Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 67

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 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?”
