Joey swiftly dodged to the side, but a portion of the hot coffee still sshed onto her feet.
It was so painful that she involuntarily gasped for air.
Just as Joey was about to confront Isabe, she looked up and saw Isabe hurling herself towards the ss cab behind her.
Instinctively, Joey reached out and tried to pull her back, but Isabe broke free from Joey''s grasp.
There was a shattering sound as Isabe''s arm collided with the ss. Blood started to flow from her hand.
At that moment, Sebastian''s cold voice came from behind them.
"Joey, what are you doing?"
Sebastian''s tall figure quickly reached Isabe''s side. His deep eyes grew darker.
"What happened to you?"
Tears streamed down Isabe''s pale face, and her mouth trembled.
"Sebastian, it''s all my fault. I identally spilled coffee on Secretary ckwood, and she misunderstood, so she pushed me. Please don''t me her, okay?"
Upon hearing these words, Joey''s eyes widened in disbelief.
She never expected Isabe to resort to such a scheme to frame her.
Joey immediately exined, "I didn''t push her, she fell on her own."
Sebastian''s cold gaze quickly scanned Joey, pausing for a moment on the burn mark on her foot. Then, he left, saying in a cold voice, "I''ll deal with you when Ie back!"
With that, he hurriedly walked out with Isabe.
Joey watched their retreating figures, a look of indescribable pain on her face.
This was the man she had loved for seven years. He never chose to believe her over Isabe.
Joey quicklyposed herself. She would not let Isabe''s scheme seed.
Even though she had already broken up with Sebastian, and she didn''t care about his attitude towards her anymore, she couldn''t tolerate this framing and scheming.
If it happened once, it would happen again.
Joey immediately found her colleague Elizabeth and asked her to seek help from her boyfriend in the technical department to make a copy of the video that had just been recorded. She needed to prove her innocence.
After handling everything, Joey quickly distanced herself from the incident. She immersed herself in her busy work.
Sebastian and Dominic were both absent, and the senior management was already waiting in the conference room. She had to chair the morning meeting.
Joey systematically recorded the reports from each department. She also brought up some challenging projects for discussion this week.
Sebastian was not in the meeting room, which lightened the atmosphere. Everyone praised Joey for herpetence and even joked about her and Sebastian working so well together, wondering if she could be their boss.
Faced with everyone''spliments, Joey smiled faintly.novelbin
"We only have a working rtionship, so please don''t specte. Besides, I''m about to..."
...resign.

Sebastian stood at the doorway in a ck suit, exuding a cold and sinister aura, like a demon emerging from hell.
His deep, dark eyes coldly fixed on Joey. The previously peaceful and rxed atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly turned tense and suffocating.
Everyone stood up in unison and shouted, "President Winters!"
Sebastian didn''t respond. He walked towards Joey with long strides. His icy hand tightly gripped Joey''s wrist, his voice chillingly terrifying.
"Come with me!"
Sebastian dragged Joey out of the meeting room.
As she lowered her gaze, she noticed several obvious burns on her fair and smooth instep.
He said in a displeased tone, "You''re so foolish!"
With that, he bent down and embraced Joey in his arms.
