Chapter 146

Joey looked coldly at David who was lying on the floor with a bruised and swollen face beyond recognition and suddenly felt disgusted, because she saw in him no traces of the little chubby boy that she was so familiar with in her childhood. She turned around to look at the bright sunshine outside, and her voice was unprecedentedly cold, “Take him to my home, treat his wounds and...call the police!”

She wasn’t a cold-hearted girl, but the world has been so cruel to her. She was determined not to go easy on any of her enemies from now on.

One should be responsible for his mistakes.

David was bound to bear the consequence of his actions.

“No, no, Joey, don’t do that. I’m begging you...I don’t want to go to jail, please...”

David burst into tears in desperation.

Allen was surprised, too. As far as he could remember, Joey had always been a good-natured and sweet-tempered girl who was tolerant of others’

mistakes. But she was shockingly cold and decisive this time.

Yet he found her determined abhorrence of evil behaviors fascinating.

Therefore Allen gagged David’s mouth with a piece of cloth and untied the rope around his legs. He dragged David towards Joey’s home like taking a dog on a leash.

Many curious and gossiping villagers followed them all the way.

It was a mess when Joey and Allen arrived at home. In a fit of rage, Mr. Linderman was shouting at Mrs. Linderman while pulling her hair, trying to drag her out of the house.

“You troublemaking bitch, what did you do to Joey? Fortunately Allen showed up in time to stop it. Or I would sure kill you if something bad happened to Joey. I’ve turned a blind eye to whatever outrageous things you’ve done all these years. But I’m definitely not someone that you could wrap around your little finger. Now I’ve had enough of you, and I will never forgive you. I’m divorcing you, because I’d rather live and die alone than spend another second around you ruthless little bitch.”

Mrs. Linderman was physically no match to her husband. But she refused to get a divorce, crying out like a dying animal, “No, I don’t want a divorce.

Get off me, it hurts so much! You shameless bastard, don’t you think you’re too old to get a divorce? Ah, you’re tearing off my scalp, it hurts!”

When Allen Charles suddenly showed up last night, she knew her plan would fall through she would certainly be severely punished if he found out what she had done. She instinctively wanted to run away. But she was just a native rural woman, where could she go?”

The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me Chapter 145 She was reluctant to push him away Perhaps she would have to turn to her daughter Vivian in the city, but Allen Charles was the mayor of the city. In that case, it would be more of turning herself in than running away from the crime.

After much thought, she finally decided not to run away. In her view, she was at least Joey’s mother now, and Joey was always a soft-hearted girl who would probably forgive her if she begged Joey with a humble attitude.

But she had to deal with her husband first, in case he would encourage Joey to hold Mrs. Linderman accountable for what she had done. So when Mr. Linderm got up, she immediately went to him, and awkwardly and insincerely told him about how she had tricked Joey into going to David’s bedroom last night.

She had expected him to shout at her in anger at most and then decide not to make a big deal about it. However, her husband suddenly turned into a different person and beat her up. What was worse, he had decided to divorce her.

It was a shock for her. She was scared as hell. She had no choice but to refuse to leave the house.

When Joey and Allen showed up with the villagers, they were surprised by what they saw.

Joey immediately realized that her father must be revenging her after he learnt what Mrs. Lindnerman had done to her.

“Dad, stop!”

Joey rushed to him, “Dad, don’t so mad. Allen saved me in time and I’m all right. The doctor warned you about your conditions when you were discharged from the hospital last time. You’re not as strong as before, and can’t be angry, Dad!”

When Joey found her father beating her mother, she subconsciously cared about whether her father would get hurt by losing his temper instead of how badly Mrs. Lindnerman had been hurt.

Joey was probably unaware that deep in her heart, Mr. Linderman had always been more important than Mrs. Linderman, which was certainly caused by the fact that Mrs. Linderman had treated her very poorly these years.
