True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 187 Pregnancy Exposed

"Ms. Vale, you can't just say stuff like that. When did I ever become yours?" Sebastian, in a suit vest and black shirt, tall and slender, had a coat draped over his arm.

His sharp features and deep-set eyes gave him a cold, controlled grace. He walked over with long, confident strides.

Sebastian reached Joey and draped the coat over her shoulders. His previously indifferent eyes softened instantly, becoming tender and affectionate.

His voice grew huskier. "You're gonna freeze out here dressed like that."

Joey looked at him, surprised. "Why are you here?"

Sebastian gently ruffled Joey's hair, then turned to Isabella with a mocking smile. "If I hadn't come, how would I have heard such a good joke? Ms. Vale, how many times do I have to tell you? I've never had a romantic relationship with you, so how could I have been taken from you?

Besides, Joey is someone I haven't even managed to win over yet. Why would she need to compete with anyone?"

Isabella's face turned beet red, completely embarrassed.

She thought Joey had no one to protect her and could be bullied. She hadn't expected Sebastian to follow her here.

She looked at him pitifully. "Sebastian, I didn't mean it that way."

"I don't care what you meant. Don't say it again, or I don't know what I'll do."

Isabella bit her lip. "Sebastian, I'm doing this for you. Joey broke up with you and got involved with my cousin and his friends. Despite how much you like her, she doesn't care about you at all." Sebastian chuckled softly. "It doesn't matter whether she likes me or not. As long as I like her, that's enough."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Sebastian was a powerful figure in City B, an ideal man in terms of social status and personal charm. Now, he was relentlessly pursuing Joey, even following her to City C. Isabella was furious. She clenched her fist tightly but put on a sincere face.

She picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Joey. "Since Sebastian said so, I apologize for misunderstanding you, Ms. Blackwood. If you're cool with it, let's toast."

As she finished speaking and drank her glass of wine, tears fell from her eyes. She apologized sincerely while crying, showing her tear-streaked face to everyone.

Isabella's sincere apology made those around her exclaim in amazement. Some began to speak on her behalf.

"We're all in the same social circle, seeing each other often. Let's just let it go."

"Yeah, she's being very sincere. Ms. Blackwood, just let it go."

Joey was a guest of the Sinclair Family and a student of Harold. She didn't want to make a big deal out of this. But she knew Isabella's purpose was to test if she was pregnant.

Given the situation, she had no choice but to drink. Just as she was about to pick up the glass and take a sip, Sophia stopped her.

Sophia glared coldly at Isabella. "Ms. Vale, Joey is my guest. You owe her an apology for what you said, but she's not drinking that wine."

Isabella looked at her with some grievance. "Miss Sinclair, do you suspect there's something wrong with my wine? I can drink it, but I've already had a lot of wine. If I drink more, I'll have a stomachache."

Sophia sneered, thinking, 'This girl should be an actress; she's wasting her talent here.'

Then she scoffed. "There's plenty of wine here. Joey can drink whatever she wants; no need to drink yours." Isabella looked helplessly at the crowd, her voice pitiful. "As long as you forgive me, I'd be willing to die." With that, she picked up the glass and took a sip.

Just as she was about to continue drinking, Dean suddenly shouted, "Sophia, that's enough. She's already apologized, and there are so many people watching. You drink the wine, then this matter is over." With an elder speaking up, if Sophia continued to make a fuss, it would seem petty. Without thinking, Sophia grabbed the wine from Isabella's hand to drink it.

At that moment, she saw a calculating look in Isabella's eyes. Sophia realized she had almost fallen into Isabella's trap. If she drank this wine, Joey's pregnancy would be exposed.

Isabella must be trying to test if Joey was pregnant. Thinking of this, she put the wine back and said nonchalantly, "Sorry, Ms. Vale, I'm on my period and can't drink. I accept your apology."

Hearing this, Isabella immediately showed a surprised expression. "Miss Sinclair, aren't you pregnant? How can you still have your period?"

Then she quickly covered her mouth, looking innocent. "Sorry, Miss Sinclair, I forgot you're pregnant and can't drink. Let's forget about this glass of wine; drinking is bad for the baby."

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! Dean's face instantly turned grim. He looked at Sophia. "What pregnancy? What's going on?"

Sophia gritted her teeth in anger, thinking, 'This damn Isabella, she failed to cause trouble for Joey and now wants to frame me.'

Sophia immediately shook her head. "Grandpa, don't listen to her nonsense. I don't even have a boyfriend. How could I be pregnant? She's just trying to get back at me."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Isabella take out a pregnancy test report and hand it to Dean.

Isabella smiled. "Miss Sinclair doesn't have a boyfriend? That's strange. I saw you at the hospital today, and you're six weeks pregnant. Whose child is it? Did you accidentally sleep with someone? If that's the case, did I cause trouble for you? I'm really sorry."

She spoke apologetically, but her face showed a smug expression. Not only did she expose Sophia's unwed pregnancy in front of everyone, but she also labeled her as promiscuous.

Sophia, furious, picked up a glass of wine and splashed it on Isabella. The cold wine trickled down Isabella's head. The high-end evening gown instantly lost its charm.

Isabella screamed, tears welling up as she looked at Sophia. "Miss Sinclair, I'm really sorry for exposing your scandal, but you can't splash wine on me. This dress was a gift from my uncle, worth millions of dollars."

Seeing her disgusting face, Sophia gritted her teeth. "So what if I splash you? I want to hit you too!"

With that, she slapped Isabella hard. Sophia's slap made Isabella's cheek sting, her vision blurred.

Tears instantly streamed down Isabella's face. She clutched her red cheek, looking pitiful. "How can you hit me? Being pregnant isn't a bad thing. Joey wants to get pregnant but can't. If you don't want the baby, you can give it to her." Sophia, enraged, raised her arm to hit her again, but Dean grabbed her wrist. He glared at her coldly. "Whose child is it?"
