The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 203 An irresistible command

At 3:50 p.m., a delicately wrapped mysterious document was sent to George Charles’s office with his

name on it.

After a security check at the door, it was put on his table.

He had gotten several of these mysterious documents that informants had sent here on a daily basis.

Thus he wasn’t surprised to see it at all. But after he opened it, he frowned at its content. The

document was centered on one person, and it was Joey Linderman.

It was a detailed report on Joey, her family and educational background, etc. But it mainly described

her previous relationship with Ben Hawk.

In fact, George Charles had known everything about Joey.

He had never intended for his son Allen to marry Joey, but he had sent someone to investigate her long

ago as a discreet father. Thus he wasn’t surprised to see any of it.

However, an ordinary sound recorder in the file suddenly caught his attention.

He naturally pressed the play button of the recorder.

There instantly came the voices of a man and a woman. The man said, “I just want to confirm one thing

with you today. I know you’re pregnant, is the baby mine?”

The woman said, “Ben Hawk, it’s yours, for sure. It’s not Allen’s.”

The man continued, “Joey, come with me. Don’t think about the power and wealth of the Charles family

anymore. Why don’t the three of us live a happy and peaceful life together? I’m begging you. We are

young and we can make money. There’s no point in trying to use our baby to marry into a rich family.”

The woman said, “I’ve intended to marry into the Charles family with my baby. I love the power and

wealth of Charles family. I’m telling you, no one can stop me.”

The conversation was short, but there was a shocking secret in it. George Charles turned pale when he

heard it.

The man’s voice sounded strange, but the woman’s voice was as familiar as it could be for him. It was

Joey!

“What a shameless girl!”

Blue veins stood out on his forehead with fury. He smashed the recorder on the floor and his eyes were

ferocious.

Joey would have been stunned to hear the recording if she were here.

The conversation had been tampered with. She had indeed said every word of it, but it wasn’t exactly

what she had said. Now her words had been completely twisted to express the opposite of her

intended meaning.

It wasn’t a very clever trick, but George Charles hadn’t really trusted Joey very much. A man clever as

a fox, he didn’t even question the authenticity of the recording.

He quickly gave Chance a call.

“Hello, Chance, are you in the hospital now?” His voice was deep and serious.

“Yes, I am, Uncle Charles.” Chance answered loudly.

“Is there any operating room available? I’d like to book one.”

“Yes, there is.”

“Great. I’m bringing someone in. See you in half an hour, bye!” He hung up the phone.

“All right!” Chance froze for a while with the phone in his sweaty hand, because he was very nervous.

He had been waiting for George Charles’s call for two hours.

It was part of their plan and it had apparently worked.

Chance knew exactly what George Charles was going to do.

After hanging up on Chance, George Charles immediately called Joey.

Joey had returned home from the wedding dress store. Her phone suddenly rang when she was about

to go lie in the bed for a while. It was George Charles. Joey was surprised and scared. She quickly sat

up and answered it nervously, “Hello…”

Before she could say anything, there came George Charles’s irresistible command from the other end

of the phone, “I have something to ask you in person. Leave home now, and the driver will bring you

here.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Joey was shocked. It was the first time George Charles had ever gone straight to her, which made her

very uneasy, “Well…I just got back from outside. I think Mrs. Charles might not allow me to go out

again.”

“I already told her. She wouldn’t stop you. Hurry up. I don’t like waiting for anyone.” His voice was cold

and authoritative.

“All right.”

Joey agreed with a trembling voice. She wondered why he had insisted asking her to meet him outside,

but she just didn’t dare to ask. She was somehow intimidated by Allen’s father.

George Charles hung up right away.

Joey immediately got off the bed and changed into something plain but decent. Her maids Seventeen

and Eighteen followed her to the door. George Charles’s private driver had been waiting for her.

After Joey got in the car, her maids were stopped when they tried to get in the car. The driver said with

a straight face, “Mr. Charles prefers Miss Joey to go to see him alone. You two don’t need to go with

her…”
