Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1981
“Larry has a fever. Do you want to come home and care for him?”
Fever? He never learns how to take good care of himself! For a fleeting moment, Joan’s eyes were filled with sadness.
However, she was in a dilemma when she saw the woman in front of her.
“We’ll talk again when I’m back. For now, I have something to attend to. Bye.” Joan ended the call.
Meanwhile, Gabriella’s phone never rang. Perhaps, no one in this world really cares for me.
How ironic! My family disowned me because of the incident with Larry. After leaving the family for so long, I’ve not made any significant success… Now that I am pregnant, yet the child isn’t even Larry’s!
“Do you have anything else? I need to go home.” Joan sipped her coffee.
She was puzzled as to why Gabriella was holding her up for such a long time. No matter what her agenda was, Joan was certain it wasn’t good.
“Joan, after so long, don’t you ever feel the least bit remorseful?” Gabriella glared at her.
Joan was dumbfounded.
What did I do wrong? Why should I be remorseful? If there was anyone who should be apologizing, that’s you!
“I’m not the one in the wrong. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Just as she spoke, Joan stood up to leave.
“Joan, if you dare leave without my permission, you will regret it,” Gabriella asserted coldly before taking a sip of coffee.
Despite pausing for a few seconds, Joan continued her way out.
The moment she arrived at the door, danger approached.
It appeared that Gabriella was stalling for time until her henchmen arrived. They were occupied earlier and could only come when night fell.
“Wow, look who we have here. She’s really gorgeous!” A man suddenly appeared in front of Joan.
“Excuse me, I don’t know you.” Joan tried to distance herself from the men.
“Come on, it’s not safe at night for a lady like you. Why don’t I send you home? Come with me. Don’t be afraid.” Just as he spoke, the man grabbed her waist as he breathed in her bodily scent.
Meanwhile, Gabriella watched intently what was unfolding before her.
Joan, oh Joan, today will be the end of you.
“What are you doing?” Joan glared at the group of men.
They surrounded her in a tight circle, leaving no room for her to escape.
“Us? We just like to have some fun with you.” One of them lifted her chin and let out a devilish grin.
This can’t be a coincidence, can it? Is this what Gabriella was planning? Turning around, Joan looked in Gabriella’s direction and saw her sipping coffee as if nothing had happened.
“Who are you? Did Gabriella send you?” Joan demanded.
The man in front was stunned but collected himself quickly. As he approached Joan slowly, a cold glint flashed in his eye.
“We’re just inviting you to have some fun and yet you’re just spewing nonsense about some Gabriella or whoever that is. We don’t know her,” the man hissed with disdain.
However, the momentary change in his expression had confirmed her suspicions that Gabriella was the mastermind.
She is really ruthless. Even at this time, she isn’t willing to let me go. Gabriella, when will you even stop?
“There isn’t any grudge between us and I don’t want any trouble. I may be a woman but for those who do harm me, I will have my revenge. If you lay a finger on me today, Larry’s men will be knocking on your door tomorrow. Of course, you can choose not to believe me.” Joan pretended to be calm.
Is this the last time I use Larry’s name to protect myself?
Suddenly, the group of men exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.
Given how famous Larry was, everyone was aware of how ruthless he could be. However, Gabriella’s instructions were as good as those of their boss.
