True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 113 Wrongfully Imprisoned

Joey could hear the urgency in Dominic's voice.

She paused before replying, "Dominic, I've already broken up with him. You shouldn't be telling me this."

"Ms. Blackwood, please hear me out. The Winters Group's new J60 phone has dominated the American and European markets in under a month. This is a huge blow to Country F's Quantum Tech brand.

They took advantage of Mr. Winters being on a business trip to frame him. He's now accused of assaulting a female celebrity from Country F and is in prison. The Winters Group's stock plummeted this morning. Mrs. Blackwood, this case involves many company secrets. Mr. Winters wants you to help with the lawsuit."

Joey knew Dominic wasn't lying.

When the J60 phone was about to launch, Sebastian had anticipated potential framing.

Its release showed their technology was way ahead of the competition.

This was a major blow to some foreign phone brands.

They wouldn't let it slide and would try to stop him by any means.

She didn't expect them to use such a dirty tactic.

Joey's fingers turned pale as she held the phone.

She wanted to say he could replace another lawyer and that she didn't want any contact with Sebastian. But the words stuck in her throat.

This wasn't just Sebastian's problem or the Winters Group's issue. It involved national interests.

She couldn't refuse to help her fellow citizens and watch her country's brand get framed.

Joey calmed down and asked, "What did he say?"

Dominic felt relieved. "Mr. Winters said he was drunk, and the woman entered his room while he was asleep, but he didn't touch her. However, his bodily fluids were found in her, which is key to the case."

Joey's lips twitched.

She knew Sebastian well. He was never functional when drunk.

This was likely why Sebastian wanted her on the case.

He didn't want his privacy exposed.

Joey asked Dominic for some time because this case wasn't simple.

It was about foreign forces trying to suppress the J60's release, not wanting their phone brand to dominate the market.

She knocked on Julian's office door.

Seeing him on the phone, she intended to leave.

But Julian called out, "Joey, my father wants to talk to you."

Joey looked surprised.

Julian handed her the phone, looking serious. "It's about Sebastian being detained in Country F."

Joey took the phone and heard Jared's authoritative voice.

"Joey, I assume Sebastian has already contacted you. The Winters Group is our city's economic pillar, and the J60 phone is a national pride. We can't let those foreign villains succeed.

So please put aside personal grievances and help Sebastian win this case."

Jared was asking as Mayor, leaving Joey no reason to refuse.

She replied calmly, "I understand, Mr. Knight. I'll do my best."

"Good. If you need anything, our government will fully support you."

Due to the urgency, Joey booked a flight for that afternoon to Country F.

Seeing Sebastian in prison clothes, hands cuffed, Joey felt a pang in her chest.

In just a month, he looked much thinner.

His deep-set eyes were more sunken, and the wrinkles around them more pronounced.

She had never seen him so downtrodden.

Joey stood quietly, watching him walk towards her.

Sebastian's usually grim face showed a hint of a smile when he saw her.

His voice was hoarse. "Joey, thanks for taking my case."

Joey lowered her eyelashes, speaking in a businesslike manner, "Mr. Knight commissioned me to be your attorney. Let's discuss the case."

She took out a recorder, ready to start.

But then she heard Sebastian's broken voice.

"Joey, it's been a month. How have you been? Have you thought about me when you couldn't sleep?"

"Joey, I think about you every day. I miss you so much."

He looked deeply at her, his face full of sincerity.

Joey's fingers trembled slightly as she held the pen. It took her several seconds to look up.

Her eyes met Sebastian's deep gaze.

She spoke in her usual tone, "Mr. Winters, I only have half an hour. I don't want to let Mr. Knight down."

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! Seeing her businesslike demeanor, Sebastian smiled bitterly. Then he began to recount the entire case.

After he finished, Sebastian looked at Joey intently. "Joey, I really don't know when that woman came in. I didn't do anything to her. You have to believe me. You're the only one I've ever touched, and I'll keep my body for you." Joey packed up her things and looked at him calmly. "Mr. Winters, rest assured, I will do my best to win this case. You don't need to stress about anything else."

With that, she turned and left.

"Joey." Sebastian stood up and called her, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her.

"Go eat something first. You must be hungry after such a long flight. The seafood here is good. Let Dominic take you to eat. This case won't be resolved in a day or two. Don't wear yourself out. I'll be worried."

Joey forced a faint smile. "Mr. Winters, don't worry. I'll take care of myself until I get you out. I'm leaving now."

With that, she turned and left without looking back.

Sebastian watched her determined back, his heart aching.

Joey wasn't like this before.

She would cry with worry when she saw him hurt, but now, he couldn't replace a trace of concern in her eyes.

Had she really given up on him?

But he was falling deeper in love with her.

Joey had a quick meal and then had Dominic take her to see the celebrity.

The actress was Helena King, the seventh princess of Country F's royal family, who was not favored.

If Joey guessed correctly, she collaborated with others to frame Sebastian, hoping to replace a powerful ally and gain the king's favor.

They met in a café, and when Helena saw Joey, a complex expression flashed in her deep blue eyes.

She looked Joey up and down, a faint smile on her lips. "Ms. Blackwood, I know you want to save Sebastian, but with all the evidence and witnesses, you can't win this case unless..."
