The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 182

The next morning, Joey was eating the nutritious breakfast prepared by the maids while reading the morning newspaper.

A piece of news suddenly caught her eye and it described how a senior employee of the Walter Group had worked late into the night and was robbed by three stoned young gangsters on his way home. They brutally broke his one of his legs and two ribs. He would have been beaten to death if the patrolling policemen hadn’t arrived in time.

Joey was so surprised that she almost knocked over the milk in her hand when he saw the photo of the badly injured victim in the article. It was Ben Hawk.

She had to admit that she was happy to see Ben Hawk like this. But soon she realized something was wrong when she suddenly recalled her conversation with Fiona in the café.

“Did Fiona do this?”

Fiona had met Shawn in the club last night. She believed Fiona probably had something to do with it.

Joey rushed into her room and closed the door. She picked up her phone and gave Fiona a call.

“Hello!”

The call was quickly put through and she hear Fiona’s familiar voice, “Joey, the plane is about to take off. I have to turn off my phone in a minute. Would you make it quick?”

Joey was shocked, “Fiona, are you on the plane now? Are you going back to Thailand? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could see you off? Besides, I promised you to show you around when you came to visit China. ”

“Don't get so excited, dear. Maybe I'll come to visit China again soon.”

Joey sighed and quickly got to the point, “Did you… have anything to do with what happened to Ben Hawk?”

Fiona paused for a while and answered honestly, “Yes.”

Joey was dumbstruck, “Fiona, how could you have done such a crazy thing? If he died and someone found out, you would be severely punished by the law. How could you be so impulsive?”

Fiona chuckled. Was she worried about him? He paused and said, “Don’t worry. He didn’t die anyway. Shawn called me that he wouldn’t hit Ben Hawk again since he wasn’t killed last night. So there would be no further action. Okay, the plane is taking off. I have to turn off my phone. See you.”
