True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 172 You're So Good

Sebastian's cold eyes flicked over them, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips. "What's he planning to give?"

The woman smirked. "Ernest has an antique that could sell for a lot. If he gives it to the boss, my kid could be branch manager next year with a million-dollar salary. Something you, a mere doctor, can't match." Joey frowned at their sarcasm. After all these years, they still couldn't stop competing.

Benjamin, who ran the company Ernest left, was highly capable, but these people were jealous. They always used Angie's bad behavior to undermine Benjamin's standing in the family.

Joey didn't want to argue, so she tugged on Sebastian's arm and whispered, "Ignore them, they're always like this."

Sebastian smiled indifferently. "I was just thinking of getting you an antique to play with."

Joey glared at him. "That's my great-grandfather's treasure; he wouldn't give it to anyone."

"I never planned to take it. Even if we get married, it's not like anyone can give us gifts."

Not to mention a mere branch manager of Winters Group, even high-level execs at the headquarters might not get to attend their wedding.

Sebastian looked at Ernest and bent down. "You heard him, the injury isn't serious, don't worry."
