Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 712

It was tto put Maria’s words to the test.

Victor quietly stared at Joey as he searched his face in the hope of finding sclues.

Joey wanted to look away several times, but he knew if he did,

Victor would get more suspicious.

Joey relaxed his grip on Victor’s 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 don’t cwith you.”

“That’s none of your business!” Victor said as he glared at him.

“But I don’t want you to get in trouble because of me!” Joey unexpectedly raised his voice, which was unmistakably firm.

His words struck Victor’s heart, but Victor pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Victor still didn’t 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, letgo.

I promise I will listen to whatever you askto do.”

Victor was silent for a moment.

He looked into Joey’s 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 won’t.

If I can assist you by doing this, I will.

But you won’t requestto do this.

You wantedto be present at the press conference, but you chose to deal with it alone since I am sick.

You didn’t change your mind even after Lukas persuaded you.

So you won’t askto do that.”

Victor glanced at him and didn’t 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 doctor’s 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.

“I’m giving you three seconds.

Lie down.”

“But…”

“If you don’t do that in three seconds, you are not going anywhere,”

Victor said coldly with a vacant look on his face.
