The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 239 Intrigued by Her Again

“Thanks for asking. I’m completely cured now. I come to remember things in the past more and more

clearly. No more hallucinations.”

Joey leaned back gently, sipped at her tea and said slowly, “So, Mr. Chance, why are you so concerned

about my illness? Do you think I forget how you sent your men to push me into the operating room and

tie me to the cold operating table? After the operation, you had the nerve to tell Allen that I had lost my

baby because of my mood swings. Mr. Chance, what a clever way to throw the blame on me! I was so

impressed by what you were capable of. I have to say, you were really good.”

She had struggled, pleaded and cried so hard. She was so scared and helpless, hoping that they would

show mercy and let her go. But they didn’t.

None of them had even hesitated for a moment. Their indifference was colder than any of the medical

equipment in the operating room. She would never forget that day, never.

Chance turned pale at her accusations. He couldn’t help clenching his fists.

Four years ago, when Yolanda came to him with the wicked plan against Joey, he knew it was in her

best interest instead of his, but he had somehow decided to become a part of it.”

Perhaps he had subconsciously felt that, instead of watching Joey spend the rest of her life happily with

Allen, he would rather hurt her and break them up, because he wouldn’t allow anyone else to get what

he couldn’t have.

But he soon regretted it.

In the past few years, he had been helping Allen look for Joey everywhere like crazy. Perhaps in the

eyes of others, he had been doing it for his best friend Allen, but only he knew that he had done it for

himself.

After Joey was gone, he had realized that it was a blessing to see her in another man’s arms as long

as she was happy.

He had found that it was a terrible ordeal for him when she was away.

In the past four years, to make himself feel better, he dated a lot of women, and slept with most of

them. They were all young and beautiful, but none of them had ever truly appealed to him.

His heart had turned silent as a pool of stagnant water after she was gone. He had found it hard to fall

in love with any other woman.

Looking at Joey who was now sharp as a drawn sword, he finally realized that it would be impossible

for him to get hold of her medical equipments without paying a price today.

He took a deep breath and said heavily, “Joey, I know I’ve made a huge mistake in the past, and I’m

very sorry. Tell me what do you really want? If you give me the equipment for the treatment of

vegetative patients, I’m more than willing to turn myself in to the police and testify against Yolanda for

her conspiracy against you four years ago.” He had decided that he’d better come straight to the point

and come clean to her, because he didn’t like the way she stared at him and he was even more worried

that she would stab him in the back one day.

But he was wrong. Joey wanted more than just Yolanda.

She laughed. Her laughter was lovely, but it only sent shivers down his spine.

She said, “Chance, it seems that you have no idea what’s going on now. Do you think it’s as easy to

fool around as before? Turn yourself to the police? Testify against Yolanda? Well, you’re ridiculous.

Everyone knows that your family, Allen’s family and Martin’s family have had the whole city under your

thumbs. I’m afraid you’ll be released from jail soon, even if you’re locked up. Do you think I’m still the

same girl who had been bullied by you as you wished? If you’re not sincere enough, I’m afraid there’s

no need for us to continue this conversation.”

Chance’s face turned pale. She was right. It was exactly what he had planned to do. He had decided to

say whatever she wanted to hear now and do whatever he wanted to do, as he had always done NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

before, when he got hold of her medical equipments. It was a pity that she had seen through his plot.

“You’ve really changed a great deal in the past few years. All right, tell me, what do I have to do to gain

your trust?” He stared at Joey with earnest eyes.

Looking at Joey who had changed so much, he was intrigued by her again. It was even more intense

than four years ago when he had met her for the first time.

He had to admit that Joey was more attractive and charming than ever before. Damn it. His heart

ached for her now and he couldn’t help wanting her again after four years.
