True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Upon hearing this, Joyce's expression instantly turned cold.

"You want the inheritance? Fine, but first, set free my dad."

Marissa sneered, "Do you think I'm an idiot? If I let your dad go, how will I get the money?"

"Joyce, don't play games with me. Go handle the paperwork now and transfer all of Benjamin's assets to my name. Otherwise, I can't guarantee he'll live to see you."

Joyce tried to calm himself down, his voice lowering a bit.

"Marissa, if you want money, I can give it to you, but I won't give you a single cent of my dad's assets. That's his life's achievement."noveldrama

Marissa sneered, "But I only want his assets. I don't care about your money."

Hearing this, Joyce's eyes darkened slightly.

Then she said, "Fine, let me see my dad's condition first, and then I'll handle the paperwork."

Soon, Marissa sent over a video.

In the video, Benjamin was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes wide open, his mouth opening and closing as if trying to say something to Joyce. But he couldn't make a sound, sweating profusely in his anxiety. Seeing the video, Joyce immediately said, "Transferring assets isn't that simple. There are many procedures to follow and it will take several days. During this time, you must ensure my dad's safety." Marissa replied, "Joyce, you'd better behave, or your dad will die by my hand."

"My dad is in your hands. Do you think I wouldn't behave? Send me a video of my dad every day, and I'll update you on every step of the paperwork process. Only this way, neither of us has to worry." Marissa chuckled, "Alright, handle it quickly."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Joyce watched the video Marissa sent several times.

She felt that the environment where Benjamin was in seemed familiar.

Ryan also came over to watch. He stared at Benjamin's mouth movements and then said, "He's at the Blackwood Family's Old Mansion."

Joyce's eyes widened, "You can read lips?"

"Yes, over the past two years, to maintain my identity as Ryan, I not only learned to mimic voices but also learned lip-reading because Ryan was very good at it. In the video, he says 'Old Mansion.' And Marissa doesn't want money, she wants his assets. It's clear that it's not her who wants it but the person who she served for, and that person is Rachel."

Joyce suddenly realized, "Part of my dad's assets includes shares in the Blackwood Family. These shares are useless to Marissa but valuable to the Blackwood Family. And transferring assets is complicated and takes several days. This can completely stall me from going to court for Bianca, indicating that Marissa is being used by Kevin."

Hearing this analysis, Ryan immediately picked up his phone and said, "I'll arrange for someone to rescue him now."

But Joyce stopped him.

"Wait, they want my dad's assets, so I'll give them to her. But transferring assets requires a reason. Marissa wants to use her fake daughter identity to get them. Even if I transfer the assets to her, as long as I prove she's not my dad's real daughter, she won't get the assets. You send someone to infiltrate the Blackwood Family's Old Mansion and protect my dad in secret. We'll handle the transfer paperwork on the surface while actually going to Snowpeakia country to file a lawsuit."

Ryan frowned at her, "You want to deceive them?"

"Exactly. We'll secretly go to Snowpeakia country to file the lawsuit, have someone else handle the asset transfer paperwork in my name, and then, after the lawsuit, we'll catch them together." Hearing this plan, Ryan felt a bit sad.

Joyce would never have chosen this way in the past.

She would have prioritized rescuing Benjamin.

Now, she was like a strategist, planning the entire operation.

It was clear that in the past two years, she had gone through so much alone that she had become unflappable.

Ryan, feeling a bit heartbroken, hugged her to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll make sure Dad is safe."

Joyce looked up at him, "Be careful with your words. Don't call him 'Dad' so casually, or you'll expose your identity."

"I know. That's why I didn't want you to know the truth initially. I'll control my emotions."

With that, he took out his phone to arrange for someone to go to the Blackwood Family. On the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Marissa looked at Benjamin and sneered.

"Benjamin, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm your biological daughter. It's only right for me to get your assets. Don't worry, as long as Joyce behaves and transfers the assets to me, I won't hurt you." Benjamin's face turned red with anger.

Although he was in a coma, he was aware of everything that had happened recently.

He moved his lips, glaring at Marissa.

The veins on his forehead bulged.

He gripped the wheelchair's armrests tightly.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing him like this, Marissa laughed triumphantly.

"You waste now. You can't do anything. Even if the police come, what can they do to me? I'll just say you voluntarily transferred the assets to your biological daughter to make up for the lost years. You two can stay here and catch up." With that, she turned and left, slamming the door and locking it.

Marissa left triumphantly.

Inside the room, Benjamin glared at the door, slapping the wheelchair's armrests in frustration.

Susan sighed softly as she watched him.

"Benjamin, don't push yourself too hard. It's a miracle that you woke up. After being in a coma for two years, your tongue and vocal cords are stiff. Recovery will take time. I believe Joyce won't fall for her tricks." Benjamin's eyes welled up as he looked at Susan.

He had so much he wanted to ask her, but he couldn't make a sound.

He could only bite his lip hard.

Benjamin knew Joyce must be very anxious and trying to find a way to save him.

Over the next few days, Marissa received videos from Joyce showing the progress of the paperwork.

She also sent Joyce videos of Benjamin and they kept in constant contact.

Kevin, hiding in the shadows, watched all this with a smug smile.

"Bianca's trial is today. Which lawyer did they bring?"

Karl immediately replied, "Julian and Joyce are both tied up. Sebastian brought Mr. Whitmore, Joyce's teacher. He's a bit influential domestically, but abroad, he meant nothing. Sebastian made a foolish move out of desperation." Kevin sneered, "This case involves company secrets. He could only trust the closest person. Mr. Whitmore is his granduncle, so it's reasonable for him to bring Mr. Whitmore."

Karl said, "Let's just wait for this case to end in failure."

A few hours later.

Kevin's phone rang.

Seeing the international number, he knew it was an update on Bianca's case.

Confidently, he answered.

"Did they lose?"
