True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 34 I'll Make It Up to You

Sebastian's deep gaze swept back and forth on Joey, as if trying to find the emotion he wanted to see on her face.

But for the past half day, he hadn't seen what he wanted to see.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Bending down, he whispered in Joey's ear, "Why don't you prove it to her, whether I will or won't."

Although only the two of them could hear this sentence, Joey's ears instantly turned red.

She looked at Sebastian coldly, "Do you still believe her words over mine?"

"I won't if you find evidence to prove she didn't do it."

Joey sneered. Indeed, he was a scumbag. Once he was done using someone, he had no loyalty to anyone. He was still the same as before, unjustly accusing good people. Only Isabella's words were the truth to him.

Joey's lips curled slightly. "Then let's go through the proper procedures. Ten million is not a small amount, I won't let Macus unjustly bear this blame."

Isabella immediately smiled and said, "You must have misunderstood, Secretary Blackwood. I've already said that I won't pursue the matter against Miss Sinclair anymore. It ends here."

"The price of you not pursuing the matter is that my friend has to bear this accusation. You're publicly withdrawing the case, but in reality, you want to pin the blame on her. Isn't that right, Miss Vale?"

Isabella's eyes instantly narrowed when she heard this.

Aggrieved, she looked at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, that's not what I meant. As Miss Sinclair is a public figure, I just thought that it can't be good for her to be seen in a place like this for too long. I just wanted to withdraw the case. Why is Secretary Blackwood twisting my words like this?"

Sebastian saw Isabella pounce toward him and dodged to the side.

He casually embraced Joey and stood between them.

He whispered in Joey's ear, "Listen to me. This matter ends here. I'll take care of it."

Isabella had severe depression. If the matter was dragged out and Isabella had an episode, the car would be the least of their worries.

However, in Joey's eyes, Sebastian was protecting Isabella. Her cold eyes had a stubborn look to them. "No, I can't let..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Sebastian's slender fingers covered her mouth. He pressed his forehead against hers, their gazes locked in a flirtatious manner.

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll shut your mouth right here."

With that, Joey was too scared to speak.

Sebastian was a ruthless person. He always followed through with what he said.

Joey bit her lip and glared at him, her face full of defiance.

She could only watch quietly as Sebastian took a checkbook out of his pocket, wrote a check, and signed his name on it.

Then, he handed it to Isabella and said, "I hope this puts an end to the matter."

Isabella was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She stared blankly at the check, tears welling up in her eyes.

This wasn't the outcome she wanted. She wanted Sophia to go to jail and be hounded and cursed by her fans. She wanted Joey to have a falling out with Sebastian over her. But now, what did Sebastian's check mean to her?

Was it a clear sign that he was taking Joey's side?

Tears streamed down Isabella's cheeks. "Sebastian, you don't believe me either. I said I didn't need compensation. Why won't anyone believe me?"

Sebastian frowned at her. "Just buy a new car, even if you have to say it's from me."

He stuffed the check into Isabella's bag and told the waiting driver, "Take her back."

Sebastian settled the case.

Sophia was released without charges.

Sebastian tried to pull Joey out of the station, but she broke free.

Disappointment and defiance were clear on her delicate face. "Sebastian, this is the last time. If Isabella dares to provoke me again, I won't let her off so easily!" After saying that, she grabbed Sophia and walked away without looking back.

But after a few steps, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Joey, do you not even recognize your own mother?"
