"Ah, really? Well, looks like you have a type. It turns out that you prefer those kinds of women too," Monica said sarcastically. To her, Fiona and Ivy were the same—they were both home-wreckers.
"Shyla's an evil woman, and Joshua is corrupt. Do you believe that? He's definitely not going to have another term. He'll probably be investigated soon." Malcolm finally turned and faced her. He eyed her sharply.
Monica didn't know much about politics. All she knew was that Joshua was the current mayor of City A. He was dubbed as the best mayor in recent history considering the rate at which City A was developing.
However, Malcolm knew for a fact that the mayor was involved in some dirty businesses. It could put him in jail or destroy his family. That was one of the reasons why he didn't want his son to marry Shyla.
Upon hearing this, Monica widened her eyes in utter surprise. "Are... Are you serious?"
"When did I ever lie to you? Everything I say is true. Just watch and see what happens to Joshua."
Joshua can still get away with it for now because he has bribed officials. However, he can't hide from justice forever. Sooner or later, he was going to be exposed.
Being mayor was desired by many. It was a position that was highly coveted. Joshua could actually lose the job at any given moment.
"Why… Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Monica pursed her lips, feeling guilty.
"Would you have listened to me? You would still hate Fiona, wouldn't you? Honestly, you're too biased against the girl. She hasn't done anything wrong. I've already looked into her. Would I purposely allow my son to get harmed?" Malcolm asked. He wanted Monica to think about this.
Monica was lost in thought. After a while, she realized that she was wrong. Still, she wasn't going to apologize to Fiona as she didn't want to lose face. Besides, there were many other upper class young ladies in City A. Ethon didn't have to marry Shyla.
In the JR Hospital
A bodyguard had brought a lot of delicious food, including the beef noodles that Adrian loved.
Sitting on the bed, Adrian was so excited at the sight of the beef noodles that he cried, "Wow! Beef noodles!"
Mandy looked at him helplessly as she picked up her hair and tied it up. She stood up and opened the bowl of noodles for him.
Sitting on the other side, Fiona caught a whiff of the greasy soup, and it instantly made her stomach churn.
"Urgh… Urgh..." Covering her mouth, she stood up and dashed to the bathroom.
