True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 36 Joey, So Terrifying

Sophia shed tears of distress. She held Joey tightly in her arms, comforting her incessantly.

"Joey, it's going to be okay. You have me, Julian, and Mr. Blackwood. We all love you and care about you. We won't let you get hurt again."

That night, Joey couldn't sleep well at all. She had several nightmares in a row.

When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were swollen.

But life had to go on. Her father was still waiting for her to save him, so she had to stay strong.

Joey ate the nutritious breakfast that Sophia had prepared. She changed into a high-end professional suit and put on exquisite makeup. She drove to the Winters Group headquarters.

As soon as she entered the office, she heard Elizabeth's arrogant voice.

"Who took the meeting minutes? Why isn't the person responsible for each project marked?"

"Who cleaned President Winters' office? There's even a hair on the floor."

"You've been with President Winters for so many years, and you can't even make a decent cup of coffee."

A smile tugged at the corner of Joey's lips as she leaned against the office door.

There were delicate lights flickering in her beautiful almond eyes.

Now she finally understood why Elizabeth had turned against her. It turned out she wanted to take her position.

Joey chuckled softly, her tone gentle and pleasant.

"Elizabeth, you're so imposing that I almost didn't dare to come in."

Upon hearing her voice, everyone in the President's office widened their eyes.

Charlotte Summers immediately ran toward her. "Secretary Blackwood, does this mean you're back at work?"

Joey nodded lightly.

A cheer erupted on the scene.

"Great, Secretary Blackwood is back. We don't have to endure Elizabeth's incompetence anymore."

Elizabeth chuckled dismissively. "So what if she's back? I'm the President's Chief Secretary now."

Joey flicked her chestnut curls and walked up to Elizabeth in her high heels.

"Is that so? And what about it? President Winters brought me back with the first condition being the restoration of my original position."

She used to be low-key. She never showed off in front of others. She was always considerate of her colleagues and helped whenever she could.

But now she realized that some people wouldn't appreciate her help.

Elizabeth was a prime example.

Elizabeth stared at her in disbelief. "I don't believe it, you're lying! I reported you for framing Miss Vale. That's why President Winters let me take over your position. He wouldn't go back on his word."

Joey smiled gently. "You can go ask him yourself, but before you do, let's settle the score. Since you accused me of framing Isabella, do you think you should return the dirty money I lent you to destroy the evidence?" Just a moment ago, she had a gentle expression and a soft voice, but now she instantly turned cold and terrifying.

Joey looked down at Elizabeth from a higher position, gradually cornering her.

Elizabeth had never seen Joey be this intimidating before.

In her mind, Joey was always easy to take advantage of. She was also easy to deceive.

In the beginning, all she had to do was shed a few tears, and Joey helped her and her boyfriend get jobs here.

She complained to Joey that she didn't have enough money to buy a house, and without hesitation, Joey lent her a million dollars.

Elizabeth felt jealous of Joey's good family background and her enchanting face that even Sebastian was fascinated by.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth. "I'll pay you back soon, and you won't be happy for long!"

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out.

Cheers erupted in the President's office.

"Secretary Blackwood, you should have done this a long time ago. She pretended to be your friend but played dirty tricks behind your back. Such a villainous person deserves to go to hell." Sebastian, who had been watching the video surveillance feed in his office, couldn't help but smile.

Joey had always been gentle and elegant, never caring about gains and losses in her interactions with colleagues. Sebastian had never seen her being so assertive before.

He picked up the phone and dialed the internal line.

"Let Secretary Blackwood in."
