Chapter 256: So Stupid
Time was so cruel!
Joey suddenly realized that the person she hurt most by leaving for four years was her father.
They haven't met and had no contact with each other for four years. He must have missed her so much!
Standing by his bed for a long time, Joey didn't move or speak. Her tears kept flowing uncontrollably. It was the first time in four years that she had shed tears.
It was as if she wanted to vent all the grievance she had experienced in the past four years.
The reason why she didn't cry in the past four years was not that she had become cold or heartless. It turned out that she didn't meet anyone worthy of her tears.
Joey did not wake Mr. Linderman up. But she took away Mr. and Mrs. Linderman's toothbrushes.
Although it had been confirmed, Joey still felt it necessary to ensure it no risk at all.
Yes, Joey still wanted to take a DNA paternity testing.
It was already at night when Joey returned to City A.
She saw Vivian who had been waiting for her at the entrance of the hotel as soon as she arrived.
"You came earlier than I expected."
Joey walked towards Vivian, "How is it? Have you made your decision?"
Gazing at Joey with a venomous look, Vivian said unwillingly, "I'll give you a 5% stake in Phoebus. Are you really willing to resign the identity of being the second daughter of the Moore Family?" Ignoring Vivian's resentful gaze, Joey nodded, "Of course. I keep my word. You know this better than anyone else."
Vivian paused. Indeed, Joey was different from her. Joey never lied and she would definitely keep her promise as long as she had made it. Besides, she had no other choice but to believe that Joey would suit her action to her word. Anyway, Vivian was a fake. Thus, Vivian took out the share transfer she had prepared early.
After both of them signed the contract, Vivian gritted her teeth and left indignantly. A 5% stake wasn't much, but for Phoebus, which was currently in the ascending stage, it was worth several million! Being blackmailed by Joey for millions of dollars in a second, Vivian felt so angry that she wanted to strangle Joey to death.
But thinking of becoming Samantha's daughter, the second daughter of the Moore Family, Vivian felt somewhat relieved. After all, money would naturally pour in as long as she had such a status. And Joey just took advantage of Vivian's thought. After getting the 5% stake, Joey turned around and showed a frightening, cold smile.
She used to keep her promise, and she still was. However, the standards had changed.
Not everyone could make her keep her promise. For example, Yolanda and Vivian were exceptions.
With the share transfer in her hand, Joey couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Vivian was so stupid though she had experienced so much. Regarding her as an opponent was simply insulting herself!
Mocking Vivian in her heart, Joey was about to walk into the elevator and return to her room. She didn't expect a figure had presented behind her. Someone hugged her from behind and spoke in a low voice, "Follow me."
Meeting things out of the blue, Joey would definitely struggle in the first place. In her self-defense class, she had learnt many movements to down the person behind her. However, Joey only paused for a moment, and then... quietly followed him to leave the hotel. The reason for that was the person who suddenly appeared and took Joey away was Allen!
As soon as he approached, Joey had recognized him and did not resist.
After sending Joey into his car, Allen hit the gas pedal and started to drive crazily.
However, no matter how fast he drove, Joey just remained calm and expressionless
The car stopped in a sparsely populated suburb.
Turning his head, Allen gazed at Joey without blinking. After a long time, he suddenly untied his seat belt and pulled her into his arms. With she sat on his thighs, he was going to kiss her eagerly.
However, Joey acted faster than him. She raised one hand and he only planted a kiss on her palm. With the other hand resting on Allen's chest, she kept him from getting any closer.
They stared at each other blankly without moving or speaking.
After a long while, it was Allen who compromised first. He said with eyes filled with pain, "Baby, don't be like this, okay? From your gaze, I can tell that you still love me. And me, too. Then, let's be together as we used to be."000000
