Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1689
However, that day, Jory no longer dodged the issue with the same excuse. He stared at therge TV
screen, ignoring Gabrie, who was standing to one side.
Following his gaze, Gabrie’s attention was instantly captured by the words “Norton Corporation.” It
was a familiar name that she used to have deep connections with.
“Three branches of Norton Corporation were acquired by multinationalpanies, causing its stocks to
plummet?” How is it possible that Norton Corporation’s branches were acquired? Norton Corporation
enjoyed a good reputation locally, and even foreignpanies were trying to secure a coboration
with them. As Gabrie pondered, she did not realize she had just said everything out loud. Jory
nced over at her and could not help but sneer.
“Don’t be ignorant. Larry’s not a god, so why can’t someone else rule hispany?”
Gabrie took a few steps forward and asked with a trace of doubt on her face, “Is this rted to you?”
Jory looked at her with his eyes full of arrogance. “Is it rted to me? What do you think? Do you think
that I can acquire those three smallpanies?”
“Are you kidding me? Do you think that Norton Corporation’s branches are that easy to acquire? Even
if you have a lot of money, Larry won’t turn out this way just because of a small issue like poor
management.”
“Gabrie Ward, do you know why you were so stupid that you got kicked out of the house? Because
you can never learn how to think and analyze situations. You’ll never use your brain to think about the
problems,” said Jory lightly, purposely angering Gabrie.
As it happens, Gabrie was indeed angered by his words. He was mocking her with her past, yet she
did not have anything to use against him. “What are you trying to say? Huh, how am I supposed to
believe that you have the ability to acquire Norton Corporation? You’re just someone who only knows
how to make cynical remarks about others.”
She scanned her surroundings and deliberately smiled disdainfully, her eyes full of contempt. “Look at
this ce. Aren’t you embarrassed to call this your office? Never mind Larry, this doesn’t evenpare
to a manager’s office in my dad’spany.”
Jory pressed the switch on the remote control, and the screen then turned ck. He rose from the sofa
and stood face to face with Gabrie. “Dad? Which one? Landon Ward? Why do I seem to remember
that he’d announced to the public that he had severed ties with someone named Gabrie Ward?”
Jory was not someone who had a mature appearance. If he changed his outfit, he would look like a
bright young man. However, the person in front of Gabrie smoked and drank. Although his smile
should have looked brilliant, it looked sinister to Gabrie instead. Furthermore, his blunt personality
made her feel disgusted.
“You…” Gabrie was so angered by him that she had forgotten what she wanted to say.
“Me?” Jory asked, pointing to himself. “Speaking of which, you keeping here every few days. Don’t
tell me you want to get some benefit from me?”
Gabrie instantly froze, for he had seen through her intentions. Although a part of her purpose in
going to Jory’s office was to ask about Joan, the bigger part of it was to get money.
Whenever Jory took one step forward, Gabrie took a step back. However, she did not notice that
there was a chessboard on the ground behind her. Consequently, when her heel stepped on it,
Gabrie lost her bnce and began to fall.
She did not expect that Jory would grab her and even ce his hand on her waist. When he gently
pulled her in, Gabrie fell into his arms.
Her curvy body pressed against his, and the touch of his skin on her wrist made her body heat up.
Jory’s looks are not that different from Larry’s. That was the only thought that appeared in Gabrie’s
mind. However, their auras were very different. Compared to Larry, Jory had an additional air of
mystery and arrogance.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
