A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1538

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1538

It wasn’t that Gabriella didn’t want to do so, but she didn’t even dare entertain such a thought!

After all, the Ward family was already in such a desperate state that it was gasping for breath when they merely had some business conflicts with Norton Corporation. Thus, if she were to plan an assassination of the leader of Norton Corporation, the consequences would definitely be devastating once the matter came to light.

“Have you lost your mind, Carl Johnson?” Gabriella was both shocked and livid. “If you want to die, do so yourself! Don’t drag me down with you!”

She was living a dismal life now, but she was still the high and mighty young lady of the Ward family, not to mention a socialite at the upper echelons of society. Despite being rather embarrassed at the recent turn of events, she believed that everything would pass.

However, if she were to assassinate Larry and Joan, she would certainly lose everything were it to come to light even if the attempt succeeded. Worse still, she might even pay with her life.

“I know your concerns, Gabriella, but are you really that indifferent when you see Joan Watts by the side of the man whom you once loved deeply? What’s more, he even relegated you to your circumstances now because of that b*tch, Joan Watts!”

Knowing that she wouldn’t agree, Carl started reeling her in with various enticements.

“Joan Watts’ position now should have been yours, but that’s not the case now. Don’t you hate her when you think of how happy she is with Larry Norton?”

“Of course, I do! How could I possibly not hate her?”

Hatred glinted in Gabriella’s eyes. How I wish that Joan would just drop dead!

“But this matter is simply too serious. I don’t have such capability.”

“No, that’s not true. You simply lack the guts to do it because you worry too much. The loathing you harbor toward Joan Watts have you wishing that you could slash her into ribbons, but you can’t do anything to her because of Larry Norton. Also, you’re afraid of losing your identity now because it’s more than sufficient to allow you to enjoy life. But have you ever considered…”

At that, Carl deliberately paused for a moment so that Gabriella could hear him loud and clear.
