The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Although Joey didn't know at this time, Vivian felt so guilty that her legs were shaking. She almost couldn't stand steady.

Seeing Vivian staring at Joey without blinking, Samantha reached out her hand to Vivian and sat down beside her. "Why are you staring at others like this? Let me introduce, this is Miss Joey, a friend of Martin's." Samantha looked at them affectionately. "Joey..."

Vivian murmured in a daze. Before Joey could even speak up, she quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Mom, I need to go to the bathroom coz I came in a hurry."

Meanwhile, Vivian kept winking at Joey, implying Joey to go with her.

"Sure, I was about to go too, let's go together." Joey answered kindly even though she was very confused.

Therefore, in the eyes of Samantha and Martin, the two left their seats politely.

Vivian checked every stall immediately right after she entered the bathroom. After making sure that they were alone, she locked the door of the bathroom. Finally, she turned her head and stared at Joey. "I thought you have left already." She said angrily while not moving an inch. "Why did you come back?"

Damn, she looked way more noble and breathtaking than before. It made her madly jealous. But at the same time, she couldn't help being worried.

Joey indifferently held her arms and looked at Vivian coldly. Joey stared at Vivian until she made her so guilty that her legs trembled again. "You are scared! Are you scared of me? I haven't done anything to you yet, have I?" Joey said slowly,"

Noticing that she was scared by Joey's calm gaze, Vivian was very ashamed and angry. Vivian stared at Joey fiercely and said in a sharp voice. "I am scared of you? Give me a break! I have always defeated you since childhood. How could I be afraid of you? I'm just surprised. Since you were gone silently back then, why weren't you gone for good? What are you doing back here? No one wants you here. I suggest you go back to wherever you came from. Just in case you won't be bullied to death. I don't want to be embarrassed by you."

Joey was not moved at all facing Vivian's harsh mean words. She looked at Vivian with a blank face, as if watching a clown juggling in front of her.

After Vivian was done with her nonsense, Joey raised her hand to stroke her chin, and said leisurely. "From childhood to adulthood, your voice would be extremely loud when you feel guilty and insecure. It was so loud, as if only your words made sense. But what you don't know is that you are giving yourself away by consciously protesting your innocence. Now, you keep telling me to disappear, but you are afraid of my existence at this moment. Do you know that I can see right through you when you speak, Vivian? You used to win, but not because you were tough to beat. I was letting you win. From now on, I will be the one who win. And I will defeat you till you have nothing to lose!"

Joey took a step closer as she spoke.

Staring at Joey, who was a head taller than herself, Vivian immediately looked defeated. Every time Joey took a step forward, she subconsciously stepped back until her back was pressed against the cold wall of the bathroom. Vivian realized that she was being forced into a dead end.

At this moment, Vivian finally realized that Joey had changed. Not only her beautiful noble appearance, but also her strong tough heart. Every word Joey said was like a sharp needle. She couldn't even think of a single word to argue with Joey.

Seeing Vivian's arrogance instantly collapsed under her gaze, Joey raised her eyebrows with satisfaction, and said coldly. "Look, I don't want to waste my time with you. Tell me, how did you become Samantha's daughter?" Allen has mentioned the name of Martin's mother to Vivian once, so naturally she knew.

Vivian shook her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. But she still gritted her teeth and retorted. "It's none of your business, I don't have to tell you. You'd better stay out of it. Otherwise... Mom will definitely not forgive you." "I don't know which mom you were referring to? Samantha? Or Julia Linderman?" Joey answered softly.

"How dare you call my mother by her name, Joey. It is too presumptuous of you to say so."

When Joey was bold enough to call the full name her mother, Vivian suddenly realized that Joey didn't care about Mrs. Linderman as before. All of the sudden Vivian became even more at a loss.

Joey smiled disapprovingly. "So, you still know who your mother is. I thought you already assumed money is your mother. And you don't even remember who your biological mother is!"
