Loredana nodded.
Tom led Cormac into the car, and Cormac saw the unconscious John. Cormac gave Boyce a call and asked him to take John away.
Armand had been searching for John’s whereabouts with Boyce these few days. He wanted to catch the person who raped Theresa. Armand immediately followed Boyce to Cormac’s villa when he knew Cormac captured John.
Boyce tied John up and put him into a big sack just in case John woke up and tried to escape. Then, they put John in the car boot. If Boyce didn’t stop Armand, he would have killed John already. Armand sat in the car with a sulky face. He was waiting for the car to drive to a quiet place so that he could kill John.
Cormac asked Tom to send Charles a message, “I’m grateful for his help.”
Cormac had to be grateful to Charles this time for sending John to him regardless of how much he disliked Charles.
Tom replied, “I will send your message to Mr. White,” then he opened the door and invited Tiana into the car, “Let’s go.” Tiana got into the car and left with Tom.
Loredana changed into her daily clothes and walked out of the villa. She knew Tiana had left when she saw Tom’s car leaving. “Do you want to go with me?” Cormac asked Loredana when he saw her changed into her daily clothes.
“Yes, I want to know what he did to Theresa,” Loredana sounded cold.
Cormac didn’t persuade Loredana. He was with her anyway, “I’ll drive.”
John was in Boyce and Armand’s car. They were driving in front of Cormac’s car, and Cormac was following them from behind.
Boyce chose the location to kept John. He didn’t choose a location in suburban areas, but instead, he kept John in the station.
Boyce was a deputy director, and he was more powerful than he used to be. He didn’t have to use as much effort to get things done his way.
Furthermore, he had henchmen. He didn’t need to worry about gossips.
Boyce wasn’t sure how strong the anaesthetic was. John didn’t wake up even after he got thrown on the floor. So, Boyce got a pile of water and poured it on John.
John was wounded, and he was confused as he woke up in such a violent way. He didn’t know what happened.
John looked around and was curious if he had arrived in White City yet. Declan told him that he was going to hide John in a place named White City to avoid being found out by Cormac. However, when John opened his eyes, he saw three men standing in front of him.
John’s eyes widened, “How am I here? I thought I was going to White City?”
“You…You…” John was terrified.
Before John figured out what happened, Armand kicked him in the stomach. John laid on the floor and covered his stomach. It was so painful like his intestines were broken.
Armand’s eyes were red. He grasped John’s collar and questioned him, “What did you do to Theresa?”
John curled his body up when he saw Armand staring at him like a beast, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
John was wide awake, and he knew exactly who Armand was talking about, but he didn’t dare to admit it. It was obvious that they were going to beat him to death if he admitted he knew Theresa. They would probably cripple him even if they didn’t kill him.
Armand sneered, “You don’t know?”
The next second, Armand punched John in the face. John spat blood out of his mouth and asked in a surprised and terrified tone, “How did you find me?”
Armand wasn’t in the mood of answering any of John’s questions. He only wanted to know what John did to Theresa. He smiled cruelly, “Stop bullshitting. Answer me, what did you do to Theresa?” Boyce put Loredana in another room. She could see everything happening in another room through the monitors in front of her.
Cormac and Boyce became bystanders.
“I’ve done nothing,” John decided not to come clean. Armand was enraged. John was naked, and Theresa’s clothes got torn off. Now John wanted him to believe that he had done nothing to Theresa? “It doesn’t matter anymore. Now that you’re here, you’re not going to walk out of this room alive regardless of what you did,” Armand was so furious that he became calm. He looked down at John. Then, Armand unbuttoned his coat, took it off and thrown it on the floor.
John was scared. He kept backing away, “Don’t… Don’t come near me!”
Armand sneered, “Useless bastard. Don’t dare to admit who you’ve done? Do you think that I can’t do anything to do as long as you deny the truth? If I don’t kill you today, I won’t call myself Armand. I’ll change my name to the wimpy Armand!”
