True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 154 Are You Dead Yet

Benjamin and Angie were rigged with explosives. Angie hid completely behind Benjamin, making it tough to get a clear shot at her. With such a detailed plan and all the explosives, Sebastian doubted Angie did this alone.

Whoever planned this had people in prison and could come up with a flawless escape plan. This person was no ordinary criminal. Sebastian's eyes darkened at the thought.

Seeing Benjamin covered in explosives, Joey screamed, "Dad!" She tried to run over but Benjamin stopped her.

"Joey, Sebastian, stay back. Get out of here. This woman is nuts. She has the remote and wants to take us all out," Benjamin warned.

Sebastian grabbed Joey's wrist, his voice steady. "Joey, don't move. I'll handle this."

He raised the box in his hand and looked at Angie. "The money and plane are ready. Let him go."

Angie sneered. "Sebastian, have your men drop their weapons and back off fifty feet. You and Joey bring the money to me. If you try anything, we all die." She raised the remote, ready to detonate.

Sebastian coldly agreed. "Fine, I'll have them retreat."

He signaled the bodyguards to put away their weapons and step back.

Holding the box in one hand and Joey's wrist in the other, Sebastian slowly approached Angie.

A few steps away, they stopped. Sebastian raised his hand. "Release Mr. Blackwood first. He's not well. I'll be your hostage until you're out of the country."

Angie laughed maniacally. "Sebastian, you're really going all out for Joey. Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

She pushed Benjamin towards Joey. Standing behind Sebastian with the remote, she spoke like a demon. "I know you've set everything up. I can't escape. The explosives on Benjamin will kill him and Joey, and us too. Sebastian, you had me tortured in prison. My life was hell. I don't want to live anymore. Taking you all with me is worth it."

She glared at everyone and cried out, "All of you, die!"

She tried to press the button, but Sebastian kicked her to the ground.

He rushed to grab the remote but saw Angie rolling towards the cliff.

As she rolled, she sneered. If she activated the button while falling, the explosives on Benjamin would kill everyone.

Sebastian didn't hesitate. Just as Angie was about to fall, he grabbed her wrist. He tried to snatch the remote but grabbed the wrong hand.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled Angie up. She sneered, "Sebastian, if you have the guts, jump down and fight me for it."

Seeing her finger pressing down, Sebastian had only one thought. He promised Joey he'd save her dad. He couldn't break his promise.

At the critical moment, Sebastian lunged at Angie, grabbing her wrist with the remote control.

As they tumbled down the slope, Sebastian twisted Angie's wrist, breaking it. She screamed and dropped the remote.

They rolled faster and soon vanished from sight. Then, a deafening explosion echoed from the bottom of the mountain.

Joey lay at the cliff's edge, screaming, "Sebastian!" Only the valley's echo and rising smoke answered her.

Joey's hands clawed at the ground, her nails breaking and bleeding, but she didn't notice. She lay there, calling Sebastian's name over and over, tears streaming down her face.

Dominic rushed to comfort her. "Ms. Blackwood, our team is searching. I believe Mr. Winters will be fine."

Though heartbroken, Joey knew the truth. Sebastian had rolled down with Angie. The explosives on Angie would detonate on impact. The steep slope made it hard for Sebastian to separate from her. As night fell, the temperature dropped, and mist enveloped the area, complicating the rescue.

Joey stood quietly at the mountain's base, cold and vacant. Suddenly, a coat was draped over her shoulders. Maxwell's deep voice reached her. "Joey, wait in the car. I brought my team. They'll replace Sebastian."

Joey's cracked lips moved, but her voice was hoarse. She cleared her throat and weakly said, "Maxwell, he can't die."

Seeing her swollen eyes, Maxwell's heart ached. He patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. He's tougher than that."

He led his team into the mountain. The rescue team's searchlights moved slowly like fireflies in the misty valley. The overgrown weeds made the search difficult.

A few hours later, Joey got a call from Maxwell. "Joey, we found parts of Angie's body but no sign of Sebastian. He must have separated from her while rolling. He won't die. I'll bring him back." Hope flickered in Joey's eyes. She quickly wiped her tears. "Maxwell, be careful."

"Okay, now go wait in the car. If he's rescued and you're exhausted, it won't help."

"I'll listen to you."

After hanging up, Maxwell carefully observed the route where Sebastian fell. If Sebastian let go of Angie, something had to stop his fall. Maxwell climbed halfway up the mountain.

As he searched every possible foothold, something wrapped tightly around his ankle.

He was about to kick it away when he saw a bloody hand.

Maxwell immediately crouched down and shone his light on the person. Under the spotlight, he saw a familiar face.

His heart sank, and he slapped Sebastian's face a few times. "Sebastian, are you dead?"
