Chapter 2949 Let Them Go
He was worried that Abelyn would send her men after him as soon as he uttered those two words. However, little did he know, Abelyn had already sent a unit after him.
“Larry, do you want us to subdue them?” Caspian asked Larry at the hotel entrance.
“There’s no need!” Larry answered tersely as he had full faith in Joan and her decision. Not to mention, he was adamant that those men wouldn’t dare to obfuscate the current situation anyway.
“Joan, are you okay?” Jessica rushed into the room and gave Joan a tight embrace.
“Tell Larry to spare those people,” Joan instructed as she pushed Jessica off.
What’s happening? Shouldn’t she be afraid? Shouldn’t she be terrified? Why would she care about the people who abducted her? Jessica was rather perplexed by Joan’s behavior. Don’t tell me she hit her head during the abduction.
“Joan, are you really okay? Did they hurt you? Don’t worry, Larry will punish them for what they did to you.” Jessica held tightly onto Joan’s arm.
What? Didn’t she hear what I said earlier?
“Don’t worry. I didn’t send my men after them,” Larry assured her as he entered the room. Upon hearing his statement, the vise that had been gripping Joan’s chest finally loosened a little.
“Are you okay?” Larry walked up to Joan and caressed her face.
Seeing as such, Caspian quickly dragged Jessica out of the room with him to give Larry and Joan some space.
“Did you know how flurried I was when I heard that you were abducted?” Larry embraced Joan. He was relieved to see that Joan was fine.
Touched by his words, Joan thought of officially entering a relationship with Larry in the spur of the moment. It’s time for me to face both him and myself truthfully.
“Joan!” Suddenly, Abelyn dashed into the room.
“Why are you here?” Larry deliberately queried as he was glaring at Abelyn. No one told her that Joan would be here. My plan was also not mentioned to her. And yet, she knew exactly where Joan was. There’s something fishy going on here!
She must be dying to know if Joan was dead or not.
“I… I came here to visit Joan. I’m worried about her,” Abelyn stuttered a bit as she said that.
Feeling the awkwardness in the air, Joan let go of Larry’s hand and walked toward Abelyn before uttering, “Abelyn is just worried about me. Why are you acting so grim?”
Worried? For what? Worried that Joan wasn’t dead? Or was she worried that her men was caught? Larry gave Abelyn a minatory look.
Gazing at Abelyn’s eyes, Joan was disappointed as she recalled the men who abducted mentioned something about a woman called Ms. Chipman. That being said, she couldn’t fathom why Abelyn would want to hurt her.
After chatting for a while, they all went outside.
“What did you say? Joan was abducted?” Jake yelled out incredulously in his office. He was surprised to hear such big news right after he came back.
“Did you find the person who did it?” Jake immediately queried. Since he had a crush on Joan before, he naturally didn’t want to see her get hurt.
“No, I heard they ran away,” answered Ted, with his head lowered.
Huh? Larry let them run away just like that? The Larry I know wouldn’t have done this! Maybe Della’s the one behind this?
Without a second thought, Jake took his jacket and head out of the office.
At the restaurant, Jake was sitting on the sofa in the corner while sipping on his coffee. He seemed rather relaxed and nonchalant. After a while, Della came to his seat.
“Did you ask for me?” Della sat down with a contemptuous look on her face.
