The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 168

Unfortunately, he had to break up with the girl because he had to maintain a perfect public image for the upcoming election.

He didn’t know what happened to the girl later. He hadn’t seen her ever since their breakup. He knew his wife must have had something to do with it. He was afraid that something terrible might have happened to the girl.

Many years had passed and he had rarely thought of the girl. But his son Lawrence occasionally reminded him of Laura and the girl who had looked much like her.

He had to admit that he was a very cold-hearted man.

His career had always been much more important than love.

Any woman romantically involved with him would come to no good end, including his wife.

When he left, Mrs. Charles dropped to her knees. But after a moment of depression, she looked even more crazy and ferocious.

His husband had emotionally tortured her for many years, which had turned her into a tough and stone-hearted woman. She’d love to do anything that her husband had forbidden her to do. She rose to her feet, along with her rekindled fighting spirit.

In the following days, Joey gradually got used to the life in the Charles family. Apart from a lack of freedom, she was looked after very well and everything that she ate or used was best and most expensive.

On a weekend, Allen didn’t have to go to work. He got up very early and woke her up. He suggested going out for a ride.

Seventeen and Eighteen tried to follow them at first, but were intimidated by Allen who lost his temper and yelled at them.

He drove her directly to an up-market jewelry store in the downtown area.

He wanted to buy her a diamond wedding ring.

Joey was very surprised and happy.

The salesgirls could tell that Allen was very rich. They brought out all the best diamond rings in the store with enthusiasm, one of which was a ring named “One and Only”. It instantly caught the attention of both Allen and Joey.

Allen saw Ben Hawk and Vivian too. He looked at them coldly and put his arms around Joey’s waist, saying gently, “All right, let’s go.”

After Allen and Joey left, Vivian immediately asked the salesgirl who had just served Joey and Allen, “What did they buy?”

The salesgirl looked at Vivian, a little confused.

Vivian realized that she was being too straightforward. She explained, “I mean, I’d like to buy the same thing that they have bought.”

The salesgirl was happy to hear it. She quickly fetched a booklet and introduced the diamond ring to her, “They bought the ring named One and Only. There is only one in our store. Miss, if you'd like to buy it, you have to place the order with a deposit.”

“How beautiful…”

Vivian’s eyes brightened when she saw the picture of the ring. But she was soon stunned by the price tag. She said in a trembling voice, “Half a million dollars? So expensive…”
