The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

There were already quite a few people on the list. None of them were easy to handle. Philip worried that Joey would find it hard to deal with so many powerful and wealthy people on her own. He didn't expect that Joey would add John to the list. That would definitely make all the plans more difficult.

Joey knew what Philip was concerned about, but she still said, "I know that John is not Ben. Even ten Royal Companies cannot match up to one tenth of his Walter Group. But I have my reasons. Philip, I think you understand." Philip paused for a second, and then asked, "Is it for Sarah?"

"Yes!"

Joey's face was sullen. "For the past four years, although in a foreign country, I have had you and Fiona to take care of me. But you and I can't imagine how hard Sarah's life has been. John kept her close. Not only did she watch him having affairs with other women, she also had to raise John's bastard. Now the child is attached to Sarah, so he even made it Sarah's responsibility to take care of his child for the long run without marrying her. If anything went wrong, he would either curse or beat her, while he himself dated another woman (Martha) and even considered getting married. What is Sarah to him, his toy? Servant? Or his child's babysitter?"

The more Joey spoke, the angrier she became. Her hands that held the coffee cup began to tremble.

Joey did not have many friends. Strictly speaking, she considered Sarah her one and only sister. She was not less protective of Sarah than Allen.

Hearing what she said, Philip was also moved. In the past few years, he paid all his attention to Joey, so he naturally ignored Sarah. He did not expect that Sarah had lived such a miserable life, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He always felt sorry to Sarah, even though he had made a lot of compensation.

Philip frowned and pondered for a long time. Just as he was about to say something, Joey's phone rang.

Joey saw that it was from Sarah and immediately picked it up happily. They had a short conversation before hanging up.

"Sarah has asked me to go shopping with her. She is waiting for me at Winding Street."

Joey looked up happily and said to Philip.

"Go!"

Philip picked up the thick stack of the information about Walter Group from Joey's desk. "I'll read this and explain it to you when I get back. At that time, we'll come up with a detailed plan to deal with the Walter Group." What he said implied that he had already agreed on Joey's plan, and had even offered to help.

"Philip...."

Joey was touched. She knew that once Philip found out about Sarah's situation, he would definitely not stand by. It was not about love. It was only a matter of conscience.

Half an hour later, Joey arrived at Winding Street. To Joey's surprise, there was someone she did not expect to see.

"Marco?"

Joey simply couldn't believe her eyes. She stared blankly at the man standing behind Sarah. It took a long time for her to call out this somewhat unfamiliar name in her heart.

After four years, Joey thought that Martha had changed the most. She had become unworldly and none of the rebellion in her youth could be seen. But Joey now realized that the one with the biggest change was Marco.

Marco looked quite different from before. The once dark-skinned and strong boy had already grown into a man with sexy wheat skin. He had a tall figure with a handsome face. His eyes were bright, teeth white. Standing next to Sarah who also had a distinctive appearance, he was such a perfect match for her.

Sarah waved her hand and interrupted Joey's gaze on Marco's face and said jealously, "Joey, why are you staring at him like this? You have Allen, and Philip too. Besides, he is not Marco any more. He has changed his name to Justin."

Hearing this, Marco returned to Joey with a faint smile and said calmly, "Everyone calls me Justin now. Marco didn't suit me well. When I first entered the city, I was laughed at for it."

His manners were a bit less naïve, but more manly and carefree.

Marco's change surprised Joey. She felt that he was no longer the honest and straightforward young man from the mountains. She could tell it from his eyes and smile.

Thus, she walked with Sarah in the front with Marco following behind. Joey lowered her voice and asked Sarah, "Why are you with... Justin? What's going on?"

When Joey left the country, she did not know that Justin had found Sarah under the pretext of escorting Cindy and worked as a security guard in John's villa. Therefore, she naturally did not know that Marco had been guarding Sarah for the past four years and had never left.
