Chapter 205
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Chance was just being hypocritical. Apparently it was all part of Yolanda and his plan. But it was necessary for him to play the convincing part of Allenâs loyal friend. Or it would be too bad if George Charles found out that something was wrong George Charles was obviously a man of his own mind. Chanceâs simple last-minute advice didnât have much effect on him. He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a straight face, âAllen is getting engaged to her tomorrow, and I would never allow her to get engaged to my son carrying another manâs child. It would be a disgrace not only to Allen, but to the Charles family. Besides, as you said, itâs just a possibility. Itâs not certain that something bad will happen to her. She should have known how risky it would be from the moment she moved into the Charles house. If she took the risk, why shouldnât I?â
Chance went silent and said nothing more.
The sky was getting dark outside, and colorful lights gradually lit up the night sky of the city.
Just then, Chanceâs phone rang.
Chance said apologetically, âUncle Charles, Iâm going out to take the call.â
George Charles nodded, âGo ahead.â
Chance turned off the ringtone as soon as he went outside. No one was calling him. It was just an alarm clock he had set as a good excuse to get away from George Charles temporarily to make a very important call.
He was going to call Allen, of course, but he wasnât going to tell Allen to come to Joeyâs rescue. He was going to ask Allen out for a drink at the Elsner Club tonight.
Allen actually had gotten off work, but he was still sitting in his office, because he didnât want to go home. The thought of Joey lying to him this morning about having gone to see Ben Hawk behind his back was infuriating. But he couldnât lose his temper, because he was afraid that it would stimulate her emotionally.
In this case, Chanceâs call couldnât have come at a better time. Allen agreed without the slightest hesitation. He even told Chance to ask Martin to come along.
He had spent most of his spare time keeping Joey company these days. He couldnât even remember how long it had been since heâd gone out drinking with his best friends.
Allen went to the Elsner Club in a fit of pique.

Yolanda was dressed to the nines today. She was wearing a purple V-neck dress, which perfectly showed off her most sensual breasts and long legs.
In the soft color light, every inch of her fair skin seemed to radiate seductive luster, which made her all the more tempting than ever.
âYolanda...â Allen froze for a second, but he quickly looked away and frowned, âWhy are you here? Where are Chance and Martin?â
Yolanda was a little disappointed that Allen had not been seduced by her beauty. She stood up and walked up to him. She said coquettishly, âAllen, just the two of us tonight, ok? Iâve missed you so much these years.â
She wrapped her arms round his waist, trying to nestle in his arms.
âYolanda, donât do that!â
He grabbed Yolanda by the shoulder and pushed her away. He took two steps back and said seriously, âIâm getting engaged tomorrow. Stop fooling around, will you? We broke up a long time ago. Youâre an excellent girl, and Iâm sure you will find a better man than me.â
âNo, I donât want any other man. All other men are wimps, and none of them is better than you. All I want is you.â
Yolanda leaned forward to hug him again and said affectionately, âAllen, I know it was my fault, I shouldnât have left you to go abroad to study. Now Iâm back, and Iâm here for you. Please donât push me away. Why donât we start over?â
She had dated several men in the past four years since she left Allen, but they were all overshone by her first boyfriend Allen who was an outstanding young man in terms of both family background and personal conditions. She had found her unable to fall in love with any other man.
What goes around comes around. In the end, she had to admit that Allen was the best and the most ideal boyfriend she could ever have. So she would never let him go.
She was willing to go for anything that she really liked at any cost, and it was one of her most important principles of life.
