A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2769

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2769

I Will Take The Blame

“Ms. Young!” Joan hurried to her side.

“Shh, don’t say anything. Listen to what I have to say,” Delilah said, holding Joan’s hands in hers.

Then, she continued impassively, “I’m sorry, everyone. I was the one who sold these flowers, so I’ll bear full responsibility.”

The middle-aged woman looked at Joan and then at Delilah awkwardly. “My daughter said it was Joan who sold her the flowers.”

Her goal was to get Joan arrested, so she would definitely not let anyone disrupt her plan.

“The flowers were wrapped by me. Your daughter must have remembered it wrongly,” Delilah insisted. Her persistence shocked Joan.

“We want to check the surveillance footage!” the young man yelled, displeased.

“I’m sorry. We’ve just started this business, so we haven’t had the time to install a surveillance camera yet.” Delilah was grateful that they did not have the security camera at the moment. Otherwise, her lie would have been exposed.

As those people started to discuss among themselves, Delilah crept closer to Joan and whispered, “I’ll take the blame first while you investigate the truth.”

Joan understood her instantly.

Just then, police came in and said to Delilah, “Come along with us to the police station.”

Delilah was then detained there.

The person who was supposed to be at the police station was Joan. However, the poisoned customer fell into a coma suddenly, so there was no one who could point out the person who sold the flowers. Moreover, there was indeed no security camera in the store, so Delilah took the blame to give Joan the time to find out the truth.

Meanwhile, Larry still had his hands full with work abroad, so he had not known about what happened to Joan back in Chanaea until Caspian gave him a call.

“Larry, when will you be back?” Caspian sounded anxious.

“What’s wrong?” he questioned solemnly, having a bad feeling about it.

“Joan and Ms. Young are in trouble.” There was a hint of anxiousness in Caspian’s voice. “A customer was poisoned after buying the flowers from their shop.”

Poisoned? Larry was stunned for a moment before grabbing his jacket and running out of the hotel. He continued to listen to the information given by Caspian while giving his assistant a call to ask her to book the earliest flight back immediately.
