Chapter 2962ls that really all? As Della stared at Larry's disappearing back, her expression was one of intense worry.
When Larry arrived home, Joan was already asleep on the sofa. He slowly walked over and reached
out to carry her to the bedroom, but she suddenly woke up at that precise moment.
"You're back?" Joan immediately greeted him while rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah. Why didn't you go into the bedroom to sleep?" Larry inquired gently as he stroked her hair.
"I have trouble sleeping by myself in the bedroom.” Joan hugged the man in front of her tightly, refusing
to let go no matter what.
For some inexplicable reason, a thrill shot through Larry at the sight of her reliance on him. Now that
our lives have finally settled down, we no longer have to live in fear like before. At that thought, Larry's
hands around her tightened a fraction.
Indeed, everyone thought that life would be peaceful in the future. But unbeknownst to them, incident
after incident would befall them in the coming days.
"Drop the act! I've already investigated everything, and it was you who orchestrated Joan's kidnapping
back then!” Sitting in a corner in a café, Jake stared at the woman across from him coldly.
So what? Didn't they let me go in the end because they didn't have sufficient evidence? Abelyn smirked
as she took a sip of her coffee. I want her to die a ghastly death!
I simply want her to disappear from the face of the earth!
Only then will my anger be quenched!"You're the president of a company, so do keep your identity in mind. I think you know full well what's
appropriate and inappropriate, so I don’t need to remind you to watch your words, yes? And as long as
you can furnish me with the evidence, I'll admit that it was me,’
Abelyn drawled with feigned seriousness. Evidence? The evidence is those few men who took the
negotiation abroad! Alas, Larry actually allowed them to escape! But then again, if those men hadn't
fled, perhaps
Joan wouldn't be alive now.
“Abelyn, don't think I'm unaware that you're working with Della Duff. So, why attempt to keep it a secret
time and again?” Jake blurted out of the blue.
noveldramaHuh? That's strange. How did he know about that? Astonished, Abelyn gaped at Jake across from her.
“You should know that what is done by night appears by day. I already know everything you've done, so
why bother putting on a hypocritical act in front of me?"
As Jake gazed at the people coming and going outside the window, a flash of delight flickered across
his eyes. it'll be great if i'm able to obtain evidence!
"My goal in asking you out this time is simply to advise you not to waste time anymore. You're not their
match. Abelyn, you have your own career to contend with, so why focus your energy and attention on
such a trivial matter?" He sounded extremely sincere and solemn.
However, it was water off a duck's back to Abelyn.
That's my business, okay? She lifted her head and glowered at the man across from her with a hint of
chagrin in her eyes. Damn it! Why is he so talkative today?"Is there anything else? If not, please excuse me.” As she said that, she snagged her handbag from the
side and whirled around to leave.
"Wait!" Jake abruptly called her back. "Don't hurt her anymore henceforth; he warned sternly.
Hmph! Why should I listen to you? Turning back to him, Abelyn stared at him stonily as aggravation
surged within her. No matter what, I must have my revenge! Back then, I willingly got taken because of
her, but in the blink of an eye, she then betrayed me! What a travesty!
Saying nary a word, she then strode out on her skyscraper heels that clicked against the ground.
Without a backward glance, she slipped into the car while emanating a cold aura.
No one can stop me!
In the café, Jake remained sitting in the corner. While stirring his coffee, he watched the car that drove
away. Abelyn, Abelyn... when did you become so foolish?
