    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1547


    “Not yet,” mused Larry. “Whoever was behind the assault wanted to harm us, yet at the same time not


    wanting us to be dead. Clearly, they’re afraid of being dragged into this matter if we did die.”


    This would mean whoever was behind the attack would benefit from my injury. If I were to lose an arm


    and had to be admitted to the hospital for some time, the administrations of Norton Corporation would


    be all over the ce. If so, who would benefit from it?


    The wheels in Larry’s brain kept turning as he went through the names in his memory, eliminating those


    he believed to be innocent. In the end, he zeroed in on the most likely suspects.


    The Wards or the Johnsons!


    The more Larry thought about it, the more possible it seemed to be true. In fact, he was almost


    convinced that it was them behind the events that night.


    “They really don’t know what’s best for them, do they?” murmured Larry softly to himself.


    Ever since Carl Johnson and Gabrie Ward plotted against him and Joan, Norton Corporation had


    suppressed the Wards and the Johnsons, causing both families to struggle as they tried to stay afloat.


    Nheless, it had never crossed Larry’s mind to kill or harm anyone. He just intended for them to


    suffer for a while so that they would repent.


    However, perhaps the two families did not agree.


    If I were hurt and Norton Corporation be thrown into chaos, they would have the opportunity to take a


    breather and start afresh. Perhaps that was why they had nned the assault.


    Although that was a very likely theory, it was still a lot of guesswork. Without solid proof, Larry would


    never act hastily.


    “Caspian, I’m going to need your help again. Help me investigate the recent movements of the Wards


    and the Johnsons. Moreover, I also suspect that Gabrie and Carl were behind this,” instructed Larry.


    He paused for a second before continuing, “But this might not be an easy task. Since they had hired


    assassins, their identities would most likely be concealed. What happened today was intended to be a


    secret mission. As for how you are to carry out the investigation, I’ll leave that to you.”


    “No worries Boss, I’ll take care of it,” dered Caspian as he patted his chest in confidence.


    “Good. Give out the orders to everyone. Don’t do everything on your own since you’re injured. Leave


    the hands-on investigation to the men,” advised Larry.


    “Yes, Boss!” replied Caspian respectfully. The two continued to chat for a little while more before


    retreating to their own rooms.


    Norton Corporation was a powerful corporation with many connections. Along with the fact that


    Caspian had been known for his efficiency, it was no surprise when Caspian showed up at Larry’s room


    first thing in the morning to present what he had uncovered.


    “Morning, Boss. We haven’t gotten any solid proof, but we did find a lot of clues. Two days ago, Carl


    Johnson and Gabrie Ward met up in a restaurant. They seemed to be discussing something rather

    mysteriously, but no one caught what they were talking about. After Gabrie went back, she had used


    the forces of the Ward family to find out about your whereabouts.”


    Caspian paused and flip a page of his notes before continuing, “We got this information from the


    Wards. Even Landon Ward had no idea what Gabrie was up to, so it’s safe to say the Wards have


    nothing to do withst night, and only Gabrie Ward is responsible,” remarked Caspian. “Other than


    that, we’ve discovered that Gabrie Ward had transferred a sum of two million to Carl Johnson, and


    Johnson had immediately transferred the money to another unknown ount,” announced Caspian


    before continuing, “All these events happened the day before the incident.”


    Caspian looked up at Larry and tucked away his note. “One more thing. Carl Johnson had been seen


    asking about the details on hiring assassins when he was drinking with a bunch of thugs in a bar.


    That’s all we have so far.”


    With that being said, Caspian fell silent as he waited for Larry to speak.


    “That’s enough for us to safely conclude that it was Carl Johnson and Gabrie Ward who were


    responsible for this. On one hand, they probably hate us for ruining their reputation and therefore


    wanted to seek revenge. On the other hand, they would have wanted for me to be injured so their


    families can benefit from my absence.” Larry ced his hands on his chin as he expressed his


    thoughts.


    “If I were injured, some weight would be lifted from their households. I might even let them off the hook.


    And they thought that everything was carefully nned out. Hah!” Larry scoffed. “They’ve truly


    underestimated the power of Norton Corporation.”


    Larry analyzed the clues given by Caspian. He was now certain that the assault was nned by none


    other than Carl and Gabrie.


    “So, what’s next, Boss?”
