True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Hearing this, Sebastian was instantly stunned.

He stared blankly at Joyce's tear-streaked face and asked, "You, you did it on purpose?"

"What else? So you could keep deceiving me like a fool with a different identity?"

"Then was the aphrodisiac real or fake?"

Joyce's eyes reddened as she looked at him, her voice somewhat hoarse, "I knew there was something in the drink, but I still drank it. I just wanted to know who you really are.

You had Leonard impersonate you to completely dispel my doubts. You might fool Lena, but you can't fool me.

Leonard always smokes with his left hand, while you use your right. Just from that, I guessed it wasn't you.

So I figured you had him come to confuse me.

Sebastian, do you think it's fun to mess with me?"

Hearing these words, Sebastian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Joyce's keen insight was truly unmatched.

He didn't expect her to uncover the truth so quickly.

His eyes revealed emotions he couldn't hide and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Joyce, to protect you, I couldn't approach you as Sebastian, but I couldn't leave you alone, either, so I used the identity of Ryan. This identity wouldn't arouse Kevin's suspicion and Kevin wouldn't dare to easily oppose this identity. I wanted to use this identity to protect you."

Joyce gave a self-deprecating laugh, "So I should thank you, right? Sorry, I can't accept your way of protecting. If you trusted me, you could have told me your plan. There was no need to treat me like a fool. You approached me with another identity to test if I still had feelings for you, right?

I remember saying the day we broke up that once you let go, don't look back.

Everything I'm doing now is for my child and to avenge my dad. It has nothing to do with you."

Joyce's breath was weak and her words were soft and powerless.

But they still pierced Sebastian's heart.

His eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Joyce, I really wanted to tell you the truth, but the identity of Ryan carries a heavy responsibility. He not only has to avenge Sebastian but also investigate a major case for Mr. Ward. I can't guarantee I'll come back alive to see you.

I'd rather you lose a partner like Ryan than lose your former love, Sebastian.

I don't want to hurt you anymore. If something really happens to me, at worst, someone will tell you that Sebastian has Permanent immigration and won't come back. No one will tell you that he has completely left you.

Forgetting me would be easier for you than being left alone in this world."

Hearing these words, Joyce's physical pain intensified.

Her heart felt like it had been heavily struck.

She knew the identity of Ryan wouldn't be so simple.

She knew the responsibility Sebastian bore must be immense.

Joyce slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears flow down her cheeks.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if that day really came.

Seeing her in such pain, Sebastian gently stroked her eye corner and softly asked, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? I'll get a doctor for you."

After saying that, he was about to pick up the phone to call his assistant, but Joyce stopped him.

"Don't call. I think Lena must have done this. Since she wants to see us together, let her see."

As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Joyce immediately climbed onto the bed, covering herself with the blanket, exposing her smooth shoulder.

Sebastian quickly put on a mask, took off his clothes, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

He impatiently opened the door and asked the waiter, "What is it?"

The waiter, pushing a dining cart, respectfully said, "Sir, your dinner is here. Should I bring it in?"

Sebastian frowned, "Who told you I ordered dinner? Interrupting me while I'm making love, get out!" After saying that, he forcefully closed the door.

Then he rushed to the bed, looking at Joyce's pained expression and asked, "Joyce, how are you?" Joyce gently shook her head, "I'm fine. Take me to soak in cold water."

"Joyce, I can help you."

Without thinking, Joyce refused, "Sebastian, we're already divorced."

Seeing her so insistent, Sebastian couldn't refuse her. He could only carry her into the bathroom. He placed Joyce in the bathtub, letting the cold water slowly soak her burning body.

On the other side.

Lena was having dinner with a client when her phone suddenly received a text message. She opened it and saw the scene from the room just now.

She smirked and replied: [Send it to all major media outlets, saying that the top lawyer in the legal field has found a new love.]

'As long as they publish this news, Joyce would never have a chance to return to Sebastian. By the way, she would get Sebastian smoothly. 'The thought made her feel ecstatic.

So Lena picked up the red wine the waiter had just poured and drank it all.

She smiled at the client and said, "Mr. Fitzgerald, I'll go check if Mr. Winters has had too much to drink. He's been in the restroom for quite a while."

Owen Fitzgerald stared at her chest, a lecherous expression on his face.

He reached out and pulled Lena into his arms.

Owen laughed and said, "Ms. Hayes, I know you like Sebastian and want to get this project for him. If you become my woman, I'll agree to it. How about that?"

Lena was so scared that she immediately struggled, "Mr. Fitzgerald, you can't do this. I'm Mr. Winters' secretary."

"Do you think Sebastian is still the powerful man he was two years ago? He's not the person he used to be long before. Even if I kill you today, do you think he would dare say a word?" With that, he lowered his head and bit Lena's lip.

Lena wanted to struggle, but her body seemed to lose all its strength.

She went limp, allowing Owen's lips to bite her body.

At that moment, the door of the room was pushed open.

Lena thought it was Sebastian returning.

But to her surprise, a fierce-looking middle-aged woman walked in.

The woman was plump, heavily made-up, and glared at them with a vicious expression.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing this, Owen immediately pushed Lena away and got up to stand beside Xandra Fitzgerald.

He pointed at Lena and said, "Honey, it's not my fault. This slut wanted to mess around with me to get the project."

Lena wanted to defend herself, but her throat seemed blocked and she couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xandra immediately ordered the bodyguards behind her, "Beat this slut to death!"

The bodyguards obeyed and walked over to Lena.

He raised his arm and slapped her face.

Instantly, Lena felt the world spinning.

Then, a series of slaps echoed through the room.

Lena's face swelled like a pig's head.

Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth as she cried and begged for mercy.

Xandra kicked her and then tore open her dress, revealing her black underwear.

Lena hurriedly used her arms to cover herself, crying and begging.

"Please stop, I won't dare anymore."

Xandra spat on her face and cursed, "If you dare seduce my husband again, next time I'll strip you naked and throw you on the street."

With that, Xandra grabbed Owen's ear and said, "You bastard, I'll deal with you when we get home!"

They left, and a crowd gathered at the door to watch.

Some even took out their phones to record.

Lena was so scared that she used her torn clothes to cover herself.

She kept pleading, "Stop filming."

At that moment, a voice shouted from the crowd.

"What happened here?"

Sebastian walked over, snatched the phones from the onlookers, and drove them away.

He walked towards Lena with a cold, stern face.

"What happened?"noveldrama

Lena immediately cried and said, "Mr. Winters, Owen tried to rape me, but his wife beat me and tore my clothes. Please delete the videos. If they get out, my reputation will be ruined." Seeing her pitiful state, Sebastian threw his coat to her.

He operating the phone containing her video.

His voice was cold and devoid of sympathy.

"Are you afraid these videos will be released?"

Lena nodded vigorously.

Sebastian chuckled lightly, "Then cooperate with me and tell me who you really are!"
