A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2872

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2872

That’s right! Today, I want to end things with Nancy! She owes me an explanation! So what if she’s a woman? That doesn’t mean she gets to do what she pleases! There’s no rule dictating that women are to be forgiven regardless of what they do!

Jake glared at the couple with a murderous glint in his eyes.

“Jake, this is between you and me. Leave the others out of this. Don’t involve them!” Larry shouted at the man despite being in a restless state.

Ho! So you finally realize this feud is actually between you and me? Why didn’t you think of that when you sent your people to storm my villa? It’s too late now! Anyone who has ever helped you is my enemy by default! I’m not letting any single one of them get away so easily!

Jake scoffed at Larry, displeasure written on his face.

“That day, all of you joined forces, broke into my villa, and took Joan away from me!

“Unfortunately for you, Joan only has eyes for me now. She has long forgotten every single one of you! We’d have already tied the knot by the time she remembers everything! But don’t you worry. I’ll take good care of her and make sure she’s treated like a queen, for she’s my one true love!”

“Oh, knock it off already!” Abelyn charged into the room, cutting Jake off.

“Just take a look at yourself! Do you really think you’re deserving of any affection? Get it into your head! Even if you get Joan to marry you, you can’t get her to fall in love with you!” Abelyn was pretty blunt with her words. She was familiar with how Joan’s mind worked, despite having next to no idea how she could defuse the current situation.

Joan does not love Jake, but she is willing to marry him to repay a debt of gratitude. Thus, Jake took advantage of her weakness and bugged her time and time again to marry him until she eventually surrendered.

It was no secret that Joan had always hated Jake the most, despite being indebted to him. But her guilt soon subsided after she became a victim of Jake’s scheme.

“Ask yourself, Jake. How has Joan treated you and Faye in the past? And how are you treating her now? Later on, she’s bullied and accused. Has that got anything to do with you? And yet, here you are, still lying to her,” Abelyn gave an emotional lecture. She did not like how things had escalated. She could not accept the idea of Joan being the victim of so much injustice!
