The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 97 A chaotic scene

Mrs. Linderman said disapprovingly, “It was your fault that your fiancé moved on to someone else. How

could you blame anyone else? I’m glad it’s your sister; otherwise some other woman would steal him

away. Aren’t you happy that Ben will still be a part of our big family?”

Joey was speechless.

It was total nonsense!

She finally realized how partial, mean and unreasonable her mother had been.

She closed her eyes and sighed. Anyhow, it didn’t matter anymore.

When she opened her eyes again, she calmly signed the paper.

Her mother instantly put on a big smile on her wrinkled face. But she found it hard to take it back

because it was held tight by Joey.

Joey started at her and asked word by word, “Mom, tell me, am I really your daughter?”

That was all she wanted to ask at the moment.

She had treated Joey more poorly than Vivian since they were little girls. Vivian had suspected it, so

had Joey.

Joey had never been brave enough to ask the question until today.

Mrs. Linderman froze, and she instantly became very spiteful, just like when Vivian had asked her the

same question.

She looked at Joey’s annoyingly beautiful face and suddenly had the urge to destroy her. To destroy

Joey, she had to tell the long-hidden truth.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Mr. Linderman showed up at the door with an angry Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

face.

“Honey…”

Mrs. Linderman was surprised to see him, “Didn’t you…go grocery shopping?”

In order to force Joey to break off her engagement with Ben today, Mrs. Linderman had deliberately

sent him away, because she knew he had loved Joey too much to allow her to do such brutal things to

Joey.

“I’m glad I forgot to bring any money and had to come back. Otherwise how would I know you’re so

cruel and selfish with Joey?”

Mr. Linderman glared at Mrs. Linderman with red eyes. He was angry and disappointed. Having been

standing outside the door, he had heard everything.

He turned around to stare at Vivian, “And you, you hooked up with your sister’s fiancé, and wasn’t

ashamed about it at all. I’m ashamed of the fact you’re my daughter. You went to school for nothing.

Get out of my house.”

He slapped Vivian hard in the face.

Vivian hadn’t expected that her father would hit her. She fell down on the floor, totally shocked.

Mrs. Linderman and Joey were too shocked to respond.

Mr. Linderman had always been a loving good-tempered father in the past. He had never shouted at

his daughters since they were little girls.

“Dad…did you slap me? You slapped me…”

Vivian touched her burning face and looked at her father in disbelief. She suddenly turned around to

yell at Joey with resentment, “It’s you. It’s your fault that Dad hit me. I’m going to kill you!”

She screamed and quickly got up off the floor. She pounced on Joey like a wild animal.

Joey hadn’t expected that Vivian would vent her anger on her. Vivian grabbed her around the neck with

all her might and pressed her hard against the wall.

Vivian was insanely jealous. She couldn’t believe that her gentle and loving father would hit her for

Joey. She wanted to kill Joey right now. She was tightening her grip on Joey’s neck.

“Get…off…me…”

Joey found it hard to breathe. Her face was purple and she felt terrible in her chest. She could barely

finish a sentence.

“Vivian, you’re insane. Let go of your sister!”

Mr. Linderman was angry at Vivian hurting Joey. He rushed to them and tried to get Vivian off Joey.

“Don’t you dare to touch my daughter!”

Mrs. Linderman thought he was going to hurt Vivian. She instinctively pushed him hard from behind

and…
