Chapter 88 The Truth of the Banquet

"No, it was her mom, Angie. I heard she was desperate to sell it for cash, probably to pay off gambling debts. There's more to this story, though. Maybe Ms. Blackwood was forced." Hearing this, a chill settled in Sebastian's eyes.

He suddenly remembered Joey wearing that necklace on their anniversary.

She hated Angie so much, there's no way she'd give her something so valuable unless she was forced.

Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly. "Let's go to the hotel and check the surveillance."

Half an hour later, Sebastian was in the hotel's surveillance room.

He watched for a long time but didn't see Angie.

Just when he was about to give up, he saw Joey running towards the stairs in a panic, the necklace around her neck.

When Joey appeared on the screen again, she was being carried by Julian.

Sebastian immediately had the image zoomed in.

He noticed the necklace was gone from Joey's neck.

Comparing the two images, he already guessed what happened.

His eyes darkened as he looked at the screen and coldly ordered, "Find Angie for me."

Sebastian, the heir to the powerful Winters family in City B, had no trouble finding someone.

In less than an hour, Dominic came to report. "Mr. Winters, Angie was captured by Henry's men and is being held at the base. I heard Mr. Knight ordered it, and they beat her up pretty badly." Hearing this, Sebastian's heart tightened.

Julian came from a scholarly family and wouldn't resort to such harsh measures unless provoked. It must be Joey.

Sebastian immediately sent someone to bring Angie over to interrogate her overnight.

When Angie saw Sebastian, it was like she saw hope.

She immediately begged for mercy. "Mr. Winters, Joey has been with you for so long, I could be considered half your mother-in-law. Please spare me, I'll tell you everything."
