Chapter 65 Retribution
Faced with impending doom, Cedric began to scream at the top of his lungs: “Help! Somebody! Help me! Please!”
Just then, the doors of the surrounding suites burst open, and a group of highly trained bodyguards charged into Cedric’s suite.
The bodyguards formed split into two groups the moment they entered Cedric’s suite. One group formed a line in front of Cedric, whereas the other group formed a circle around Nadine and Leo.
Relief coursed through Cedric.
He had his father to thank for the bodyguards’ presence. After what happened to Eddie, his father had assigned a lot of protection to keep Cedric safe.
At the moment, all twenty of his guards were here. Now, Cedric’s confidence returned.
“So, you people got to Shawn Harris, huh?” Cedric said, scowling at Nadine and Leo. “I don’t care who you people are. You’re both screwed.”
Leo and Nadine, who were both unfazed by the presence of Cedric’s guards, continued to study Cedric silently.
Having mistaken their silence for fear, Cedric grew cockier. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. “Well, I suppose I can let you live if you bring me Marie.” Cedric’s gaze zeroed in on Leo. “You’re that bitch’s brother-in-law, aren’t you? Hurry up and bring her here. After that…” Cedric smirked. “Kneel and apologize to me. Then I’ll let you live…”
Cedric gaze flicked towards Nadine, his eyes roaming over her beautiful curves as he gave her a salacious once-over.
“Ask this pretty lady to stay behind as well,” Cedric added. “I’ll let you go after I have some fun with her.”
Nadine stared at Cedric as though he had lost his mind. “Fool,” Nadine said.
“Take them all out,” Leo ordered.
“Yes, sir.”
Nadine moved swiftly and silently, punching, kicking, maiming, and crippling.
Screams and howls filled the room as bones were shattered and wrists were snapped.
Cedric could only watch in sheer horror as the woman tossed his guards around like ragdolls.
In less than a minute, the guards surrounding Leo and Nadine were dispatched with.
Cedric’s cigarette fell from his lips to the carpeted floor.
When Nadine’s crimson gaze fell on Cedric, the remaining bodyguards formed a protective wall in front of him.
“Guess it’s your turn then, boys,” Nadine said.
“Argh!!”
Nadine twisted the wrist of one of the bodyguards until it broke.
Cedric couldn’t believe his own eyes. All his life, he’d never seen a woman who could fight so well. In less than a minute, she had managed to take out more than twenty highly trained security guards.
“Do you have other men lurking around?” Leo asked, stopping beside Nadine amidst a litter of bodies. “If you do, then you might as well summon them now. We’re in something of a hurry, you see.”
Cedric’s face had gone completely pale.
He was slowly realizing that he’d messed with the wrong people.
A loud thud sounded as Cedric’s knees hit the floor.
He stared up at Leo and pleaded with silently him with his eyes.
“Please don’t kill me… Please… My father… My father is Thomas Reyes…”
Leo pressed his lips together. “I know exactly who your father is.”
As though he’d just been tossed a lifeline, Cedric threw his arms around Leo’s feet and held on for dear life. “Yes! Thomas Reyes! That’s my father! He’s the chairman of Julton Pharmaceutical! He’ll give you any amount you want!”
Leo snickered. “Julton Pharmaceutical? You think your father’s money can save you? ”
Cedric went pale once again. He didn’t understand. Julton Pharmaceutical was one of the biggest companies in Emerdale. Yet, this guy was acting like his father’s company was just some no-name startup.
“Julton Pharmaceutical’s days are numbered,” Leo said, pausing to look at the frightened man at his feet. “And its downfall begins with you.”
Leo gave Nadine an eye signal, which Nadine answered with a nod.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“N- No! No! P- Please! Don’t! Don’t hurt me! Don’t-”
Cedric’s pleas turned into a blood-curdling scream.
Crimson spilled from Cedric’s crotch when Nadine yanked her boot away from his groin.
A sense of devastation washed over Cedric as he stared at the blood pooling between his legs. He was so shocked that he could no longer feel the pain at his ruined testicles.
Leo’s logic was simple. Since Cedric liked to objectify women and treat them as nothing more than sex toys, he would destroy his manhood in turn. That way, he’d never be able to violate Marie or other women ever again.
And just like that, both of Thomas Reyes’ sons had been reduced to a pair of castrated cripples.
Leo’s gaze was cold and calm the entire time. It was as though none of what happened bothered him.
On his way out of the suite, Leo noticed the assortment of items on the couch. When his sight landed on the flogger and the rope, he frowned.
Turning to face the woman cowering at the far end of the room, Leo said, “What’s all this?”
The woman’s eyes darted to Leo’s face. Once she was certain that Leo meant her no harm, she began speaking in a tentative tone: “Those are basically sex toys. They’re meant for Marie Henderson. Um… Mr. Reyes has a kink for that kind of thing, so…”
Leo arched a brow. “Is that so?” Leo went silent in thought. Moments later, he motioned the woman towards him. “Would you come over here please?”
The woman shuddered at Leo’s command, though she didn’t dare disobey him. With slow and unsteady steps, the woman made her way towards Leo.
“Cuff him,” Leo said to the woman.
Understanding dawned on the woman, and a chill careened down her spine
“N- No, Cheryl!” A panicked look formed on Cedric’s face. “Don’t you dare do that to me, Cheryl! You can’t do this to me, Cheryl. Not after how well I’ve been treating you!”
“Cedric…” Cheryl shot him a helpless look. “I’m so sorry…”
Gritting her teeth, Cheryl picked up the handcuffs and deftly secured them around Cedric’s wrists.
“You know what to do next,” Leo said to Cheryl.
Cheryl shuddered once again. A moment later, she composed herself and took out her phone and set it up at one corner of the room. Once the camera app was running, Cheryl picked up the long whip and sauntered towards Cedric.
Cedric screamed in pain as Cheryl lashed him repeatedly.
“Change it up.”
The whip stilled in the air, and Cheryl looked towards Leo, who repeated his command. Cheryl looked towards Cedric once again. “Please don’t hate me, Mr. Reyes. I had no choice… I really had no choice…”
The final recording was five minutes long.
Leo took the phone and passed it to Nadine. “Send a copy of this video to the reporters. Make sure to do it anonymously. Also…” Leo gave Cedric another glance. “Leak it onto the internet.”
“Yes, sir.”
Nadine saved the video to her phone and pocketed the device.
Nadine could see that this would be the end of Julton Pharmaceutical. Once this video was released to the public, the company’s reputation would be ruined.
