The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 222

As soon as Joey got into the car, Philip started the car and drove her straight to the airport.

Sarah leaned closer to her and whispered, “Joey, what did you just say to Yolanda?”

Joey lowered her head and put the half-million-dollar check in Sarah’s hand, “This is a half million dollars, Sarah. A third for your brother’s medical treatment. You can leave John Walter now. Could you donate the rest of the money to the Children Foundation for me? Think of it as a prayer for my poor baby. Hope my baby will be born to a good family in the afterlife.”

Sarah was shocked by such a huge sum of money in her hand, “Where did you…get so much money?”

“I got it from Yolanda.” Joey said honestly.

Philip and Sarah were shocked。

“Joey…how could you…” Sarah looked at her in disbelief. She suddenly felt that Joey was drastically different from before.

“What? Are you saying I shouldn’t have taken her money?” Joey smiled, “I would never have done it in the past, but now... I’ve come to understand that sometimes one really doesn’t have to be so inflexible. Now that I’m leaving, I couldn’t just go away quietly and give her what she’s hoped for. Now, the half –million- dollar check is all I’ve asked of her, but in the future... she will pay more.”

She had never thought of pocketing the money from the moment she had asked Yolanda for it. She would never spend Yolanda’s money.

Philip and Sarah were surprised, because Joey had really changed a lot. But they didn’t see anything wrong with her sudden change. They found it exciting instead.

Sarah said nothing more because she genuinely approved of her doing so. She held Joey’s cold hands and said with sparkling eyes, “How could I possibly use Yolanda’s money if you don’t? This woman is disgusting. I will never touch her money. I will donate all the money to the Children Foundation for you. As for my brother, John Walter will help me. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

Joey nodded and said nothing more. She closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.

She couldn’t help thinking of how she had left the hospital.

She had made love to Allen last night, and both of them had fallen asleep exhausted.

When he woke up the next morning, he was so excited that he wanted to tell everyone that she was awake, but she stopped him.

She had told him a lie. She said she wanted to surprise everyone with the good news on her 23rd birthday tomorrow.

Allen had listened to her, as he had always done. He had planned to take the day off from work to stay with her, but she refused his offer. He had no idea of her plan to leave today. Besides, he had a full schedule in the office today, so he had reluctantly gone to work.
