The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Allen’s mother Mrs. Charles had sent someone to investigate Joey once she became part of Allen’s life.

Mrs. Charles had pretended to be unaware of it. She hadn’t interfered because she had assumed that her son was just fooling around. The crazy things that Allen had recently done for Joey finally got to her and she had started to pay more attention to the girl.

She had intended to find a chance to speak to Joey alone. She hadn’t expected to see Joey here at the party. She had decided that today was the day to lay her cards on the table.

Joey stared at Mrs. Charles, a noble and elegant woman moments ago who had suddenly turned into a mean and sarcastic mother, wondering how could it possible that such a terrible mother had brought up a wonderful son like Allen.

Mrs. Charles would have brought tears into Joey’s eyes years ago. But she had experienced a lot and become a much tougher girl.

Therefore, Joey didn’t flinch at all. She looked into Mrs. Charles’s fierce and sharp eyes, and smiled calmly and politely, “Mrs. Charles, you’re wrong. You thought Allen and I were playing a love game, but we know we’ve been in love with each other…”

“Enough!”

Just then, Mr. Charles, who had been silent, interrupted Joey and said coldly, “Joey Linderman, I think you’ve no idea of what kind of family we are, and even less of how much Allen would accomplish in the future. You will be of no help to him. Even worse, you will stand in his way as a politician. If you really love him as much as you said, then leave him and accept our money. It’s not it is not a negotiation. It’s an order. I'll give you seven days, or you will regret a lot.”
