True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 33 No More Heartache

When Joey arrived at the police station, Sophia was siting in the interrogation room, handcuffed. She remained calm, looking at the officer in front of her, continuously defending herself without any sign of fear. Joey walked over quickly and politely said, "Hello, I'm her friend. What's going on?"

Before the officer could reply, Sophia interjected, "After you disappeared yesterday, Julian went to replace his dad for you, and I was left alone. I figured you must have gone to see that despicable man, so I went to the bar to have a drink. Coincidentally, I saw Isabella there, boasting about Mr. Blackwood. She had a smug look on her face. I couldn't help but curse at her, but it was just a few words. However, this morning, I was hauled in with accusations of having smashed Isabella's car. They won't listen to me no matter what I say.."

Upon hearing Isabella's name, Joey clenched his fist tightly. She knew without a doubt that this was Isabella's usual method of framing people, just as she had done with Joey. Her once beautiful eyes instantly turned cold, and her voice lost all the politeness it had when she first entered.

"Do you have any evidence that proves my friend smashed the car?"

"We found one of your friend's earrings next to Isabella's car, exactly matching the one currently on her ear. Besides that, we have an eyewitness, that woman over there. She claims she saw Sophia smashing the car with her own eyes." Joey immediately turned her gaze toward the woman not far away. With just one look, she froze. Though many years had passed, Joey still recognized her instantly. A cold sweat broke out on Joey's back, and she tightly clenched her fists, glaring at the woman.

Sophia noticed something was off. She asked while holding Joey's hand, "Joey, do you know her?"

Joey snapped out of the nightmare. She shook her head gently and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know her."

"That's good then. I won't let Isabella get away with it. She tried to set you up twice, and now she's doing the same to me. I'll make sure she pays for it, along with that woman. I'll sue them both!"

Just as she finished speaking, Isabella's voice could be heard from outside.

"Sebastian, I didn't actually know that Miss Sinclair was Secretary Blackwood's friend. If I had known, this wouldn't have happened. That car was only worth a few million, so what if it got smashed? I'll just have my dad buy me another one. I just don't want Secretary Blackwood to misunderstand. Let's end this. I'll withdraw my complaint."

Joey turned around and saw Sebastian, dressed completely in black, walking toward them with a cold expression. Isabella followed on his left, tugging at his sleeve. Seeing this scene again, Joey thought she would still feel heartbroken as before. But now, she felt nothing. She watched them approach without any emotion. On the other hand, Sophia was furious, glaring at Sebastian and cursing, "You despicable man, you can't have your cake and eat it too. I hope you rot in hell!"
