True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 98 Fame from a Single Battle

At 9 AM, in the president's office of Winters Group.

The lights and cameras were set up. The host nervously asked, "Mr. Winters, would you like to wear a hat and put on some makeup? It might look better on camera."

Sebastian shot him a cold glance. "Do you think I'm ugly?"

The host started sweating. "No, Mr. Winters, you're the most handsome man in all of City B. It's just that the bandage on your head is a bit noticeable. Our theme for this episode is economic recovery after the pandemic, and your look is a bit... rugged."

Sebastian's eyes darkened. "I got this from domestic violence because I didn't have time for my girlfriend due to economic recovery. Got a problem with that?" Everyone on set was stunned.

They had just learned some shocking news.

The heir of the Winters family had a girlfriend, and she was fierce enough to commit domestic violence against him.

My God!

This news would be explosive in the entertainment industry.

The director immediately laughed and said, "That's not a problem at all. It fits perfectly with our episode's content. I didn't expect Mr. Winters to be so relatable."

He quickly pulled the host aside and said, "Let's change the topic of discussion. I guarantee this episode will be famous."

Meanwhile...

Today was Joey's first day in court, and she was a bit nervous.

After all, what she had learned was all theoretical, and she had never been on a real battlefield.

Julian smiled and patted her head. "Don't be nervous. Just show the confidence you had when you debated in school, and you'll be fine."

Joey nodded. "Thanks, Julian. I'll head over now."

This case was Elaine's plagiarism case.

The opposing designer was once a model and now a social media influencer with millions of followers.

She not only had a huge fan base supporting her but also hired City B's top talk show host, Mr. Simon.

No one thought Elaine would win this case.

The case had caused a huge stir online, so the trial was being live-streamed.

Joey sat quietly at the lawyer's table, but her palms were sweaty.

Elaine was the mayoress, and many people wanted to represent her, but she chose Joey.

Joey knew the reason behind this.

In this industry, reputation mattered. No matter how capable you were, without a reputation, no one would hire you.

This was an important opportunity Julian had secured for her, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.

Joey took a deep breath, hiding her inner anxiety, and listened carefully to the opposing lawyer's arguments.

After several rounds of debate, Joey grew more and more confident. In the end, with her excellent eloquence and ample evidence, she won the case.

When the judge read the closing statement, Joey's eyes glistened with tears.

She had succeeded.

She had successfully stepped into the legal world.

From now on, this would be her main battlefield, and this solemn and mysterious attire would be her armor.

She excitedly accepted interviews from reporters.

Joey became famous overnight.

The entire legal community was abuzz and even trended on social media.

Joey was surrounded by people as she left the courthouse, accompanied by alumni from the same industry.

Several people even gave her flowers and invited her to dinner, which she accepted without hesitation.

Sebastian, who had been sitting in the car, saw this scene and gritted his teeth.

As a fellow man, he immediately saw through the intentions of those men.

Joey was so naive she couldn't see their obvious intentions.

Sebastian was about to tell Dominic to drive over with the flowers he had prepared when he saw Maxwell driving Joey's BMW over. The car blocked his way.

Maxwell, wearing sunglasses, whistled at him and then said with a grin, "Sorry, buddy, it's gonna rain. I'm in a hurry to pick up my goddess."

He opened a black umbrella and ran towards Joey.

Sebastian's forehead veins bulged in anger.

Dominic, oblivious to Sebastian's rage, pointed at the car and said, "Mr. Winters, isn't that Maxwell? What does he mean by picking up his goddess? Are he and Ms. Blackwood living together?" He looked at the very displeased Sebastian in the rearview mirror with wide eyes.

Sebastian's cold eyes swept over him mercilessly, his voice as cold as ice water. "If you don't speak, no one will care."

Dominic immediately fell silent in fear.

The rain outside started to fall more heavily.

It splashed against the car window, creating a spray of water.

Sebastian saw Joey walking over and immediately got out of the car with the flowers. Just as he was about to walk towards Joey, he was pushed aside by the crowd surrounding her. Joey looked up and saw the man standing in the rain with a bouquet of flowers.

They looked at each other through the rain. Although they were only a few steps apart, Joey felt as if they were a world apart.

She showed no extra expression. After greeting her alumni, she got into the car.

Joey didn't spare Sebastian a single glance.

Watching Joey's car drive away, Sebastian stood alone in the rain.

His heart ached.

The wound on his head also throbbed with pain.

Joey had started to ignore his existence.

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! Even seeing him in the rain, she didn't come over to check on him.

This wasn't the Joey who used to have only him in her heart.

At that moment, Dominic ran over with an umbrella. "Mr. Winters, the rain is getting heavier. You should get in the car, or your wound will get infected."

After a long time, Sebastian finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "What happens if the wound gets infected?"

"If it gets infected, you'll get a fever. Mr. Winters, we should go home and change the dressing now." Sebastian raised an eyebrow and looked at him with cold eyes. "You go back first. I want to walk alone."

Without waiting for Dominic to react, he walked into the rain alone.

No matter how Dominic tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.

At 9 PM, Joey's phone rang.

It was the housekeeper from Sebastian's home.

This person had always been kind to her, so Joey had no reason not to answer. "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Ms. Blackwood, Mr. Winters has a fever of 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit. He won't take medicine or see a doctor. He's waiting for you to come and change his dressing." Joey frowned in anger. "Call Dominic or Mr. Cross. They're better than me."

"Ms. Blackwood, Mr. Winters said he won't let anyone but you touch him."

"Then let him suffer with his fever."

She hung up the phone immediately.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again.

Joey answered directly, "Tell Sebastian I'm not a doctor or his personal nurse. His life or death has nothing to do with me. Stop calling me."

Before the housekeeper could speak, she was about to hang up.

But then she heard Sebastian's low, hoarse voice. "Joey, if I make our relationship public, will you come back to me?"
