Nancy placed her hands on his hips. “Investigate? Does it mean that you have a lead and that you
know who did it?”
Nancy was extremely sharp to decipher his words. Jory was naturally not going to lie. “I’m not sure yet.
I just called him but he didn’t answer.”
“Perhaps, you can get through now?” Nancy gave him an encouraging glance. “Why don’t you try
again?”
After waiting for another thirty-seven second, both of them gave up on calling him. Jory turned off his
phone. “When you arrived just now, I was about to head over to see him.”
“The reason I rushed over was because of this too…” Nancy sighed. “Joan and Larry must be
devastated to hear the news in the morning. After all, it has been a long time since something like that
happened.”
Staring at her anxious expression, Jory asked, “You do care a lot about them, don’t you?”
Nancy nodded without hesitation. “Of course, they are my best friends.”
noveldramaBefore Jory could respond, Nancy dragged him into her car. “Come, let’s go and find the culprit. We
need to question him on what his motives are. I don’t believe he has fled just because he isn’t
answering his phone.”
Jory had wanted to say something to defend Dustin. But, when he grabbed onto her hand, the words
that left his mouth were instead, “Let’s go in my car. Or perhaps, I’ll turn on my GPS and you can just
follow me in your car.”Nancy smiled helplessly. “Does it matter whose car? Come, let’s go.”
At Norton Corporation, Larry had learned his lesson from the last time. Instead of going through the
front door, he entered via the back door with Joan. Upon reaching his office, he realized that the main
entrance had been swarmed with reporters who were waiting for their appearance.
“Luckily, we managed to avoid them.” Joan patted her chest to calm herself down.
Larry remained expressionless as he was used to it by now. “What’s the use of avoiding them? What is
done is done. Unfortunately, we do not have a solution as of now.”
Joan held his hand in an attempt to give his cold hands some warmth. “There has to be a solution.
There definitely has to. We will face this together.”
Larry smiled back at her as he clasped the hand that held onto his. Both of them were like travelers of
the south pole desperately trying to survive the cold by giving each other warmth.
The moment he walked out of the elevator, Larry received a message from the largest shareholder of
Norton Corporation. Joan too, peeked over to read the contents of the message.
It stated: Shareholders’ meeting in ten minutes.
Despite how short the message was, Joan’s heart dropped when she saw it. Tightening her grip on
Larry’s hand, she choked, “Can it be t-that they…?”
Larry massaged her palm with his thumb as if he was trying to rub her worries away. He softly
reassured, “No, they won’t. I didn’t do anything wrong. Hence, they have no reason to strip me of my
power and position yet.”
Ever since the previous misunderstanding, Larry was no longer as brazen as he used to be. Instead,
he was now filled with a sense of calmness and humility that wasn’t there before. Hence, Joan couldsee a shadow of his former self from his words. To her, he seemed exceptionally confident and she
could recognize that the invincible Larry was back. Therefore, when he said they would be fine, she
definitely believed that to be the case.
The atmosphere at the shareholders’ meeting was tense. Everyone’s expression couldn’t be any more
solemn. All the attendees had taken their seats and were waiting for Larry’s arrival.
The meeting room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The only sound that could be heard
was Larry’s footsteps and the beating of their own hearts.
