Chapter 116 Misery Loves Company

After dinner, Julian took Joey back to the hotel.

At the door, he finally asked, "Joey, have you thought about what I mentioned last time?"

Joey hesitated, about to respond, when a deep voice interrupted.

"Ms. Blackwood, do you have a moment? I have some follow-up questions about my case."

Sebastian, dressed in black, approached with a stern look.

He seemed polite but distant, showing no emotion.

Julian clenched his teeth in anger.

He knew Sebastian was doing this on purpose.

Sebastian didn't want Joey to agree to be with him.

Julian sneered at Sebastian. "Mr. Winters, don't you know Joey hasn't rested because of your case? You've gone too far."

Sebastian, unusually polite, nodded to Julian. "Sorry, it's urgent and private. I must ask Mr. Knight to step aside." Julian clenched his fist.

Since the case was private, he couldn't stay.

Joey calmly said, "Julian, I'll give you an answer when we get back. I need to discuss something with him."

Julian nodded. "Don't stay up too late. I'll pick you up for the airport tomorrow."

As Julian entered the elevator, a hint of triumph appeared in Sebastian's eyes.

Inside the room, he quickly reverted to his usual self.

He stared at Joey's bracelet. "This bracelet doesn't suit you. Let me take it off."
