Chapter 201 Protecting My Sister

Joey had heard this before. At Aurora's last birthday party, Beatrice had said the same thing.

She didn't care and just gave a faint smile. "By that logic, I look a lot like Isabella too, but all we have between us is hate."

Seeing Joey's indifference, Theodore gave a bitter smile. "Joey, don't lump me in with Isabella. I hate her. Her mom killed mine and made my sister disappear. I'll never side with her."

To gain Joey's trust, Theodore recounted how Connie was murdered and how his sister was switched at birth.

Joey saw the pain in his eyes and his longing for his sister. She felt moved and empathetic. Her resistance began to soften.

She looked at him closely. "What if I told you my dad's illness is linked to your father Darren? What would you think?"

Seeing her tone soften, Theodore relaxed a bit. "I'll investigate right away. If it's true, I'll make sure you get justice."

Joey's eyelashes fluttered. "Then please, Mr. Vale, find out who's been in contact with the Blackwood Family recently and what caused the conflict between my dad and grandma. Someone must be stirring things up; it can't be a coincidence." Theodore nodded firmly. "Alright, I'll look into it. You've had a long day; can you eat something first? If you get sick, Sebastian will come after me."

Joey didn't act coy; she had a lot to deal with Benjamin's illness, Sebastian's safety, and her baby's health.
