The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 239

“Thanks for asking. I’m completely cured now. I come to remember things in the past more and more clearly. No more hallucinations.”

Joey leaned back gently, sipped at her tea and said slowly, “So, Mr. Chance, why are you so concerned about my illness? Do you think I forget how you sent your men to push me into the operating room and tie me to the cold operating table? After the operation, you had the nerve to tell Allen that I had lost my baby because of my mood swings. Mr. Chance, what a clever way to throw the blame on me! I was so impressed by what you were capable of. I have to say, you were really good.”

She had struggled, pleaded and cried so hard. She was so scared and helpless, hoping that they would show mercy and let her go. But they didn’t.

None of them had even hesitated for a moment. Their indifference was colder than any of the medical equipment in the operating room. She would never forget that day, never.

Chance turned pale at her accusations. He couldn’t help clenching his fists.

Four years ago, when Yolanda came to him with the wicked plan against Joey, he knew it was in her best interest instead of his, but he had somehow decided to become a part of it.”

Perhaps he had subconsciously felt that, instead of watching Joey spend the rest of her life happily with Allen, he would rather hurt her and break them up, because he wouldn’t allow anyone else to get what he couldn’t have.

But he soon regretted it.

In the past few years, he had been helping Allen look for Joey everywhere like crazy. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he had been doing it for his best friend Allen, but only he knew that he had done it for himself.

After Joey was gone, he had realized that it was a blessing to see her in another man’s arms as long as she was happy.

He had found that it was a terrible ordeal for him when she was away.

She said, “Chance, it seems that you have no idea what’s going on now. Do you think it’s as easy to fool around as before? Turn yourself to the police? Testify against Yolanda? Well, you’re ridiculous. Everyone knows that your family, Allen’s family and Martin’s family have had the whole city under your thumbs. I’m afraid you’ll be released from jail soon, even if you’re locked up. Do you think I’m still the same girl who had been bullied by you as you wished? If you’re not sincere enough, I’m afraid there’s no need for us to continue this conversation.”

Chance’s face turned pale. She was right. It was exactly what he had planned to do. He had decided to say whatever she wanted to hear now and do whatever he wanted to do, as he had always done before, when he got hold of her medical equipments. It was a pity that she had seen through his plot.

“You’ve really changed a great deal in the past few years. All right, tell me, what do I have to do to gain your trust?” He stared at Joey with earnest eyes.

Looking at Joey who had changed so much, he was intrigued by her again. It was even more intense than four years ago when he had met her for the first time.

He had to admit that Joey was more attractive and charming than ever before. Damn it. His heart ached for her now and he couldn’t help wanting her again after four years.
