It was time to put Marias words to the test.
Victor quietly stared at Joey as he searched his face in the hope of finding some clues.
Joey wanted to look away several times, but he knew if he did,
Victor would get more suspicious.
Joey relaxed his grip on Victors shirt and said in a soft voice,
I heard what you said to Lukas right now. It seems that you will be in a big mess if I dont come with you.
Thats none of your business! Victor said as he glared at him.
But I dont want you to get in trouble because of me! Joey unexpectedly raised his voice, which was unmistakably firm.
His words struck Victors heart, but Victor pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Victor still didnt seem to change his mind, Joey tugged at the hem of his shirt. He blinked his big eyes, looked at him unhappily, and acted like a spoiled child.
Please, let me go. I promise I will listen to whatever you ask me to do.

Victor was silent for a moment. He looked into Joeys eyes and asked,
Will you do whatever I ask you to do? And what if I ask you to severe your relationship with your father? Will you be able to do that?
Listening to this, Joey was shocked, and his hands trembled. But he regained his composure, smiled, and said firmly, You wont. If I can assist you by doing this, I will. But you wont request me to do this. You wanted me to be present at the press conference, but you chose to deal with it alone since I am sick. You didnt change your mind even after Lukas persuaded you. So you wont ask me to do that.
Victor glanced at him and didnt respond.
Shortly after that, the doctor arrived.
Victor moved his hand aside to make way for the doctor so that he could check up on Joey.
Joey assumed Victor was going to leave, so he pushed the doctors hand aside. He raised the blanket and was about to get out of bed to run after Victor.
Victor noticed that Joey was about to step on the floor barefoot.
His eyes darkened, and he said in a warning tone, Joe.
Stunned, Joey froze and peeked at him innocently.
Im giving you three seconds. Lie down.
But
If you dont do that in three seconds, you are not going anywhere,
Victor said coldly with a vacant look on his face.
