Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1995
Just as expected, she really is cautious. Jory sneered.
“I’m sure you know that we have partnered with many domestic companies before. However, this project’s focus is on expanding into the international market. I’m aware that you own an excellent company overseas. Although its scale isn’t big as of now, I believe it has the potential to be developed…” Jory tried to hide his agenda.
If not for Nancy’s request, who in the world would want to work with her? She is both cruel and ruthless. Sooner or later, she will break the rules of the business world. Hence, it is better not to even touch her with a ten-foot pole.
“I see. It seems you have come to the right person. I am connected to many famous companies overseas.”
Jory snorted in response.
She really thinks that I need her help.
“Alright, Ms. Ward. If you are agreeable, we can then discuss the details…”
What’s there to discuss? Isn’t this all there is to it? Gabriella gave him a puzzled look.
“This contract is just the first step. After that…” Jory then held back his words.
His objective was to interact more with Gabriella via the different projects so that he could get closer to the truth.
However, he had significantly underestimated her intelligence.
“Larry, something strange has happened recently. Jory and Gabriella are working on a project together,” Caspian reported warily.
Larry suddenly put his pen down and looked out the window.
I suppose it’s Nancy’s idea?
“Alright, you may go now.” Larry waved his hand.
He appreciated what Nancy had done for his and Joan’s sake.
Ring! Ring!
Is it him? How is it possible? Suddenly, Larry’s eyes darkened.
“Mr. Norton, I have something to tell you.”
“Alright, I’ll be right over. You don’t have to come.” Larry ended the call and walked out of the office.
Soon, his car stopped at the entrance of the clinic.
“What happened?” Larry looked at the man anxiously.
Lonnie was hesitating and feeling helpless at the same time. He recognized that Larry was a good man—upright and loyal, while Joan was kind and generous. Both of them were a match made in heaven. He just didn’t understand how Larry could be involved with someone as cruel as Gabriella.
“Mr. Norton, I heard about what happened to you. I just want to reveal some things to you.” Lonnie looked at him sternly.
Could it be that he is still hiding something from me? Larry looked at Lonnie inquisitively.
“Gabriella used to be the person Mr. Newman loved the most. She used him to hurt Joan but failed in the end. After that, she requested me to help her but I declined. Logically speaking, Mr. Newman should have recovered after receiving treatment in the hospital for such a long time. But until now, there’s still no news of him. Therefore, there can only be one explanation. Gabriella must be somehow controlling him and his subordinates,” Lonnie explained.
Larry had heard about something of this sort but never expected it to be as Lonnie had described. Perhaps, he was simply too busy with work to have given it much thought.
“Therefore, I hope that you can reconsider before making a decision. Joan is a really good woman.” Lonnie patted him on the shoulder.
Larry was his benefactor after all. Hence, he didn’t want Larry to do anything the latter might regret. Although he had not been in a relationship before, he had seen the pain and helplessness Mr. Newman suffered. Hence, he understood the anguish of losing the woman one loved.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find out the truth. As for Gabriella, I am honestly not sure if the child she is carrying is really mine. After all, I was really drunk that night.” Larry’s gaze darkened.
What a fool! Since when does a drunk person still have the energy to make love? Lonnie walked up to Larry and gazed at him intently.
