The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 107

Compared with their previous sexual encounters, Quentin was practically raping her. He was more rude and cruel than ever.

When Vivian walked out his office, she could barely stand on her feet. Her legs were shaking and she was bleeding. There were traces of blood along her thighs, on her ankles and in her shoes. It was a shocking sight.

Luckily no one was there to see her, because it was recess time.

She walked out of the company step by step with clenched fists.

She would never come back to work here. She would never see the monstrous Quentin again!

Joey, after she had finished lunch in the company cafeteria, decided to rush to Chance’s clinic to see her father during recess hours.

Mr. Linderman had woken up, but he was still very weak. Mrs. Linderman had stayed at the hospital to look after him, but she was pulling a long face. She was the one who had pushed her husband down stairs, and now she was the mad one.

Mr. Linderman decided to ignore her. He had gotten used to her selfishness and meanness long ago. So even if he was wide awake, he thought he’d better close his eyes to avoid her.

But deep down in his heart, he had started to think of Samantha like crazy, as he had done decades ago. He had been in love with her for his entire life since she was a teenage girl. Now they were both middle-aged, but she was still very beautiful.

Joey thought her father was asleep when she found that his eyes were closed. She tried not to make a sound. But Mrs. Lindeman immediately dragged her out of the room and asked her the question she had intended to ask since last night.

“Who is the young man that you were with last night? What's your relationship with him?”

Joey slightly lowered her head and answered honestly, “He’s my boyfriend and everything is…fine with us.”

Although Mrs. Linderman was the one to blame for her father’s severe accident and Joey was very mad at her, she knew her mother hadn’t done it on purpose. They were her parents after all. How could she resent her mother for long?

Mrs. Linderman smiled sarcastically, “No wonder you agreed to sign the paper immediately when I asked you to break off your engagement with Ben yesterday. It turns out you had intended to do so long ago. It seemed that I was helping Vivian. But you’re the real one who has gotten the most out of it.”

Joey looked up at her mother with sad eyes, “Mom, how could you say that? You’ve gone too far.”

A mother should never have said those mean words to her child. She sounded more like Joey’s worst sworn enemy.

Was it destined that she and her daughter would always be outshone by Samantha and her daughter?

Mrs. Linderman became insanely jealous and resentful, because she thought it was so unfair.

“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling all right?”

Joey was unaware that Mrs. Linderman was holding grudges against her. When Joey found her pale-faced, she thought her mother wasn’t feeling very well.

Mrs. Linderman recollected herself and smiled sarcastically, “Don’t cry for the moon. Otherwise it will come to no good end.”

After saying that, she turned around to open the door, walked into the room and slammed the door, leaving Joey outside alone.

Joey was confused.

She wasn’t stupid, thus she knew Mrs. Linderman was implying that she shouldn't expect miracles to happen to her, because when the clock struck midnight, everything would be back at square one.
