Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2133

That remark caught Caiden off guard. He’s right. Mom will never approve of my decision in pursuing Joan, but what right does she have to meddle in my life? Since I was a child, all she and Dad ever did was throw money at me. They never once showed genuine concern for me. Since they weren’t present for my entire childhood, they sure as hell don’t have the right to dictate my life now!

Just then, Jaden came out of his room to add, “By the way, your mom wants you to go home for a meal this week. She threatened to come straight here if you don’t. You better get your thoughts straight. I’ve already done my part by delivering her message, but you can do whatever you want.”

Seated downstairs, Caiden’s lips curled into a sneer. Home? Do I even have a home to begin with?

“Tell her I’m not going home,” Caiden said in a clipped tone.

The resolve and animosity in his tone rendered Jaden inarticulate.

Forget it. It’s up to him!

In the quiet office, Larry was leaning back on the sofa while resting his eyes. Outside his office, everyone was busy with their work. Larry’s devotion to the company boosted their confidence. Naturally, they didn’t dare to slack when their boss was working overtime every day.

“Larry, why don’t you go home and take a nap? This isn’t the way to go. Your health is more important.” Caspian studied the man with worry and distress written across his features.

“Don’t worry. I’ll catch a few winks here. How are things going with the foreign manufacturer?” Larry queried in a weary voice.

“I haven’t been able to contact their boss yet. Apparently, he’s a very difficult person to get in touch with. It appears that he rarely returns to the country, but don’t worry. I’ll utilize all our connections to find him,” Caspian reassured.

It’s already been so long, yet there’s still no news about the foreign manufacturer. The domestic manufacturers are disappearing without a trace, one after another. If this goes on, it’ll only be a matter of time before Norton Corporation faces a severe withdrawal of shares.

“Find him as soon as possible. Once you do, I’ll fly over immediately. Look for his assistant or perhaps his relatives; anyone who’s affiliated with him,” Larry ordered while massaging his temples.

What the hell? Does this assistant have a thing for Larry or something? Why else would she be so adamant on stopping me? Jessica shot a cold glare at the assistant.

Faced with her chilling gaze, the assistant subconsciously backed away a few steps.

In the end, she decided to come clean. “Miss, you really can’t go in there right now. Mr. Norton has been working overtime recently. He’s tired. He’s currently sleeping in his office, so can you wait until he wakes up before going in?”

She knew this woman would make a scene just like how Gabriella had done in the past if she didn’t tell the truth.

This was how such women were. Once provoked, they could very well go off the deep end. Some of them looked virtuous and docile, but that was only because they hadn’t reached their tipping point. Once they did, even their boyfriends and family wouldn’t be able to stand in their way.

“Oh. Well, why didn’t you say so? I thought you were intentionally stopping me from entering because you had a crush on your boss or something.” Jessica sized up the woman in front of her.
