Dominic shook his head. "No, she put you in themunity hospital."


    Sebastian clenched his jaw, thinking, ''Doesn''t she worry that those ipetent doctors might kill him?''


    He never imagined Joey could be so heartless, not even giving him a chance to make things right.


    Seeing Sebastian''s eyes ze with anger, Dominic didn''t feel sorry for him. Instead, he was secretly pleased.


    After all, he had warned him multiple times, but Sebastian never listened.


    And now, he lost his wife because of his own actions.


    Dominic was actually looking forward to seeing Sebastian struggle to win Joey back.


    Pretending tofort him, Dominic said, "Mr. Winters, Ms. ckwood might be too busy. She went with Mr. Knight to officially sign with Green Group today. They were dressed to the nines and even appeared on TV. Lots of people online are saying they''re the perfect match in the legal world. Let me find that video for you."


    Dominic seemedpletely oblivious to Sebastian''s icy re, smiling as he searched on his phone.


    The veins on the back of Sebastian''s hand bulged.


    He gripped the nket tightly and ordered coldly, "Ban all those ounts that posted thosements!"


    Dominic, who was enthusiastically searching, froze upon hearing this.


    Then he met Sebastian''s cold eyes.


    Frightened, Dominic shivered. "Okay, I''ll do it right away."


    "How''s the investigation going?"


    Dominic immediately replied, "Elizabeth from the secretarial department pretended to be a hotel staff member. She called Mr. Knight, saying Mr. Whitmore had a fever. She also conspired with her sister, who works as a nurse at the hospital, to switch Ms. ckwood''s medication."


    "When they arrived, they found the room door locked, no cell signal, and thendline cut off, leading to what happened next."


    "Where is she now?"


    "I''m still looking for her. I suspect someone is hiding her."


    "Who switched the medication in the car?"


    "It was a mechanic from Auto Dealership. He''s also missing."


    Sebastian''s cold eyes suddenly sharpened, a hint of fierceness simmering deep in his eyes.


    "Keep looking. I don''t believe they just disappear without a trace."


    Joey had been busy for several days before finally signing the contract with Green Group.


    Just as she left thepany building, she got a call from her dad. "Dad, what''s up?"


    Benjaminughed. "Joey, if you have time today,e home. I have something to tell you." "Okay."


    Joey drove home.


    As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw a familiar figure.


    She stood there, staring nkly at Sebastian for over ten seconds.


    Then she asked, "Why are you here?"


    Sebastian stood up from the sofa unhurriedly and walked over to Joey.


    He bent down to get her slippers from the shoe cab, smiling. "I came to check on Mr. ckwood''s recovery. I know a doctor from abroad, Mr. Elwood, who specializes in treating Mr. ckwood''s condition. I thought I''d bring him over to take a look."


    He looked at Joey gentlemanly, without a hint of overstepping. "Would you like toe with me?"


    Joey refused without a second thought, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Winters. My dad is doing well. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."


    After speaking, she didn''t wear the slippers Sebastian had taken out but changed into another pair and went straight upstairs.


    Throughout, she didn''t spare him an extra nce.


    Sebastian''s previously smiling eyes instantly turned sorrowful.


    As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s is your destination for theplete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away!


    He watched Joey''s disappearing figure, his heart aching as if it were being stabbed by needles.


    He thought, ''Joey used to love me so much. How can she just stop loving me?''


    At that moment, Benjamin came out of the kitchen with a tray.novelbin


    He looked around the living room, puzzled. "Didn''t Joeye back? I thought I heard her voice."


    Sebastian walked over, smiling, and took the tray from him, . "She went upstairs to change. I''ll call her down in a bit."


    Benjamin hesitated. "Better not. After all, you two have broken up. It''s not appropriate for an outsider to see a girl''s room."


    Although he liked Sebastian and knew Joey had deep feelings for him, they had such an unpleasant fallout that, as a father, he couldn''t forgive Sebastian so easily.


    Business is business, and feelings are feelings.


    He would no longer let his daughter''s feelings be tied to any interests.


    Hearing the word "outsider," Sebastian felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.


    When Benjamin was discharged from the hospital, he had even worn new clothes and brought out his treasured wine just to see Sebastian.


    He genuinely treated him as a son-inw.


    Every time Sebastian visited, Benjamin would personally cook a few dishes for him.


    Now, after so many days, he had gone from being a prospective son-inw to an outsider.


    Benjamin now treated him with only businesslike politeness.


    With lowered eyes, Sebastian''s gaze was murky and dim.


    Joey sat upstairs for a long time, not hearing the sound of a car leaving.


    She guessed that Sebastian was staying for dinner.


    She stood by the window, tightly clutching an old phone.


    As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s is your destination for theplete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Looking at the messages she had sent in the past, her eyes became moist.


    At that moment, someone knocked on her door.


    Joeyposed herself and walked over to open the door.


    Benjamin, still wearing an apron, smiled warmly and gently patted Joey''s head. "I can''t interfere in your young people''s affairs, but you must believe that I''ll always be on your side."


    "Today, my car broke down on the way home, and Sebastian happened to pass by and gave me a ride. He also found an expert from abroad to treat me. To thank him, I asked him to stay for dinner. There''s nothing more to it." Joey smiled indifferently. "It''s okay. After all, we see each other often."


    "d you think so. Come down for dinner."


    Benjamin and Joey walked downstairs arm in arm.


    As they walked, Joey asked, "Why did you call me back?"


    Benjamin pped his forehead andughed. "I almost forgot. At the ss reunion yesterday, I met a few great guys who might be perfect for you. Let me show you."


    He took out his phone and found the photos in his album.


    Joey didn''t take it seriously.


    Since she graduated from college, this had been a regr thing for Benjamin.


    Just like before, she carefully looked through each photo, asionally making a fewments.


    As they walked, Benjamin said, "If you like any of them, I''ll arrange a date. My daughter is so outstanding. You''ll definitely find your destined one."


    Hearing this, Sebastian''s veins throbbed.


    He thought, ''Joey already has Julian, who has a seven-year crush on her, and Maxwell, who adores her, which is enough to drive me crazy. Why does Benjamin have to add morepetition?''


    He immediately took out his phone and snapped a photo, then sent it directly to Benjamin.


    Sebastian looked at Benjamin with an unwavering gaze. "Mr. ckwood, this is my photo and resume. Could you set up a date for Joey and me as well?"
