Chapter 2950
"Were you the one behind Joan's abduction?" Jake directly asked her.
Since Della knew beforehand that Jake would ask her about Joan, she was mentally prepared for his question.
"No!" She answered confidently.
Although I may have spurred Abelyn into hurting Joan, I'm not the one who actually hurt Joan.
Why should I take the blame? Jake stared intently at Della.
if it wasn't her then who else would do such a thing? Or is she lying to me? However, it really doesn't seem like she's lying.
"Della, we're on the same boat here.You don't have to be mendacious with me” Jake replied.
This son of a b*tch! How dare he put me on the same boat as him! Peeved, Della let out a snort.
"Like I said just now, it wasn't me who did it.Why are you pinning the blame on me?" Della responded.
It was the first time Jake saw Della being so serious and obstinate.
It looks like there's more to this than I thought.
Jake glanced vacuously outside the window as he fell into his thoughts.
"Sometimes, people aren't what they seem to be.Don't simply judge a book by its cover." Having said that, Della took her purse on the sofa and left.
After hearing Della's statement, Jake was a bit baffled.
That being said, since he was ten times smarter than an average joe, it didn't take him long to figure out the meaning behind Della's words.
It looks like there's a despicable person hiding among Joan's circle.
I hope she'll be okay.Knowing her, she probably won't be wary enough of those close to her, which is a bit concerning...
Larry, after staying by her side for so long, you still couldn't manage to protect her! Jake gazed out the window with his cold and lifeless eyes.
Having finally found Joan, Larry was reluctant to leave her side as he was still worried about her.
"Larry, are you not going to work?"
Joan murmured while sitting on the couch in the living room.
