A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1769

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1769

Larry shook his head. “We are too careless. When Dustin spoke to me, he told me Alpire Group’s target was the entire Norton Corporation. We didn’t take him seriously then. That was a big mistake from the beginning. They just wanted to lower our guard so that they can achieve their objective faster.”

“No, Dustin wouldn’t do that,” Joan mumbled to herself. As if he was woken from a dream, Larry took out his phone and searched for Dustin’s number. “That’s right. Dustin must know something about this.”

As Joan watched him make the call, they waited for a whole thirty-seven seconds before they heard a female robotic voice inform them that there was no one answering. Both of them exchanged glances and were puzzled as to what was going on.

Joan quickly found her phone on the bed. As if she was grabbing on to the last glimmer of hope, she called Dustin’s number.

Thirty-seven seconds later, she raised her gaze at Larry as the phone she was holding slipped onto the bedsheet.

“No one is picking up.”

After a while, Larry turned off his phone as the flood of notifications he was receiving was giving him a headache. “No, I must head to the office at once.”

Tossing her blanket aside, Joan pushed back her hair. “I’m coming with you.”

News traveled fast indeed. Before they even reached the office, the media had caught wind of the situation and the news dominated the headlines of all major websites.

When Nancy was waiting at a red light, she reached into her bag for a bottle of mineral water. Just when she lifted her head to drink, she heard the news being broadcasted over the radio, causing her to almost spew the water out from her mouth.

“After a brief respite, Alpire Group is back in action in its’ acquisition of Norton Corporation’s subsidiary again…”

Alpire Group? Alpire Group! Does Jory have something to do with this? Is he attacking Norton Corporation again? Fearful of thinking any further, she turned the car around and sped toward Jory’s office.
