True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 327 Timely Rescue

Elise's voice was loud and full of emotion, her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear.

When Kevin heard this, his fierce eyes narrowed a bit, and he gripped the wheelchair armrest tightly. He was quietly waiting for the drama to unfold.

Joyce was also clenching her fists nervously. She finally got what Kevin was up to.

He wanted to use this situation to get Sebastian criticized and insulted, testing if Elise was really insane or just faking it.

If he found out she was pretending, he'd know Elise had her memory back and knew he was behind everything.

And Leonard and Sebastian had been playing along with him all this time.

If that was true, Randall would never be rescued, and Bianca would stay locked up.

Sebastian's two-year undercover plan would be totally wrecked.

The Winters Group would fall into Kevin's hands.

The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.

Everyone was looking at Elise, thinking she was about to spill the truth.

Then, Elise's scared voice came from the stage.

She pointed at Sebastian and stammered, "He's not an illegitimate child, he's sent by President Lincoln to arrest me. Don't come for me, Blackbeard is Captain Jack, not me, it has nothing to do with me, don't come for me." Elise didn't care about her image, stumbling and running around the stage.

Her once perfect makeup was instantly ruined.

The beautiful hem of her dress was torn open with a big rip.

Her crazed appearance made people feel heartbroken.

Leonard quickly went up to hold her and comfort her, "Mom, it's okay, I'll take you to rest."

Elise struggled desperately in his arms, still shouting, "Don't come for me, it wasn't me, don't come for me, it wasn't me."

With her outburst, everyone who had been pointing fingers at Sebastian turned their attention to her.

The scene turned into chaos.

The well-planned anniversary celebration became a joke among the guests.

Sebastian clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

He knew Elise was doing all this for him because she didn't want to see him criticized.

This kind of silent pain made it hard for him to breathe.

For two years, this pain had been with him.

Whenever he thought of Joyce, Paxon, and his family, he wanted to take a gun and kill Kevin.

But if he did that, everyone would die with Kevin.

Sebastian could only pretend to be calm as he watched Elise being taken away.

A silence fell over the scene.

He walked over to Leonard, his expression cold as he looked at him, "Did you invite me here just to watch your mother go crazy?"

Leonard grabbed his collar, glaring at him fiercely, "Sebastian, don't you know why my mom ended up like this?"

Sebastian sneered, "You want to say it's all Cordelia's fault, right? Then why don't you go to prison and take revenge on her, but come to me? What does it have to do with me?"

"Do you think that just because you became the head of the Winters Family, you can deal with me? Don't forget it, I earned half of the Winters Family's wealth, and I will take back what belongs to me sooner or later!" With that, he shoved Leonard away and turned to leave.

In noble families, it was pretty common for brothers to fight for power.

Soon enough, the incident was forgotten.

The banquet continued smoothly.

Kevin sat in his wheelchair, quietly observing everything, a smug smile creeping onto his lips.

He rolled his wheelchair over to Joyce, looking at her with a gentle expression, "Ms. Blackwood, they say you are extremely smart and have a unique perspective on things. What do you think of today's events?"

Joyce casually sipped her drink, a smile playing on her lips, "Mr. Guise, are you asking me to speak the truth?"

"Leo is my nephew and he's also your good friend since childhood. You're not outsider, so why not speak frankly?"

"Alright, then I'll be straightforward. You orchestrated this whole thing to let everyone know that Sebastian is an illegitimate child and ruin his reputation, didn't you?"

"But Mr. Guise, have you ever thought that an illegitimate child is still better than an adopted child? At least he has the Winters Family's blood in him, while you, Mr. Guise, are Randall Guise's adopted son, yet you control the entire Guise Family. Do you have the right to do so?"

"By the rules, shouldn't Elise inherit? If she's ill, then it should be Leonard. It shouldn't be you, an outsider. How do you have the nerve to accuse others?"

Her tone was calm, neither happy nor angry, her face showing no emotion.

Yet every word was like a knife stabbing into Kevin's heart.

Kevin had always been most sensitive about being called an adopted son and being told he had no right to control the Guise Family.

He tightly gripped the wheelchair armrest, forcibly suppressing his anger.

Kevin's face showed a faint smile, "Are you supporting Sebastian? He ruined your family, and you still haven't forgotten him?"

Joyce smiled, "I'm a lawyer. I stand for fairness and justice, no matter who it is."

"Is that really the case? If you've truly forgotten him, why do you have so many suitors around you, yet you don't fancy any of them, not even Leonard? Aren't you waiting for Sebastian to come back for you?" His seemingly gentle eyes were filled with a wolf-like ferocity.

He was pressing her hard, wanting to see if Joyce and Sebastian still had feelings for each other.

So he could make his next move.

Joyce took a sip of her drink, her expression unchanged, "Mr. Guise, aren't you overstepping? It's none of your business. Don't you think that's crossing the line?"

"Am I overstepping, or are you unwilling to admit that you still have feelings for Sebastian, which is why you haven't accepted any other man? Am I right?" Facing Kevin's aggressive questioning, Joyce bit her lip hard.

She knew Kevin had invited her here to test her feelings for Sebastian.

But she had indeed rejected many people over the past two years, making those people suspect that she still had feelings for Sebastian.

No matter how she explained today, it would seem weak.

It would make Kevin suspicious.

Just as she hesitated, a familiar male voice came from behind her.

"Someone as outstanding as Ms. Blackwood can't be won easily."
