Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2867
I’ll make sure you won’t live your happily ever after. Not now, not ever!
Bang! There was a bang on the door again. This time, it was Joan who barged in, gasping for breath.
“Joan?” Jake stared at the woman in front of him with a look of surprise.
Larry was perplexed by Joan’s sudden arrival too, but he firmly believed that Joan would surely not
betray him.
In a panic, Joan shot a nce at Larry, who stood a short distance away, before turning to face the
man in front of her. She grinned.
“Why did youe here, Jake? I’ve only gone out for some fresh air. Just look at you. What’s there to
fret about?” Joan interrogated Jake as she suppressed her emotions.
No! You’re lying! Jake gazed into her eyes as she blinked at him. He thought he could see through her,
find out what she was hiding.
Larry was pleased to see Joan making her presence in his office. A satisfied smirk spread across his

face. She was still Joan, the woman he knew and loved. She was still the kind, sweet Joan who tended
to put others before herself.
“Joan, tell me. Is it him? Is he the one who’s been mistreating you? Is he the one who kidnapped you?”
Jake pointed at Larry while demanding an answer from Joan.
Larry knew exactly how Jake would react, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he got back to his
desk and continued his work as though nothing happened.
Joan looked at the man who imed to be her husband. For some reason, she felt upset. Why isn’t he
standing his ground anymore? Perhaps, if he had not let her go that time, she would not have returned
to Jake again.
No! Joan, get yourself together! In your time of weakness, it’s Jake who stuck by you. It was Jake who
took care of you! Joan closed her eyes and pinched her arm forcefully in an attempt to calm herself
down.
“Jake, let’s leave this ce. I don’t know him. And no, he didn’t hurt me,” she said, her voice quivering.
How’s that possible? My subordinates told me that this is all part of Larry’s n! So why is Joan lying to
my face? Has she recalled anything? If so, then why does she im that she doesn’t recognize Larry?
Jake suddenly felt a headacheing and promptly stormed out of the office.
At that moment, Joan turned around to face Larry. A swell of emotions surged in her heart, which was
odd. She had only met the man twice; yet, there seemed to be some sort of familiarity between them.
“Joan! Let’s get out of here!” Jake barked at her.
“Coming!”
Larry watched Joan go, and when her shadow vanished from sight, he put down the file he had been
holding and sank into deep thought.
De watched the whole thing unfold from the side.
She refused to believe that Larry would not take any action once he met Joan again. She also refused
to believe that Joan, after seeing Larry again, would have zero feelings for the man she once loved.
If her instinct was correct, this was all a trap.
De rose and approached Larry, suspicion shing across her eyes.
“You two have met before, haven’t you?” she framed her question cautiously.
Her words stunned him, albeit briefly. Larry was quick to resume aposed expression as he
continued to sign some paperwork.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” came Larry’s reply, void of emotion.
Hmm! He’s ying dumb again! Who does he think he is? Am I a three-year-old kid? He’s pretending
that the conversation just now didn’t happen! He’s totally underestimating me!
“Ms. Duff, you can leave now. Larry’s busy. He’s got lots ofpany matters to deal with,” said
Caspian.
Damn it, Caspian! You’re just the same. Burning bridges now, are we? I was the one who called you
here, and now you want me to leave?
De red at him, apparently not pleased with the feedback she got. Caspian cared little for her sharp
gaze and her negative emotions. He just wanted to get her out of here as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned ominous. De shot a wary nce at Larry before stomping away on
her high heels.
