Chapter 229
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Zelda, who had always looked cold and indifferent, wasnât mad at all. She smiled generously, âYou neednât be embarrassed. I don't blame you.
Otherwise I wouldnât have tried so hard to cure your mental illness all these years. I gave him four years to win your heart, but itâs obviously that he didnât succeed. So Iâm going after him today.â
Joey suddenly found that the girl who had always been cold and indifferent was actually very straightforward and lovely, âIn fact, you should have made a move long ago. As they say, itâs easy to fetch water when a river is near. You really should have gone after him before he met me.â
âI wanted to, but I didnât have the courage back then.â Zelda shrugged. She was a very shy teenage girl when she fell in love with Philip.
âIn that case, I think I should tell you that Philip will go home with me tomorrow. If you want to do something, do you need to come along with us?â
Somehow, when she heard that someone else was going to pursue Philip, all she felt was excitement instead of threat.
She didnât love him, but she wanted him to be loved by someone else.
âYou can go back first. Iâll get back to you when I finish working on some medical cases.â Zelda was earnest and confident.
They talked some more before Joey left for home.
She found Fiona waiting for her with Philip and Sammy back at home.
Fiona was the only other person who had known her whereabouts in the past four years.
Fiona was beautiful as always.
Sammy was sitting on Fionaâs lap and playing with him. The boy had always liked Fiona very much. Fiona couldnât come to visit very often, because he had his own acting career, but whenever he came to see them, the boy would be extremely happy, because Fiona had always brought him presents.
When Joey got back, Fiona put Sammy down and asked him to play with Philip. He said to Joey, âAfter I got your message last night, I immediately flew here. Have you really decided to go back to China?â
Joey invited Fiona into her room and closed the door, âYes, I have to go back there, but I canât take Sammy back with me. I donât know what will happen when I go back home, but I donât want to put Sammy in danger. So I asked you to come here because I wanted to leave him in your care temporarily. Would you help me?â
Besides Philip, Fiona was the only person she could trust. More importantly, Sammy liked Fiona. The boy would certainly have fewer temper tantrums if Fiona took care of him.

Now that youâve chosen to go back home, youâd better be prepared to...be ruthless. Donât go easy on any of them. Take your revenge on them in whatever way you want, including Allen Charles. Can do you do it?â
Joey hesitated for a second. She could be very cruel to the others, but how... could she be cruel to Allen?
Fiona saw her hesitation and shook his head, âIt seems that youâve changed a lot in the past few years, but you still love Allen. You are a silly girl. Do you think he is still as determined and loyal as youâve been?â
Joey was shocked, âWhat do you mean?
Fiona was obviously implying something.
Fiona continued, âYouâve deliberately ignored the news back home in the past few years. Philip and I, weâve never spoken to you of the updates of those people. But now that youâre going back, I think itâs important that you know what has been going on with them. Otherwise, you will only be passive and bullied by them.â
Fiona turned on the computer in Joeyâs room and logged on to his email account. Then he downloaded a private log and copied it to her computer, âThis is all the information about those people that Iâve collected for you over the years. Go have a look. If you still insist on going back after reading it, then Philip and I will have your back and do our best to help you.â
Joey was grateful for Fionaâs thoughtful, and she knew Fiona would always look out for her.
With these words Fiona left the room and went to play with Sammy in the living room.
Joey took a deep breath and slowly sat down in front of the computer. She slowly looked up at the computer, as if she had made up her mind. Then she began to read all the âmaterialsâ that Fiona had tried very hard to collect for her.
