Chapter 1845 A Bad Feeling About It
“Sir, why don’t you focus on driving? I’m well aware of the things you have in mind,” Joan muttered her reply.
“I consider myself an ambitious man as well. In fact, I—”
“Hey, Sir! Hit the brakes!” Joan yelled because a truck was about to bump into them.
Unfortunately, the driver failed to respond in time because he had his focus on something else.
Bam! As a result, the car was sent flying.
The driver ended up on the pole that was a few feet away, whereas Joan ended up in the river that was next to the bridge. Since it was a river with strong currents and a seemingly bottomless pit, the onlookers deemed it impossible for Joan to be alive.
After the onlookers surrounded the scene, the police officers and the paramedics showed up at the scene.
Meanwhile, the driver of the truck had disappeared into thin air.
In the meantime, Larry was in the meeting room, sharing his tentative plan for the upcoming quarter with the shareholders.
One of the shareholders said, “Mr. Norton, I think it’s better to put the plan on hold for the time being.”
Someone added, “He’s right because we can’t pinpoint the strength of your proposal. Although we’re not against the idea of implementing changes, it’s different from the way things have worked over the years. I’m afraid only a mere few can adapt accordingly if we implement such a drastic change over such a short time.”
Larry glanced at the shareholders in the meeting room. He knew they wouldn’t take his proposal into consideration, let alone executing it.
“Mr. Norton, don’t you think it’s too much of a risk?”
Larry sneered because of the cunning bunch’s response. He announced, “Since everyone has a different opinion, let’s keep the rest of the discussion for another day.”
He needed the document Joan had with her to prove himself. Unfortunately, he had left both copies at home.
“Dustin? Why are you here?” Nancy asked the moment she saw him.
Although she was on good terms with him, ever since he spent a night with Larry and started scamming him, she was constantly on her guard against this suspicious man. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had a different sexual orientation in spite of the fact he used to be head over heels with Joan.
“What? Am I not allowed to be here?” Dustin glanced at her in return.
He knew he wasn’t supposed to offend the wealthy heiress in front of him. Nonetheless, after the last two trips they had made together, their relationship had drastically improved. Thus, he stopped holding back his words.
“Why don’t you head over and pay Larry a visit?” Nancy brought up the suggestion in an attempt to chase him away.
Unfortunately, it would take something more than that to send him away.
“Why would I want to pay him a visit when I’m here for Mr. Synder?” Dustin wrapped his arm around Jory’s neck and announced while staring at Nancy in the eyes.
“Dustin, stop being such a shameless man! I’ll get Joan over to teach you a lesson!” Immediately after she warned him, she reached for her phone and made a call.
She frowned because no one picked up the call in spite of the numerous attempts made.
Usually, Joan would pick up the phone within a few seconds after the call was made. However, it had already been a few minutes since Nancy’s first attempt to reach her, yet no one picked up the call.
Nancy had a bad feeling about it, but she couldn’t be sure if it was just her gut feeling messing with her brain.
After a short while, she asked, “Hey, why isn’t Joan picking up the phone? She might be in the middle of something, but it has been such a long time since my last attempt to reach her. Why hasn’t she returned the call?”
Previously, Joan would revert back to Nancy’s call as soon as possible should she notice she had missed a few incoming calls.
Dustin reprimanded, “Nancy, what sort of nonsense are you talking about? You need to stop overthinking things.”
She shook her head in an attempt to get a grip on herself because nothing could possibly go wrong since she had Larry with her.
Mmm! I must be overthinking things again!
When Jory opened the television, the news anchor announced, “A serious accident has occurred at the construction site of the bridge. The driver of the cab was rushed to the hospital, yet the passenger was nowhere to be found. On the other hand, the driver behind the accident had fled the scene. According to the police, the passenger was a female, her current identity unknown.”
