True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 244 Joyce's Disappearance

The attendant helping Joyce try on wedding dresses was lying on the ground, and Joyce was nowhere to be seen.

Sebastian immediately called Joyce, but the phone indicated it was turned off. His fingers turned white as he gripped the phone, and his eyes were filled with a murderous red hue.

He never expected that the mastermind behind the scenes would find the bridal shop. His subordinates guarded the house strictly, not even a fly could get in, and he had bodyguards protecting him during the drive. He thought this would be foolproof.

But Sebastian still underestimated the opponent's ability; they managed to find the place where Sebastian had the wedding dress custom-made. Sebastian immediately called Dominic. "Joyce is missing, bring them in."

In less than ten seconds, a dozen bodyguards rushed into the fitting room to search. Suddenly someone shouted, "Mr. Winters, there's a hidden passage behind this partition. Mrs. Winters must have been drugged and taken away through here."

Sebastian said, "Hurry up and chase them."

The group of people rushed into the secret passage one after another.

This bridal shop was located on the busiest commercial street in City B, with malls on both sides. The secret passage twisted and turned, leading to the underground parking lot of a mall.

Standing in the parking lot, watching the cars coming and going, Sebastian clenched his fist tightly. He knew Joyce had already been taken away in a car.

The thought of her being pregnant and possibly losing the baby in a struggle with the kidnappers made Sebastian feel much pain.

His voice was like a demon emerging from hell, fierce and brutal. "Isabella, if you dare to harm Joyce, I will tear you to pieces!"

Soon, the Winters Family, Taylor Family, Vale Family, and Blackwood Family formed a search team. Plus, there was a detective named Leonard.

Everyone gathered at the Winters Mansion, their faces showing undisguised tension.

"Mr. Winters, Mrs. Winters' phone tracking signal stopped in the mall's underground parking lot. Our people found it in a trash can," A subordinate said.

Sebastian stood in the living room with a grim face, his fists clenched tightly. Cold sweat had soaked through his shirt, keeping his mind clear with its icy touch.

He kept telling himself not to panic and to stay rational. Joyce and her baby were still waiting for him to save them.

Sebastian asked coldly, "The prison is heavily guarded. Where did Isabella get the knife to commit suicide? There must be someone helping her."

Everyone understood immediately.

Theodore responded quickly, "I've already sent people to track my father's whereabouts to see if he met with Isabella."

Hearing this, Sebastian's cold eyes turned to him. His voice was hoarse. "If he really is involved, don't plead for him with me!"

Theodore frowned and nodded. "He'll answer for his actions."

At this moment, Leonard suddenly spoke up, "We've found something. Joyce was taken into a white van, but the license plate was covered."

Sebastian immediately rushed over to look at the computer screen. When he saw Joyce in a white wedding dress being carried on someone's shoulder, he couldn't help but shout, "Joyce." The image was very clear, showing Joyce in a state of unconsciousness. She didn't struggle at all.

The wedding dress, which cost millions of dollars to custom-make, was still intact on Joyce.

Sebastian closed his eyes in pain. He had imagined many times what Joyce would look like in that wedding dress. He also fantasized about whether he would be mesmerized by her appearance. Instead, he was met with the gut-wrenching reality of her abduction.

Staring at the video, he said in a deep voice, "They will definitely switch cars halfway. Track all traffic cameras and look for any traces."

Time passed by the minute, and just when they found a clue, it was quickly interrupted. This happened several times.

Sebastian was so angry that the veins on his forehead were about to burst. He knew that the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for Joyce and her baby.

Since Isabella had escaped from prison, she had no intention of going back alive. She must have found Joyce with the intention of dying together.

Thinking of this, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his chest, almost suffocating him. He kept typing on the computer keyboard, looking for any clues.

When Joyce woke up, she found herself lying on a ship's deck, her hands and feet tied. The sound of the sea waves hitting the ship's hull kept ringing in her ears. She immediately realized she had been kidnapped.

She remembered that after putting on the wedding dress, she was overwhelmed by its beauty when suddenly someone covered her mouth, and a pungent smell filled her lungs. She lost consciousness instantly. She didn't even see the face of the person who kidnapped her.

The sound of the waves kept ringing in her ears, and Joyce's fear of the deep sea slowly began to take over her body. She immediately told herself not to panic, that she had to survive, that Sebastian was still waiting to marry her, and that she had their baby in her belly. She couldn't let the baby get hurt.

Joyce slowly moved her body. She saw a sharp piece of metal not far away, which could be used to cut the rope on her hands. She slowly wriggled towards it.

She didn't dare make too much noise, fearing she would alert the kidnappers. She also didn't dare use too much force, afraid of hurting the baby. Bit by bit, she wriggled.

Joyce used all her strength and finally reached the metal piece. It took so long and was so exhausting that she was drenched in sweat.

The once beautiful white wedding dress was now tattered and dirty. She didn't have time to think about it and sat by the metal piece, gently rubbing her wrists against it.

At this moment, she heard the sound of a door opening. Frightened, she immediately stopped moving.

She thought it would be a fierce kidnapper coming in, but to her surprise, it was a familiar face.

Isabella, dressed in black, stood at the door, her thin, dark face filled with gloom. She smiled coldly. "Joyce, we meet again."

Joyce looked at her in shock. "Isabella? How did you get out?"

Isabella walked over to her, squatted down slowly, and grabbed her by the neck. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you ask? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone to prison. Joyce, you didn't expect this, did you? After all our fights, I'm the one who won in the end."

She tilted her head back and laughed triumphantly.

When Joyce saw that the kidnapper was Isabella, she knew she was in a life-or-death situation. Since Isabella dared to escape from prison, it meant she was ready to die.

In other words, this was the mysterious person's last taking advantage of Isabella. The price was Isabella's life.

Joyce tried to stay calm. She looked at Isabella and tried to persuade her, "Isabella, don't be fooled by others. You're being used. They don't care about you. If you let me go, I promise to give you a way out. I will even defend you in court to get your sentence reduced."

Hearing this, Isabella sneered. "Joyce, You think you can buy your way out of this? Dream on! I won't let you marry him! I won't let you live!"

With that, she grabbed Joyce's hair and slammed her head onto the ground.

Isabella said viciously, "Joyce, you bitch, if I can't be the daughter of the Vale Family, neither can you!"
