True Love Deserves a Second Chance

The man upon the other side sounded a bit nervous, "Bianca has been acquitted and can return to the country."noveldrama

Hearing this, Kevin's face immediately darkened.

"How is that possible? What exactly happened?"

"We were all deceived by Joyce. She had quietly come to the Snowpeakia country long ago to investigate Vanguard Group's criminal activities. She obtained evidence of them hacking into Winters Group's computers, stealing chip technology, and then manufacturing fake phones that caused explosions.

She also found evidence of Vanguard Group using business alliances as a pretext to siphon funds from other groups.

These pieces of evidence are enough to put Vanguard Group in crisis. It's the largest tech industry in the Snowpeakia country, and the government won't stand by, so they dropped the charges against Bianca."

Hearing this, Kevin gripped the wheelchair armrest tightly in anger.

The malice on his face grew more intense.

"Joyce, if you want to fight me, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

After saying this, he immediately ordered, "The Blackwood Family can take action now. I want Joyce to win the lawsuit but not live to see her father."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang again.

"A lot of police suddenly stormed into the Blackwood Family's place, rescued Benjamin, and arrested Marissa. It seems we've been tricked."

A series of blows made Kevin's anger surge.

He angrily threw his phone to the ground.

Joyce had won both matters and he didn't believe it was a coincidence.

She must have found Benjamin long ago but didn't rescue him immediately to deceive him.

Now that Bianca was no longer a hostage, he only had Randall left.

He had to quickly make Randall hand over the items to secure the true inheritance of the Guise Family.

On the other side.

Bianca's case had been highly publicized, and many domestic and international reporters gathered at the courthouse entrance.

As Joyce walked out, she was immediately surrounded by reporters.

"Ms. Blackwood, what is the outcome of this case? Can you tell us?"

Joyce calmly replied, "The case progressed smoothly and Ms. Winters can return to the country."

Hearing this, the domestic reporters waiting on the scene instantly cheered.

Because this case not only involved the interests of the Winters Group but also affected the interests of both countries.

Reporters swarmed forward, bombarding Joyce with questions like raindrops.

"Ms. Blackwood, this case was dragged on for two years, and you won it as soon as you took over. Is it because of your exceptional ability, or was it just a coincidence?"

"Ms. Blackwood, you took over this case midway. Is it because of your ex-husband Sebastian? Have you always been in contact with him? Do you still have feelings for him?"

"Ms. Blackwood, regardless of the outcome of this case, you will offend some big figures. Why did you do it?"

Joyce quietly looked at the reporters who kept asking questions.

Her cold eyes were calm and unruffled.

She had thought about these questions long ago, avoiding them was impossible.

At this moment, her assistant suddenly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Ms. Blackwood has important matters to handle back in the country. She will now answer some of the questions you are mostly concerned about." Instantly, the crowd of reporters fell silent.

Joyce's voice was clear and pleasant but carried an undeniable authority.

"Thank you all for your attention to this case. The reason I won this lawsuit is dominantly due to the preliminary investigation done by Julian. This is his credit, I merely represented him in court.

As for why I took on this case, the answer is simple: Mr. Winters' legal fees are very high, more than ten times the normal rate. As a partner in the law firm, I wouldn't pass up such a lucrative opportunity.

Regarding personal feelings, it has already passed away. Now, we only have a business relationship. Thank you for your attention. That's all for today. Please leave."

After saying this, she was about to walk through the crowd.

At this moment, a man stepped out of a black luxury car.

He held a bouquet of flowers and wore black sunglasses.

He was dressed in a silver-gray bespoke suit with a black tie.

With long, powerful strides, he walked towards Joyce.

Ryan pushed through the crowd and pulled Joyce into his arms.

He handed her the flowers, a smile playing on his lips, "Ms. Blackwood, congratulations."

Joyce was a bit surprised. How quickly had he changed roles?

Just now, he was Sebastian, sitting in the courtroom gallery, and now he had become the dashing Mr. Ward.

She accepted the flowers and smiled, saying thank you.

Seeing this, the reporters' curiosity grew even stronger.

Previously, rumors of Joyce having a new lover had trended online, but neither party had responded.

Now they were openly standing together.

Reporters began to ask, "Ms. Blackwood, are you and Mr. Ward dating? Were the previous rumors true?" Joyce glanced at Ryan, finally understanding his sudden appearance.

He wanted to confirm their relationship as a couple.

She smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Ward is now my boyfriend."

Hearing this, Ryan smiled and waved to the reporters, his voice warm and pleasant.

"Alright, that's all for today's questions. I need to take my girlfriend back to celebrate."

After saying this, he wrapped his arm around Joyce's shoulders and led her to the black car.

As the car door closed, he pulled Joyce into his arms.

Ryan lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Joyce was about to struggle when Ryan's low voice sounded in her ear.

"Don't move. They're taking pictures. If you want to confirm our relationship, we need to give them some evidences."

After saying this, he lowered his head and captured her soft lips.

The car slowly drove past the reporters.

The half-open window perfectly displayed the scene to the reporters.

All the reporters immediately took out their phones and snapped photos from every angle.

It wasn't until the car had driven far away that Joyce pushed Ryan away.

"Ryan, you did it on purpose."

Ryan smiled and gently brushed her slightly reddened lips with his thumb.

"You won the case for Bianca. It's impossible for Kevin not to fight you. So, I need to protect you with this identity. We need to confirm our relationship as a couple."

Joyce looked at him, puzzled, "Why is Kevin afraid of you? Aren't you also a member of the Black Wind Society?"

Ryan brushed her cheek and said in a deep voice, "The Ward Family is protected by the Snowpeakia country' royal family. Half of the Ward Family's financial income goes to the royal family, so no one dares to mess with the Ward Family easily." "Then why did Ryan still have a car accident? Could the mastermind be someone from the royal family?"

Ryan's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"Ms. Blackwood, your keen insight and quick thinking are truly unmatched. I just gave you a hint, and you connected the dots.

As you guessed, Ryan was helping the royal family investigate a case from years ago, which involved the royal family's succession. That's why he was targeted.

I believe he found something, but I haven't been able to locate where he hid the evidence. That's why I joined the Black Wind Society to investigate further." Joyce's eyes darkened and she asked, "Is Ryan still alive?"
