Isabe''s tears streamed down her face. She held her injured hand in front of Sebastian. She had hurried to the hospital for treatment and rushed back, hoping to catch Joey, but she never expected to witness this scene. Sebastian knew that Joey had caused the miscarriage, yet he still treated her so well. Had her carefully thought-out n failed again?


    Isabe cried as she moved closer to Sebastian. But before she could reach him, Sebastian pulled Joey close and moved away. He looked at Isabe with cold eyes, his voice devoid of any emotion. "She was with me the whole time. When could she have hurt you?"


    Upon hearing this, Isabe was shocked. She looked at Sebastian in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. "Just now, in the restroom, Joey hurt me. Sebastian, everything I said is true. If you don''t believe me, check the surveince footage." Sebastian hailed a nearby waiter. "Retrieve the footage for me."


    Ten minutester, the bar manager came to personal apologize. "President Winters, the camera in the restroom was malfunctioning and didn''t capture anything."


    Isabe was furious. She pointed at Joey and said angrily, "It must have been Joey''s doing. She injured my hand and then destroyed the footage, just like she did at thepany that time." Joey chuckled softly. "Miss Vale, do you think I would use the same trick twice?"


    "Sebastian, she broke my hand. You have to believe me," Isabe pleaded.

    Sebastian''s gaze slightly darkened. "I only believe in evidence. Besides, she was with me the whole time. How could she have hurt you? If you want to frame someone,e up with a better excuse."


    After speaking, he took Joey''s hand and left. Isabe stomped her foot in anger. She had wanted toe back and teach Joey a lesson. She never expected the footage to be missing, and for Sebastian to provide a false alibi for Joey. What method had this woman used to bewitch Sebastian? Isabe vowed not to let her get away with it.


    Sebastian and Joey, headed back to their private room. They had only taken a few steps when Joey broke free. "President Winters, my dad is still waiting for me at the hospital. I have to go."


    Sebastian pulled her into his arms and frowned at her. "I just helped you out, and now you''re leaving? Come in and sit for a while. I''ll take you back to the hospitalter."


    "I''m not going! Besides, we''re not meant to be together," she said without looking back, and left.


    Sebastian watched her stubborn figure and couldn''t help but curl his lips. Wasn''t she being a little too headstrong? He made a casual joke, and she took it so seriously. It seemed like it was time to teach Joey a lesson.


    Joey ran out of the bar, feeling cold all over. She walked aimlessly, unknowingly arriving at the sanatorium. She stood under the streemp, gazing at the French-style building in the courtyard. Seven years'' worth of memories came rushing back to her. It was here that she saw the once broken Sebastian, and it was here that she helped him to step out of the darkness.


    At that time, she naively believed that Sebastian was fated to be hers. The two of them were each other''s redemption, the brightest light in each other''s lives. So, when Sebastian risked his life to save her three years ago, she silently promised in her heart that she would love this man well for the rest of her life.


    But she never expected Sebastian would consider that the precious love she cherished was a game of lust, not of the heart.
