True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 19 "Don't Get Me Angry"

Joey didn't even think about it and replied, "I can promise you everything except this."

Sebastian chuckled lightly as he pinched her chin. "But I only want this."

"Sebastian, even if you think I had an ulterior motive for getting close to you, I've taken care of you well for these three years. I don't owe you anything, and you have no reason not to let me go." Sebastian looked at Joey's stubborn gaze and her incessant little mouth.

And her faintly visible career line.

He gulped a few times.

He pulled Joey onto his lap, chin resting on her shoulder, his voice husky. "Then tell me in detail, how have you taken care of me?"

His deep, magnetic voice made Joey shiver, and his large hand mischievously slipped into Joey's clothes.

Joey wanted to break free, but Sebastian held her tightly.

In desperation, she lowered her head and bit his shoulder.

She poured all her grievances and dissatisfaction into that bite. It wasn't until Joey tasted a hint of blood in her mouth that she let go.

Tears glistened in Joey's eyes as her voice trembled. "Sebastian, don't provoke me. Even a rabbit will bite when it's pushed to its limit."

After speaking, she pushed Sebastian away and left, her face filled with sorrow.

When Dominic returned to the car, he happened to see his boss taking photos of his shoulder with a phone.

Through the rearview mirror, he saw the bloodstained bite mark on his boss's shoulder.

Tsk.

The boss had angered someone again.

Dominic asked sympathetically, "President Winters, do you need any medication?"

Sebastian glanced at him coldly. "Am I that delicate?"

Dominic replied, "It's not that you're delicate, but perhaps you want to keep evidence to settle the score with Secretary Blackwood."

Sebastian took several more photos before putting on his clothes. He asked in a cold voice, "Who halted the projects of the Blackwood family?"

Dominic lowered his head and hesitated before saying, "It was Madam."

"Madam instructed us not to."

"Dominic, are you my assistant or hers?"

Dominic immediately said, "President Winters, it seems that Madam has found out about your relationship with Secretary Blackwood. She has sent people to investigate Secretary Blackwood's whereabouts over the past three years, as well as the cooperation between the Blackwood Group and the Winters Group. I have a feeling that her intentions are not good."

Sebastian tugged at his tie with force, tension evident in his long fingers.

He had a cold glint in his eyes.

He took out his phone and called his mother.

The call was answered, and a woman's cold voice came from the other end.

"If you want to plead for the Blackwood family, forget it. I won't let go!"

Sebastian scowled. "She is mine, and you have no right to touch her."

Mrs. Winters Jr. sneered, "I'm going after her precisely because you care so much. Do you know that her mother once seduced your father? What's so great about the daughter of a woman who used any means to climb into a man's bed?" Sebastian laughed lightly. "That's her mother, it has nothing to do with her."

"Sebastian, our family will never allow such a woman into the fold. You won't be happy with her!"

"Are you and Dad happy? You've been arguing and breaking up for decades, making me wary of marriage and my sister lose faith in love, remaining single in her thirties. Have you ever reflected on that? Why do you have to push us to the brink?"

Sebastian's voice trembled as he spoke.

His mind was filled with images of his parents arguing.

His sister would take him and hide in a small dark room, holding him while silently shedding tears.

If it weren't for their grandmother, they probably wouldn't have grown up healthy.

He leaned back in his chair, gently pressing his temples with his fingers.

Whenever he thought of these things, he would get a splitting headache.

Mrs. Winters Jr. showed no sympathy. "Is it all my fault? If your father hadn't messed around, would I have argued with him? Sebastian, let me tell you, I've made up my mind about Joey. I will never let that woman stay by your side, not even as a lover!" With that, she heartlessly hung up the phone.
