True Love Deserves a Second Chance -
Chapter 29 Spoil Your Wife
Sebastian looked at her with a dark expression. He said in an unfriendly tone. "I let you go, but now you're back and even targeting my grandmother?"
Joey was confused. She turned to look at the old lady beside her in disbelief. "Is this your grandson?"
The old lady smiled and nodded. "Yes. Do you two know each other? That's great! You already have a foundation for your relationship, and you won't feel constrained when you're together."
Joey forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry. I have something to attend to. Since your family is here to pick you up, I'll take my leave."
Just as Joey stood up, Sebastian grabbed her wrist tightly. "You think you can just leave after hitting someone with your car?"
Joey smiled coldly and replied, "President Winters, have you forgotten that there's a dashcam in my car? Scams won't work on me!"
She ruthlessly turned around and left. But after only a few steps, she heard Sebastian's icy voice. "Joey, why go through all this trouble and play hard-to-get with me? As long as you agree to my terms, everything will be fine for the Blackwood family."
Joey didn't even look back and replied in a cold voice, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Blackwood family will make it through this."
After saying that, she continued to walk away, ignoring the old lady's calls. Mrs. Winters Sr. stared angrily at Sebastian, observing Joey's slender figure and her determined gaze.
"You useless thing! Do you think it was easy for me to lure her here? I almost lost my life. And what do you do? You make her leave as soon as she arrives. Do you think she cares about your measly money? Let me tell you, she doesn't give a damn."
Sebastian furrowed his brows and looked at her. "Who told you to do that? Do you realize how dangerous it was?"
"What choice did I have? If I don't do something, we'd never be able to bring her back," Mrs. Winters Sr. said, looking at her grandson with disdain.

From a young age, her grandson had always been better than others in everything, except when it came to relationships. He lagged far behind others in that aspect.
Sebastian wanted to say a few more words to enlighten her, but seeing the old lady sigh, he held back. He simply said, "What do you have to worry about? Once she's worked it out of her system, she'll come back."
Mrs. Winters Sr. glared at her arrogant grandson and pounded the table in anger. "How did I raise such a useless person? You have to pamper women. Do you think it's right to treat her with a cold face? With your attitude, you'll drive away a hundred women. You're absolutely hopeless compared to my friend's grandson. He already has two children after just three years of marriage."
Mrs. Winters Sr. snorted in disdain and walked away without looking back.
That weekend, Mr. Blackwood Sr. was discharged from the hospital. Sophia and Julian came early to celebrate the occasion. They even bought and cooked a lot of dishes that Joey loved. Mr. Blackwood Sr. looked at Joey, who was sitting on the couch lost in thought, and gently rubbed her head.
"You've been through a lot recently. My health is fine now, and you've quit your job. It's a good time for you to go out and have some fun. Julian mentioned something about going back to Country F for a case. You can go with him and relax. I realize I haven't been taking care of myself enough, and you've suffered a lot. I'll be more careful from now on."
The father's intentions couldn't be clearer. He wanted her to move on from her past relationship and embrace a new life.
Joey smiled and said, "I'm fine. Just a few days of rest at home will do. I'll be quite busy, attending both a classmate's wedding and a colleague's child's first birthday party. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself."
Mr. Blackwood Sr. patted her shoulder meaningfully and said, "You're still single, though. It's only right to have some fun and celebrate."
The father and daughter were having a pleasant conversation when suddenly the butler rushed in.
"Sir, Ms. Joey, there are two people in uniform outside claiming to be from the prosecutor's office. They want to investigate a case."
