Chapter 115 Triumphant Return

His voice was full of pain and sadness.

He gently stroked Joey's head, careful but loving.

This side of Sebastian confused Joey. She preferred his old domineering self; at least then she could push him away easily. Now, he seemed so fragile, like he might break with a touch.

Joey forced a smile but kept her tone cold. "Mr. Winters, no need for the grand gesture. You paid well, so winning was my job." She ignored Sebastian's request entirely.

She gave him a formal pat on the back, trying to comfort him with a smile.

This version of Joey made Sebastian uneasy.

Their bond now felt strictly professional.

Sebastian's eyes were filled with pain.

He stared at Joey, hoping to see some affection in her eyes.

But all he saw was a composed smile.

His throat tightened, and he asked hoarsely, "Joey, do you really not want me anymore?"

Joey's eyelashes fluttered, and she smiled faintly. "Mr. Winters, I took the breakup fee. We shouldn't be involved anymore, right?"

She pointed to Dominic beside her. "Dominic brought you clothes. Go change; you have a press interview later."

Sebastian felt utterly powerless.

The woman he loved was right there, but he couldn't do anything.

He clenched his fist. "Wait for me. You need to attend the press conference."

Half an hour later, Sebastian faced reporters.

He gave all the credit to Joey.

Because of this case, Joey stunned the legal world again.

After a month of decline, she made a triumphant return.
