At that moment, a woman was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, staring daggers at them.
“Gabriella?” In his office, Larry answered his phone with a frown.
“Alright, I know.” Larry ended the call. Just as expected, she is working with Alpire Group.
Looking out the window, Larry’s eyes flashed with curiosity. What is she really up to?
“Wait, Mr. Norton is busy.” Suddenly, Dustin barged into Larry’s office.
“What are you doing here?” Larry looked at the intruder sternly.
“I’m just curious as to how much progress you have made with your problem?” Dustin gloated with a smirk.
“Thanks for your concern. I’m handling it right now.”
Handling it? Dustin scoffed.
“Mr. Norton, I would like to remind you that no matter who it was that acquired Norton Corporation’s subsidiary, I would like you to keep your eyes open and not implicate innocents,” Dustin snapped.
Jory was the heir to Alpire Group which acquired Norton Corporation’s subsidiary. Hence, he didn’t want Larry to blame Jory for everything. Furthermore, Jory was his best friend and he didn’t want Jory to be wrongly accused.
“Don’t worry, the truth will be revealed eventually. Regardless of what the result is, someone will be held accountable as I will ferret out the person behind this.” Larry glared coldly at Dustin.
Ever since Alpire Group repeatedly took over Norton Corporation’s subsidiaries. Larry suddenly regained the prowess he used to have in business.
Ring! Ring!
Larry checked his phone and answered.
“Hello, Joan?”
“Sure, sure. Anything will do. As long as it’s by you, I will definitely like it. Alright, I’ll come back earlier today…”
When he heard Joan’s name, Dustin’s heart dropped, causing him to leave the office in silence.
“Nancy, I have to let you know that Caspian saw you and Jory at the mall. You have to be more careful and find an opportunity to tell him the truth. You have to do it sooner or later anyway. Besides, it’s better than him finding out.” Joan looked at Nancy with concern.
“But, Joan, I really don’t know how to tell him. Did you know that he has been trying his best to impress me recently?” Nancy was in a dilemma.
“But what do you plan to do? You want a divorce because you love Jory and not him. If you don’t do something about this soon, a lot more people will get hurt.” Joan was furious.
Nancy was never like that.
She was the one who insisted on getting a divorce, and now she has doubts about her own decision.
Nancy fell silent.
No matter how persistent a woman was, there would always be times when she wavered. Nancy wasn’t blind to how much effort Caspian had put into the relationship.
Ring! Ring! Her phone suddenly rang.
Checking it, she saw that it was Caspian. At that moment, she instinctively felt like avoiding him.
As the screen continued to blink with his name, Nancy didn’t have the courage to pick up.
The phone continued to ring as if it would do so for eternity until she answered. After Joan gave Nancy a look, she answered the phone on her behalf.
“Hello, Caspian?” Joan replied softly.
“Oh, Joan, it’s you. Where’s Nancy?” Caspian sounded concerned.
“I’m having lunch with her. But she’s at the ladies now,” Joan casually replied.
However, Joan could detect that something was amiss in Caspian’s tone, causing her to worry.
“Caspian, what’s wrong?”
“Erm, it’s nothing. I… erm… let’s talk about it some other time.”
Some other time?
Joan was certain something was wrong. What could cause a straightforward man like Caspian to stutter to that extent?
