Chapter 178 Complete Shock

• Juliet sat in Joy's car, completely frozen, as she listened to what Joy was showing and telling her. Joy showed her all the bruises on her arms that Daniel had inflicted on her, and Juliet gasped, her eyes wide in horror. "We can't stay here for long; he might have found out what is left", Joy said; she was scared that he might have placed some kind of tracker on the car, and now she would have to ditch it. She should have thought of that when escaping, but she had been too scared to think about that, and all she could think about was escaping. "We have to leave the car behind. I think he might have placed a tracker on it to find me if I ever try to escape," She said to Juliet, who was thinking of what to do. She knew she had to tell Alex about it because they needed his help.
• "First, we have to get out of here," Juliet said, and they both left the car and hailed a taxi. "Thank you,", Joy said to Juliet again, and she nodded and took Joy's hand in hers and squeezed it... They arrived at the apartment a while later, and Joy was hesitant to go in at first, but Juliet successfully convinced her that everything would be fine... "Is Alex home?" Joy asked as they went up the elevator, and Juliet shook her head. "No, he is at work"
• She unlocked the front door and led Joy to the living room while Juliet went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She also called Alex up. He needed to be there. "Hello, Alex, you need to come home right now", Juliet said immediately. Alex answered the phone call. "Is something wrong?" Alex asked at the other end of the line, immediately becoming worried, but Juliet sighed deeply. "No, I mean. Just come home right now. you need to be here..." She said to Alex before ending the call and going back to the living room where Joy was. She handed the glass of water to Joy and made her drink from it before Juliet finally told her about what she had done. "I called Alex and told him to come home... you don't have to worry I didn't tell him that you are here. He is the only one that can help you right now" Juliet explained and joyfully nodded. She knew Alex was a kind boy but it didn't change the fact that he was Daniel's nephew and his family. She had contemplated asking for his help before but ended up not doing it because she was afraid he would confront his uncle about it... and what if Daniel manipulated him into thinking she was the one at fault, he was close to his uncle and had been close to him since he was a child...
