Luna''s voice was frantic. "Sean''s in trouble! I''m chasing him. Don''t call me unless it''s important. Don''t bother me."
Sebastian frowned. The girl had quite a temper, but he could also tell from her tone that Luna fundamentally distrusted him.
"Sean is my assistant. If he''s in trouble, I''m going to help him. Where are you?"
Luna was panicked and angry. "I''m hanging up. It''s toote for you to get here now anyway. That''s it."
Luna hung up.
Sebastian stared at his phone. No wonder he couldn''t get through to Sean''s number. Something had happened.
Sebastian quickly opened his message thread with Sean. Sean had been taken right after he sent the message.
Knowing his personality, he would have been on his way over to find him at that point.
But he had sent a message instead, which meant he must have discovered something.
That''s why he used a message to tell him the truth.
He was discovered, and that''s why he was taken.
Sebastian''s grip on his phone tightened. He spun around, listening to the sound of Joanna banging on the door.
"Sebastian, please, let me out! I''m innocent! I didn''t do anything! You can''t do this to me!"
His gaze turned deadly, a cold, lethal intensity radiating from him that made the air in the room feel thin.
It was Joanna''s people who had taken Sean.
Sebastian summoned his private bodyguards.
They dragged a shivering Joanna out of the room and straight to a car.
Just as Joanna, trembling from the cold, thought Sebastian was going to let her go, he spoke in a t tone, "Drive to the coast. Take her to the coast and get rid of her. I don''t want to see her again."
Joanna''s pupils contracted in disbelief. She shrieked, "What? Sebastian, are you insane? You can''t just kill me! They''ll find out!"
Sebastian''s tall frame was seated in the driver''s seat. He said, "You didn''t seem too concerned about thew when you decided to have Sean killed."
Joanna froze. Horace had already sent her a message about Sean, but she absolutely could not admit to it.
If she admitted it, the connection between her and Sebastian would be severed for good.
Her voice trembled from the cold. "Sebastian, I don''t know what you''re
talking about. Why would I hurt
Sean Are you sure you''re not mistaken
"Is... is this because of Natalie? Is she making you do this to me?"
Sebastianughed, a sound devoid of humor. "What does this have to do with Natalie?"
Joanna''s eyes darted around. She was so used to ming Natalie that she had forgotten Sebastian no longer believed her.
With Sebastian''s cold, ruthless methods, he would surely dispose of her in the ocean without anyone knowing.
No, she couldn''t die!
"Sebastian, I know you''re worried about Sean, but you can''t pin this on me! Why would I want to kill Sean?"
Sebastian''s face was grim as he expertly maneuvered the steering wheel leaving the underground garage. "Because he overheard something he shouldn''t have."
Joanna was speechless.
That was exactly it. Damn it. That bastard Sean had actually left evidence for Sebastian.
Joanna quickly shook her head, trying to deny it. "Sebastian, it''s not like that! It has nothing to do with me! Please, let me go!"
But no matter what she said, Sebastian refused to engage with her further.

Meanwhile, the ambnce had just passed an intersection when it got stuck in the middle of the road.
There had been an ident up ahead.
Even with the ambnce''s siren ring, there was nothing the other drivers could do to move their cars.
All threenes were blocked, and the ambnce was trapped in the middle, unable to get out.
It was warm inside the ambnce, so it wasn''t too cold.
Susan''s body temperature was gradually returning to normal.
The doctor looked at Natalie and reassured her, "Miss, try not to worry too much, Your friend''s temperature is rising. Her life is not in danger. The first aid you administered earlier saved her life."
