He had long resented Alpire Group because of their earlier attempt at taking over Norton Corporation and after he heard about Jory’s return.
After calming Caspian down, Larry turned on his computer and looked through some data and documents about the company.
Ding! Larry took a quick glance and saw that it was a message notification.
It was a text message from Gabriella: Mr. Norton, are you free for a cup of coffee tomorrow?
Larry was puzzled as to why Gabriella would want to invite him for coffee during such a time. Sensing that she was definitely up to no good, he rejected her right away.
Given that he already had Joan, Larry subconsciously kept his distance from Gabriella.
Gabriella was enraged by his rejection, causing her hatred toward him to intensify.
“Hmph, it seems you have been very busy.” Gabriella barged into Jory’s office.
Jory wasn’t surprised by Gabriella’s sudden appearance at all. He had accepted their partnership and had seen her for who she truly was.
“What are you doing here?” Jory asked coldly without even looking up.
Gabriella swaggered her way up to Jory. “I’m here to see my partner. Am I not allowed to do so?”
Partner? Jory sneered.
Can it be that she is behind the recent acquisition of Norton Corporation’s subsidiary by Alpire Group?
It was human nature to always stir trouble until they got what they wanted. Given that Gabriella couldn’t be together with Larry, she naturally couldn’t stand to see Larry living happily together with Joan, not to mention she was kicked out because of Larry.
“If you have something to say, spit it out. Or else, leave.” Jory would never treat a person such as Gabriella with respect. If not for Nancy, he would never even consider working with her.
“Why are you in a hurry to chase me out, Mr. Synder? Aren’t we partners after all?” Gabriella winked at him while smiling deviously.
Given how sharp he was, Gabriella’s actions did not escape Jory’s notice. Prior to this, he turned a blind eye when Gabriella pushed for Alpire Group to acquire Norton Corporation’s subsidiary. After all, that was what Dustin wanted too. So, what does she want today?
“Tell me, what do you want?” Jory glared at her coldly.
“Fine. Since you’re so eager to know, I’ll not beat around the bush. By now, I’m sure you would have guessed that my objective is to have Larry to myself. The recent acquisition of Norton Corporation’s subsidiary is just a trivial matter. As for me, I will help you remove Caspian. How about that? I’m sure that you will be very happy with this deal.” Gabriella tousled her own hair.
As Nancy was everything to Jory, she firmly believed that it was a deal he couldn’t refuse.
However, Jory suddenly recalled that Nancy had told him before that Larry and Joan were her best friends and she didn’t want to see them get hurt.
“So how about it? Mr. Synder?” Gabriella gave Jory a suspicious look.
“I wonder what will happen if Caspian found out about you and Nancy. Would he go crazy…” Gabriella remarked on purpose.
Jory had no idea what Caspian was like. However, he had heard that Caspian was extremely stubborn. If Nancy was somehow hurt because of him, it would definitely not be worth the risk. Given how difficult it was for him to get back together with her, Jory would not tolerate her getting hurt at all.
However…
“So, Mr. Synder. Have you made up your mind?” Gabriella looked at him in anticipation.
Staring back at Gabriella, Jory smiled insidiously. As both of them shook on the deal, it was considered to be done.
