A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2821

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2821

The two had known each other for a while now, and his heart had once harbored love as well as hate for Joan at different times in his life. Yet ultimately, his heart only ever yearned for her.

“You’re right, but I would never resort to harming others as you’re doing now. I would take down Larry by dealing a proper blow to his career instead of taking cheap shots and hiring people to get rid of him.” Jake’s words were resolute.

Della believed him.

After all, men and women were inherently different in this aspect; men openly fought for what their hearts desired, whilst women used nasty tricks like framing and slandering others to get what they wanted.

“I’ll pretend none of this happened. The huge sum you paid that man? Let it be a lesson to you. But remember, Della, this can never happen again. I’ll spare you for now because you helped me back then. However, if you pull another stunt like this, don’t blame me for taking extreme measures against you.” Jake’s features hardened into a serious, threatening stare as he uttered those words.

Della looked outside the window, unwilling to meet his gaze. Anger and dissatisfaction fumed inside her chest. She couldn’t help but gnaw on her fingernails as she questioned inwardly, Why does everyone rush to that b*tch’s rescue?

Ring! Ring!

Jake immediately answered his phone.

“Mr. Wilson, we’ve rescued Ms. Watts.”

At that, Jake dropped everything he was doing with Della and drove away. It wasn’t long before he rapidly arrived at his destination and was approaching a frazzled-looking Joan. The doctor stated that while she hadn’t suffered from any injuries, her emotions appeared to be slightly unstable.

“Joan? It’s me, Jake.” His gentle tone contrasted with his tight grip on her shoulders. It revealed how anguishedly he wanted for her to be okay.

In response, Joan flung his hand off of her shoulders. Panic flitted across her eyes as she pointed at Jake and screamed hysterically, “You’re a bad person! You’re all bad people!”

Pain and fear had consumed the woman’s mind, rendering her a little insane.

A bitter ache spread across Jake’s chest as he watched the woman he loved tremble so miserably. He then snapped coldly, “Doctor. What exactly is wrong with her?”
