Chapter 2966
Yes, yes, it's exactly because they've helped her a lot that she keeps bringing up Larry Norton and Joan Watts every day! Worse still, she always agrees whenever they ask something of her! Jory threw Nancy a look, not in the mood to entertain the woman in front of him anymore.
"Okay, stop sulking.It's just a few days, so there's no need for you to be this mad.Larry is a businessman, and the same goes for you, so the two of you may even have the opportunity for collaboration in the future."
"Hah! I have no interest in collaborating with him!"
As Jory said that, he got up and stormed up the stairs.
In truth, he was merely sick of it all.
Life is between two people, so why should it involve others? When Joan was sick, we had to visit her; when she got missing, we had to send people to look for her; when she was angry, we even had to cajole her surreptitiously...
If I'd Known that this would've happened, ! would've forbidden Nancy from keeping in contact with them! Meanwhile, Joan was reading newspaper in the living room.
"What are you doing?"
Larry inquired softly as he walked in.
"Reading newspaper for a bit.Why are you so late today?"
Joan asked gently even as she stood up and headed toward him.
"There's quite a lot of work in the office recently.Oh yes, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so you must be careful at home alone"
Larry urged with feigned calmness.
Truth be told, he was reluctant to part with her though his greater worry was over her safety.
Nonetheless, he had no choice but to leave since he had already promised Fred previously.
"Huh? You're leaving tomorrow itself?"
Joan echoed in disappointment, lowering her head as her gaze dimmed.
Unbidden, reluctance welled within her.
"Don't worry, for I'll be back very soon."
Larry hugged her tightly from behind and kissed her neck lightly.
Okay, then.
I understand his situation.
Joan nodded without saying anything.
Hmph! What do I have to fear now? Her lips curved into a smirk.
Then, she clenched her jaw tightly as her expression contorted with malice.
Weil, well...
You'll never escape me, Joan Watts! Knock, knock, knock! A series of loud and urgent knocks rang out at the door.
Hmm? Who could that be? Upon hearing the knocking, Joan instantly bolted up with apprehension etched on her face.
"Larry!"
This voice sounds rather familiar...
Joan slowly got out of bed and walked out of the room.
"Open up, Larry! It’s me, Gabriella!"
Outside the door, the woman's voice was exceedingly coy.
Gabriella? Don't tell me it's that Gabriella? What has she got to do with Larry? All at once, Joan's guard went up.
Don't tell me she's now his mistress? No, that's impossible! Larry isn't the kind of person who would cheat!
