Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1765
Jory was stunned when he saw her staring at the cover of the document he was reading. On top of it, the words “Norton Corporation analyst report” were clearly written. He quickly turned the document face down. When the folder’s hardcover dropped on the desk, the resulting bang jolted both of them.
Suddenly, a ruthless look flashed within Jory’s eyes. Ever since he changed, he told himself that he would never give anyone the same look. But, in the face of the insolent Gabriella, he couldn’t help but break his own vow.
“Let me warn you one more time. Don’t meddle in my affairs.”
Gabriella’s eyes sparkled in triumph. “I knew it! The Norton Corporation’s stock price crash and subsequent takeover must have something to do with you. Now, I wonder if it’s somehow related to our partnership?”
She had expected Jory to be infuriated and to coerce her into keeping his secret. However, his expression became more resolute instead, as if it didn’t matter to him at all. In fact, he was actually smiling.
“Go ahead and tell everyone. If anyone believes you, I will consider that I have lost,” Jory declared confidently, “By then, I can hand you over to the police for disrupting public order.”
He was right. Without any proof, no one would believe her. But Jory was different. He was rich and powerful. Also, he wielded the influence of a large conglomerate. No matter what he did, there would be many who would willingly protect him.
There was no competition between the two of them at all.
Just when Gabriella wanted to vent her frustrations, she suddenly thought of Nancy. Coincidentally, she had met Nancy once before. When one had a weakness, one would no longer be invincible. Jory was no different as Nancy was his weakness.
She held onto her injured wrist. “Your plan of being together with Nancy is not realistic at all. The chairman of Barrymore Group would never admit that his daughter had an affair. Also, there’s still Caspian whom I interacted with before. He is a stubborn one. Although he isn’t meant for great things, he loves Nancy a lot.”
