The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 108 Her lie was exposed

“Mom…are you really my mother?”

Joey leaned against the wall and fell down on her knees in desperation. She closed her eyes and tears

were running down her cheeks.

Joey doubted it more than ever.

Mrs. Linderman had been explicit about her dislike or even hatred for Joey. Joey couldn’t get the idea

out of her mind. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Chance, who was hiding at the end of the corridor, had watched it all.

He touched his chin and said to himself, “A mother could be so cruel to her children, how strange it is!”

It seemed that Joey’s question could only be answered by him.

As a doctor, he knew it better than anyone else that DNA was the most effective way to find out

whether they were mother and daughter.

At the moment, Mr. Linderman, Mrs. Linderman and Joey were all at the hospital. It would be an easy

job if he wanted to secretly collect their DNA samples, such as hair.

Chance smiled, turned around and walked away.

Joey didn’t stay long at the hospital, because she had to go back to work this afternoon.

Lily had apparently learnt her lesson after the lecture this morning. When Joey went back to the office,

she had already prepared the attendance record and taken the initiative to share the most important

information in it with Joey.

When Joey found that Vivian hadn’t clocked in, she immediately told Lily to call the secretary office of

the general manager to ask whether Vivian had come to work.

They were told that Vivian had left.

Joey couldn’t help shaking her head in disappointment. Vivian’s arrogance this morning had really

given her the impression that her sister had made up her mind to work hard. Now she knew she had

overrated Vivian.

Time flew when there was no one in the office to give her a hard time. Four hours later, Joey got off

work and went straight to the hospital to see her father again.

Only this time, she found the clinic was crowded.

There were Mrs. Linderman and the attending doctor Chance outside the ward. Vivian and Ben Hawk

were there too. But she was shocked to see Martin and Allen.

She almost fell down because of fear.

It was over. Ben Hawk and Allen Charles had met each other. Martin showed up here too. She was

afraid that Allen had probably learnt everything from Martin or Ben Hawk.

Joey nearly fainted, because her world was falling apart.

At the very moment, Ben Hawk and Allen were glaring at each other like a pair of sworn enemies. If it

hadn’t been for Mrs. Linderman and Vivian trying to stop Ben Hawk from jumping onto Allen, and

Martin and Chance doing the same to Allen, they must have had gotten into a fierce fight.

Almost all of them froze for a second when they saw Joey.

“Baby!”

“Joey!”

Allen and Ben Hawk shook themselves free from their companions almost simultaneously, and walked

toward Joey side by side.

Joey took a step backward and subconsciously had the urge to run away.

However, her hands were respectively grabbed by them almost at the same time.

“Get your hands off my baby!”

Allen suddenly punched Ben Hawk’s left arm with which the latter was grabbing Joey’s hand. He was

bursting with rage, like a possessive and protective male lion.

“You’re the one who should get your hands off my fiancée. She’s not your baby or whatsoever.”

Ben Hawk didn't budge. He pinched Allen’s left arm with all his might, trying to thwart him with great

pain.

Caught in the middle, Joey was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

But she knew she had to calm down as soon as possible. If she blew it, her relationship with Allen

would be over.

She took a deep breath to recollect herself. She raised her eyes to look at Ben Hawk indifferently and

said coldly, “Ben Hawk, I’ve broken off my engagement with you. It’s over between us. Get your hands

off me!”

Ben Hawk’s eyes were red with anger, like a raging beast, “Broken off our engagement? It was just

your idea and I didn’t agree to do so. You will be mine forever, no matter what.”

Allen laughed sarcastically, “I just saw your so-called engagement papers. It’s not legally binding at all.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve agreed or not, Joey can break off your engagement at will. If you keep

bothering her, I’m warning you, you will end up in prison.”
