Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1547

“Not yet,” mused Larry. “Whoever was behind the assault wanted to harm us, yet at the same time not wanting us to be dead. Clearly, they’re afraid of being dragged into this matter if we did die.”

This would mean whoever was behind the attack would benefit from my injury. If I were to lose an arm and had to be admitted to the hospital for some time, the administrations of Norton Corporation would be all over the place. If so, who would benefit from it?

The wheels in Larry’s brain kept turning as he went through the names in his memory, eliminating those he believed to be innocent. In the end, he zeroed in on the most likely suspects.

The Wards or the Johnsons!

The more Larry thought about it, the more possible it seemed to be true. In fact, he was almost convinced that it was them behind the events that night.

“They really don’t know what’s best for them, do they?” murmured Larry softly to himself.

Ever since Carl Johnson and Gabriella Ward plotted against him and Joan, Norton Corporation had suppressed the Wards and the Johnsons, causing both families to struggle as they tried to stay afloat.

Nonetheless, it had never crossed Larry’s mind to kill or harm anyone. He just intended for them to suffer for a while so that they would repent.

However, perhaps the two families did not agree.

If I were hurt and Norton Corporation be thrown into chaos, they would have the opportunity to take a breather and start afresh. Perhaps that was why they had planned the assault.

Although that was a very likely theory, it was still a lot of guesswork. Without solid proof, Larry would never act hastily.

“Caspian, I’m going to need your help again. Help me investigate the recent movements of the Wards and the Johnsons. Moreover, I also suspect that Gabriella and Carl were behind this,” instructed Larry.

Caspian looked up at Larry and tucked away his note. “One more thing. Carl Johnson had been seen asking about the details on hiring assassins when he was drinking with a bunch of thugs in a bar. That’s all we have so far.”

With that being said, Caspian fell silent as he waited for Larry to speak.

“That’s enough for us to safely conclude that it was Carl Johnson and Gabriella Ward who were responsible for this. On one hand, they probably hate us for ruining their reputation and therefore wanted to seek revenge. On the other hand, they would have wanted for me to be injured so their families can benefit from my absence.” Larry placed his hands on his chin as he expressed his thoughts.

“If I were injured, some weight would be lifted from their households. I might even let them off the hook. And they thought that everything was carefully planned out. Hah!” Larry scoffed. “They’ve truly underestimated the power of Norton Corporation.”

Larry analyzed the clues given by Caspian. He was now certain that the assault was planned by none other than Carl and Gabriella.

“So, what’s next, Boss?”
