Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1754

However, the only difference was that even though he was “wandering” around outside, Jory still received money from his father every month, although he had never used it before. In comparison, Gabriella had really been kicked out of her house and had nowhere else to go.

Jory was very touched when Nancy took his side and stood up for him, for she had not questioned him alongside Gabriella. Instead, she was showing her unconditional trust in him by speaking up for him.

“So… after you’ve bothered Larry about every little thing, did you change targets?”

Jory only knew that Gabriella had been kicked out of the house by Landon because of an unspeakable matter and had no interest in knowing what the problem actually was. Thus, he had not bothered about her past before he asked her for help.

Yet, as soon as Nancy said those words, both Jory and Gabriella’s faces hardened. They had probably wanted to ask why Nancy knew about that. At that moment, Gabriella was raging with fury. She had originally only wanted to knock Nancy off her high horse because she seemed to know nothing. She had not expected that brat to attack her.

As it happened, it was a mere casual remark from Nancy as she only heard a little about the rumors. Nevertheless, she had never believed anything that was not based on fact.

Previously, there had been a few times when she asked Joan about it, but the latter always seemed to avoid answering the question. As Nancy was an outsider, it was appropriate for her to continue probing further. Never would she have thought that there would come a day where those rumors would come in handy. Moreover, judging by Gabriella’s expression, it seemed to be true.

“You!” Jory clenched his fist so tightly that his veins were popping out. His knuckles were white, and it was as if a strong force was prompting him to raise his arm for a strike.

Nancy then grabbed him on the wrist. Although Gabriella was mocking her, she was so much calmer than Jory was. However, Nancy’s palm on his skin was still cold to the touch, revealing that she was actually very nervous and was angrier than he was.

The two most difficult things to practice in the world were patience and understanding. At that very moment, Nancy was having an internal conflict in managing those two. Gabriella’s words were indeed describing whatever Nancy was doing then. Therefore, while Nancy wanted to rebut her, there was nothing she could refute.

“Why aren’t you talking? Did I hit the nail on the head and make you feel uncomfortable?” asked Gabriella, taking the opportunity to provoke her even further when Nancy kept silent.
