Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2764
A Press Conference
Lucinda kept her head lowered, and her expression was conflicted. Ugh! What should I do? Should I
expose De Duff? She scratched her head as she continued mulling it over.
“It was De Duff, yes?” Suddenly, Joan spun around and took a sip of wine.
Huh? How did she know that? Rushing over to her, Lucinda merely nodded forcefully without saying
anything.
“Alright, I got it. I have a perfect solution…”
I can’t afford to cross De Duff, yet Larry Norton and Joan Watts aren’t people I can afford to offend
either! Thus, Lucinda knew that she must leave as soon as possible.

“What do you think about that?”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say, Joan Watts!” Lucinda agreed emphatically.
At her agreement, a satisfied smile tugged at Joan’s lips.
She knew that De detested her, and she was also aware of her motive in doing all that, but she didn’t
want to make things tooplicated or cause her rtionship with De to deteriorate further.
“Why don’t you want to expose Ms. Duff?” Lucinda asked in puzzlement while looking at the woman in
front of her seriously.
“That’s my business, so you don’t need to concern yourself about it.” While saying that, Joan left the
room.
At the door, the moment Dustin saw her, he blurted, “How are you nning to handle it, Joan?”
“Let her go,” Joan answered sely while waving a dismissive hand.
Huh? Let her go? Dustin shifted his gaze to the person in the room. What’s happening here? But since
she has said as much, I’ll just do as she said. Hence, he shook his head and left with her.
In the private room, Lucinda kept puffing away on the sofa, looking exceedingly forlorn. Jeez, I really
don’t know how I ended up in such a sorry state today!
Soon, a press conference was held as scheduled, and Lucinda rushed over to rify the “truth” of the
matter for Joan.
“Are you ready?” Joan promptly queried, patting her on the back.
“Yup, I’m ready, so don’t worry.” Lucinda nodded resolutely.
“Everyone, please quieten down. I, Lucinda Xenos, would like to set the record straight. About the bra
incident back then, I misunderstood Ms. Watts…” Lucinda narrated the “truth” graciously, but she didn’t
expose De.
The matter was then resolved in no time. Upon seeing the turn of events, the people De arranged to
pour fuel on the fire dispersed.
“Was that okay?” Lucinda turned and looked at Joan anxiously.
“Yes, thank you.” shing her a smile, Joan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In reality, she isn’t a bad
person. Rather, she was just blinded by greed…
“You can leave now. Remember not toe back to this city anytime soon,” Dustin reminded Lucinda
at the side.
After all, who knew what De would do to her?
“Alright, I got it. Thank you.” When Lucinda had said that, she then left.
With that, the embarrassing scandal drew to an end.
Joan thought she would then be able to spend the rest of her life with Larry peacefully, but little did she
know that De had already secretly hatched a ploy.
“What did you just say? Lucinda Xenos has taken off? And she even rified the matter?” Jumping up
from the sofa, De stared at her assistant in front her of incredulously, appearing a touch
apprehensive.
What a b*tch! Why did she suddenly turn on me?
De’s hands clenched into fists. Trembling all over, she darted a panicked look at her assistant and
demanded, “What did she say to the reporters?”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Duff, she didn’t expose you,” the assistant assured.
Phew! That’s a relief! De instantly breathed easier, and her knitted brows rxed. But in the next
moment, her eyes zed with fury. Damn it! That b*tch actually betrayed me for no apparent reason!
“Where is she now? Where has she fled to?”
“She seems to have gone abroad,” the assistant replied sheepishly, hanging her head.
Huh? Why does she have the money to go abroad? No, something’s not right. Someone must have
intervened in this matter! Could it be Joan Watts?
