True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 308 The Situation was Dire

The next morning, Joyce woke up to find Sebastian already gone.

She was starting to get used to him not being around. She knew he had a lot on his plate and was dealing with some serious stuff. More importantly, she knew he was always torn about whether to leave her. After living together for over three years, she could pretty much read Sebastian's mind.

Given the current situation, for Randall's and Elise's safety, Sebastian couldn't fight back directly. He had to lay low for a bit, wait for the right moment, and then strike.

But Kevin was worried Sebastian would retaliate, so he started using outside forces to go after Sebastian's supporters. This dragged Joyce's family into the mess too.

If Joyce separated from Sebastian, and the Taylor and Vale families stopped supporting him, they'd be out of the woods. But if that happened, Sebastian wouldn't stand a chance against Kevin on his own.

When Joyce thought about this, her eyes filled with tears, but she still smiled, gently stroking her belly, and softly said, "Baby, your daddy will get through this, right? We won't leave him."

Joyce got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came downstairs, she saw the Vale family's butler, Reginald Thorneberry, standing in the hall.

Reginald looked like he had something urgent.

Joyce walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Reginald looked troubled and said, "Mrs. Winters, I know it's not the best time to come to you, but I don't know who else to turn to. The Vale family is facing a huge financial crisis. The cash flow has been cut off, and all imported spare parts have stopped shipping.
