Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2764
A Press Conference
Lucinda kept her head lowered, and her expression was conflicted. Ugh! What should I do? Should I expose Della Duff? She scratched her head as she continued mulling it over.
“It was Della Duff, yes?” Suddenly, Joan spun around and took a sip of wine.
Huh? How did she know that? Rushing over to her, Lucinda merely nodded forcefully without saying anything.
“Alright, I got it. I have a perfect solution…”
I can’t afford to cross Della Duff, yet Larry Norton and Joan Watts aren’t people I can afford to offend either! Thus, Lucinda knew that she must leave as soon as possible.
“What do you think about that?”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say, Joan Watts!” Lucinda agreed emphatically.
At her agreement, a satisfied smile tugged at Joan’s lips.
She knew that Della detested her, and she was also aware of her motive in doing all that, but she didn’t want to make things too complicated or cause her relationship with Della to deteriorate further.
“Why don’t you want to expose Ms. Duff?” Lucinda asked in puzzlement while looking at the woman in front of her seriously.
“That’s my business, so you don’t need to concern yourself about it.” While saying that, Joan left the room.
At the door, the moment Dustin saw her, he blurted, “How are you planning to handle it, Joan?”
“Let her go,” Joan answered blasely while waving a dismissive hand.
Huh? Let her go? Dustin shifted his gaze to the person in the room. What’s happening here? But since she has said as much, I’ll just do as she said. Hence, he shook his head and left with her.
In the private room, Lucinda kept puffing away on the sofa, looking exceedingly forlorn. Jeez, I really don’t know how I ended up in such a sorry state today!
Soon, a press conference was held as scheduled, and Lucinda rushed over to clarify the “truth” of the matter for Joan.
