The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 385 Angrier

"You know best what you are thinking."

Chance did not know Joey had taken care of Lillian on the way. Paige did not tell him either. Besides,

he had been prejudiced by first impressions that Joey, a stepmother, would not be good to Lillian. So,

he continued to say harshly, "I know what you want to do when you get back to the Charles family this

time. But I did not expect you even to do harm to a child. Are you still that Joey I once knew? Now, you Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

are no different from Yolanda, and are even more abominable. You used poisonous snakes to harm

people. You should be glad that Lillian is fine this time, or..."

"Or what do you want to do?"

Joey flared with anger. For Chance's arbitrary behavior, she did not even want to explain it. She would

only explain to those who were worthy of her explanation. Chance were never worthy of it. Since he

had thought so, Joey wouldn't bother arguing with him. In short, she was worthy of her heart.

Chance obviously did not expect Joey to be so justified after the "bad" thing she did was "exposed". He

was even angrier, grabbed Joey's arm, and stepped closer, saying maliciously, "Don't think that with

Allen behind you, I can't do anything to you. Four years ago, I could do something to you. Now, I can

still do it. So, don't annoy me!"

Hearing Chance even dare to mention what happened four years ago, Joey burst into anger, shook off

his hand, and glared at him fearlessly, "How dare you mention what happened four years ago! Chance,

it seems that you have not understood that I, Joey, am no longer what I was four years ago. You want

to harm me? Come on. You should have a clear estimation of yourself. Ben was imprisoned. John

brought his family to ruin. Yolanda went abroad in a mess. They are all your example. You are still

standing here as a hospital director because I haven't taken a shot at you yet. So, don't be so self-

righteous because of my tolerance."

Since returning home, all the things happened one by one. The misunderstanding that she and Allen

were brother and sister who had the same father but different mothers made Joey exhausted for a long

time. So, she had not been able to deal with Chance. Unexpectedly, this made Chance, the sinister

snake, more and more impenitent.

Chance was intimidated by Joey's aura for a while. He had to admit that the current Joey was really not

the weak girl who did not even dare to speak loudly four years ago. Her growth in all aspects was

amazing. Now, she was so charming that people could not help but lose their heart to her.

Startled by his gaffe, Chance stepped back and forced a sneer, saying, "Ben, John, and Yolanda are all

not worth mentioning. The fact that they were defeated by you can only show that they are stupid. They

don't deserve to be compared with me. If you do not believe, you can fight me. I won't frown, or I am

not a man!"

The Smith family was a political family comparable to the Charles family. Although Chance's father died

of cancer at a young age, and his mother fell downstairs and became a vegetable, and had not woken

up for more than 20 years (Last time, Chance got the special equipment for treating vegetative from

Joey at the price of 5% shares of Ben's company. Although the effect was much better than the general

equipment, Leila, his mother, after all, had been sleeping for more than twenty years, and could not

wake up after just a few months of treatment), there were still his grandfather, his father's two elder

brothers, and an uncle in the Smith family. Each of them had a pivotal position in the political circles.

Even George was concerned about it. That was why although George was obviously disgusted with

Paige, he did not get a divorce but ensured Paige was well provided for.

Chance was a maverick in the Smith family. He was the only one who did not enter politics. But his

achievements in medical circles were obvious. The Champion Hospital he established was the first

choice for the rich and powerful people in the upper class society. Besides, the hospital received public

praise, which brought the Smith family a fine fame in another aspect. So, although Chance didn't have

the care of his parents, he was well cared by his grandfather and several uncles, and also had a high

position in the Smith family.

Therefore, facing Joey's challenge, he was much more confident than Ben, John and Yolanda.

For him, Ben was just an upstart who became rich by taking women's money, and had no any

foundation. John just inherited his family fortune. Even if his family was wealthy, it was just a merchant.

Yolanda was not worth mentioning. She was just a canary that had lost the shelter of the tree. Without

Taylor, her high-ranking father, and the approval of Martin, her brother who was a senior colonel, she

had nothing but an identity as a member of the Moore family to fool others.

In the face of Chance's arrogance and invincibility, Joey just smiled, "Alright. The more confident you

are now, the more delighted I will be when I defeat you!"
