The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 241 Sparks Fly

Once Chance signed the transfer of shares and the contract for the equipment investment, Joey once

again requested Chance to keep her identity secret. She doesn’t want Yolanda and Ben to know ahead

of time about her return to the country because she will reveal herself to them when she was ready.

Although the contract had been signed, the items had not been physically transferred. Chance naturally

agreed since, from his standpoint, he had no reason to help Yolanda and Ben. His previous interactions

with these two had only been for mutual interests.

Where Joey and Chance were discussing, Philip Ham and Allen were in the next room seated facing

each other with their eyes locked and sparks were flying.

“Tell me, why did she leave that year?”

Allen’s fiery eyes glared at Philip and asked him what he couldn’t understand all these years.

Philip heard, shook his head, and laughed sarcastically, “As her boyfriend at that time, you were the

closest and dearest to her and you didn’t even know the reason for her departure? Allen, you are truly

a loser!”

“Tell me!”

Allen’s fists were clenched tightly and he was furious at Philip’s sarcasm but what he said was

reasonable.

“Go and ask Joey by yourself. I have nothing to say to you.”

Philip replied with no regard for him.

Allen was furious but helpless. He fought with Philip over Joey on the first time they met. Ever since

that day, things were very tensed between them.

“Regardless of the reason, now that she is back, she will still be my woman.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Philip scoffed, “Really? Has Mayor Charles forgotten? You already have a wife and family. Can I ask

what right do you have to hold onto Joey?”

“This is none of your concern. I’m very clear of my situation.”

Allen stared at Philip coldly, “But no matter what, I still have to thank you. Thanks for taking care of

Joey all these years and more so for making her return to my side.”

“You may be thanking me prematurely. Furthermore, you need not thank me for taking care of Joey

because I love her and that’s why I’m treating her well…”

The two men were staring aggressively at each other when Joey appeared at the door.

“Philip, I’m done with my discussions. We can go now.”

Joey stood daintily at the doorway and said tenderly.

The men previously engaged in heated bickering looked up towards Joey and was distracted from what

they were doing.

Following that, the three of them walked out of the Champion Hospital.

Allen wanted to take Joey to tour the food and beverage business but was turned down by Joey, “Let’s

end our business dealings here today. We have other things to attend to now. Please excuse us, Mayor

Charles.”

After saying this, she flagged down a car and got into the car with Philip, and sped away, practically

dumping Allen at the entrance of the hospital.

Allen was furious to be ditched and tossed his jacket angrily onto the ground. He loosened his necktie

and went towards his car to give chase.

At this moment, Chance was standing nearby. He walked over and called out to Allen, “Don’t bother

chasing after them. Haven’t you noticed? The Joey now is no longer the Joey of the past. Now, she is

decisive and does what she says. She is sharp and unforgiving. You better be careful in the future.”

Allen raised his head, looked at Chance, and asked coldly, “What did both of you discuss just now?

Why wasn’t I allowed to be present?”

Chance was caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond to the question. After a while, he vaguely

said, “Nothing in particular. It’s regarding the investment of some equipment. What else do I have to

discuss with her about other than this? Your question is so strange.”

“Really?”

Allen didn’t know how much to believe. Somehow, he felt that Chance was behaving abnormally today

and he seemed to be keeping something from him. Perhaps he was overly sensitive due to the

reemergence of Joey. Allen shook his head and tried to discard his doubts about his own brother.

Chance wrapped his arm over Allen’s shoulders and laughed, “Don’t think too much of it. I’m sure you

haven’t had your breakfast. I’ll treat you. Let’s go!”

After this, he dragged Allen back into the hospital.

To Chance, he was more worried about Joey telling Allen about the truth of what happened in the past.

So, he will do as much as he can to keep Allen and Joey apart.

In the car, Joey took out the transfer of Phoebus shares document, which she had just signed with

Chance, out for Philip to inspect.

After Philip had looked at the document, he laughed and said, “It’s smoother than expected. Now we

have 42% of Phoebus’ shares. We almost have half of Ben’s company in our hands.”
