Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1754Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1754
However, the only difference was that even though he was “wandering” around outside, Jory still
received money from his father every month, although he had never used it before. In comparison,
Gabriella had really been kicked out of her house and had nowhere else to go.
Jory was very touched when Nancy took his side and stood up for him, for she had not questioned him
alongside Gabriella. Instead, she was showing her unconditional trust in him by speaking up for him.
“So… after you’ve bothered Larry about every little thing, did you change targets?”
Jory only knew that Gabriella had been kicked out of the house by Landon because of an unspeakable
matter and had no interest in knowing what the problem actually was. Thus, he had not bothered about
her past before he asked her for help.
Yet, as soon as Nancy said those words, both Jory and Gabriella’s faces hardened. They had probably
wanted to ask why Nancy knew about that. At that moment, Gabriella was raging with fury. She had
originally only wanted to knock Nancy off her high horse because she seemed to know nothing. She
had not expected that brat to attack her.
As it happened, it was a mere casual remark from Nancy as she only heard a little about the rumors.
Nevertheless, she had never believed anything that was not based on fact.
Previously, there had been a few times when she asked Joan about it, but the latter always seemed to
avoid answering the question. As Nancy was an outsider, it was appropriate for her to continue probing
further. Never would she have thought that there would come a day where those rumors would come in
handy. Moreover, judging by Gabriella’s expression, it seemed to be true.At that moment, her focus was no longer about refuting Gabriella. If that rumor was true, exactly what
kind of person was its male lead, Larry?
However, Gabriella was also not one to mess with. She hailed from the Ward family after all. Even if
she was at a low point in her life and no one would help her because she had no money, at least she
still had her social relations. Hence, she would have heard some news about the Barrymore Group too.
Previously, when she was expelled from the Ward family, she happened to hear that the daughter of
Barrymore Group and a good friend of Norton Corporation’s president got married.
That person should’ve been Nancy, so she should already be married. So why’s she standing next to
Jory right now? If I didn’t come today, only the two of them would be in this room.
Bearing that thought in mind, a calm and unscrupulous smile spread across Gabriella’s face. “There
are some benefits to being wicked after all. At least, no matter what I’ve done before, I’ve already
gotten my punishment, so I don’t feel as guilty. Unlike some people who pretend to be polite and
noveldramaspotless on the surface but are actually unfaithful and have poor morals!”
Never would Gabriella have thought that there would be a day where she would get so agitated that
she spoke that harshly. Even though she had not said a single curse word, she had made the two
hypocritical people in front of her become so angry that they were speechless.
“You!” Jory clenched his fist so tightly that his veins were popping out. His knuckles were white, and it
was as if a strong force was prompting him to raise his arm for a strike.
Nancy then grabbed him on the wrist. Although Gabriella was mocking her, she was so much calmer
than Jory was. However, Nancy’s palm on his skin was still cold to the touch, revealing that she was
actually very nervous and was angrier than he was.
The two most difficult things to practice in the world were patience and understanding. At that very
moment, Nancy was having an internal conflict in managing those two. Gabriella’s words were indeeddescribing whatever Nancy was doing then. Therefore, while Nancy wanted to rebut her, there was
nothing she could refute.
“Why aren’t you talking? Did I hit the nail on the head and make you feel uncomfortable?” asked
Gabriella, taking the opportunity to provoke her even further when Nancy kept silent.
