Chapter 18 Come Back to Me Obediently
Joey bit her lip, trying to keep herself calm. Her voice, hoarse from exhaustion, pleaded, "Sebastian, my father is not the kind of person who breaks his word. If you want to retaliate against me, come at me, but don't tarnish his reputation for a lifetime. He values his integrity more than anything, even his own life. He just had surgery, and your actions could cost him his life. Do you realize that?"
Upon hearing these words, Sebastian's expression froze for a moment, then a glint of amusement flickered in his deep eyes.
"You want to save your father?" He chuckled lightly. "Meet me at the hospital parking lot."
Though Joey had suspected Sebastian's involvement, hearing his confession was another matter. She never expected him to disregard the three years they had spent together. If he had ever cared for her even a little, even for a fleeting moment, he wouldn't be so cold and heartless.
With a sudden tightness in her throat and moist eyes, Joey looked up at the glaring lights in the corridor and said coldly, "Sebastian, just you wait. I will definitely seek justice for my father and not let you falsely accuse an innocent man!" Sebastian smirked. "Alright, let's see how you seek this justice."
Five minutes later, Joey found Sebastian's car in the underground parking lot. Dominic, upon seeing her, waved and said, "Secretary Blackwood, President Winters is waiting for you in the car." He opened the car door for Joey, let her in, and then walked away to a distant place.
Sebastian, seeing Joey enter, immediately noticed the wound on her forehead. A tinge of red flashed in his dark eyes. "Who did this to you?" he asked, gripping Joey's chin, his gaze murky and unreadable.
Joey turned her head away, unenthusiastically replying, "It's none of your business."
"Joey, is this what you meant by leaving me and still being able to live? Is this how you've chosen to live?" he retorted. He took out some ointment from the glove compartment and applied it to her wound. Then he found the ugliest band-aid, the one she had bought to punish him the last time he got drunk and accidentally cut his face.
Seeing the incredibly ugly band-aid, Joey instinctively moved back. "I won't put it on."
Sebastian forcefully pulled her into his embrace and stuck the band-aid on her forehead. After putting it on, he retaliated by biting her lip and mocking, "You look hideous!"novelbin

Joey's face turned pale with anger. Sebastian had managed to ruin the Blackwood family and still had the audacity to play with her.
"Sebastian, what exactly do you want in order to spare my father?" she demanded.
Sebastian's deep eyes stared at her intensely, laughing coldly. "It's simple. You obediently come back to me, and I guarantee that not only will your father be safe, but the Blackwood family will also be restored to its former glory."
