The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

The next day, it was very hot outside. It was approaching noon when Yolanda suddenly got a call in the middle of a facial massage in an upscale beauty salon. "Hello, who is it?" She picked up the phone impatiently.

"It's me!" There came a voice from the other end of the phone that made her jump.

"You...are not mad. I knew it." Yolanda was shocked to hear Joey's voice.

"The Sky Café, you have ten minutes before I leave." Joey hung up the phone.

Yolanda was left with a solemn face. She quickly washed the product off her face and rushed out of the salon.

Fortunately, the beauty salon wasn't far from the café where Joey had agreed to meet her. She arrived at the cafe within ten minutes.

As soon as she walked into the café, she caught sight of Joey sitting at the window.

Joey was wearing a white T-shirt and blue cropped jeans. Her long hair hung down over her shoulders and she didn't wear any makeup. She looked so pure and innocent, except that she was a little pale.

Yolanda was surprised. She had to admit that Joey looked all the more endearing.

"You're not crazy!" Yolanda walked up to Joey with a resentful face and fierce eyes, as if she wanted to eat Joey alive.

Joey looked up at her calmly, "Yeah, I'm not crazy. Sorry to have let you down."

Yolanda was suddenly irritated by Joey's calmness and ease. When she thought of how Joey had pretended to be crazy and nearly bitten off her finger at the hospital, she wished she could go up and slap Joey hard right now. But she refrained from doing anything beneath her dignity in public.

Yolanda took a deep breath and said through clenched teeth: "Go ahead. Why did you ask me out?"

Joey said without haste, "I know you've been trying to get back with Allen, but there's no way he'll ever take you back as long as I'm around, unless...I leave him first."

"What do you mean?" Yolanda was intrigued, "Are you...going to leave him?"

Joy nodded, "Of course, I'll leave him on one condition."

Yolanda asked, "What is it?"

"I want half a million dollars, not a penny less." Joey said with a straight face.

Yolanda smiled sarcastically, "Oh, Joey Lederman, It seems I've overestimated you. You're nothing but a gold-digger. If I had known that money was all you wanted, I wouldn't have bothered to team up with Chance and Ben Hawk to kill your baby. OK, it's a deal. I'll give you half a million dollars. But I want you to swear that you will never appear in front of Allen ever again."

"Okay, I swear." Joey nodded coldly without the slightest hesitation.

However, Yolanda shook her head and her voice was malicious, "I want you to make a solemn oath."

"All right." Joey held up three fingers without thinking and said coldly, "I'm making an oath not to see Allen ever again. If I break my oath, may God punish me."

Yolanda smiled with satisfaction. She took out a blank check from her bag and wrote out the check for half a million dollars. She swung the check in Joey's face and sneered haughtily, "Take the money and get out of here!"

She turned gracefully and left the café with her head held high, like a proud peacock.

Joey looked coldly at Yolanda's back as she walked away and slowly took out a recorder from behind.

Yes, Yolanda wasn't the only one who could record a conversation.

She had thought that it would be difficult to get Yolanda to confess to the miscarriage. What she hadn't expected was that Yolanda was so momentarily overcome with complacency when she learnt of Joey's willingness to leave Allen that she had easily confessed her crimes. Great, she got the evidence. Joey picked up the check and stood up nonchalantly. She walked out of the café and got in a red Ferrari that had been parked outside the café.

Philip and Sarah were waiting for her in the car.00000
