Chapter 858
Christina wiped her tears and shook her head, “Grandpa, stop hitting Mom. I’m fine!”
Douglas finally lowered his hand and let out a long, exhausted sigh as he sank onto the couch.
Irene, still shaken, crawled toward Leroy, her face full of panic when she saw him lying motionless on the floor. “Leroy, are you okay? Please, don’t scare me like this! What did those bastards do to you?”
Tears of humiliation welled in Leroy’s eyes as he suddenly threw his arms around Irene, sobbing, “Mom, I don’t want to live anymore! I want to jump off a building! I’ll never be clean again!”
A terrible thought flashed through Irene’s mind, making her heart drop. She immediately reached out, checking his body with trembling hands.
“Leroy, did those monsters… did they do that to you?” Her voice cracked as she struggled to get the words out. “Did they… violate you?”
If Leroy had been assaulted like that, she had no idea how she would even begin to comfort him.
Leroy shook his head but continued sobbing. “No, my ass is fine… but my mouth… I can still taste it! It’s filthy, it’s disgusting–I feel like I’ll never get it out of me!”
Irene shuddered, a chill running down her spine. “Wait… so they didn’t touch your ass, but your mouth? Those sick bastards–they did it in your mouth?!”
Her voice was a mix of shock and fury. “Hold on, honey, I’m taking you to the hospital. We’ll clean it out, we’ll fix this, I swear!”
She grabbed Leroy and tried to drag him toward the door. However, he was too weak to stand. He pulled away and shook his head.
“No, Mom, let go of me! I don’t want to see anyone–I don’t want to go outside! Those bastards forced me to drink piss. Piss, Mom! I’m a man–I have my pride! How the hell am I supposed to live with this?”
Irene froze. “Wait… what?”
She blinked at him in disbelief. “You’re saying they made you drink piss?”
Leroy clenched his teeth, his expression filled with fury. “Yeah! Those Hidden Dragons scumbags forced me! If you don’t believe me, smell my breath!”
He opened his mouth, and a wave of foul stench hit Irene’s face. She gagged and recoiled so fast that she nearly fell over, covering her nose as she stumbled away.
“Damn it, Leroy! Why the hell would you make me smell it?” Her voice was full of both disgust and irritation. She shot him a look of pure disappointment.
She thought she could deal with this as long as he had not been assaulted in the worst way and nothing had been done to him.
Douglas, who had been silently watching, finally spoke, his tone cold. “Are you two idiots done embarrassing yourselves? If you’re finished making a scene, tell me–what’s the next step for the Stevens family?”
Irene awkwardly chuckled, clearly unsure of how to respond.
Christina hesitated before asking, “Grandpa, did you really call Andrew?”
Douglas’s eyes flashed with anger as he snapped, “What the hell do you think? You heartless little fool—you treated him like garbage, and now you expect me to go begging him for help?”
Christina’s face paled. “Wait… so you didn’t call Andrew?”
Douglas sighed deeply. “Of course not. I’ve already troubled him enough; he’s done more than enough for this family. But imagine that, just hearing his name was enough to send those Hidden Dragons cowards running for their lives. Andrew’s out of our league now.”
Irene pursed her lips, frowning. She crossed her arms and scoffed. “Oh, come on! You’re exaggerating. He’s not that big of a deal.”
