Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1753

“It’s you? Gabriella… Gabriella Ward?”

Jory glanced over at Nancy with a slightly surprised look. How did she know her? However, he soon composed himself, making it seem as though nothing had happened.

“Nancy Barrymore… If I’m not wrong, that’s your name. You’re the daughter of Barrymore Group’s chairman.” Gabriella then stretched out a hand toward Nancy, wanting to give her a handshake.

Before Nancy could even reach her hand out, Jory had slapped away Gabriella’s outstretched one. If one were close enough, they would be able to see the red marks left behind on Gabriella’s pale hand.

Instantly, both parties’ eyes had a fiery look to them. From Jory’s aura, one could clearly tell that he disliked Gabriella a lot.

“Is this how you greet your collaborating partner?” Gabriella asked as she kept on a smile. Compared to the Gabriella of the past, she was now a little calmer. If the same situation had happened before, she would have been tearing her hair out by then.

“Shut up!” shouted Jory. Never would anyone have expected that Jory would be the one that was stressed out instead. Looks like he doesn’t want Nancy to find out that he’d cooperated with me before.

Gabriella looked the man up and down. Besides not revealing his name, he had also suggested a collaboration but refused to tell her about its purpose and details. While he knew everything about her, she knew nothing about him.

However, at that moment, she was no longer totally ignorant. At least she knew then that the mysterious S cared about Nancy very much.

“Have you not been able to go home recently, Ms. Ward? Or rather, has Mr. Ward come to pick you?”

Although her voice sounded sweet, it carried a dangerous undertone. If one was not careful, they might fall into her trap without realizing it.

That brat actually dared to rub salt into my wounds? Does she have something against me? Or is she purposely siding with Jory to piss me off? Gabriella was not a fool. She was able to tell that Jory did not want to see her. However, Nancy seemed to be linked to Norton Corporation, making her feel very curious.

“No. I’m tired of the rich lifestyle. I want to live a life of self-reliance now,” replied Gabriella, trying her best to glamorize her hard life.

Sensing the familiarity in Gabriella’s words, Jory froze. Isn’t this what I’ve just said earlier in the elevator? Coming to think of it, she and I are really no different… He had a wealthy family and business but did not want to inherit it. Instead, he wanted to live an ordinary person’s life while making it clear that he was self-reliant.
