Upon hearing these words, Mrs. ckwood Sr. sneered. "If you want to split the family apart and establish your own household, it''d be best to marry Joey off, otherwise Tristan will lose an arm."
Benjamin ckwood was instantly struck with a sharp pain in his chest. How could his mother be so biased? If Tristan was a descendant of the ckwood family, wasn''t his daughter just as worthy of the family name? To settle the debt owed by her grandson, she actually targeted his beloved daughter.
Benjamin ckwood pulled Joey behind him. Never before had he been so ruthless. "If Tristan lost in a gamble, why should my daughter repay the debt? If he deserves to lose an arm, so be it. Besides, my daughter already has someone, so please leave!"
Mrs. ckwood Jr., who had been supporting the olddy while watching the drama unfold, became furious upon hearing someone nder her son. "Benjamin, how can you say such things? You call yourself an uncle?
"What''s wrong with marrying off your daughter? She''s already been sullied and abandoned long ago, yet someone still wants her. That''s already considered a blessing.
"Do you really think Sebastian will marry her? With a mother like hers, she can forget about joining the Winters family''s in this lifetime. Joey, just like her mother, is a despicable woman. It''s good enough that someone is willing to take her, yet she still acts like she has the right to choose."
Mrs. ckwood Jr. spoke through gritted teeth, her face contorted in anger.
Joey, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally erupted.
She raised her arm and pped Mrs. ckwood Jr.''s face. With a crisp sound that echoed through the entire hall, she said, "Aunt, this p is on behalf of my grandfather. I hope it teaches you a lesson."
Before Mrs. ckwood Jr. could react, another pnded on her face. "This p is for myself. Your son, Tristan, schemed against me three years ago and almost took advantage of me. I haven''t settled that score with him yet."

Enraged, Mrs. ckwood Jr. pounced towards Joey like a furious tigress, but she was stopped by Julian and Alexander. Mrs. ckwood Jr. began to curse loudly, "Joey, do you really think you''re fit to be Mrs. Winters Jr.? Do you think I''m afraid to hit you?
"I know exactly what''s going on between you and Sebastian. You two put on a show to make Benjamin feel better. Benjamin, have you ever thought about why Sebastian didn''te on such an important day as your discharge from the hospital, if he really cares about your daughter?
"How dare you act so arrogantly. I''ll make you regret opening your mouth!"
After speaking, she struggled to break free from the restraints to attack Joey.
Just then, a voice as cold as ice came from behind, "I dare anyone to touch her!"
All eyes turned towards the entrance, where Sebastian stood holding a gift box, dressed in a sharp suit, looking handsome and poised.

He handed the gift box to the butler and walked towards Joey. He embraced her, nting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I''m sorry, I got held up."
He then turned his gaze towards Benjamin ckwood. "Mr. ckwood, I''ve brought you some supplements. I heard they''re very beneficial for recovery. Give them a try, and if they work well, I''ll get more for you." Everyone present knew just how valuable those supplements were, yet Sebastian was giving them freely to Benjamin ckwood, which showed how much he valued him.
Mrs. ckwood Jr. was too frightened to speak and quietly hid behind Mrs. ckwood Sr.novelbin
Sebastian''s sinister and terrifying voice filled the hall.
"Three years ago, Joey was ambushed in an alley, and I was set up to save her. Who was behind it?"
