Chapter 79
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Chance was surprised at the question. But he quickly shook his head, âMartin, are you mad today?â
Chanceâs evasiveness confirmed Martinâs speculation. Martin grabbed his collar and yelled, âChance, I think youâre mad. Joey is Allenâs girlfriend. As they say, no one should covet his friendâs woman. Itâs Allen. Heâs our best friend from childhood. Please donât ruin our friendship of twenty years for a woman!â
Chance was embarrassed and angry. He pushed Martin away and said coldly, âI have no idea what youâre talking about. Youâre paranoid.â
He quickly turned around and left.
Martin had never seen Chance so serious and depressed. He froze for a while and shouted at Chance, âChance, listen to me, donât touch Joey. Allen will not go easy on you. Me too.â
Chanceâs body stiffened for a second, but he didnât turn around. He kept walking with clenched fists. He looked even more serious and depressed.
At the moment, the main characters in the strife between Martin and Chance had no idea what had been going on. Allen and Joey were enjoying themselves very much on the shopping spree in the Yvonne Street.
As a shopping paradise for the upper class, the Yvonne Street was lined with international brands. Everything here was ridiculously expensive.
Joey had a look at the price tag and gasped, âSo expensive. It costs three thousand dollars!â
She immediately put it back in the rack.
But Allen took it back and put it in Joeyâs hand, âIgnore the price. Pick anything you like and try them on. We will take it if you are happy with it.â
âNo thanks. Itâs three thousand dollars for just a shirt. Iâll pay thirty dollars for it, tops.â
Joey was rejecting the idea that a shirt could cost so much.
Allen shook his head and stopped arguing with her. He gestured to the salesgirl and pointed to the clothes in the rack, âPack them up, Iâll take it all.â
âYes, Sir. Please wait for a minute.â
The salesgirl was very happy.
Joey, on the other hand, was totally shocked. She finally came to her sense and tried to stop him, âAllen, they are too expensive and youâve bought so many of them. I donât want them. Iâd rather buy my clothes at the mall. I know youâre rich, but you shouldnât squander you money this way.â

âThere are people around. Donât hug me so tight.â
His confession of love made her blush.
The salesgirl had packed the clothes. Allen handed her the credit card. Joey tried to stop him, but she froze when he whispered something in her ears.
Allen laughed even harder. His plan had worked.
What he had whispered was that, âBaby, take it or I donât mind kissing you to silence you.â
They went on shopping for more clothes and home wares. She surrendered every time he whispered it in her ears.
They had gotten everything they needed. However, on their way out of the street, they bumped into someone and it was Vivian.
âJoey, itâs you. I thought I mistook someone for you. Why are you here? This man...who is he?â
Vivian was shocked to see Joey here. She became instantly jealous when she saw those bags in Joeyâs hands.
It was Sunday and also a holiday. Vivian had intended to ask Ben Hawk to go shopping with her, but he had said he had a headache and given her one thousand dollars for her go shopping alone. She had thought it was a lot of money, but it turned out that things in the street were so expensive.
She could barely afford a pair of nice boots.
She had had a rough day, because she had been treated badly by sales. She was infuriated when she ran into her sister. Besides, the man standing next to her was more handsome than Ben Hawk. Most importantly, he had been generous enough to buy her so many things. She was insanely jealous of Joey after a single glance.
