A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1541

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1541

As for Carl, the assassination plan would ensure that Gabriella was firmly bound to him. It would result in a great possibility of her marrying him, so it would only be a matter of time before he inherited the assets of the Ward family.

Most importantly, a sense of gratification flooded both Gabriella and Carl at the thought of Larry and Joan lying in the hospital because of their plan.

To them, nothing made them happier than having obtained their revenge.

After having discussed everything, they both went their separate ways. Carl was tasked with informing the assassins of the plan. Gabriella, on the other hand, not only had to prepare the money but also furtively use the Ward family’s influence to investigate Larry and Joan’s exact movements.

When Gabriella went home, she headed straight for her bedroom, but she just so happened to bump into Landon.

“Where did you go?”

Ever since the Ward family started having financial problems, Landon had never been amiable with Gabriella. When they would usually bump into each other, he either put on a cold expression and said nothing or chastise her impatiently.

While Gabriella felt extremely aggrieved at that, she didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint.

“I went out to meet a friend,” Gabriella answered cautiously.

“What friend? I hope it wasn’t any of those useless friends of yours?” Landon demanded impatiently.

“No, it was my best girlfriend. She was feeling down, so she asked me to keep her company and lend her an ear,” Gabriella fibbed.

She knew that he would definitely blow a gasket if she were to tell him that she went to meet Carl.

“Good. Don’t simply wander around these days. The Ward family is now in a crisis, so I don’t have much time to take care of you. Also, don’t make any more trouble for me.”

Landon’s tone was much better now. Although he was still peeved, Gabriella was still his daughter, so he couldn’t simply shut his eyes to her.

“Got it, Dad. You should rest more, too. I’m sorry for having worried you.”

Despite his belligerent demeanor toward her recently, Gabriella could still sense the concern underlying his words.

“I’m fine, so you can get back to your work.”
