Chapter 147 He beat his wife up
“Joey, I’ve made up my mind to divorce her today. I won’t spend another day with her, because it
disgusts me even to look at her. I'm not gonna change my mind.”
Mrs. Linderman was furious and determined. Always a meek and gentle man before, he had finally lost
his temper for the first time when his daughter had nearly been raped.”
As a daughter, Joey knew very well how Mrs. Linderman had survived Mrs. Linderman’s curses and
yells these years. She felt sorry for her father because she related to his miseries. She smiled and told
him, “Dad, get a divorce if you want to. I’m always on your side. But please don’t be mad. You can’t get
a divorce you fall ill.”
The audience was shocked to hear it. A daughter was supposed to persuade her parents not to get a
divorce. How could she do the opposite? That was definitely not something that a daughter should do.
Mrs. Linderman was stunned. She stared at Joey with eyes wide open, as if she couldn’t believe what
Joey had said. She suddenly realized that Joey, who she had bullied in the past twenty-two years,
wasn’t weak and useless as she had thought after all.
Mrs. Linderman froze for a second and suddenly broke free from Mr. Linderman’s arms like a raging
bull. She threw herself at Joey and yelled, “You ungrateful bastard, you and Samantha, you’re all
ungrateful sluts. I will show you…”
Before she could come near Joey, Allen, who had been standing protectively by Joey’s side, reached
out to grab Mrs. Linderman’s hands. She was stopped right there. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Stop it, or I’ll teach him a good lesson!”
Mr. Linderman was infuriated again when Mrs. Linderman brought up Samantha’s name in front of
Joey. He took her by the collar and slapped her hard in the face.
“Ah…”
Mrs. Linderman’s mouth was bleeding, and her face was swollen. It was so painful that she burst into
tears again.
“Mom!”
Just then, a fashionable and beautiful girl nudged her way through the crowd and came up to Mrs.
Linderman. When she found Mrs. Linderman sitting on the ground with a bleeding mouth, she let out a
cry of surprise and rushed to Mrs. Linderman.
“…Vivian!”
Joey was shocked to see her at home. Wasn’t she supposed to be at work in the city now? But she
trembled at the sight of the man who had come back home with Vivian, and her face was pale as
paper.
It was Ben Hawk!
It was the first time she had met him face to face after the horrible night in Thailand. He was so close to
her right now. He was as handsome as always, in sharp contrast to the twisted face she had seen that
night. Her knees suddenly felt weak and nearly fell to the ground.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
Allen quickly put his arms around her and asked her nervously.
“Allen…”
Joey leaned against Allen’s chest, and didn’t dare to look up at Ben Hawk.
When Mrs. Linderman saw Vivian and Ben Hawk, she immediately held her daughter’s hands, like a
drowning person clinging to a boat. She cried out loud, “Vivian, you’re finally back. I knew you would
come back after you got my call. My darling daughter, your mother would get hurt badly if you wouldn’t.
They’re teaming up to bully me. You and Ben have to help me today…”
Vivian and Ben Hawk had been asked to come back home.
After Allen, Chance and Martin had left to save Joey at David’s villa last night, Mrs. Linderman had
decided to stay at home after much thought. But she had called Vivian and Ben Hawk to come back
home to ensure her safety in case the odds were stacked against her.
Therefore, she had tried her best to stay at home to wait for them.
It was an unusual decision for Vivian, too. There was originally no way she would have taken the train
home once her mother called. But she had gotten into trouble herself recently, and had been planning
to leave the city to hide for a while. Thus she had decided to rush back home as soon as her mother
had asked her to.
She had gotten herself into trouble because she had been caught hooking up with Quentin, Amanda’s
husband.
