True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 39 Seeing Through Without Revealing

The document was dirty, and it had an unpleasant smell.

Sebastian was very particular about cleanliness, and if he was given this document, he would be extremely displeased.

Joey's fingers held the document so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Isabella, the pampered princess of the Vale family, actually stooped to the level of becoming an assistant at Winters Group.

What exactly was her purpose, and how could Joey anticipate her next move? She had to assume that such incidents would happen frequently in the future.

A coldness flickered on Joey's attractive face.

After a few minutes, Joey entered the meeting room once again.

Seeing her empty-handed, Isabella's face revealed a hint of satisfaction, but it quickly vanished without a trace.

She seemed to kindly intercede for Joey. "Sebastian, even though this contract won't be finalized today, it will affect a multi-billion-dollar deal. However, I believe Secretary Blackwood didn't lose it on purpose. Can you, for my sake, not punish her? I'll compensate for the losses on her behalf. What do you think?"

Sebastian looked at her expressionlessly. "And how do you plan on compensating me?"

Upon hearing his response, Isabella immediately smiled and said, "The Vale family is developing a tourist town in the Northern Suburbs, a project worth billions, with great prospects. Many people are vying for this collaboration opportunity. I can talk to my father and have him reserve this opportunity for you."

Sebastian's icy gaze shifted toward Joey, his voice devoid of warmth. "What do you think?"

Joey smiled faintly. "President Winters, our team has investigated that project. The previous developer had conflicts with the government and ran off with the funds. The local government is re-tendering the project, essentially looking for someone to fill this big hole. I don't think we need to be the scapegoat for a failed project. Moreover, this project involves many issues with relocating farmers. As you are aware, such matters are not easy to handle."

As Joey spoke, she projected the investigation report of the project onto the large screen.

All the shareholders present nodded in agreement after reading the report. "Secretary Blackwood's analysis is correct. This project is indeed a trap, and our group cannot afford to fall for it."

Wasn't Joey indirectly implying that the Vale family was trying to pass the buck on the project?

With a calm expression, Isabella said, "Since Secretary Blackwood won't accept my gesture of goodwill, may I ask how you plan to compensate for the loss of several billion dollars in contracts?" Sebastian also turned his gaze toward Joey, looking at her meaningfully.

He was curious to know how she would make up for this mistake.

If she pleaded with him and made amends, he could choose to forgive.

Joey calmly took out a USB flash drive from her pocket and looked at everyone with a composed expression.

"The contract was thrown in the restroom trash bin, making it inconvenient to bring it here. So, I scanned the documents onto this USB drive to facilitate our discussion. At the same time, I've asked the other party's secretary to send another copy, which should arrive in half an hour. That way, the signing won't be delayed."

Upon seeing the scanned contract on the screen, a hint of amusement flashed in Sebastian's eyes.

However, Sebastian's voice remained as cold as ever as he looked at Joey and said, "Don't let this happen again."

Joey nodded. "President Winters, I will be more cautious of the schemers around me in the future."

As she said this, she glanced at Isabella. Joey gave her a seemingly friendly smile.

Her gesture couldn't be more obvious. The shareholders present were all seasoned individuals in the workplace, and they understood what was really going on.

But out of respect for Isabella's status as the princess of the Vale family, no one exposed the truth.

Isabella was seething with anger.
