Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2095
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”
It was the same message, over and over again.
Larry! Where the hell are you at a time like this? You should be here by now! And now you’re not even answering the phone! Joan stomped her feet in fury.
“What is it, Joan?” Suddenly, Caiden appeared before her.
Why is he here? How odd.
“Nothing. It’s just… Lucius and I are waiting for someone…” Joan smiled faintly.
You’re waiting for that scumbag Larry, aren’t you? I’m afraid he’s at the airport right now. Caiden sneered.
“Next, let’s welcome Mr. Caiden Owens, the sponsor of this event, to come up and say a few words,” the headmaster called out.
The crowd gave a round of applause.
You’re the sponsor? Joan looked at him in confusion. She found the turn of events somewhat inconceivable.
Caiden merely put on a smile and made his way onto the platform.
“Oh, my. He’s quite handsome! And so young too!”
“How true. But it’s not meant to be. We’re already married.”
“Oh, come off it! I’m telling you, he’s a self-made tycoon. He built his empire from scratch…”
Nearby, some women gossiped among themselves.
Joan had never checked on Caiden’s history and background, for she had been sure that the two of them would not meet again. Right then, it seemed she had made a formidable… friend. Whether he was friend or foe remained to be determined.
“Dear parents, teachers, and students, good day, and nice to meet you all. I’m Caiden Owens…”
He delivered his speech in such a calm and collected manner. It seemed that he was not a stranger to an event like the one they were having. Joan listened intently to his speech.
