The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 97

Mrs. Linderman said disapprovingly, “It was your fault that your fiancé moved on to someone else. How could you blame anyone else? I’m glad it’s your sister; otherwise some other woman would steal him away. Aren’t you happy that Ben will still be a part of our big family?”

Joey was speechless.

It was total nonsense!

She finally realized how partial, mean and unreasonable her mother had been.

She closed her eyes and sighed. Anyhow, it didn’t matter anymore.

Vivian was insanely jealous. She couldn’t believe that her gentle and loving father would hit her for Joey. She wanted to kill Joey right now. She was tightening her grip on Joey’s neck.

“Get…off…me…”

Joey found it hard to breathe. Her face was purple and she felt terrible in her chest. She could barely finish a sentence.

“Vivian, you’re insane. Let go of your sister!”

Mr. Linderman was angry at Vivian hurting Joey. He rushed to them and tried to get Vivian off Joey.

“Don’t you dare to touch my daughter!”

Mrs. Linderman thought he was going to hurt Vivian. She instinctively pushed him hard from behind and…
