The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 366

Three days later.

In a delicate box of a high-end café, Joey was sitting alone, moving a cup of coffee around boringly with her left hand. Her right hand was knocking at a folder putting next to her. Now she was cheerful and feeling at ease. Though the man she was waiting for didn't show up for a long time, she was still in a good mood.

Finally, someone was knocking at the door. Led by the waiter, Paige, dressing like a dowager, walked into the box like a proud peacock and sat down opposite Joey.

"You have been late for half an hour!"

After the waiter closed the door, Joey raised her eyes, and said to Paige with a meaningful smile.

"You should be grateful for me being here."

Paige moved her slightly stout body to sit more comfortably and looked at Joey scornfully.

When she received Joey's call for a meeting, she didn't plan to accept it. But when she reminded that Lillian poisoned Joey and almost killed her, she was worried that Joey would question her about this. After long consideration, she accepted the invitation reluctantly, trying to figure out what was in Joey's mind.

Confronting the arrogant Paige, Joey was calm and threw the folder in front of her, and then she said, "I hope you can keep your head held high like now after you read the files."

Paige was frown slightly and said, "What's this?"

She didn't pick it up and opened it immediately.

"Just take a look and then you will know."

Joey smiled brighter.

Paige started to feel perturbed. After hesitation, she picked up the folder and opened it slowly. When she saw the files clearly, she was stunned and her face turned pale. She could hardly keep her legs. With a clap, the folder slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

What a surprise. The secret she had been keeping for thirty years was discovered now.

Looking at her expression, Joey said nothing but raised the cup of coffee and had a taste.

"How dare you investigate… No, all of these aren't authentic. They are made up by you…"

Paige was shocked, and the muscle in her face twitched. But she still pretended to be calm and said, "If you publicize the files, Allen would be the one that hurt most. If you really love him, how can you have the heart to ruin him?"

Joey wasn't moved and said, "If you had said this four years ago, I would have been stirred. But now I only feel hilarious. Because if I can't get him, I would rather ruin him."

Joey tried to make herself sound vicious, but only she knew that she would never hurt Allen at any time. Today, she had to say so, or Paige wouldn't subject to her.

Eventually, Paige couldn't remain calm anymore. Her hands started to shiver but she was still struggling, "Even if I consent, my husband won't…"

"Don't worry. I can handle him."

Joey interruptted her and said, "All you need to do is nod."

Paige closed her eyes helplessly and said, "Fine, I won't involve in the things about you and Allen, but you need to hand over the original files and all the copies to me."

Joey looked at her with a smile and said, "Bullcrap. If I hand over everything to you, will you keep your promise? Anyway, as long as you abide by the agreement we make today, I will keep all the secrets until I die."
