Chapter 1891 Gabriella Is Here
“It’s okay. Nancy is fine, and that is the best silver lining there is,” said Larry while tapping Caspian’s shoulder lightly.
Larry checked his ringing phone and picked it up immediately.
“So, uh, Dustin asked to meet up with me,” informed Joan softly.
Larry’s eyes dimmed upon hearing that.
Dustin, that a**hole. He’s just like a poltergeist that won’t go away! Why did he have to come back when he already left the country?
Larry clenched his fists tightly before he asked grimly, “And?”
Joan knew the answer to her unspoken question when she heard Larry’s tone.
“And nothing. I’m not going to meet him,” Joan replied firmly.
A satisfied grin suddenly crept up on Larry’s lips.
Not bad. This woman learned her lesson.
He then cleared his throat a little.
“Actually, it’s fine if you want to meet up with him,” said the man.
This way, she won’t think that I’m petty and controlling.
Joan was dumbstruck by his .
“Okay,” said the woman before she hung up the call.
Beep! Beep! The busy tone was all that could be heard from the mobile phone, and Larry was a little exasperated.
Bang! Someone suddenly flung the door open rudely.
“Sorry, Mr. Norton. We couldn’t stop him,” informed the receptionist guiltily with her head down.
Larry waved at the receptionist to dismiss her.
“Lars, the employees of your company are getting more and more insolent. They won’t even let me in,” complained Gabriella in a coquettish voice that simply disgusted Larry.
Larry merely sneered.
“That’s because I told them to do so,” said the man mercilessly.
Gabriella was slightly stunned, but she was quick to regain her composure.
“How have you been, Lars? I haven’t seen you in a while,” said Gabriella gently.
However, Larry continued reading his document, not even bothered to look at Gabriella. She was a little hurt to see how distant the man standing before her was.
“I heard that Joan is back?” Gabriella changed the topic all of a sudden.
Larry’s writing hand paused instantly upon hearing that question. How did she know that Joan is back? Hasn’t she been overseas all this time? At that thought, Larry glared suspiciously at the woman in front of him.
“Well, that’s great news. Congratulations,” said Gabriella through gritted teeth.
Darn it, Joan Watts. You just won’t leave, will you? How are you still alive after falling into the river?
Gabriella’s gaze was filled with malice and hostility.
“That’s right. Joan is back, but we’re still searching for the culprit and the mastermind behind the incident,” Larry deliberately declared.
Gabriella jolted in alarm. So they have been investigating the incident from all those years ago!
Looks like getting rid of the driver was a wise decision.
A vicious smile played on Gabriella’s lips.
“How’ve you been lately, Gabriella?” asked Larry to test the water.
To Gabriella, however, that was a sign of Larry caring for her.
“Well, I went on a vacation,” replied Gabriella delightedly.
Larry thought that something was off about that sentence. He knew Gabriella well, and it was unlikely that she would stop her wicked schemes.
“What’s wrong, Lars? Did you miss me?” asked Gabriella. She suddenly wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.
Instantly, Larry flung her arms away and glared at her coldly.
Gabriella quickly tidied her clothes.
I knew it! This man just won’t bite the bait.
Naturally, fury rose in Gabriella’s heart, and the expression she wore on her face was ever so bitter.
Ring! Ring!
Gabriella’s heart skipped a beat when she checked her phone screen.
Why is he calling me all of a sudden? In an instance, Gabriella’s eyes dimmed.
“Hello?” answered Gabriella with great uncertainty.
“Hi. Uh, I heard that you’re back in the country. So am I. To be honest, I happen to be in a bit of a financial muck lately…” the man said slowly.
At the end of the day, this man only ever calls me to get money!
“We had a deal! I’ve already paid you, so don’t call me again!” howled Gabriella angrily.
