Gabriella knew Jory was right.
He did not need her to get things done.
At the same time, Jory was starting to think that something must have gone wrong with him when he agreed to work together with the woman.
“Okay, Mr. Synder. I was just joking with you. Why are you getting so worked up? I really do have a piece of good news for you…” Gabriella took a seat beside the man.
Jory gauged the woman again.
“Don’t worry, Caspian has been dealt with. I always achieve what I set out to do. You’re going to be able to get together with Nancy in no time.” A wicked glint flashed in her eyes.
Only Gabriella could have been capable of such a despicable act, setting Caspian up so that the man would leave Nancy out of overwhelming guilt for what he had done.
“Oh, what have you done?” Jory was starting to get intrigued.
“As for how I’ve done it, I don’t think it concerns you, Mr. Synder. You just need to know that you’re going to be able to be together with the woman of your dreams very soon. Oh right, don’t forget about our deal last time too, Mr. Synder. I really need to thank you for the photos, though,” Gabriella muttered in a low voice.
If it wasn’t for the man, she wouldn’t even have the money to employ a photographer.
“Gabriella, I have no interest in meddling in your business with Larry. All I’m doing is just making things easy for you.”
He recalled Nancy saying that both Larry and Joan were her best friends, and he did not wish to upset her.
“You’re right, Mr. Synder. You’re just making things easier for me. As for Larry, you have nothing to do with him.” Gabriella knew what was on Jory’s mind and attempted to appease the man.
Even though the man was young, Gabriella knew he was actually cunning as a fox.
“Okay, you may leave now,” Jory did not feel like playing nice anymore.
He’s asking me to leave already, just like that?
What a ruthless man.
“Okay then, Mr. Synder. I will not disturb you further. I am hoping that you will take good care of me in the future.” Gabriella turned on her heels to leave.
She believed that Jory was a man of his words, and he would walk his talk since he had agreed to work together with her.
After all, businessmen’s promises were as good as gold.
When she left, Gabriella’s lips curled into a wicked smile, wondering what would happen next.
“What did you say? Caspian has another woman?” Joan could not believe the words that came out of Larry’s mouth.
Larry also appeared to be in disbelief.
“No, that’s impossible. Caspian loves Nancy. How could he do something like that? Is there a misunderstanding?” Joan clutched tightly at her husband’s arms and asked.
Larry and Joan had known Caspian for a long time and knew what kind of person he was. However, nobody had forced him to come clean this time. He admitted to cheating on Nancy himself.
That was why Larry still thought something did not quite add up.
Knowing Caspian, Larry thought the man wouldn’t be so reckless, despite him being drunk. Then again, Caspian’s alcohol tolerance was above average. How would he get drunk that easily?
“Larry, what really happened? I don’t believe that Caspian would do something like this, even if he’s admitted that he did.” Joan was getting exasperated.
Nancy had fallen in love with Jory some time ago while Caspian had another woman. What in the world is going on? How could there be so much coincidence?
“Joan, listen to me. Please don’t let Nancy know about this just yet. Otherwise, she’s going to overthink this. I think a lot of things don’t add up. This is just not who he is. I think we have a lot to clarify in this matter, and we have to help him out. There’s no sense that he has to suffer for something that he hasn’t done…” Larry gauged his wife with a serious look on his face.
Caspian was his bodyguard and also his best friend. It was impossible for Larry to stand idly by when his friend had clearly been set up by someone else. There had to be more to this. Now all they needed was time to straighten out the facts.
