Everyone in the room was stunned.


    Sebastian''s eyes, once full of emotion, turned bloodshot.


    His voice was ice-cold. "Let her jump then!"


    Dominic wiped his sweat. "Mr. Winters, it''splicated. Reporters are at the hospital, and Ms. Vale''s situation is online. You''re in the spotlight."


    Sebastian''s veins bulged, fists clenched.


    He looked intensely at Joey, sensing Aurora''s question had shaken her.


    He saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes.


    He walked over to Joey, bending down. "Joey, about Grandma''s question, I want your answer."


    Joey lowered hershes, hiding her emotions.


    She softly said, "Sebastian, life is precious. Go quickly. The case abroad has already hurt Winters Group. You can''t afford more bad news. Think of the bigger picture." Her words were loaded with meaning.


    Sebastian got it.


    He looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "Joey, trust me, I''ll handle this. Wait for me."


    He left quickly with Dominic.


    Aurora fumed. "Why can''t Isabe be like Connie? She''s always causing trouble."


    Joey smiled,forting her. "Mrs. Winters, he''ll handle it. Don''t worry. You need to eat. Skipping meals isn''t good."


    She handed Aurora a bowl of food.


    Seeing Joey''s thoughtfulness, Aurora sighed. "Joey, no matter what, I''m on your side."


    When Sebastian reached the rooftop, a crowd had gathered.


    People were recording with their phones.


    Isabe stood at the edge, crying and calling Sebastian''s name.


    Seeing him, she cried harder. "Sebastian, I know you don''t like me, but I just want to be by your side. If you ignore me, what''s the point of living?"


    She moved as if to jump.


    Darren ran to Sebastian, pleading. "Sebastian, save Isabe. She risked her life for you. If not for saving you, she wouldn''t have lost the chance to be a mother. She wouldn''t have severe depression. Please, for us and for her sacrifice, grant her request."


    Reporters and onlookers began criticizing Sebastian.


    "She can''t have kids because of you, and you still don''t want her? How heartless!"


    "A woman who does this must love you deeply. Why don''t you cherish her?"


    Sebastian''s face was stormy. He''d never been criticized like this.


    His cold eyes red at Isabe. "I''m giving you one chance. Are youing down or not?"


    Isabe was scared by his aura.


    But she had to see it through.


    She cried, shaking her head. "Sebastian, my only reason for living is you. If you don''t care about me, I might as well die and make way for you and Joey."


    She took another step forward. One more move, and she''d fall.


    People gasped in shock.


    This was the tenth floor. If she fell, she''d be smashed to pieces.


    Someone in the crowd shouted, "What are you waiting for? Save her, even if you gotta lie. Just get her outta there first!"


    Daphne, tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Sebastian, only you can save Isabe. She''s the treasure of our family. Without her, Darren and Theodore wouldn''t survive." Facing everyone''s usations and Daphne''s pleas, Sebastian''s anger peaked.


    He''d heard this countless times.


    Every time, he had topromise because of the families'' friendship.

    If he agreed to Isabe now, it would be like admitting their rtionship publicly.


    While he hesitated, Isabe slipped, screaming as she fell.


    Sebastian rushed over and grabbed her wrist.


    His arm scraped against the rooftop''s stone b, leaving scratches.


    He gritted his teeth. "Whether you want toe up or die, I can fulfill either wish."


    Isabe, truly scared, still gambled with her life.


    She cried and shook her head. "Without you, I''d rather die."


    She tried to pry his hand off.


    Behind him, the Vale family cried and pleaded, and the crowd criticized.


    He''d never been in such a desperate situation.


    He bit his teeth hard. "I can only consider you as a sister. Come up!"


    Isabe finally stopped struggling.


    She smiled gratefully. "As long as you don''t ignore me, I''m willing to be your sister for life."


    She extended her other hand to him.


    Joey couldn''t help but curl her lips coldly.


    She had to admire Isabe''s courage.


    To get close to Sebastian, she was willing to gamble with her life.


    Joey thought, ''Being his sister for life? No way. She wants to be his wife.''


    Joey didn''t want to watch any longer.


    This had nothing to do with her anymore.


    Seeing Aurora plead with her, she had thought of giving Sebastian a chance.


    Now it seemed unnecessary.


    She no longer wanted to be involved in this love triangle.


    Joey arrived at the hospital room, where Sophia had been waiting impatiently.


    Sophia grabbed Joey''s hand and cried, "Joey, you''re finally here. I thought you forgot about me."


    Joey smiled. "Of course not. There was traffic. Let''s go."


    Sophia had sprained her ankle and had been in the hospital for a few days. Joey was there to discharge her today.


    She hadn''t expected to witness such a dramatic scene.


    She picked up Sophia''s luggage and walked out, listening to the hospital staff gossiping.


    Sophia curiously asked, "I heard someone was trying to jump off the roof. Did you see it? Who was it?"


    Joey replied calmly, "Isabe."


    Hearing this name, Sophia was instantly furious. "Did that douchebag Sebastian go to save her again? Joey, I''m telling you, even if he begs, you mustn''t be with him. With Isabe involved, you two will never reconcile." Joey smiled faintly. "No, we ended a long time ago. Get in the car. My dad made your favorite meal."


    Sophia immediately smiled. "Mr. ckwood is so good to me. I''ve been eating on set for the past two months, and I really miss his cooking."novelbin


    They drove home, where Julian was waiting in the yard.


    He looked at Joey with concern. "Did you see what happened at the hospital?"


    Joey nodded lightly. "Yes, I saw it."


    Walking over, Julian gently ruffled her hair. "Joey, I won''t force you to choose, but I want you to know that no matter what, as long as you turn around, I''ll be here waiting for you."
