The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 96

Mrs. Linderman face darkened and she stood up to open the door.

“Mom…ah…”

The door opened. Joey looked up and her mother slapped her hard in the face.

“You little ungrateful daughter and sister, get your ass in here.”

Joey was slapped by Vivian too. Vivian grabbed her arm, dragged her into the house and slammed the door.

“Mom…”

Joey touched her burning face and looked at her mother in disbelief.

She was heartbroken. Her mother had punished her physically for many times since she was a little girl. But her mother had never slapped her so hard before. She found the expression on her mother’s face horrifying.

Vivian gloated over Joey’s physical suffering. She shrugged and put on a provocative smile, “My dear sister, I told you to give me the job and you wouldn’t. Now this is what you deserve.”

Joey laughed silently and pitifully. She stared at her mother like a hurt animal, “I should know better than to believe that you would care about me. You just pretended to care about me to get me back home and you hit me because you’ve believed everything Vivian had told you. How could you be so partial?”

Mrs. Linderman frowned, “You sister is younger than you and she needs an opportunity after graduation. As her sister, you despised her and refused to help her. I slapped you to remind you who I’m. I’m your mother.”

Joey shook her head. If Vivian had been nicer to her during the interview, she might have considered offering Vivian a lower-level position as a clerk in the company where she could work hard for future promotion. Unfortunately, Vivian had been too proud and ambitious to sit down and have a nice conversation with Joey.

Joey was confident that she had never owed anything to Vivian in the past. Besides, Vivian had been cheating with her fiancé. She believed it wouldn’t be necessary for her to be nice to Vivian anymore.

“It wasn’t that I wouldn’t give her the job. She isn’t qualified enough for the job. Mom, you’re so partial.”

Joey slowly put her hand down, and stared at her mother with indifference. Now she was utterly disappointed with her sister and her mother.

“You’re insane to speak to me in this way.”
