True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 145 Who's Your Daddy

Joey wasn't surprised; she just smiled. "Mr. Vale, need me for a case? Let's chat at the office tomorrow."

"Joey, cut the act. Did you mess up Isabella's concert today? You ruined her and her mom's reputation. If you don't apologize publicly, don't blame me for getting tough." Joey thought, 'Darren really loves his daughter. He doesn't even check the facts and assumes Isabella's innocent. What a great dad.'

She stayed calm. "Mr. Vale, don't accuse me without proof, or I'll sue you for defamation."

This was Darren's first direct clash with Joey, and he didn't expect her to be so bold.

The Vale Family is one of the top families in City B. He could easily bankrupt the Blackwood Family, yet she showed no fear.

His face darkened. "Joey, if you don't apologize, leave Sebastian. I'll give you five million dollars to go abroad and never come back. Otherwise, I won't spare your father or friends." Darren looked at his crying daughter and felt heartbroken.

He never took Joey seriously, always thinking his daughter was better in every way.

In the love triangle, he believed his daughter would win. But now, it seemed more complicated. Sebastian was willing to risk everything for Joey, shaking Darren's confidence.

If he didn't step in, his daughter would lose both Sebastian and her reputation.

Joey chuckled. "Mr. Vale, save that money for your daughter's legal fees. She might end up in jail. As for your threats, remember, I'm not easy to mess with. The Vale Family has its own secrets. If you're not afraid of me exposing them, go ahead."

"What right do you have to threaten me? You're just a small-time lawyer. Don't you think you're getting a bit too cocky?"
