Chapter 200 A conspiracy against her


    The engagement party would be held tomorrow. Joey was both happy and nervous.


    The store called Joey to try on the beautiful engagement dress that was worth hundreds of thousands


    of dors in the afternoon. If it didn’t fit or satisfy her, they would adjust it on the spot.


    Allen had gone to work, so he couldn’t go to the store with her. Joey called her best friend Sarah,


    because she wanted to share the happiness with her.


    Unfortunately, Sarah’s younger brother Patrick had gotten worse recently in the hospital. Apart from


    work hours when she had to deal with John Walter and his twin lovers, Sarah had to spend the rest of


    her time with her parents and her poor brother. She couldn’t make time to see Joey. She could only


    stay for one hour in Joey’s engagement party tomorrow.


    Joey understood Sarah’s dilemma. Sheforted Sarah with a few words and hung up the phone.


    The owner of the wedding dress store brought the engagement dress for Joey to try it on with the help


    of her maids Seventeen and Eighteen.


    Just then, Joey’s phone rang. It was Ynda.


    Ynda hadn’t shown up again since thest time Joey had seen her. Joey’s pregnancy depression


    had improved a lot under the guidance of Allen and her psychiatrist these days. But she couldn’t help


    feeling nervous when Ynda suddenly called her.


    “Hello!” Joey hesitated for a moment before she answered it.


    “I knew you would answer my call.” There came Ynda’s arrogant voice from the other end of the


    phone, “I’m at Sky Café right now. Why don’t youe over and sit down with me for a while? I have


    something to say to you in person.”


    Joey tightened her grip on the phone and said calmly, “I have nothing to say to you. So don’t ever


    bother me again.”


    Ynda smiled disapprovingly, “You’d bettere and see me, if you want the engagement party to go


    well tomorrow. Otherwise, I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow. Remember, you have toe


    alone.”


    Before Joey could respond, she had hung up the phone.


    Joey frowned deeply when the phone hung up. She was getting engaged tomorrow. What the hell did


    Ynda want to do?


    Joey really didn’t want to see Ynda. She had disliked Ynda very much since theirst encounter.


    But she knew that Ynda was definitely a determined and ruthless girl who would do whatever she


    had said. She was afraid that something unexpected and terrible would happen at her engagement


    party if she didn’t go to see Ynda.


    Joey made up her mind. She said to Seventeen and Eighteen who were trying to put the dress on her,


    “I’d like to try it onter. I’ve to go to the bathroom first. Why don’t you two hold the dress before it


    creases?”


    “Yes, Miss Joey.” Her maids answered obediently and held the engagement dress in their hands. They


    had gotten along very well with Joey these days, and they had lowered their guard around Joey.


    Therefore, Joey easily left the store alone and took a taxi to the Sky Café to meet Ynda. However,


    she couldn’t find Ynda anywhere after she walked into the café. There was someone covering


    his/her face with a piece of newspaper at a table near the window. Joey assumed that it was Ynda


    and went over to the table.


    The person slowly put down his newspaper when Joey approached him.


    “Ben Hawk?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Joey suddenly went pale when she saw the face behind the newspaper. She subconsciously took a


    step back, “What are you doing here?”


    It was definitely not a coincidence.


    Ben Hawk smiled and his wicked eyes made her blood run cold, “I’m the one who really has something


    to say to you and I told Ynda to ask you out. Why don’t you sit down? I think we need to talk it over.


    Don’t worry. What am I going do to you in public? Besides, my leg is still in a ster cast. I couldn’t do


    anything to you even if I want to.”


    He deliberately patted his right leg in a thick ster cast to show that he meant no harm this time.


    Joey realized that she had been fooled by Ynda.


    But since when had Ben Hawk and Ynda hooked up with each other?


    They had been total strangers. How did they get know each other?


    The thought made her even more nervous. She had instinctively wanted to turn around and run away,


    but she knew she couldn’t. She sat stiffly across from Ben Hawk and said with a straight face, “What do


    you want to say?”
