The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 237 Her Trick

In her second month of marriage, Yolanda had claimed she was pregnant, saying that the baby had

been conceived in the hotel room on the night when Allen got drunk at the Elsner Club.

Therefore, even though Allen had never slept with Yolanda after marriage, she had managed to give

birth to their child to secure her position as Mrs. Charles and the mayor’s wife.

At the Reston Hotel, when Joey finally opened the door and emerged with Philip, she found Allen, who

had been waiting at the door the whole night, was red-eyed. Always a clean and tidy man, his chin was

now covered with fine stubble, which made him look haggard and worn.

Joey felt sorry for him, yet she pretended nothing had happened and said indifferently, “Mr. Charles,

good morning, why don’t we start by talking about the investment in medical devices today? I wonder

which hospital you would recommend we visit?”

Allen looked up at her with painful eyes, but he couldn’t utter a single word of reproach. He took a deep

breath and forced a smile, “How about the Champion Hospital? It’s a private hospital, but it’s one of the

best hospitals in our city, excellent in many aspects, such as medical skills, equipments and

environment.”

The Champion Hospital was the private hospital founded by Chance.

Joey was calm, “Since it is a very good one, let’s go and have a look.”

The little hesitation left in her heart had vanished because of what he just said.

It seemed that he was deeply convinced that the loss of her first child had nothing to do with his father

or Chance. He was unaware that when she heard him bragging about how good Chance’s hospital

was, all she could think of was her unborn child. The tragic death of her baby had been a bloody and

painful nightmare for her over the years.

However, Allen’s proposal suited her perfectly.

The reason why she had decided to take advantage of the influence of Philip’s family to invest in

medical machinery in the city and specialize in the treatment of vegetative patients was self-evident.

Allen just didn’t know her intention.

Joey, Allen and Philip got into the elevator and went down to the first floor. They walked out of the

hotel, and Ms. Carol was already waiting at the door in the car.

After getting into the car, Joey suddenly asked, “Did you tell Chance we’re visiting his hospital now?” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Allen knew the question was addressed to him. He answered, “I told him about it yesterday.”

While waiting at the airport at noon yesterday, he had learnt from Ms Carol that Miss Zoey had a batch

of medical equipment specialized in the treatment of vegetative patients, and quickly decided to call

Chance and asked him to make preparations in advance and wait for him to take Miss Zoey to his

hospital for a visit.

But he hadn’t expected that Miss Zoey was actually Joey.

“Did you tell him about me?”Joey asked again. It was what she really cared about.

It occurred to him that he had forgotten to tell Chance about it.

All he could think about was Joey since the moment he had met her at the airport after four years. He

had hardly thought of anyone else. He had certainly been too distracted to tell Chance about the true

identity of Miss Zoey in advance.

“I didn’t. I’ll give him a call.” He was honest. He took out his phone and tried to call Chance.

Chance had helped him a great deal in looking for Joey after she was gone. Now that she was back

and going to visit Chance’s hospital, Allen thought he really should have told Chance about it

beforehand, or Chance would certainly be shocked to see Joey as he had been at the airport

yesterday. It would be too bad if Chance were so stunned that he lost his control, which would probably

affect the investment.

Joey was no longer the gentle and submissive girl as before. She was now like a hedgehog covered

with long and sharp spines. She was aggressive and decisive. More importantly, she didn’t mind

hurting others at the expense of hurting herself.

She had been cold-hearted enough to put him through so much suffering last night.

Joey stopped him before he could call Chance, “You don’t need to tell him now. I’ve known him for a

long time. I believe he’ll be very surprised and happy to see me back.”

She knew Chance would certainly be surprised to see her after living with a guilty conscience for years.

No one knew better than Chance how she had lost her child and what she was coming back for.

If he saw her return with the medical equipment that would determine the fate of his vegetative mother,

he would certainly know her intention at once. She just wanted to see his reaction at that moment.

She was dying to see it when he realized what was going on.

This was the day when she truly set out to avenge her lost baby.
