Chapter 72 Intimidation

Joey gave a faint smile. "Mr. Winters, this was all arranged by Mrs. Winters. I have no say in it."

Besides, she didn't want to go anyway.

Sebastian stared at her indifferent face, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Joey, you know how important it is who I bring to the anniversary celebration this year. Why aren't you jealous?"

Joey's tone stayed calm and steady.

"Mr. Winters, I have no right to meddle in your affairs. My only job is to be your bed companion and make sure you're pleased. Anything else is none of my business, right?"

Her words were gentle and pleasant, but each one pierced Sebastian's heart like a thorn.

Sebastian held her, his mind filled with images of a once-jealous Joey.

What he wanted was that Joey, not the obedient and flawless Joey of now.

He gently stroked Joey's head. "After work, come with me to try on the dress."

"Mr. Winters, I've already chosen my dress. You should take Ms. Vale instead."

"Joey, your father's health isn't good. Do you really think his condition won't relapse if he finds out about us?"

Joey no longer insisted.

Sebastian knew her weakness was her father.

She responded faintly, "Fine, I'll go. I have a lot to do, so I'll leave now."

She pushed Sebastian away and turned to leave.

Joey worked all day and finally finished at six in the evening. After saying goodbye to her colleagues, she headed to the parking lot alone.

Just as she reached her car, she saw Angie running towards her with a smile. "Joey, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Take me home. I'll make your favorite baked salmon."

She tried to grab Joey's hand, but Joey avoided her.

"I don't have a mother. She died seven years ago."

After saying that, she tried to drive away, but the woman threatened her. "Joey, give me $300,000, or I'll go find your dad."

Joey grabbed Angie's collar, her voice cold and harsh. "If you dare to mess with my dad, I'll kill you!"
