Chapter 134 Jealousy
"""When Theodore started crying and complaining, Sebastian almost spilled the truth.
But he knew things were way more complicated.
If Theodore found out, he'd definitely get emotional about Joyce, which would put her in danger.
Sebastian asked calmly, """"Besides me, who else have you told?""""
Theodore shook his head. """"No one. I'm scared the bad guy will find out.""""
""""Good. Keep it that way. If your sister's alive, any slip-up could cost her life. Got it?""""
""""I get it. I just can't accept that the sister I've loved for years is actually my dad's mistress's kid. Maybe her mom even killed my mom.""""
Theodore's love for Isabella was now mixed with pain.
The sister he cherished turned out to be the daughter of an enemy. He thought his dad loved his mom, but it turns out he was having an affair.
What once made Theodore happy now caused him pain.
Sebastian patted his shoulder and asked, """"Is it Mandy?""""
""""No, I tested her and Isabella's DNA. They're not related.""""
'Mandy Vale is Darren's current wife. If it's not her, then who?' Suddenly, Angie came to Sebastian's mind.
If Joyce was really the Vale family heiress, Angie was the most suspicious.
Over twenty years ago, the Blackwood Family was just wealthy, not elite. Angie might have swapped the kids for her daughter's future.
Thinking this, Sebastian messaged Dominic to test Angie and Isabella's DNA.
Just then, Alexander called. He cheerfully said, """"Sebastian, aren't you coming to Xavier's wedding? If you don't hurry, you'll miss the show.""""
Xavier Walker was in their social circle, but Sebastian hated these events.
""""I'm not that free,"""" he replied coldly.
He was about to hang up when Alexander laughed. """"Don't you want to see if Joyce might have a new boyfriend?""""
""""What did you say?"""" Sebastian's heart tightened at the mention of Joyce.
Alexander laughed. """"You gave Julian his son and opened a racing club for Maxwell. You thought you got rid of all the men around Joyce, but now there's an even better guy. Do you think Joyce's been lucky in love lately?""""
He sent Sebastian a live video.
Seeing the video, Sebastian couldn't stay calm.
Joyce, as a bridesmaid, was singing with the groomsman.
The groomsman looked at her with deep affection.
Sebastian, being a man, knew what that look meant. This guy had deep feelings for Joyce.
He stood up and said coldly, """"Keep an eye on him. I'm coming over.""""
——
Joyce and the groomsman, Leonard Guise, sang a heartfelt song together. It was her favorite and the most romantic one she knew.
After they finished singing, the crowd erupted in applause. Leonard extended his hand, escorting Joyce off the stage.
His good looks and refined manners made many girls in the audience scream.
Leonard pulled out a chair for Joyce and took a piece of strawberry cake from the tray.
Just when Joyce thought he was going to eat it himself, Leonard surprised her by picking out the strawberries and handing it to her. """"Here, no more strawberries.""""
Joyce was stunned. She loved strawberry cake but never ate the strawberries. Only those close to her knew this.
She was puzzled. 'How does he know? Is it just a coincidence, or have we met before?'
Seeing her surprise, Leonard chuckled. """"The strawberries are sour. I thought you might not like them, so I took them out. Hope you don't mind.""""
Joyce smiled and shook her head. """"No, I don't like them either. Thanks.""""
She started eating the cake in small bites.
Watching her, Leonard's lips curved slightly. 'She's still such a foodie, eating like no one else is around. But why doesn't she remember me?'
He picked up a glass of wine, rubbing the rim with his thumb, eyes on Joyce.
Just then, Sophia ran over and grabbed Joyce. """"Joyce, stop eating. The bride's about to throw the bouquet. Come on!""""
Joyce didn't want to go, but Sophia dragged her into the crowd.
Amidst the cheers, the bride threw the bouquet.
Everyone watched as it flew towards Leonard in the last row, but a large hand blocked it.
Sebastian looked at Leonard with jealousy, a wild smile on his lips. With his block, the bouquet flew back into the air.
Leonard didn't get angry. He smiled and leaped up, rushing for the bouquet again.
The two men started a tug-of-war over the bouquet. Neither wanted the other to get it.
The scene became chaotic with the two handsome men fighting over the bouquet. The girls screamed.
While everyone focused on the bouquet, Isabella stood in the back, glaring at Joyce.
She knew why Sebastian was fighting for the bouquet. Gritting her teeth, she glanced at Joyce under the champagne tower, a malicious thought forming.
She mingled into the crowd and tripped a girl next to her. The girl fell, causing a domino effect.
The last one to fall was Joyce.
Sebastian, mid-jump, saw this and sensed something was wrong. """"Joyce!"""" he shouted.
But before he could finish, Joyce was knocked down, falling towards the 6.5-foot-high champagne tower."""
