Chapter 140 She was locked up in his bedroom
Joey could hear the muffled anxious voice of Mrs. Linderman, “Honey, honey, please don’t go. You
can’t go. Come back…”
Joey jumped out of bed and opened the door. The living room was scattered with fallen tables and
chairs. Mrs. Linderman was standing in the middle of the room, nervously irritated and scared.
“Mom, what’s going on?” Joey went to her and asked.
Mrs. Linderman was relieved to see Joey. She grabbed Joey’s hands and said anxiously, “Something
terrible has happened. It was a slip of the tongue. Your father knew you had been taken advantage of
by David today. He was furious and stormed out, saying he would teach David a good lesson. Joey,
what should we do now? Your father is growing old and he’s certainly no match for David. His health
has worsened ever since he fell down the stairs last time. I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it if
they got into a fight at David’s home …”
Joey was shocked, “Then why are you standing here? Go and stop my father!”
Almost without thinking, Joey rushed out of the house and ran to David’s home.
She had no idea that Mrs. Linderman was smirking behind her because her plot would prevail.
But Mrs. Linderman decided to catch up with her to make sure that her plan would be carried out
perfectly.
As they say, when one cares about someone or something too much, he/she will be unable to think
rationally. Joey was very worried about her father, which had lowered her awareness. Moreover, having
been deliberately misled by Mrs. Linderman, she believed it was urgent to go after her father to stop
him. Just as Mrs. Linderman had told David during the day, she eventually showed up at the door of
David’s bedroom.
“Dad…”
Joey rushed into the room, expecting to find Mr. Linderman and David in a scuffle. She was surprised
and confused to see David sitting in the bed gloomily and peeling an apple with a fruit knife in his hand.
He was alone.
“Joey, it’s great to see you!”
David was overjoyed to see her. He instantly threw the apple and fruit knife onto the nightstand.
Joey froze, “Where is my father… Ah…”
Before she could figure it out, she was suddenly given a shove from behind by Mrs. Linderman, who
had eventually caught up with her. Joey let out a cry of surprise when she was pushed into David’s NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
bedroom. The door slammed shut from behind. It was then locked from the outside.
“Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Let me out…”
Joey panicked. She looked around the bedroom where there were only she and David left. She finally
realized that she had been fooled.
She slapped the door hard in a panic.
However, Mrs. Linderman didn't show any mercy, no matter how hard Joey slapped the door. She
smirked and turned around to leave for home. David would take it from here
He suddenly understood Mrs. Linderman’s intentions the moment she locked the door from the outside.
David was excited, nervous and a little intimidated.
He was a virgin after all.
“Joey!” He blushed and tried to approach her.
“Stop it. Don’t come near me, or I’ll shout for help…”
She stared at David with panic. But the bedroom was too small to run away from him.
The look on Joey’s face was both heartbreaking and encouraging for David. His eyes were cold, “It's no
use. The building materials of the villa are the best and most expensive. They’re sound-proofing too.
No one will hear you.”
Joey’s heart sank when she heard it.
David continued, “Joey, why don’t you follow your mother’s advice and marry me? I promise, you’re the
only woman I’ll ever love in my life. Besides, my family is very rich. You’ll live a very comfortable life if
we get married. Please marry me, and I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world.”
He suddenly jumped at Joey who had been leaning against the door.
“Ah…”
She screamed and dodged behind his back.
He was too fat to move fast around the room. Joey knew she wouldn’t be able to dodge his advances
ever time. All of a sudden, she saw the fruit knife that he had put away on the nightstand moments ago.
She rushed over and picked the knife up without any hesitation, like a person on the verge of despair
who suddenly sees a glimmer of hope. She pointed it at David who was trying to jump at her again and
rapped out, “Stop it, or I’ll kill you if you come over again.”
