The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 109

Ben Hawk’s face went pale when he was warned by Allen. Before Joey arrived, he had quarreled with Allen Charles for a while. He was told by Mrs. Linderman about Allen’s high social status. Thus he knew very well that it was more than a mere threat.

Mrs. Linderman, who had been watching it, panicked when she heard that Ben Hawk might be locked up in prison for harassing Joey.

Why had both Ben Hawk and Allen Charles shown up here? It was simple. Mrs. Linderman had planned it, because she wanted to break Joey and Allen up.

However, to her surprise, after Allen had learnt about Joey’s relationship with Ben Hawk, he was furious, but instead of abandoning Joey immediately, he still decided to stay and protect her. There was no sign of a nasty breakup.

Things hadn't turned out as she had expected. She was surprised at Allen’s devoted love to Joey.

“Vivian, go and stop Ben. Stop fighting. Your father is still lying in sickbed inside. It is too noisy for a patient.”

Mrs. Linderman finally knew that she had made a mistake. She quickly nudged Vivian, asking her to smooth things over.

But Vivian was furious, “There is no need to stop them. He’s fighting another man because of Joey, not me. I’d rather slap him hard on the face right now. There is no way I would help him out.”

She turned around and limped away.

If her mother hadn’t called and promised a good play, she certainly wouldn’t have come here. Having been tortured by Quentin this morning, every single step was excruciatingly painful for her.

In such great pain herself, she was in no mood to care about anything else, not even Ben Hawk.

Vivian hadn’t realized that after she had met Quentin, she had stopped caring much about Ben Hawk like before.

Vivian’s departure suddenly overwhelmed Mrs. Linderman even more. It had been her plan, and now she had no idea how it would end.

She worked up the courage to step forward to persuade them, “Ben, Mr. Charles, we’re not strangers and there is no need to make a scene. Why don’t you stop fighting for my sake? Calm down. Let’s have a nice talk.”

A suggestion of truce was exactly what Ben Hawk needed right now. He immediately let go of Joey, but he still refused to admit his defeat, “You’re a mayor and you have a thing for another man’s ex-girlfriend. Haha, all right. You can have my leftovers. I’m afraid you would regret it someday.”
