The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 164

Joey had expected Mrs. Charles to say that. Thus she was neither surprised nor angry. But she was surprised when Mrs. Charles claimed that Allen was the only son in the family. She subconsciously questioned it, “The only son? Doesn’t Allen have a younger brother Lawrence?”

However, before Joey could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Mrs. Charles who was excited and resentful now, “Don’t mention the bastard in front of me. My son Allen is the only legitimate heir in the Charles family. Lawrence is just a worthless bastard son of a slut mother.”

Joey was obviously stunned to hear it. She stared at Mrs. Charles with wide-open eyes.

Just then, Allen came out of the kitchen and heard what his mother had said. He frowned and said angrily, “Mom, don’t call Lawrence that. Lawrence is no longer a child. He’s a very successful businessman now. If anyone else heard you, what would they say about him? Besides, you promised my father to keep Lawrence’s true identity a secret.”

Mrs. Charles was reminded what a big mistake she has just made. It was an honest mistake nevertheless. She had always disliked Joey, and Joey indiscreetly had the nerve to bring Lawrence up, the boy she had hated most in her entire life. Thus in a fit of anger, she had blurted out.

She cleared her throat and tried to justify it, “There is no outsider here. Joey, you can keep a secret, right?’

Joey instantly nodded her head. She was anything but a gossiper.

However, Allen had lost his interest in cooking after his mother’s disclosure of the secret. Mrs. Charles knew her son very well. She had truly made a mistake. She told Joey to take good care of the baby, and soon left unhappily.

“Allen, isn’t Lawrence…your brother?”

After Mrs. Charles left, Joey was too curious to not ask. She certainly wouldn't tell anyone else the secret that Mrs. Charles had revealed, but it didn’t mean that she wasn’t curious about why Mrs. Charles had become so angry.
