The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 115 You’re not my sister anymore

Vivian was shocked at first when Joey slapped her. But soon she became furious.

“It’s none of your business. Who do you think you are to hit me?”

Vivian’s eyes were red with rage. She raised her hand to fight back.

Joey had expected it and stopped her hand in the air. She said coldly, “I slapped you because I wanted

to wake you up. Don’t you like Ben Hawk? Aren’t you engaged now? Then why are you fooling around

with another man in the company? What on earth do you want to do?”

“As I said, it’s none of your business. It’s my body and I can sleep with whoever I want. Don't expect

any other woman to be as conservative and outdated as you.” Though Vivian ground her teeth, she

tried her best not to provoke Joey any further. She was afraid that Joey would tell others about her

scandal if she went too far. In that case, she would be too embarrassed to stay in the company.

Joey shook her head. She couldn’t believe that Vivian had come up with such absurd excuses to justify

herself. She sighed helplessly, “All I can say is that you’ve become a terrible person from head to toe.

Don’t tell anyone that we know each other from now on. You’re not my sister anymore!”

After saying that, Joey turned around to leave.

“But you’ve not promised me not to tell anyone else about it.”

Vivian was persistent, standing in her way.

Joey smiled sarcastically, “Promise? I don’t think I'm obliged to promise you anything. And I’m not

interested to know who the man was, let alone telling anyone else about what you’ve done. I’m

disgusted with you.”

She ignored Vivian and passed by her as quickly as possible.

Quentin showed up when Joey was gone. He watched her going way and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He was much smarter than Vivian. Joey’s tone and expression suggested that she hadn’t really seen

his or Vivian’s face. But Vivian was too stupid to notice it. She had practically come clean herself. But

fortunately she hadn’t given him up.

“Come with me to the office!”

He grabbed Vivian’s arm and dragged her into the elevator. He was annoyed that they had been

interrupted while they were having a good time. Now the crisis was gone, he had to finish what had

been left undone. Moreover, he found it necessary to teach Vivian a lesson lest she give him up

someday.

Joey went to Chance’s clinic after work.

She was surprised to find Mrs. Linderman packing her suitcase gloomily and Mr. Linderman sitting on

the hospital bed expressionlessly with his own clothes on.

After one month’s hospitalization, her father had basically recovered.

“Dad, aren’t you discharging from hospital in three days? Why are you…”

Joey was quite surprised, because it was apparent that they were leaving.

Her father wasn’t surprised to see her. Joey had paid him visits everyday in the past month, while

Vivian had rarely come to the hospital.

It was easy to tell which one of them was a more loving daughter. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Mr. Linderman had seen it long ago, but he still couldn't help feeling broken-hearted when his

speculation was confirmed.

He looked up at Joey and sighed, “Since I'm fully recovered, I think it’s time for us to go back home in

the countryside today. We’ll leave you young girls alone. Take care of yourself.”

He would have checked out from the hospital ten days ago, if Chance, his attending doctor, hadn’t

suggested otherwise. Besides, he had been expecting Samantha to come to visit him again.

Unfortunately, he had waited for her for a month and she never showed up again.

He was greatly disappointed.

As for why he had decided to go back home, there were two reasons. The first one was that he wanted

to stay far away from Samantha to stop himself from wanting her again. The second was that Ben

Hawk had broken off his engagement to Joey and soon gotten engaged to Vivian, which was too much

for him to handle. He didn’t like the idea at all, but his wife had ignored his objection. Therefore, as they

say, “out of sight, out of mind”, he had decided to go back to the countryside to live a peaceful life.

Mrs. Linderman had refused to go back home at first, because she loved the bustle of urban life. She

didn’t want to go back to a quiet yet poor life at all. However, her husband had made up his mind and

warned that he would go back home alone, even if she decided to spend the rest of her life with Vivian

in the city.

Mrs. Linderman panicked when she learned that her husband would rather leave without her. After

spending a month in the hospital, she had come to realize that her daughter Vivian was actually selfish

and hypocritical. There was no way she would take good care of her mother in the following years.

After much thought, Mrs. Linderman had finally decided to go back to the countryside with her

husband, because she knew very well that he was the only one she could rely on in her old age.
