The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Fiona was greatly relieved to hear it. He smiled heartily, "Congratulations! You will be very happy."

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 hadn't asked Fiona, "Fiona, how did you manage to persuade Ben Hawk?"

"Most men love two things, money and pretty girls. Ben Hawk is just a scumbag. He's certainly no exception."

Fiona smiled sarcastically, "I gave him some money to buy his silence and asked him to delete all your photos."

It was great news for Joey, "Did he really delete them all?"

She wouldn't have to be scared of Ben Hawk anymore if it was true.

Fiona sighed, "At least he deleted all the photos and videos in his phone."

But he wasn't 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 one's 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, "How much did you give him? I will pay you back."

Fiona had done her a huge favor. She shouldn't waste his money without paying it back.

"To be honest, it's' a lot of money, too much for you to afford it." Fiona looked at her and said.

Joey froze, "...I can ask Allen to..."

"Don't!" Fiona shook his head, "You're 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 don't don't make it more and more complicated. Why don't you consider it a loan and pay me back whenever you can?"

As a famous ladyboy queen, Fiona was rich as any A-List stars. He wouldn't be short of money as long as he was beautiful.

Joey was deeply touched by his generosity and thoughtfulness.

"Fiona, thank you so much."

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, "You're very welcome. It's just that I felt for you because I had been there. Don't worry about Ben Hawk anymore. I guess he won't bother you any time soon."

"But what if...he threats me again?"

Joey' heart sunk for the prospect of living in fear from now on.

Joey was miserable and helpless. Fiona suddenly said in a cold voice, "If he goes any further, I'm afraid he will probably be silent in death."

"Fiona, you..."

Joey looked up at Fiona in disbelief and shock.

Fiona realized that he had forgotten himself in a fit of anger. He smiled, "I was just kidding."

Joey was greatly relieved. She was scared that Fiona would do something illegal on impulse. She cried, "It's not funny at all."

Fiona shrugged. He sipped his coffee and said no more.

Joey thought it was just some angry words.

However, she didn't know that angry words could be true sometimes, because Fiona had meant it.
