Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1808

Despite being a shrewd businessman, Jory despised people who used unscrupulous means to get what they wanted. Besides, Caspian was innocent. What happened between Nancy and himself was their own fault.

Gabriella stared at the man before her in disbelief.

Why does he even care about how I do it as long as I give him what he wants? It’s the end that matters, not the means!

“Take this and leave,” Jory demanded, taking out a check. “This should be more than enough for you. Let me know if you need more. I’ll give it to you.”

The woman let out a scoff of nonchalance.

Do you think one million will solve everything? What I truly want is Larry and only Larry!

Gabriella’s cold stare landed on the check Jory had just placed on the table.

Where there’s life, there’s hope. I’ll make sure all of you pay for what you’ve done to me. Just wait until I get all the money I need!

Bearing that sinister thought in mind, she swallowed her pride as a bitter smile played on her lips.

“Do you think you can settle our score with just one million, Mr. Synder?”

Who do you think I am? One million alone will not appease me.

Jory looked at her in disdain.

“How much do you want?” he asked without giving her a second glance.

Gabriella didn’t hesitate. “Two million. Give me two million now, and I’ll leave.”

Jory lifted his gaze in slight surprise. Whatever. As long as I don’t have to see you ever again.

Gabriella’s eyes went red as she watched the man scribble away on the check.

She could not believe she had just stooped so low to bargain for two million. She grabbed up the fresh check and left right after, contacting Larry almost immediately.

Ring!

Larry took a quick look at his phone but did not bother answering it, seeing as the call was from Gabriella.
