True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 54 Who is the Mastermind

Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Blackwood Sr. sneered. "If you want to split the family apart and establish your own household, it'd be best to marry Joey off, otherwise Tristan will lose an arm."

Benjamin Blackwood was instantly struck with a sharp pain in his chest. How could his mother be so biased? If Tristan was a descendant of the Blackwood family, wasn't his daughter just as worthy of the family name? To settle the debt owed by her grandson, she actually targeted his beloved daughter.

Benjamin Blackwood pulled Joey behind him. Never before had he been so ruthless. "If Tristan lost in a gamble, why should my daughter repay the debt? If he deserves to lose an arm, so be it. Besides, my daughter already has someone, so please leave!"

Mrs. Blackwood Jr., who had been supporting the old lady while watching the drama unfold, became furious upon hearing someone slander her son. "Benjamin, how can you say such things? You call yourself an uncle?

"What's wrong with marrying off your daughter? She's already been sullied and abandoned long ago, yet someone still wants her. That's already considered a blessing.

"Do you really think Sebastian will marry her? With a mother like hers, she can forget about joining the Winters family's in this lifetime. Joey, just like her mother, is a despicable woman. It's good enough that someone is willing to take her, yet she still acts like she has the right to choose."

Mrs. Blackwood Jr. spoke through gritted teeth, her face contorted in anger.

Joey, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally erupted.

She raised her arm and slapped Mrs. Blackwood Jr.'s face. With a crisp sound that echoed through the entire hall, she said, "Aunt, this slap is on behalf of my grandfather. I hope it teaches you a lesson."

Before Mrs. Blackwood Jr. could react, another slap landed on her face. "This slap is for myself. Your son, Tristan, schemed against me three years ago and almost took advantage of me. I haven't settled that score with him yet."

Enraged, Mrs. Blackwood Jr. pounced towards Joey like a furious tigress, but she was stopped by Julian and Alexander. Mrs. Blackwood Jr. began to curse loudly, "Joey, do you really think you're fit to be Mrs. Winters Jr.? Do you think I'm afraid to hit you?

"I know exactly what's going on between you and Sebastian. You two put on a show to make Benjamin feel better. Benjamin, have you ever thought about why Sebastian didn't come on such an important day as your discharge from the hospital, if he really cares about your daughter?

"How dare you act so arrogantly. I'll make you regret opening your mouth!"

After speaking, she struggled to break free from the restraints to attack Joey.

Just then, a voice as cold as ice came from behind, "I dare anyone to touch her!"

All eyes turned towards the entrance, where Sebastian stood holding a gift box, dressed in a sharp suit, looking handsome and poised.

He handed the gift box to the butler and walked towards Joey. He embraced her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry, I got held up."

He then turned his gaze towards Benjamin Blackwood. "Mr. Blackwood, I've brought you some supplements. I heard they're very beneficial for recovery. Give them a try, and if they work well, I'll get more for you." Everyone present knew just how valuable those supplements were, yet Sebastian was giving them freely to Benjamin Blackwood, which showed how much he valued him.

Mrs. Blackwood Jr. was too frightened to speak and quietly hid behind Mrs. Blackwood Sr.

Sebastian's sinister and terrifying voice filled the hall.

"Three years ago, Joey was ambushed in an alley, and I was set up to save her. Who was behind it?"
