True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 331 Sebastian's Identity

Joyce quickly let go of Ryan's hand and rushed over to grab Benjamin's. "Dad, can you hear me? If you can, move your fingers." Benjamin seemed to get what she was saying, and his fingers twitched a bit.

Joyce's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Dad, you have to wake up. There's so much that needs your decision. The Blackwood Family found your child, but I don't know if I should hand over your assets to her. Only you can tell me what to do." At her words, Benjamin's eyelids trembled slightly again.

Ryan, standing behind, saw Joyce's distress and felt a pang of heartache.

But he kept a calm smile on his face. "Believe it or not, I've been a good luck charm since I was a kid. As soon as I showed up, your dad started waking up. Ms. Blackwood, don't you think you owe me one?" Joyce eyed him suspiciously. "Did you say something to him?"

Benjamin used to only move his fingers occasionally, but now his eyelids trembled, and he seemed to understand her.

Ryan grinned, "If you don't believe me, there are security cameras here. You can check for yourself."

Seeing his honesty, Joyce relaxed a bit. "I'll thank you properly when I have time."

"Alright, it's a deal. Look over these documents first, and once you get them, we can talk about the next steps."

Ryan stood up, packed the lunch boxes on the table, and raised an eyebrow at Joyce. "Looks like you enjoyed my cooking. I'll bring you food often. I'm heading out now."

He smiled at Joyce and walked out the door.

As soon as he got in the car, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Leonard's voice came through the line. "So, did Joyce agree?"

Ryan's calm expression turned into one of clear pain.

His voice also changed back to its original tone. "Just as we thought, Joyce wants to dig into those conglomerates. She knows I approached her with a motive, but she still agreed." Leonard was quiet for a moment. "Joyce has always been like that. Once she sets her mind on something, she sticks to it. Sebastian, are you really not going to tell her who you are?"

Sebastian rubbed his brow in frustration. "When we split up, she said once we parted, there was no going back. I'm scared if I tell her the truth, it'll mess up our whole plan."

"This way, I can protect her by using a different identity, which would be safer."

Leonard sighed, "You two are so perfect for each other, but fate is cruel. Clearly in love, but you can't be together. Once this is over, you can bring Joyce and Paxon back, and your family can be whole again."

A look of hope crossed Sebastian's face. It was the only thing keeping him going.

He was quiet for a bit, then asked, "Kevin hasn't suspected anything about Mom, right?"

"No, he's too busy with the Emberleaf City project. The hit we gave him this time is enough to keep him occupied for a while."

Sebastian nodded. "While he's busy with that, find out where Grandpa is being held. If we can rescue him, we won't be so cornered."

"I've already got people looking into it. What's the deal with Bianca? Weren't they supposed to let her go now that two years have passed without finding any evidence?"

Sebastian chuckled, "It's not that simple. Snowpeakia Country wants my chip technology. If I give them the basic data, they'll release Bianca right away. But that tech took me ten years to develop. No way I'm handing it over for free. We need to be smart about this."

They hashed out their next steps and then hung up.

He didn't dare get out of the car, just parked a distance away and watched quietly.

Seeing the yard in ruins, his heart ached.

So many beautiful memories of him and Joyce were here.

They fell in love here and waited for a new life together here.

Everything was perfect, but it didn't last.

Reality hit them hard.

Thinking back to two years ago, Sebastian felt a tightness in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took deep drags.

He looked at the dilapidated yard, then lowered his eyes to the photos of Joyce and Paxon on his phone, murmuring, "Joyce, Paxon, just hang in there a bit longer. I'll bring you home soon." The next day.

Joyce had just fallen asleep when a rapid knocking on the door woke her up.

She got out of bed, walked over to open the door, and was greeted by Marissa's beaming face.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.com is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Marissa glanced inside and said, "Joyce, I'm here to take Dad home."

Joyce's expression immediately turned cold, "You can't take him. He's about to wake up."

Marissa chuckled, "He's been in a coma for two years. The doctors said there's no chance of him waking up. What are you still holding on to? Do you have to spend all his money to feel at ease?" Joyce glared at her coldly, "Even if you really are Dad's biological daughter, I won't let you take him. Besides, you might not be."

"Joyce, you're too stubborn. It's already confirmed that I'm Angie's biological daughter. What are you still holding on to?"

"I'm a lawyer. I rely on evidence for everything. Until I see the paternity test report between you and my dad, I won't believe anyone." Marissa stomped her foot in anger, "Fine, just wait. Once I get the report, let's see what you have to say."

As the two argued, Tristan arrived with the report.

The paternity test was done under the witness of all three parties, so the results needed to be opened together.

Marissa couldn't wait, "Tristan, open it and show Joyce. She still doesn't want to acknowledge my identity."

Tristan sneered, "Whether she acknowledges it or not doesn't matter. She cannot monopolize Uncle Benjamin's estate."

He quickly opened the report.

When he saw the words on it, his eyes widened and he kept muttering, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Marissa sensed something was wrong and immediately snatched the report. When she saw the words "not a biological relationship," she was stunned.

She took several steps back, dazed and said, "How is this possible? I'm Angie's daughter. Why am I not Benjamin's daughter?"
