The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel 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.”
