Chapter 77 Caught in a Trap

Julian took Joey to see a psychologist.

After several tests, Julian learned Joey was suffering from severe depression.

The cause? A stress-triggered response.

She had seen someone she shouldn't have.

Thinking about Joey's past, Julian's eyes got a bit misty.

He pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Henry, find a woman named Angie for me."

Two hours later, Julian met Angie.

Her hands and feet were tied, and a black blindfold covered her eyes.

She kept cursing.

Julian stood to the side, smoking quietly as he watched her.

This woman had made Joey suffer for years.

She had driven Joey to the brink of suicide multiple times.

How could she be so cruel to push her own daughter to despair without any remorse?

Thinking of all this, Julian felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He stubbed out his cigarette and instructed Henry, "Hit her, but not kill her."

Henry began to punch under Julian's command.

Angie screamed in pain and begged for mercy on the ground.

In the end, her face was swollen with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Her body was covered in bruises, her arm dislocated, and her thigh broken.

She could only lie on the ground, groaning weakly in pain.

Julian looked at her expressionlessly and said coldly, "Take her to your base and don't let her leave."

This was the best solution he could think of.

He couldn't kill her because she was Joey's biological mother after all.

But he could find a way to keep her away from Joey.

Henry took the order and left with Angie.

Joey stayed in the hospital for two days, and Sebastian didn't even call her.
