Chapter 220:

During the journey, Alicia was completely consumed by thoughts about Monica's safety, without once considering who could be behind all this.

Finding out that Joshua was responsible didn't surprise her, fear had already taken hold of her mind.

Since their divorce there had been a deep resentment between them, and Joshua, always agitated, was now trying to channel all his suffering towards her.

When Joshua reached out to touch her, Alicia recoiled in disgust.

Her body trembled and she instinctively tried to pull away, but Joshua’s hand shot out and gripped her chin tightly.

His voice lowered, dark and menacing.

“You still have the nerve to reject me?”

The pressure of his grip seemed to crush her bones, but Alice refused to break.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and asked, “Where’s Monica?”

Joshua sneered, his eyes dark with cruelty.

“Shouldn’t you care more about your own life? Monica was just the bait, you’re the one I want.

Without warning, he ripped the blindfold off her eyes and threw it onto the bed, immobilizing her.

His lips crashed against hers, but Alicia fought back, biting down hard on his nose before pulling her head away.

Joshua screamed in pain, stumbling back as he clutched his now bleeding nose.

Alice's eyes burned with fury.

"Take me to Monica, now!"

Joshua grabbed her by the neck and growled, “She’s dead!”

For a moment, Alice felt her breath catch.

A wave of despair consumed her, but almost instantly her resolve returned.

She stared at him, her voice firm.

“No, that’s impossible.

You didn’t kill her.

The drug in your system was developed and modified by Monica.

Only she knows the cure.

Joshua tightened his fingers around her neck, his eyes burning with hatred.
