Chapter 248 The Slow Torture
"I..."
Joey wanted to clear her doubts, but she didn't know where to start.
She was making a bold guess; she could be wrong. If things were not what she thought, she would be
embarrassed.
Vivian caught up with her when she hesitated. She was terrified as she looked at Joey. Vivian was
gasping for a breath; she looked hilarious.
When Joey saw the fear and terror in Vivian's eyes, she changed her mind.
As in, if you wanted to murder someone, will you give her a quick one? Or you preferred to torture her
slowly to death?
With the fraud Vivian had convicted, it was still fair enough to treat her with the latter option.
Hence, Joey took a deep breath to regain her composure. Then, she smiled lightly and said, "Nothing
much actually. I just thought that I lost something very important, but then I recalled I left it at home."
After that, she went back to her seat, calmly.
Vivian was relieved when Joey did not expose her. However, she felt uneasy when she was with Joey.
It was hard for Vivian to finish the meal as she was afraid that she might get exposed by Joey anytime.
After the meal, Vivian thought everything would be fine. Out of a sudden, Joey asked, "Samantha, I
wonder how old is your younger daughter?"
She asked a brilliant question. Chronologically, something was not right.
Vivian's face turned pale again when she heard Joey questioning. Instantly, Samantha answered, "She
is 27 years old." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon hearing that, Joey was flabbergasted.
27 years old? That was her age!
"When is her birthday?"
Joey's voice was trembling.
Samantha was not aware of her inner emotion, she said truthfully, "It is her birthday in five more days.
We are going to hold a birthday party, come join us!"
At that moment, Joey was confident that her bold guess was right. That was because, in five more
days, it was also her birthday.
For years, Joey had always suspected that she wasn't the biological daughter of Mrs Linderman.
However, she never delved further into it. After all, she might be right. She just needed some
confirmation.
Initially, she planned to visit Mr Linderman and Mrs Linderman once she finished her work. But then, it
seemed like there was an urgency for her to meet up with them right away.
Joey took a glance at Samantha. Then, she smiled and said bitterly, "What a coincidence, I was born
on the same day with your daughter."
Samantha was surprised, "Such a fate! That's rare!"
On the other hand, Vivian looked depressed.
She knew that Joey realized something fishy was going on.
Just when she thought Joey was going to expose her, Joey stood up and pointed at the door. Joey
said, "Excuse me. My friend is here."
Vivian looked at the direction in which Joey pointed. There came Sarah who rushed in from the
doorway.
The moment Joey left to meet her friend, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she finally
composed herself, she saw Martin giving her a suspicious look. It seemed like Vivian's eccentric
behaviour had drawn Martin's suspicion.
And again, Vivian was on tenterhooks.
On the other side, Joey finally reunited with her best friend, Sarah. They held hands tightly. They
looked at each other affectionately as they hadn't seen each other for four years.
Four years past, Sarah slimmed down. She still looked charming as always. However, Sarah, who used
to be fearless, looked depressed at the moment. She seemed to have some troubling situations that
bothered her for years.
Indubitably, Joey knew Sarah had some tough time.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much information about Sarah on Fiona. Hence, Joey wasn't aware of what
Sarah had been going through.
"Joey..."
Sarah looked at Joey with excitement, "You've changed so much! It is fantastic!"
Her voice choked with emotion.
Joey was doing so much better than Sarah. Despite that, there was no jealousy. Sarah was truly happy
for best friend.
"Sarah…"
Joey looked at Sarah in tears, she wanted to have some words with her.
Unexpectedly,Sarah's phone rang.
