The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 110 She couldn't fall asleep

Mrs. Linderman smiled when she found Joey heartbroken.

It seemed that her plan had worked just fine.

Martin approached Joey and handed her a handkerchief.

Joey raised her head to look at him in tears. Suddenly she brushed his handkerchief away and said

resentfully, “Isn’t it what you’ve wanted? Now Allen has left me alone, are you happy?”

Martin was confused. It took him a while to realize what she was saying. He refused to take the blame,

“Do you think I told Allen about your relationship with Ben Hawk? Of course I didn’t.”

Although he had given Joey seven days for a full confession of her relationship with Ben Hawk, he had

become too soft-hearted to do such a cruel thing to her.

“If you didn’t tell him, how could you have shown up here with Allen?”

Joey didn’t trust him, because she couldn’t believe that her mother had actually done it.

“I went to Allen to play basketball this afternoon and he asked me to come along with him to visit your

father at the hospital. So I came here. Never mind, it’s all right if you don’t believe me. I don’t owe you

any explanation after all. Girls are trouble.”

Martin was getting angrier. He threw the handkerchief on the floor, turned around and left.

Joey watched him leaving angrily and began to doubt her speculation. Was it possible that…she had

really wronged Martin?

At the moment, Chance, who had been watching it silently, put on a wicked smile. They could fight

however they wanted. The louder, the better. It would work to his advantage anyway.

After the fight, Joey stayed at the hospital to look after her father until 8 o’clock in the evening. She

then rushed back to the villa she had shared with Allen.

As she had expected, Allen was nowhere to be seen there.

She threw herself into the sofa in the living room. Allen had gone home for dinner, but would it take two

or three hours?

However, she waited patiently until nine o’clock, ten o’clock, then eleven o’clock…

It was almost twelve o’ clock and Allen still hadn’t returned. He hadn’t even given her a call.

Joey couldn’t stand it anymore. She bit her lips and decided to call him.

“Hello!”

It took a while before the call was answered by Allen. His voice was low and hoarse.

“Allen...when are you coming home?”

Joey asked the question with a trembling voice.

It was silence at the other end of the phone. After quite a while, she heard Allen’s voice again, “My

parents asked me to stay for the night. I’m not coming back.”

Joey’s heart sunk and her eyes were instantly filled with tears, “Allen, are you mad at me? Why don’t

come back and hear my explanation? Ben Hawk and I…”

“We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Allen interrupted her with his deep voice, “It’s late, go to sleep! You have to work tomorrow.”

After he hung up, Joey still held her phone and stayed motionless for quite a while.

His indifference was upsetting for her. She’d rather hear him cursing her if he hated her very much,

because a cold war was always a bad sign for couples.

Joey couldn’t fall asleep for the entire night.

She had gotten used to falling asleep in his arms these days. Now she was left all alone in the big

house. She felt empty and scared. She tossed and turned in bed, but couldn’t fall asleep.

The next morning, she got up, looking terrible. But she put on some makeup and arrived at the office

early.

What she hadn’t expected was that Vivian had shown up for work today.

Joey was unaware that when Ben Hawk had gone back home straight from the hospital angrily, he had

found Vivian already at home.

Burning with rage, he had tried to vent his anger on her in the bedroom. However, Vivian had been hurt

by Quentin, and she was angry too. She certainly had refused to sleep with Ben Hawk and put up a

good fight.

But Ben Hawk had ignored her objection, and managed to... get his way. Thus Vivian had been raped

by two different men in the same day.

Vivian now hated Ben Hawk even more than Quentin.

After much consideration last night, Vivian had decided to continue to go to work at the CL Group,

because she had made up her mind to hook up with both Ben Hawk and Quentin. She believed it

would be the best way to get back at these two possessive perverts.
