The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey put down her cup and said slowly, "I know you own 12% of the Phoebus Company. I don't want anything else. I just want all your shares."

The Phoebus Company was the large real estate company Ben Hawk had founded during the past four years Joey had been gone. It had gone public in just four years and had become one of the best known companies in the city. There was no doubt that most of the money Ben Hawk had used to start his business was extorted from Fiona.

Now Ben Hawk was the president of a big real estate company that was worth a fortune. However, as a competitive man who had always tried to expand his company quickly, he had decided to divest himself of his shares to win support from various investors. Chance was one of the shareholders in his company.

But it was supposed to be a secret. After all, Chance was very close to Allen who was Ben Hawk's sworn enemy. Thus little had been known about the fact that Chance owned shares in Ben Hawk's Phoebus Company.

Therefore, Chance was stunned when Joey suddenly asked him to give up the 12% of his shares of the company to make a deal.

Chance frowned and looked at Joey in shock, "How did you know I own shares in the Phoebus Company?"

She knew exactly how many shares he owned in the company.

"It's easy. There is nothing like an absolute secret. There will always be traces of something once you have done it." Joey chuckled.

She knew about it because Fiona had carried out a detailed investigation.

After a pause, she continued, "Once you transfer your 12% shares of the Phoebus Company to me, my medical equipment will be all yours. Now I have only one question. Do we have a deal or not?"

By any measure, Chance would be better off in a deal that traded his 12% shares of the Phoebus Company for a batch of advanced medical equipment.

But what really scared him was her intention in doing so.

Why did she want shares of Ben Hawk's company?

She was apparently going after Ben Hawk next.

He pondered for a long while and finally nodded, "Okay, deal!"

He had never liked Ben Hawk. Ben Hawk had only approached Chance to invest in his company on account of the influence of Chance's family in the city. He decided to agree to Ben Hawk's proposal when he found it was a profitable investment. Since they only used each other for their own benefit, there was no integrity in such cooperation. Even if Chance transferred his shares to Joey, he didn't consider it a betrayal.

What he wanted most was to cure his vegetative mother as soon as possible. Nothing else mattered so much to him.

At this time, Chance wasn't aware that he had always been a villain who would "slay the lackeys when they've outlived their usefulness". He wouldn't admit that he and Ben Hawk were actually birds of a feather, which was true at least in Joey's eyes. The most effective way to deal with birds of a feather was, of course, to destroy them one by one.

Joey wasn't excited when he agreed to the deal. She said calmly, "Since you've agreed to it, why don't we sign the contract now? I've also brought the agreement of share transfer. If you think there is no problem with it, just sign it."

Her expression and tone were impeccable, but only she knew her heart was in turmoil now.

Fiona had been keeping an eye on Ben Hawk during the past few years. Although Fiona had been far away in Thailand, he had sent someone to watch Ben Hawk's every move.

When Ben Hawk split up his equity in order to expand his company, Fiona had been working secretly and buying up shares of the Phoebus Company with different accounts and identities. Now Fiona had accumulated as much as 30% shares of the company. Fiona had done all this because he had known that Joey would go back for revenge one day. Thus during the past four years when Joey was away, Fiona had been paving the way for her return almost every day.

He had been trying so hard to pave the way for her revenge.

Joey's gratitude to Fiona went beyond words. He had done too much for her as a friend.

Joey could only think of Fiona as a friend.

Fiona was a ladyboy queen, and his special profession had determined the special nature of his personal existence. He was biologically male, but he looked very feminine as a result of years of estrogen injections. He looked even more feminine than a real woman. His life was unique and it was hard for him to love someone.

Even he couldn't decide whether he should love a man or a woman.

Therefore, he couldn't tell the person with whom he had fallen in love. He didn't know how to confess his love to his beloved one. He could only help and protect her quietly.

Philip was actually very lucky in this regard. At least he could declare his love to her.0000000
