Chapter 84 She was attacked
It was no surprise for Joey. She sighed, “Sarah, you knew he has always been such a bastard. Trust
me. You should leave him as early as possible.”
However, Sarah shook her head in agony, “I can’t. My little brother was diagnosed with leukemia the
other day. You know how much it would cost. My family is poor and I’m the breadwinner…but I don’t
earn much money. I can’t afford my brother’s medical care, so I had to ask John Walter for help. He
took care of everything, the best hospital, the best doctor. He offered to pay the medical bills too. I'm
very grateful to him. What can I say?”
Joey was shocked to hear the news, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Then what? You would be worried about me. I know you’ve been busy with job hunting recently.”
Sarah wiped her tears and forced a smile.
She had had enough with the twins today. Otherwise she wouldn't have told Joey about her and John
Walter. She knew Joey had always disapproved of their relationship. She had practically asked for it.
Joey frowned and paused for a second, “Sarah, how about this? I’ll ask Allen to help your brother. In
this case, you wouldn’t have to depend on John Walter. You can leave him then.”
“No!”
Sarah shook her head again, “I don't want you to end up like me. If you ask a man for help, he would
probably look down upon you. Even if he wouldn’t, his family would certainly despise you. Joey, say no
more. I know you’re doing this for my good, and I’m grateful for that…But my business…I’ll take care of
it. Let's change the subject.”
Joey wasn't ready to give up, but Sarah immediately changed the subject, “I forgot to tell you, Philip
went abroad.”
Joey was surprised to hear it. She hadn’t seen Philip since they said goodbye in the village. She had
no idea that he had gone aboard. She paused for a second and asked, “Where did he go?”
“South Korea.”
Sarah said, “His father is Chinese and his mother is South Korean. Perhaps you didn't know that.”
“No, I didn’t.”
Joey suddenly understood why she had always thought Philip was uniquely handsome. It turned out
that he was Chinese-Korean.
“I guess you know you’re the one he has loved all along.”
Joey lowered her head because she didn’t dare to look at Sarah in the eye, “I…I’m sorry.”
Sarah’s smile was wry, “You don’t need to apologize to me. It’s not your fault. It was his. Now he has
missed the opportunity to ask you out for a date. Maybe it’s karma. It's a good thing that he decided to
go back to South Korea. You'd better all calm down to sort out your relations.”
Joey really didn’t want to talk about Philip, either. Everything she said would certainly hurt Sarah. “Oh,
Sarah, I forgot to tell you the good news. I got a job in the CL Group, as the administrative director.”
“Great. You're good at it.”
Sarah was genuinely happy for Joey.
“Yes, I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow…” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
When they were talking, there suddenly came a shout from the door, “Joey Linderman!”
Joey and Sarah were surprised. They turned around to find Ben Hawk striding to Joey in an unfriendly
manner. They had no idea why he was in the café.
“Ben Hawk!”
Joey was scared. She grabbed her purse and was about to run away.
However, Ben Hawk stopped her and grabbed her arms with great force. He ground his teeth and said,
“Joey, where have you been these days? You’ve never come back home, not for once. Now I’ve got
you. Come home with me!”
He dragged Joey, forcing her to leave the café.
“No, I’m not going home with you.”
Joey shrieked in fear. She raised her purse and smashed him with it.
“Ben Hawk, get your hands off Joey….Ah…”
Sarah went to help Joey. But before she got near him, she had been ruthlessly kicked in the stomach
by Ben Hawk. It hurt so much that she couldn't get to her feet for quite a while.
Joey got more excited when she found Sarah had been attacked because of her. “Ben Hawk, you’ve
lost your mind. How could you attack Sarah? Let go of me...Ouch…”
Ben Hawk was so agitated that he slapped her hard, “Bitch, you thought I wouldn’t be able to find you if
you didn’t go to work. I’m going to teach you a good lesson when we get home!”
He grabbed Joey’s hair with his other hand and outrageously dragged her toward the door.
