Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1691


    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1691


    Since young, everyone had treated him like a royalty. He was always well-protected and taken care of.


    No one had dared toment on his behavior until then. He could hardly believe that such an eligible


    bachelor like him would be rejected! Besides, the other party was even willing to suffer a loss in


    reputation as well as huge financial losses just to escape from the marriage, causing Jory to feel utterly


    humiliated.


    Even though everyone had epted the fact that the marriage proposal failed, Jory refused to go


    along with it. In his opinion, it was impossible for any woman to refuse him. Very quickly, he guessed


    that there was probably someone else that thedy was interested in, otherwise, it didn’t make sense


    for her to reject him so resolutely.


    Just like what he thought, after Jory insisted that he wouldn’t take no for an answer, the other party had


    no choice but to tell him that thedy had already fallen for another man.


    After his suspicions were confirmed, Jory felt victorious and behaved smugly in front of his dad. Even


    though he felt appeased after knowing the real reason, his dad was obviously unhappy. Jabbing a


    finger at Jory’s face, his dad scolded, “Are you feeling very proud of yourself now? If you continue


    being a good-for-nothing who bums around, even if she didn’t have someone else in mind, there was


    still no way she would settle for you!”


    Jory was rendered speechless and could not find any words to defend himself. However, his dad was


    unstoppable as fury overcame him. “You’re nothing without me! All you know is how to fool around. I


    just don’t understand how you can even be so full of yourself!”


    Back then when he was eighteen, Jory never took responsibility for any of his poor behavior. After


    much thought, he still attributed the failure of his marriage proposal entirely to thedy.


    Whenever Jory recalled how his dad reprimanded him, his hatred towards thatdy would deepen even

    further. As such, for a few days after he was rejected, he took no action. However, thedy was unable


    to wait any further as she needed Jory’s cooperation in order to get together with her lover officially.


    Being an intelligent woman, she sent Jory an anonymous email, which managed to pique Jory’s


    interest. He had interacted with all sorts of women but had yete across such a petty one who even


    refused to reveal her identity to him.


    She continued writing him numerous emails, all to which he replied. Even though it wasn’t a lot, but


    Jory felt that he had gained some valuable information through their brief interactions.


    His most important takeaway was learning that he was actually just a joke to many. If he were not born


    into a rich family, he would literally be a nobody.


    However, it was difficult for him to understand what she meant by reciprocal true love because he had


    never experienced it before. Even though he had been in many rtionships, he had not truly loved


    any of those women. However, he epted the fact that the woman would not be able to see any


    value in him in his current state. He was aware that perhaps, the reason that she rejected his marriage


    proposal wasn’t because of another man, but rather, it was because she saw nothing in him that was


    worthy of her affections.


    In the end, Jory still conceded to her wishes and epted the situation. At the same time, he started


    working on himself and had aplete change in attitude. He had changed a lot since then, but one


    thing remained unchanged and that was his hatred towards that woman.


    He wanted her to know that rejecting him would be the worst decision as well as the greatest regret in


    her life. Apart from helping Dustin, he had another objective, which was to destroy the Barrymore


    Group.


    Although he was focused on dealing with Larry at the moment, he was fully confident that he would be


    able to take down the Barrymores as well. Even though Nancy had remained anonymous and did not


    divulge any of her personal information to him at that time, Jory had still managed to find out her


    identity.


    “Nancy Barrymore… Just wait and see. I’ll make you regret your decision,” Jory muttered as he leaned


    back in his seat and closed his eyes while tapping his fingers on the armrest rhythmically.


    “Mr. Norton, another one of our branches got acquired by the Alpire Group this morning,” a male


    employee reported as he entered Larry’s office in a fluster.
