True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 193 Joey is Missing

Sebastian got back from City C five days later. As soon as he got in the car, Dominic started talking. "Mr. Winters, something weird's going on. Mr. Blackwood's been telling his business buddies that he's in bad health and wants to sell his new company dirt cheap."

Sebastian's eyes widened. Benjamin's new company was in the photovoltaic industry, something he was really into.

This industry was just starting out and had a bright future. Plus, it was right up his alley, making it easy to manage.

The company was less than six months old and already worth hundreds of millions. If it kept growing, it could out-earn many established companies in five years. Even if Benjamin was sick, he wouldn't rush to sell unless he wanted to leave. Thinking about this, Sebastian's heart raced. He quickly ordered, "Take me to Mr. Blackwood's house."

Half an hour later, they arrived. Sebastian hurried into the hall.

Seeing Benjamin come out of the kitchen in an apron, he relaxed a bit but still sounded urgent. "Dad, where's Joey?"

Benjamin pointed upstairs and smiled. "Upstairs. When did you get back?"

"Just now. I brought gifts for you and Joey from City C and came straight here," Sebastian replied.

Seeing Dominic holding a bunch of gift boxes, a complicated look flashed in Benjamin's eyes, but he quickly hid it. "Dinner's almost ready. Go call Joey."

"Okay," Sebastian said, rushing upstairs.
