Chapter 177
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Fiona was greatly relieved to hear it. He smiled heartily, âCongratulations! You will be very happy.â
Joey nodded. She wanted to be happy too.
But her happiness was hanging by a thread. Ben Hawk was a time bomb that could ruin her life at anytime.
Joey suddenly realized that there was a very important question that she hadnât asked Fiona, âFiona, how did you manage to persuade Ben Hawk?â
âMost men love two things, money and pretty girls. Ben Hawk is just a scumbag. Heâs certainly no exception.â
Fiona smiled sarcastically, âI gave him some money to buy his silence and asked him to delete all your photos.â
It was great news for Joey, âDid he really delete them all?â
She wouldnât have to be scared of Ben Hawk anymore if it was true.
Fiona sighed, âAt least he deleted all the photos and videos in his phone.â
But he wasnât sure whether Ben Hawk had copied these photos and videos and saved them somewhere else.
But kept it to himself. It was a brutal possibility for Joey at the time.
It was much harder to destroy oneâs hope again than give him no hope in the first place.
But Joey was smart enough to read between the lines.
She somehow hoped that Ben Hawk would cut her some slack for the sake of the five years that they had spent together. She hoped that there was still some humanity in him...
But from what she had known of Ben Hawk, she was sure that he must have saved those photos and videos in his laptop long ago.
Joey buried her head in her hands and took a deep breath. She looked up at Fiona with a smile and asked, âHow much did you give him? I will pay you back.â
Fiona had done her a huge favor. She shouldnât waste his money without paying it back.
âTo be honest, itâsâ a lot of money, too much for you to afford it.â Fiona looked at her and said.
Joey froze, âI...I can ask Allen to...â
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me ï¤Chapter 176 A hickey on his neck âDonât!â Fiona shook his head, âYouâre not married yet. How do you expect him to think of you if you suddenly ask him for such a large sum of money?
Besides, how will you answer him if he asks you why you need so much money? Please donât don't make it more and more complicated. Why donât you consider it a loan and pay me back whenever you can?â
As a famous ladyboy queen, Fiona was rich as any A- List stars. He wouldnât be short of money as long as he was beautiful.
Joey was deeply touched by his generosity and thoughtfulness.
âFiona, thank you so much.â
She really didn't know what else to say except expressing her gratitude. Fiona had helped her whole-heartedly as a friend she had made recently.
Fiona shook his head and smiled, âYouâre very welcome. Itâs just that I felt for you because I had been there. Donât worry about Ben Hawk anymore. I guess he wonât bother you any time soon.â
âBut what if...he threats me again?â
Joeyâ heart sunk for the prospect of living in fear from now on.
Joey was miserable and helpless. Fiona suddenly said in a cold voice, âIf he goes any further, Iâm afraid he will probably be silent in death.â
âFiona, you...â
Joey looked up at Fiona in disbelief and shock.
Fiona realized that he had forgotten himself in a fit of anger. He smiled, âI was just kidding.â
Joey was greatly relieved. She was scared that Fiona would do something illegal on impulse. She cried, âItâs not funny at all.â
Fiona shrugged. He sipped his coffee and said no more.
Joey thought it was just some angry words.
However, she didnât know that angry words could be true sometimes, because Fiona had meant it.
