The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 385

"You know best what you are thinking."

Chance did not know Joey had taken care of Lillian on the way. Paige did not tell him either. Besides, he had been prejudiced by first impressions that Joey, a stepmother, would not be good to Lillian. So, he continued to say harshly, "I know what you want to do when you get back to the Charles family this time. But I did not expect you even to do harm to a child. Are you still that Joey I once knew? Now, you are no different from Yolanda, and are even more abominable. You used poisonous snakes to harm people. You should be glad that Lillian is fine this time, or..."

"Or what do you want to do?"

Joey flared with anger. For Chance's arbitrary behavior, she did not even want to explain it. She would only explain to those who were worthy of her explanation. Chance were never worthy of it. Since he had thought so, Joey wouldn't bother arguing with him. In short, she was worthy of her heart.

Chance obviously did not expect Joey to be so justified after the "bad" thing she did was "exposed". He was even angrier, grabbed Joey's arm, and stepped closer, saying maliciously, "Don't think that with Allen behind you, I can't do anything to you. Four years ago, I could do something to you. Now, I can still do it. So, don't annoy me!"

Hearing Chance even dare to mention what happened four years ago, Joey burst into anger, shook off his hand, and glared at him fearlessly, "How dare you mention what happened four years ago! Chance, it seems that you have not understood that I, Joey, am no longer what I was four years ago. You want to harm me? Come on. You should have a clear estimation of yourself. Ben was imprisoned. John brought his family to ruin. Yolanda went abroad in a mess. They are all your example. You are still standing here as a hospital director because I haven't taken a shot at you yet. So, don't be so self-righteous because of my tolerance."

Since returning home, all the things happened one by one. The misunderstanding that she and Allen were brother and sister who had the same father but different mothers made Joey exhausted for a long time. So, she had not been able to deal with Chance. Unexpectedly, this made Chance, the sinister snake, more and more impenitent.

Therefore, facing Joey's challenge, he was much more confident than Ben, John and Yolanda.

For him, Ben was just an upstart who became rich by taking women's money, and had no any foundation. John just inherited his family fortune. Even if his family was wealthy, it was just a merchant. Yolanda was not worth mentioning. She was just a canary that had lost the shelter of the tree. Without Taylor, her high-ranking father, and the approval of Martin, her brother who was a senior colonel, she had nothing but an identity as a member of the Moore family to fool others.

In the face of Chance's arrogance and invincibility, Joey just smiled, "Alright. The more confident you are now, the more delighted I will be when I defeat you!"
