Chapter 170

Allen finally didn’t ask any questions when he saw her helpless look.

He still remembered how they had suddenly broken up at the airport in Thailand when he had made a mistake by questioning her.

He had no idea that Joey had decided to break up with him for other reasons.

He didn’t go far. He was leaning against a column dozens of meters away and staring at Ben Hawk the whole time. He was undoubtedly ready to run to him and beat him up if he hurt Joey.

“I’ve nothing to say to you. What, are you going to threaten me again? I’m telling you, I’m not afraid...”

With Allen waiting for her not far away, she was more assured and confident.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Ben Hawk interrupted her with a wicked smile, “Do you think you could threaten me at this time? I heard that you’re getting engaged to Allen Charles this month. It seems that happiness is within your reach. There is no way you’re going to drag me down with you. Am I right?”

Joey was pale as paper.

Ben Hawk was right. She was very happy now, with Allen and her baby. She would hate to ruin everything. But the bastard came back to haunt her again. She could do nothing but make a compromise.

Ben Hawk laughed, “I heard that you’re pregnant. Is the baby...”

“It’s Allen’s baby.” Joey snapped.

Ben Hawk shrugged, “I didn’t say it’s mine. Why are you so nervous?”

He knew it wasn’t his.

He was driving her crazy, “Ben Hawk, what exactly do you want?”

There were plenty of prettier women out there. Why couldn’t he leave her alone?

“Of course I want you...to be unhappy.”

Ben Hawk’s eyes were cold. He didn’t want her to be happy with anyone else if he couldn’t get her, “See you at Phoenix Hotel, one o 'clock tomorrow.”

He turned around to leave.

“No!” Joey rejected him, “I’m not going anyway.”

She might end up with a worse fate than in the dark alley in Thailand if she went to the hotel.

Ben Hawk turned his head with a cruel smile, “You know the consequences if you don’t show up.”

He gave Allen a challenging look and left complacently.

Watching the monster going away, Joey’s knees suddenly felt weak.

Allen rushed to her and caught her.

“Baby, what’s wrong? What did Ben Hawk say to you?” Allen finally asked.

“He...I...”

Joey was pale. She looked at Allen’s earnest eyes and couldn’t come up with a lie.

Ben Hawk wouldn’t step back as long as she was happy. He knew Joey couldn’t bear the consequences once Allen knew the truth.

She was so exhausted and desperate now.

She had been living with a guilty conscience these days for keeping the secret from Allen.

How about...confess everything to Allen? Joey thought in despair.

She’d rather tell Allen the truth than go to see Ben Hawk at the hotel.

“Allen, there is something I have to tell you today. I...ah...”

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her belly. She had been infuriated by Ben Hawk, which must have affected the baby.

Allen was shocked. He quickly picked her up and rushed to Chance’s private hospital The baby was fine, but Joey had to stay at the hospital for observation for two days.

The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me Chapter 169 How embarrassing Mrs. Charles hurried to the hospital after she got the news. She wasn’t happy with Joey at all, “I told you not to go out. Why didn’t you stay at home and take care of the baby? You know, you shouldn't do anything that might hurt my grandchild. I’m warning you, you’ll never marry into my family if anything happens to the baby.”
