    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2136


    Suddenly, a knock on the door came before someone called out from outside, “Excuse me, is Joan


    Watts here?”


    Joan furrowed her brows at the unfamiliar voice before making her way to the door.


    “You are?” She peered suspiciously at the well-dressed woman in front of her.


    “Hi, my name is Jessica Zimmer. I’m a close friend of Larry’s.”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Is it really that simple? Joan scrutinized the woman as doubt crept into her heart. If she’s really just a


    friend of his, why would shee all the way here?


    Something doesn’t seem right. There must be something going on between this woman and Larry.


    “How may I help you?” Joan tilted her head curiously at the woman, a trace of wariness gleaming in her


    eyes.


    A cautious woman, I see. Jessica sneered. Too bad for her because one way or another, I’m going to


    make Larry mine! So what if she’s his wife? I always get what I want.


    Jessica forced her tone to stay polite as she asked, “Well, I actually want to talk to you about


    something. Is that alright?”


    There was basically nothing to talk about between two women who didn’t know each other unless it


    was about a man. Besides this, Joan couldn’t think of anything else.


    “Sorry, but I’m quite busy now. I don’t have time for a chat,” she rejected bluntly.


    She didn’t want to waste time on insignificant people, nor did she want to hear unpleasant news


    regarding Larry.


    “Really? Aren’t you the least bit concerned about your husband’s matters? I heard Norton Corporation


    has been facing a huge crisis recently. If it’s not resolved, thepany will shut down soon.” Jessica


    casually picked her nails, feigning disdain.


    She was actually a little bit nervous on the inside. After all, this was the first time she had gone as far


    as approaching a man’s family.


    “Fine. Give me a moment while I get changed.” With that, Joan went over to Delh.


    Leaning down, she whispered to Delh, “Ms. Young, I’m going out for a while. I have some matters to


    handle.”


    Delh looked at Joan, then at Jessica who was just a distance away. For some reason, the woman felt


    slightly unsettled.


    “What’s wrong? Is she causing you trouble? Is it because of Larry? Joan, no matter what happens, you


    will always have our support. You just need to follow your heart,” Delh replied firmly while patting


    Joan’s shoulder.


    At present, everything was uncertain. Hence, before she verified the rtionship between Larry and


    Jessica, she would refrain from acting rashly. However, she had a feeling that this woman wouldn’t give


    up on Larry without a fight.


    “Alright, I know. I’m leaving now. Dustin, help Ms. Young trim the nts.” Joan passed the tool in her


    hand to the man standing nearby.


    The restaurant was rtively quiet. Perhaps due to the rainy day, there were very few patrons. Even


    the music lost its former elegance and turned somber instead.


    “Ms. Zimmer, did my husband upset you in any way?” Joan went straight to the point.


    Though, I have a feeling that she’s the one who’s been clinging to him and not the other way around.


    Joan clenched her fists under the table in an attempt to remain calm.


    How can this woman be so calm? Shouldn’t she be afraid? Jessica sipped on her coffee to hide her


    surprise. It seems like she has quite a strong mentality. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. This is the


    woman Larry fell for after all.


    “Well, you see. My father is Norton Corporation’s biggest manufacturer. He’s been working with Mr.


    Norton for many years. A while ago, my father terminated their contract for some reason. No one


    knows where he is now, and Mr. Norton seems to be very desperate to continue coborating with my


    father.” Jessica paused abruptly after that sentence.


    Joan raised an eyebrow. And? What’s she trying to say? Is she trying to imply that Norton Corporation


    won’t be able to continue operating without her family?


    How absurd. There are so many manufacturingpanies in the world. I doubt her father’s


    manufacturingpany is the best. As far as I know, Larry has only been keeping in touch with the


    Zimmer family as a precaution, when in fact, he’s been searching for a bigger business partner at the


    same time.
