True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 207 I Really Want to Love You

Sebastian's face went cold. He thought, 'Cordelia's really something. Her wounds aren't even healed, and she's already plotting against Isabella. She really cares about her. Even Bianca and I never got that kind of attention.' Sebastian's lips tightened as he said, "She found out about Joey's background."

Theodore frowned. "So she told Rachel, who blackmailed Mr. Blackwood, causing his heart attack and messing up Joey's court date to save Isabella."

'They don't care about anyone else for Isabella's sake. But if Cordelia knows Joey is Connie's daughter, as Connie's best friend, shouldn't she protect Joey and go after Isabella instead? Why frame Joey? It doesn't add up.' Theodore started doubting Cordelia's feelings for Connie.

'When Connie was dying, she held onto the necklace Cordelia gave her. What was she trying to say? Did she find out something about Cordelia? Is Connie's death linked to Cordelia?' Theodore felt a sharp pain in his chest. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought, 'If that's true, what happens to Joey? Wouldn't she have a huge grudge against Sebastian over her mom's death?'

Theodore gripped his phone tightly, his voice hoarse. "Sebastian, are you hiding something from me?"

Sebastian clenched his fist and denied it. "No, there's no clue at all."

"Not even the necklace?"

"The person who made it is dead; no one knows its secret."

Theodore felt something was off. "Then give me back the necklace; it's my mom's keepsake."

Sebastian said, "It's my token of love for Joey. I'll give it to her when we marry."

"Sebastian, Cordelia designed that. Do you think Joey would want it after all the harm Cordelia caused her?"

"I won't tell her."

"She'll find out eventually."
