Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1525

The journalists raised some pointed questions, but Carl had come prepared. As long as he played the victim card while announcing the “truth,” everything else would develop naturally.

“Before Joan and Larry, the president of Norton Corporation, got engaged, I was her one true love! “It’s all Larry’s fault! He was the one who forced us to break up. He also threatened me that if I come looking for Joan again, he’ll go to any lengths to cause devastation to my family and myself!

“My family is of little significance. How could we possibly compete with the powerful Norton Corporation? So, reluctantly, I vowed never to see Joan again. “So much time has passed, yet I still cannot forget her. Left without a choice, I created a fake identity to meet Joan. That way, I don’t have to worry about retaliation from the Norton Corporation. I just didn’t expect my cover to be blown.”

Carl put up a miserable front as he spoke. The journalists at the scene were instantly hooked and began to buy his lie.

“Mr. Johnson, so what you’re saying is, you and Ms. Watts have been madly in love with each other all this time, but it was Mr. Norton, the president of Norton Corporation, who destroyed your relationship?”

The journalists continued to ask. They could hardly believe that Larry was the third party in that relationship.

“No, Joan doesn’t love me anymore. She has made her choice. Larry is indeed a much more suitable partner for her compared to me. But I just can’t forget about her, so I came to see her.”

And with that, tears welled up in his eyes.

To their relief, Larry was not who they imagined him to be—a person who would come between other people’s relationships. It was certainly unrealistic to think that the dignified president of Norton Corporation would turn out to be such a despicable person. If that were true, the journalists might have second thoughts about broadcasting the interview.

“Mr. Johnson, if what you’re saying is true, then we certainly sympathize with what you’ve been through. But please know that Ms. Watts has a fiancé now. So it’s not right of you to keep pestering Ms. Watts like this.”

One of the journalists was sharp enough to point out.

“I know what I’m doing isn’t right, but I just have to see her and our child.”

Carl, with his head lowered, admitted with a twinge of sorrow.
