True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 100 My Sassy Girlfriend

Joey scowled, his voice gruff. "I don't care who his girlfriend is. We broke up ages ago."

"I sent you the video. Watch it, but don't get fooled. Late affection means nothing."

Joey quickly opened the video.

Sebastian, dressed in a black suit, sat at a desk being interviewed. The start was all about economic stuff.

Towards the end, the host asked, "A lot of people are curious about the injury on Mr. Winters' head. Can you tell us what happened?"

Sebastian looked at the camera, calm and collected. "I made her mad, and she hit me in a moment of desperation."

The host, excited, asked, "Mr. Winters, can you tell us who she is?"

Sebastian's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "I haven't won her over yet, so I can't say much. If I say too much, she'll get mad and throw a fit when I get back."

He said it with a mix of charm and affection, his eyes full of tenderness.

It was like their bad past never happened.

These scenes were clips from the interview but got edited and posted on Twitter.

The video quickly went viral.

Sebastian wasn't a celebrity, but he was as popular as one.

Now, it was out that he had a girlfriend, and he hadn't won her over yet.

The kicker was that the woman was pretty wild.

Netizens were shocked.

Who was Sebastian? He was the heir to the Winters family, a big shot in City B.

Countless women were dying to be with him.

Now, someone actually rejected him and even hit him.

The whole internet was hunting for this wild girlfriend, not appreciating such a good man and even hitting him.

The more Joey read the comments, the angrier she got.

She knew this was Sebastian's plan.

He wanted to force her to come back using this method.

All morning, Joey's phone kept buzzing.

Calls, Facebook voice messages, and Twitter DMs, all asking if she was the wild girlfriend.

Joey bit her lip in frustration and opened her social media.

Meanwhile...

Sebastian got a report from Dominic early in the morning, saying his interview had gone viral.

Now there were tons of online stories about him and the wild girlfriend, with all sorts of crazy plots.

Sebastian took Dominic's phone and skimmed through it.

He looked at Dominic, surprised. "Why hasn't anyone guessed that the girl is Joey?"

Dominic, knowing Sebastian's plan, felt satisfied seeing his disappointed face.

Dominic bluntly said, "Mr. Winters, Ms. Blackwood immediately posted on Twitter to clarify. She said she has never had a boyfriend and is currently looking for love."

Hearing this, Sebastian's smile froze.

He quickly took out his phone and opened Joey's Twitter.

He thought, 'Never had a boyfriend? Then what were those three years we spent together? And what does "currently looking for love" mean? Is she in such a hurry to find a new boyfriend to avoid suspicion about her past with me?' Sebastian sat in his chair, staring at Joey's Twitter for a long time.

Joey, with her stunning looks even in the entertainment industry, and her brilliant performance in the courtroom, had gained a large following.

She had fans of both genders.

They were all calling her "wifey" in the comments.

Seeing those comments, Sebastian was so mad he almost lost it.

She was his girlfriend, and he had never called her "wifey."

He opened his long-unused Twitter account and posted a message.

And tagged @Joey.

[I was wrong]

Just three simple words, but they carried a lot of weight.

The heir to the Winters family publicly apologized.

Connecting this to the video, people quickly realized that the girl Sebastian was pursuing was Joey.

The internet went wild.

Soon, videos of Sebastian and Joey at various events together surfaced.

The internet was thrilled with this good-looking couple.

Various animated videos and short clips about them quickly spread online.

"Mr. Winters, stop chasing, Secretary Blackwood has resigned."

"Mr. Winters, why are you crying over Secretary Blackwood's resignation?"

"The arrogant CEO and his wild secretary."

Joey was busy all day and got off work very late.

When she turned on her phone, she was overwhelmed by the flood of messages.

She glanced at them and was furious.

Just then, Sebastian called.

Joey answered directly. "Sebastian, what do you want?"

"I'm apologizing to you," he said confidently.

This was the first time Joey had begged him since their breakup.

But she was begging him to leave her alone.

Sebastian's eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse. "Joey, can we start over? I promise I'll never let you suffer again. I'll love you properly, okay?"

His tone was more humble than ever, afraid of hurting Joey again.

Joey smiled bitterly. "Sebastian, start over with what? Your casual flings without love?"

"No, a life that includes both love and sex. I'm serious this time. If you're willing, we can get married anytime."

He was clearer than ever that he wanted Joey and couldn't live without her.

Although he still feared marriage, he would do anything to satisfy Joey if she wanted it.

Joey's eyes welled up, her voice hoarse. "But I don't want to, Sebastian. The rift between us can't be mended with a few apologies. You'll never understand the pain you caused me when you ignored me in my loneliest and most helpless moments."

"I just want to focus on my career now, not on a relationship. If you think you were satisfied with our three years together, please let go. I don't want to waste time and energy arguing with you."

With that, she hung up and blocked all of Sebastian's contacts.

She looked up at the starry sky, her heart filled with indescribable bitterness.

She thought, 'Why should I forgive him just because he said sorry? Why should I agree to be with him just because he wants to? What about the pain I suffered?'

Joey composed herself and returned to the office.

Julian happened to be coming out with something. Seeing her upset face, he immediately asked with concern, "Is he bothering you again?"

Joey smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Let's go. Maxwell is waiting downstairs. He must be hungry by now."

The three of them went to a nearby restaurant.

The restaurant was still full even at 10 PM.

Joey ordered a few dishes, joked with Maxwell, and then went to the restroom alone.

As soon as she entered, a shadow appeared before her.

Her mouth was immediately covered, and a pungent smell from the cloth made her lose consciousness almost instantly.
