My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1522

I pursed my lips. "Why is Sebastian still thinking about the sandalwood box? Even if the items in the box had some value, it is not much. Why is Sebastian so obsessed with it?"

"The oil plants in Eastern Europe have been affected by the pandemic this year. The Milton family is in the oil industry and now is a good time to buy from the Eastern European oil plants at a low price. However, the Milton family doesn't have a legal agreement. An agreement might not seem significant. But in Eastern Europe, they only sell to companies who have a legal and valid agreement. The Milton family did not invest much in the industry over the years so a contract is dispensable to them. But now, if he were to buy oil in bulk, he had to get his hands on a contract. Moreover, Sebastian didn't get any benefits in Oakland. Oil is the fastest way to bring profits to the Milton family at present, so it's inevitable that he would ask you for that box."

Hearing his words, I was astonished and asked uncertainly, "Then, should I give the box to him?" If Sebastian came for the box, I might not be able to secure and keep it safe.

After all, when I came back from Myanway, I

promised to give the box to Sebastian. But when I gave it to him later, Hendrix had switched out the box for a counterfeit one.

Hendrix was at a loss for words. After a long time, he answered, "From our point of view, I don't want you to give the box to him. After all, Sebastian is a deceitful crook. He wants the business in Oakland badly. He is entangled in the Milton family's business now, so he has no time to come for me. No one can guarantee that he will not continue to attack me after the Milton family's problems are resolved."

That was true.

After a pause, he explained, "The Milton family is a domestic company. If they manage to buy oil at a low price, there will be enough supply for domestic oil, which is a good thing for everyone. With so much oil, it means that the price will be reduced. In a sense, it's not a bad news."
