Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2820
Some time passed before De finally pulled over. She got off, then stormed over to Jake’s car that
stopped right behind hers. She wasn’t sure as to when Jake began tailing her. However, one thing was
clear; Jake had never trusted her from the very beginning.
“Are you done with your childish stalking?” De barked whilst throwing her fist onto his car window.
Never. I’ll never stop. Jake mentally swore that he would never spare this woman. He would continue to
track her every move with eagle eyes until Joan was found.
“What’s wrong? Feeling guilty about your crimes?” Jake provoked whilst casually hooking a finger
under his chin.
What a joke! De’s face scrunched into a hideous frown upon hearing his remarks.
She admitted inwardly, Fine! I kidnapped Joan. And I was the one who wanted Joan dead once and for
all. So what if that’s all true? That b*tch will get what’sing to her soon. I have no reason to be
scared. Plus, it’s not like anyone knows or can prove that I orchestrated all of this.
She jutted her jaw in contempt towards Jake.
“I don’t know where Joan is, so I suggest you quit wasting your time on stalking me, Jake.” She then
straightened up to leave.
Is that so? Someone sounds sure of themselves… Mischief shed in Jake’s sinister eyes.
“Must be fun using your wealth to manipte other’s lives, huh?” Jake’s words shot like a whip. At that,
De whirled around and red at him. Her body stiffened as if it had been caught red-handed. Did he
find out about something?
Wait… Did he follow me to the abandoned gas station? Crap. She dashed to unlock Jake’s car before
shoving her head in.
“What the hell do you want, Jake?” she snarled anxiously.
“Oh, what can an insignificantpany’s president like me do? My abilities can’tpare to you, Ms.
Duff. All I want is to be with the woman I love,” he boldly provoked whilst staring her down.
What’s so good about Joan?
Hatred darkened De’s pupils as she gripped tightly onto Jake’s steering wheel.
This reaction was exactly what the man expected of her. He remained unflinching as he dered, “I’ll
pretend as if all of this never happened on the condition that you quit going after Joan.”
His words offered De not only a chance to confess to her crimes but also an opportunity to redeem
herself. Although, Jake didn’t care much for her response. He would devotedly find other methods to
save the woman he loved, regardless of whether De agreed to stop her attacks on Joan.
Seeing the determined look in the man’s eyes, De felt a hesitant chill run down her spine.
He’s definitely caught on. She balled her fists and bit down on her lips so hard that she could taste iron-
like blood seeping onto her tongue.
“Stop with your antics, De. You’re a good person and an excellent businesswoman; there are many
other ways you can add to your existing strengths. So you don’t have to waste any more time and effort
on meaningless things like forcing an unrequited love,” Jake advised in a low voice.

He believed De wasn’t a bad person — she was only doing such horrible things because she was
blinded by love. She had lost her sense of self. Her love for Larry was sincere. However, she hadn’t
quite understood the true meaning of love.
This was essentially the same as Jake’s feelings for Joan. The two desperately wanted to be with the
people they loved, but the methods they used were slightly different. De had evidently lost all sanity.
She convinced herself that Joan had to die; she refused to ept a world where Joan could fall into
Larry’s arms as she pleases, as well as a world where Larry only had eyes for Joan.
Perhaps the only person who had fully embraced the true meaning of love was Dustin.
He had given up on pursuing Joan’s love and chose to protect her from the sidelines instead.
“Speak for yourself. Aren’t you doing the same? Not only do you want to im her body, but you’re also
after her full devotion!” De snorted with disdain.
I mean… She’s not wrong. I am selfish for forcing Joan to be with me without considering her feelings.
However, that’s because I can’t wait any longer!
