A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1684

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1684

Gabriella let out a faint smile and accepted the card back from Joan. “Okay then, if that’s what you want. Remember, it’s not that I don’t want to pay my debt; it’s because you insisted on giving the money to me. I’ll accept your kindness quietly then. By the way, don’t ever bring up my debt again. Consider the green tea in front of you as my payment.”

Amused, Joan laughed out loud. “Is this some sort of super tea?”

Unperturbed by Joan’s joke, Gabriella was reminded of her objective—the special device in her left palm. She needed to focus on completing her mission.

She grabbed her phone that was out of battery which she had prepared beforehand and feigned a sad expression. “I want to call my friend and tell her the good news, but my phone died.”

She showed the phone to Joan as she said that. Jory only instructed me to get my hands on her phone. Having known Joan so well, this method should work flawlessly.

As expected, Joan immediately lent her phone over to Gabriella after seeing the dead phone. “Don’t worry, you can use mine.”

Gabriella gave Joan a polite smile before heading to the bathroom with Joan’s phone.

In the bathroom, she effortlessly opened the rear casing of Joan’s phone. The black special device in her palm was soaked with her sweat as she was very distressed at the moment. Recalling Joan’s kindness toward her, the overwhelming guilt almost persuaded her to throw away the special device and forget about everything.

The special device was sucked in once it came into contact with the back of the phone. It seemed like it was magnetized to the phone. After putting the rear casing back on the phone, the phone looked like it was never tampered with in the first place.

Gabriella then used Joan’s phone to call a contrived number that she had prepared beforehand and let the call run for two minutes. After seeing the two-minute call appearing on the call logs, the vise that was gripping Gabriella’s chest all day long finally loosened up.

When Jory handed over the black device to her, he didn’t inform her about the function of the device. That being said, Gabriella didn’t really care as long as she got her money in the end.
