A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2793

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2793

Bad People

After a long time, Larry switched off the lights in the living room and went to the bedroom, only to see Joan fast asleep on the bed, painting a serene picture.

He walked to the bedside table and opened the drawer, then took out a bracelet from the jewelry box inside. After carefully putting it on for Joan, he lay down beside her and closed his eyes.

The next morning, Joan woke up and tiptoed all the way to the living room. After grabbing the case, she left before anyone knew where she was going.

The man in bed grunted softly when the glaring sunlight pierced through his eyelids.

Larry stretched lazily before slowly opening his eyes. That was when he realized the spot next to him was empty.

“Joan?” he called out, but there was no response.

Has she left already? Larry sprung out of the bed and ran to the living room. Just like he feared, the case was gone.

Sh*t! He quickly grabbed his phone and powered on the GPS software. Luckily, he had the foresight to put on the bracelet for her the previous night.

“Caspian, bring over a few men.”

In no time, a dozen or so cars parked in front of Delilah’s house, with the men inside ready to carry out all orders.

“Stay here and wait for my call. Don’t do anything rash.” With that, Larry got into his car. He knew Joan’s exact location. At that moment, she was still on the way to the destination. He couldn’t catch up to her right away or the people who kidnapped Delilah and Lucius might change their minds or even worse, kill them.

“What are you doing, Larry? We should be looking for Joan. Why are you going around in circles?” Caspian looked at the man beside him dubiously.

“The kidnappers found out that you were following Joan yesterday,” Larry answered.

Realization instantly dawned on Caspian and the car was quiet once again.

Larry kept checking his watch, as though he was waiting for something. Finally, when the minute hand reached twelve, he floored the accelerator.

Caspian was slightly freaked out by Larry’s nervous expression throughout the way.

Meanwhile, Joan had already reached the meeting location. Scanning her surroundings, she yelled loudly, “I’m Joan Watts. I have your money!”