John looked at Cormac and Boyce in fear, “Stop him! He’ll break the law if he killed me!”
“Who was the witness?” Boyce asked.
John’s face went pale out of fear. He swallowed his saliva, “I…I’ll tell you everything. Don’t kill me.”
Armand stopped. He wasn’t going to let him go, but instead, he needed to hear what John said first. Armand sneered, “Tell. But keep in mind, I will let you die in misery if I found out that you’re lying.” John said, “I won’t. I won’t. I’ll tell you the whole story, but can you let me go if you told you?”
“I will let you out of here,” said Armand.
John took a breath of relief. There’ll be hope as long as he got out of this place. These people were crazy. John was so scared that he would die here. He told Armand everything without overthinking, “I wanted to rape her at first. She was pretty and she took advantage of me. She was initially friendly to me, so I thought she would want to sleep with me. But she attacked me with the candlestick after I untie the ropes for her. See, these wounds came from her. I didn’t rape her. For real. I’ve told you everything. Can you let me go now?”
Armand was amused, “You wanted to rape Theresa and you wanted me to let you go? Are you dreaming?”
Armand was ready to hear his worst assumption came true. He was thinking even if Theresa was raped, he wouldn’t turn away from her. Armand wanted to take care of Theresa in his best effort. Now that Armand had heard the truth from John, he felt so happy that Theresa wasn’t raped.
After all, it would traumatize Theresa if she was raped. Those who were mentally weak might not even have the courage to stay alive.
John widened his eyes and raised his voice, “How can you break your promise? You said you would let me out of here. I’ve told you the truth.”
Armand squatted and pinched John’s jaw. He sneered, “Is Declan blind to make you his assistant? You’re stupid. I did tell you that I would let you out of here, but did I say that you’re going to walk out of here? You can get out of here lying down as well.”
John was terrified. He knelt down in front of Armand, “Please forgive me. I’ve learned my mistakes. I won’t do it again.”
John was a bully and a wimpy person. He would have been put into an important position if he was capable. He became Declan’s assistant because Declan’s previous assistant was arrested, so Declan promoted him. John wasn’t capable at all. He got promoted because he always buttered Declan up and that was why Declan remembered him.
However, John was a disappointment. He made a big mistake before he got to enjoy his glory days.
Armand rolled up his sleeves and said cruelly, “Which hand did you use to touch her?”
John quickly hid his right hand. Then he kept his arms crossed after he realized his movements was too obvious. John cried loudly, “I’m sorry. Let me go, please. I will do just about anything for you.” “Is it the right hand?” Armand grasped John’s hair and pulled him backwards, “Are you going to surrender it or should I do it for you?”
Snot covered John’s face as he cried. At this moment, John didn’t look like a man at all. He was weak, wimpy and cowardly.
“Bastard,” Armand scolded John in a disgusted tone. He pulled John’s hair and repeatedly pushed his head against the wall. John was in pain. He screamed like a wounded horse. Boyce couldn’t stand the screams and handed Armand a roll of duct tape.
“I thought the interrogation room was sound-proof?” Armand didn’t understand why Boyce did that.
Boyce didn’t even want to look at John. John didn’t deserve to be a man.
“It’s painful to hear.”
Armand got Boyce’s point and took the duct tape from Boyce. John quickly ran to another corner, “Please. Please let me go.”
“Hold him down,” Armand signalled Boyce.
John quickly ran away when he saw Boyce approaching him. He would have died if he didn’t run. However, John only got to run a few steps before Boyce caught him. Boyce twisted John’s arms and let Armand sealed his lips.
Armand sealed the tape around John’s head. Then, Armand threw the duct tape away and told Boyce, “Give me his right hand.”
Boyce pulled John’s right hand on the floor. Armand slapped John’s face and said, “I don’t deserve to be a man if I don’t cripple you.”
