True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 61 I Don't Want You Anymore

Sebastian had always known it was his mom, Bianca, who almost killed her dad. He just never told her.

He stood by her in front of her father, not out of pity, but to ease his mom's guilt.

If her dad died, Bianca would face legal trouble too.

"A chill ran through Joey's body.

Any goodwill she had for Sebastian vanished with those words.

She forced a bitter smile and went back to the office with the documents.

As soon as she walked in, she heard Elizabeth's sarcastic voice, "Got Mr. Winters' protection now? Still worried about the money I owe you?" Joey snapped out of her thoughts.

She sneered, "No need to pay me back; we'll settle this in court."

"Fine, Joey, you win! Give me your account number, and I'll transfer the money."

Elizabeth sent the money and spat, "The court date's on the third. Once you're convicted, you're out of the company. We don't keep lawbreakers here."

Joey ignored her, just glanced at the transfer notification on her phone.

A malicious grin spread across her face.

She stepped out to the balcony and called Julian.

"Julian, can you check Elizabeth and her boyfriend's recent income? I think someone paid them off."

Julian replied, "I was about to tell you, Elizabeth's boyfriend, Dennis Wright, got a $280,000 tip during his game stream yesterday. The account was new and had never appeared before. I think someone's paying him off this way." "That makes sense. With a $280,000 tip, he gets $130,000, which Elizabeth transferred to me today. We'll know something if we find out who this person is."

Julian paused, then said, "Dennis mentioned during his stream that he has something valuable. I bet he didn't delete the video but kept it. We can contact him. I heard he recently lost money gambling and needs cash badly." "I Know Dennis; he'd do anything for money. I'll register a new account and ask him."

Joey quickly created a new account.

She soon got in touch with Dennis.

As expected, after a few messages, Dennis agreed to sell the video for money.

They arranged a time and place for the deal.
