The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Ben almost fainted after hearing Philip's words.

But Philip wasn't satisfied with what Ben had suffered. He continued, "What a tricky Mr. Quentin. I heard that he had a special relationship with your ex-girlfriend, Vivian Linderman. Now he again successfully seduced your girlfriend, Helen Kemp, and took all the money you have got by all means even at the price of your life. Well, he was naturally born for defeating you, wasn't he?" What happened in this world was truly mysterious. One evil man defeated the other evil one. But when did the first evil one get retributions?

Ben couldn't hear Philip's words. He felt his brain was buzzing and he was almost collapsed.

His woman ran away with another man with his money.

If that man wasn't Quentin, he might not feel that bad. But that man was the one who he deeply hated in his entire life.

Before this time, he hoped that Helen would hire the best lawyer for him and help him litigate. Then he would have a chance to get out of the predicament and staged a comeback. But it seemed to be impossible now!

Seeing Ben's breakdown, Philip smiled with indifference. When the elevator's door parted, Ben was sent out under escort. Then Philip straightly went to Joey Linderman's office.

Joey sat on the chair and watched the blue sky and white clouds through the window. There was no expression on her face.

Philip felt worried about Joey. He gently walked to her and said in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Ben finally got arrested. The first step of our plan finished perfectly. Aren't you happy?" Joey looked back to Philip. She really wanted to smile and told him that she was very happy. But... she couldn't even force a smile. She wasn't happy at all.

Once she thought she would be joyful if defeating Ben. But the fact wasn't like that. It was true that Ben finally got retribution. But... the hurt and the scar would never dissipate.

And Ben had said that as long as he met with a mishap, the photos and videos would be sent to Allen. At this moment, Allen must have received it!

Although with an early made decision, Joey was in great upset when thinking of Allen's seeing these pictures.

Joey couldn't help but cry with hands covered her face.

Philip was startled. He didn't know why Joey cried. But he assumed that it was because Ben was finally punished, and he had reminded Joey of something unhappy in the past. So she wept bitter tears. Philip approached Joey and gently draped his hand on her shoulder. He said in a soft voice, "Don't be sad. What's past is prologue.. Everything will be better and better. Trust me. I will always be your side." 'Until the day you will not need me.'

Philip didn't speak out the last sentence.

He had deeply understood that his affection for Joey had gradually become a burden and guilt. He didn't want to see that.

"It was my honor to meet you, ... Philip!"

Joey leaned against Philip's waist weakly. She felt extremely tired and wanted to have a rest. She smelt the faint scent from his breath. Although there wasn't a butterfly in her stomach, which wasn't like the feeling she had when being with Allen, she felt a great peace. Philip smiled when hearing "It was my honor to meet you". He felt all efforts had paid off.

Noticing Joey calming down, Philip said, "Quentin had already run away with Helen and took away all Ben's money. It seemed that he didn't need the position of deputy manager you promised to give him. Are there any candidates in your mind?"

"It depended on you, Philip. You have been here in the company longer than I have stayed. I knew less than a half of things you knew."

Joey wiped the tears on her face. She sat still and thought, "It seemed that this matter benefited Quentin the most. We looked down on him and Helen before. This time, both of them must be badly happy!"

Philip said, "The one who betrayed others would be betrayed one day. This world is like a cycle. I don't believe they will have a good ending!"

Joey nodded. But these weren't within her mind.

The internal phone call suddenly rang. Joey picked it up and heard the front desk clerk's voice. "A lady suddenly broke to see you, Ms. Joey. But she didn't make an appointment and refuses to wait. She is now making trouble for the security guard. Do you want to see her?" Joey frowned slightly. "What's her name?"

After Joey came back to work, it was the first time that someone asked to see her definitely.

"She said her name was Yolanda Moore!"

The clerk replied respectfully.
