True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 70 Suspected Identity

Joey spat out those words and turned to leave.

Sebastian watched her walk away, fists clenched tight.

Just then, Isabella stepped out.

Seeing Sebastian's dark expression, she burst into tears.

"Sebastian, I didn't mean to frame Joey. When I saw you with her, I lost control and threw coffee at her.

"You know when my illness flares up, I can't control myself.

"I was afraid you'd leave me if you found out, so I asked Mrs. Winters to delete the video.

"Sebastian, please don't blame me. I did it because I love you so much. Seeing you with someone else made me lose control."

She cried pitifully as she spoke.

Daphne rushed over to comfort her, "Isabella, stop crying. You'll have another episode. Sebastian, you and Isabella grew up together and were once engaged. Isabella always saw you as her husband, so when she saw you with Secretary Blackwood, she lost it. Don't blame her."

Sebastian took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took a few puffs, his voice cold: "What did you say to Joey that day?"

Isabella saw the cold look in his eyes and shivered.

She stammered, "I didn't say much, just that Joey loves kids so much, why would she abort her child with you."

"And?"

"Then she said a child is only loved if born with someone she loves. Having a child with someone she doesn't love would be a burden, so she chose not to."

Sebastian suddenly leaned in, eyes dark and menacing.

"I'm giving you one more chance. If I find out you're lying, don't expect me to heed the elders' pleas on your behalf!"

With that, he got into the car without looking back.

Isabella watched his resolute back, stomping her foot in anger.

"Joey, I will never let Sebastian love you. You don't deserve him!"

Dominic saw his boss's gloomy face but still dared to speak up while looking in the rearview mirror.

"Mr. Winters, you almost got bitten by a stray dog while searching for Dennis, and you haven't slept for a whole day. Why don't you tell Ms. Blackwood about this?"

Sebastian leaned back in his seat, half-closing his eyes, "Do you think she'd listen?"

"Even if she won't listen, you should still tell her. Think about it, Ms. Blackwood is a girl. She was humiliated in front of so many people with that recording, and then questioned by the opposing lawyer about your relationship. It's good enough that she's just mad at you.

"If it were my girlfriend, she'd skin me alive.

"If you want to be with Ms. Blackwood, you need to let her know how much you care about her and that those things you said before were just jokes.

"Otherwise, she won't forgive you."

Sebastian's eyes glinted with light.

"Why should I bow to her? Isn't she the same to me? I used to think she loved me so much, but it turns out it was all fake."

Dominic was sweating with anxiety, "Mr. Winters, are you really going to dismiss all the good things Ms. Blackwood did for you just because of one drunken comment? Isn't that a bit unfair?

"You asked me to investigate the men around her, and none of them have 'nine' in their names.

"Maybe she was just saying it out of anger to provoke you. How can you take it seriously?

"When it comes to making up with your wife, money is important, but so are words. If you don't talk to her, the misunderstanding will only deepen, and when Ms. Blackwood really leaves, you'll regret it." Dominic was so focused on helping Sebastian win back his wife that he forgot to watch the traffic lights. He ran a red light and almost hit a cyclist. He broke out in a cold sweat from the scare.

Sebastian shot him a glance and said coldly, "Focus. I have my own plans."

"Yes, sir."

"Have you found that woman?"

"Not yet. She used to be called Angie Blackwood. If we haven't found her by now, she probably changed her name."

"Keep looking. Don't let her get close to Joey."

Sebastian was sure that Joey's disappearance for over a year had something to do with this woman.

That night, Sebastian was called back to the Old Mansion by several phone calls from his mother. As soon as they met, Cordelia threw a stack of documents at him and coldly questioned, "You took the solar project from me for Joey, fine. But why did you take the other projects too? Are you trying to monopolize power and make all the decisions yourself?"

"Just because I hurt Joey? You like her that much? What's so great about her that you're so obsessed, going against me so many times? Don't forget what kind of woman her mother was. Our Winters Family will never let such a woman in." Sebastian crossed his long legs, biting a cigarette and taking deep drags. His deep eyes flickered with a dim light.

"I told you, if you hurt her or the Blackwood Family again, I won't let you off easily. You didn't take my words seriously and acted on your own. Next week, Dad and my sister will be back. You should take the time to work on your relationship with him, or you might lose your position too."

"Sebastian, I'm your mother. How could I have a son who wishes for us to divorce?"

Sebastian's face darkened, "If it weren't for Dad promising Grandma not to leave you, I think you would have divorced long ago. My sister and I wouldn't have had to watch you two fight every day, affecting our own marriages." Cordelia, furious, pushed the coffee off the table, pointing at Sebastian and cursing, "Sebastian, you and your dad, and everyone in the Winters Family are together. You all want to kick me out of this house. Don't forget, if it weren't for your grandma saving your dad, the Winters Family would have no heirs."

She spoke through gritted teeth, filled with righteous indignation. It was as if the person in front of her wasn't her son.

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.

"If Sebastian listens to you, the Winters Family will have no heirs!"

Aurora Winters hurriedly walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the mess on the floor with disdain. Seeing her, Cordelia immediately toned down her arrogance. Her voice softened a bit.

"Mom, I was just too angry and said the wrong thing. Please don't be mad."

"Did you say the wrong thing, or is that what you truly think? Does the Winters Family having no heirs benefit you? You know Isabella can't have children, yet you still want to pair her with Sebastian. Don't think I don't know what you did to Joey."

Aurora was the most authoritative in the family, even Sebastian feared her a bit. Cordelia immediately tried to placate her: "Mom, Connie and I arranged Sebastian and Isabella's engagement. Even though Connie is gone, we can't break the engagement."

"I doubt if she's truly Connie's child. Her character is so different from her mother's. It's possible that Connie's child was switched during the car accident."
