale. She tried to snatch the phone away but failed. She has no idea where Leon found these things, let alone who was trying to harm her by projecting the surveillance video that served as the trigger

    On the night of the event, Ian went to the campsite with a heavy bag on his back. He set up the tent, arranged snacks, and lit a bonfire all by himself. He did not allow Joy to dirty her hands at all.When everything was set up, he patted the soft cushion and allowed Joy to sit down first. Then, he took out the blanket he had prepared in advance and draped it over her. "This seat is great. I'll be in charge of taking photos later. You're in charge of seeing the northern lights." After Ian finished speaking, he suddenly felt a tug on his sleeve.Joy tugged at his sleeve. "Beautiful scenery is meant to be captured with your eyes. Sit down and let’s enjoy it together."Ian's ears turned red again.While waiting for the northern lights, neither of them spoke.Joy stuffed snacks into her mouth while feeling the warmth of the bonfire.Just then, a news article popped up on her phone.[Former business tycoon Leon Scott passed away this morning. His company declared bankruptcy before hi

    Joy remained in recovery for quite some time.Lisa had been blaming herself for pushing Joy into the lion's den, so she voluntarily stayed by Joy's side and took care of her. Lisa rarely mentioned Leon in front of Joy. Whenever she did, she would criticise him harshly. It was also because of Leon that she began to have an aversion to good-looking men and would constantly say that no handsome men were good.With Lisa's company, Joy gradually emerged from her state of gloom.In early April, she packed her bags to return to Astoria with Lisa to continue her studies.Hector saw her off at the airport and reluctantly urged her to take good care of herself.Just as the two were about to go through the security check, a figure came into view. Wearing a loose hospital gown, Leon stumbled toward her in desperation.Lisa quickly shielded Joy behind her and shouted angrily, "Scumbag, why aren't you dead?"Leon seemed to not have heard Lisa. He looked past Lisa toward Joy, pleading desper

    "Joy!" Hector hugged Joy tightly as he burst out in tears.After Joy went abroad, he had been worried and sent her money on time every month. It was not until Joy's account was found untouched that he learned she had secretly joined the medical aid program in a war zone. Every day, he wondered whether Joy was doing well and if she had encountered any danger in the war zone.Later, he learned that Leon had taken Joy back to Jameson City. The villa was heavily guarded. After several failed attempts to break through, he had no choice but to set fire to the place.Fortunately, Joy was rescued."Joy, it's my fault! I shouldn't have accused you and made you suffer so much..." Hector sobbed, his tone filled with remorse.He thought Joy had led a promiscuous life and accused her of being jealous of Charmaine. It was only later that he realized Joy had been the victim all along. Leon and Charmaine toyed with her, not only ruining her reputation but also nearly killing her.! Hector was remo

    Leon confined Joy.In the huge villa, Joy's wrists and ankles were tightly bound with cold iron chains. Every slight struggle made a crisp sound.It was that moment that she realized Leon was more terrifying than he seemed. He traveled thousands of miles to the war zone to find her not for love, but to satisfy his ridiculous sense of possessiveness."Leon, what do I really mean to you?" Joy asked Leon after her 38th failed escape.Leon caressed her face with infatuation, the greed in his eyes like a blazing flame. He replied, "You're the person I love the most."Joy suddenly laughed. Tears covered her face afterward.During her imprisonment, Leon had the kitchen prepare various delicious meals every day, while luxury goods worth tens of millions of dollars were sent to her.Even the housekeepers advised her to settle down as his wife and not go against him. After all, she could live a life of luxury where everything was provided for her.However, the more Leon gave, the emptie

    Joy followed the main force to the front line, her gaze eagerly moving through the ruins. It was unknown how long it took before she finally found Leon beside an abandoned truck.Leon was carried onto the stretcher. However, as the stretcher was being moved, the mask on his face fell off.Lisa exclaimed, "Oh my god, he's handsome!"Joy lowered her head. The moment she saw Leon's face, her breathing stopped instantly.'Leon... It's really him!' Joy pondered inwardly.At the same time, Leon, who was on the stretcher, opened his eyes. Seeing Joy beside him, he grabbed her wrist without hesitation. His voice trembled as if he had survived a disaster. "Joy, don't go..."Lisa widened her eyes. "Do you know each other?"Joy did not know how to explain. She struggled hard, but Leon's hand was like a steel shackle. She could not shake it off, no matter how hard she tried.The two returned to the camp in this strange manner.Joy wanted to leave, but Leon refused and only allowed her to

    The sharp shrapnel hit the man's back, leaving streaks of blood. However, the man did not move at all. He just gritted his teeth, grunted, and muttered, "It's dangerous here. Come with me."Joy was forcibly taken back to a tent by the man.It was not until then that Joy noticed that the man was covered in blood, and the wounds caused by the shrapnel were so deep that his bones were visible. She quickly made the man sit on a chair. "Don't move. I'll treat your wounds."The man did not refuse.Joy carefully cut open the man's clothes and gently picked out the shrapnel embedded in the flesh with tweezers. She was focused on every movement. It was not until Joy had bandaged his wound that she noticed the strange black mask he was wearing."Your face...""It was burned. I don't want to scare others."Joy pursed her lips. Just as she was about to thank him for earlier, Lisa appeared out of nowhere and excitedly pulled her aside. "Joy, did you see his face?""What?" Joy asked.Lisa r
