Gabriella was indeed a troublemaker who couldn’t bear to see other people happy.
“Nancy, you have to believe in me and Larry.” Joan grabbed her friend’s hand to reassure her.
The two women did not linger and headed out of the café.
“Okay, we need to lay everything on the table, be it Nancy or Caspian. I think you guys are well aware that now is no time to bicker. We need to come up with a solution to sort out this mess. Violence will get us nowhere,” Larry spoke up with a stern look on his face.
Caspian turned to look at Jory, then back at Larry.
He believed in Larry. He’s like a big brother to me.
“How do you plan to sort this out, then?” Jory asked as he sipped on his coffee.
All of a sudden, Larry dragged Caspian to one side and looked straight into his eyes.
“Caspian, what happened between you and Nancy? Is there any way you guys can go back to the way it was?”
Caspian lowered his head, the glint in his eyes turned dull.
The look on his face was a roaring statement. Of course, Larry caught onto his friend.
“Okay, Caspian. Do you know what love is?” Larry asked.
“Love is when you hope to see the woman you love finds happiness. You will be happy if you see her smiling…” Larry explained.
Caspian knew what his friend meant, he just did not know how to express himself.
“Larry, I’ll listen to you,” Caspian said suddenly.
Larry patted his shoulders and gave him a slight smile.
He was relieved to have someone like Caspian as his best friend.
“Caspian, if you wish to see Nancy happy, then you should let her live the life which is possible for her to find happiness.”
It was clear as day what Larry was trying to say.
“And you’ve been framed for the affair. It’s not Nancy, it’s Gabriella. As to why she’s doing this, we’ll talk when we get back,” Larry said in a hushed tone.
Caspian clenched his fist tight.
“Mr. Norton, how do you have the heart to worry about other people when you haven’t even solved your own problems?” Gabriella said derisively.
She still remembered that Larry had sent her to the hospital after she was drunk, and how he had ruined her carefully thought-out plan.
“I will deal with my own problem. There’s no need for others to worry about me,” Larry retorted coldly.
Jory sat aside and transfixed his gaze at Caspian. He could not care less what happened between Larry and Gabriella.
“Mr. Synder, Caspian is like a brother to me. But he is Nancy’s husband, at least as of now he still is. Don’t you have a bit of explaining to do about that woman?” Larry snapped as he pointed at the woman whom Gabriella brought along.
Jory eyeballed the woman and snickered in response.
“What does it have anything to do with me?”
A cold glint flashed across Larry’s eyes.
“Nothing to do with you? To my best knowledge, Caspian has a very high alcohol tolerance, but he was so drunk that he had sex with the woman that night. I think Gabriella should know about this better than anyone else,” Larry said as he cast a sideways glance at Gabriella.
Yes, I’m involved in this, but what can he do? His company is in turmoil, and he already has enough to deal with. Yet, he still has the time and energy to clean up after Caspian. Is Larry out of his mind?
With the thought in mind, Gabriella fumed with fury.
Actually, Larry was not even sure if it had anything to do with Gabriella. However, he trusted his instincts. That was the reason he asked Joan to take Nancy away.
“Why should I know anything about it? I didn’t do it.” Gabriella denied Larry’s accusation.
Jory cast a glance in the woman’s direction, thinking that things might not be as simple as he thought they would be. Given how Caspian felt toward Nancy, it was very unlikely that he would cheat on her. The only possibility would be that he was framed by someone else.
“Good. We’re going to find out if it has anything to do with you,” Larry snickered.
What is he up to now? Gabriella could not help but wonder as she looked at the man before her.
He has nothing against me. Only the woman and I know about this.
