Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2053
Ha! This fool doesn’t even know he’s being used.
“I mean, you were fooled by this woman who goes by the name of Nancy Barrymore!” Gabriella enunciated each and every word carefully.
Rune came to a stop in front of Nancy before studying her in puzzlement.
“You don’t know who she is, right? Her name is Nancy Barrymore, and she’s Joan Watts and Larry Norton’s best friend. She’s also married to Jory Synder. Do you get it now?” explained Gabriella.
Realization finally dawned on Rune.
“You’ve been using me all the time?” Rune pointed at her furiously.
“No!” refuted Nancy loudly.
She treated Rune as a friend, but there was no way she could sit back and do nothing when Gabriella harmed her friend.
“Nancy, I’ve always respected you. Why did you lie to me? Is it funny to use someone blatantly?” Rune closed in on her. An icy glint flashed across his gaze as though he were about to kill her.
Rune hated people who had betrayed or lied to him.
“Rune, listen. I really wanted to be friends with you. I’ve never thought of using you. But Joan is my best friend. I can’t allow her to be framed by others…”
“Shut the f*ck up!” Hearing the man’s roar, Nancy trembled involuntarily.
Is he going to hurt me?
“Rune, is this your so-called friend? You definitely need glasses. I can’t believe you allowed her to come to your store,” Gabriella declared, adding fuel to fire.
“Gabriella, stop talking nonsense! Rune and I are friends. I’m not that despicable!” Nancy argued.
How innocent. She looks quite unyielding. I can’t believe she’s this silly. Gabriella snorted with disdain.
She won’t get to leave this place today. Gabriella felt lucky for she was smart enough to send her men to keep watch on Rune. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know that Nancy was a friend of Rune.
“How are you going to handle this?” she demanded.
Let’s see how Rune will deal with Nancy.
“Get out. I don’t want to see you again.” With that, Rune turned and trudged away.
What? Is he crazy? How could he let her leave just like that? She knows my secret!
“No, you can’t leave!” she hollered out of a sudden.
“Why not? Gabriella, you have no right to force me to stay. I’m only a customer,” Nancy retaliated.
So what? The customer is always right?
Gabriella wasn’t having any of it.
Meanwhile, gloom had veiled Rune’s face as he slumped dejectedly.
“Enough, Gabriella. She hasn’t said anything. Besides, she doesn’t even have proof. Let her leave,” he muttered.
Yet, Gabriella refused to let Nancy leave just like that. As Nancy was Joan’s friend, Gabriella viewed her as an enemy, too.
“Sure, no problem. But first, I’ll have to search you to see if you hid anything secretly.” There was a hint of shrewdness in Gabriella’s eyes.
What the heck? She doesn’t have the right to search me!
Wait, this is suspicious.
Damn it, I have a recorder in my pocket. If the b*tch discovers it, my efforts will be in vain.
Luckily the recorder has been recording our entire exchange. They must’ve heard everything, right? A glint of hope appeared in Nancy’s gaze.
“No, I have to go to her. She’s in danger!” Jory rose to his feet anxiously.
“Hey, wait a minute!” Larry remained cautious.
Heading over right now would be too rash an act. They had to come up with a plan or risk wasting their previous efforts.
