Chapter 2888


    Joan''s face was red and her eyes were closed.


    "Wake up, Joan!” De shouted.


    However, Joan did not move as her eyes remained closed.


    De was impatient as she grabbed a cup of water by the table and sshed it directly on Joan''s face.


    "Hey! Stop that, De!" Abelyn shouted angrily.


    “Urgh...’ Joan shook her head and thought to herself.


    What''s going on? Why is my head spinning? She tried to open her eyes to look at her surroundings.


    What is this ce? Where am I? She looked around in confusion.

    "You''re finally awake.


    What''s wrong? Don''t you remember what happened earlier? Perhaps you''d recognize her?" De


    pointed at Abelyn.


    Huh? Why''s Abelyn here? Wait! I remember now.


    Abelyn and I snuck out to get some fresh air and De kidnapped us.


    She finally recalled everything that had happened.


    "De, you only wanted me all this while, so let Abelyn go.


    She has nothing to do with our business so you shouldn''t have taken her with you!" Joan said firmly.


    ls she ordering me? De observed her and snorted disdainfully.


    How dare she give orders to me? "Stop it, Joan.


    I''m not leaving you alone.


    We''re sticking together no matter what!" Abelyn hurriedly responded.


    Wow, it seems like they share a close bond! De turned away in irritation.


    What''s so great about her? Why would Larry risk everything on the line for someone like her?


    Moreover, Abelyn was also willing to risk her life for Joan.


    De closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself.


    / don''t get it.


    !m so much better than her.


    Yet, countless people chose her over me! "De,e at me and leave her out of this!" Abelyn roared.


    I wish you could see what a hypocrite you'' are! De then took her bag and left the room.


    Pfft! There''s no true love in the world.


    it was merely an act! Her heels made a clicking sound as she walked further and further away from the


    room.


    "Ms.


    Duff, should we clean the room?" "There''s no need for that.


    By the way, no one should enter the room without my permission!" On the other hand, Jake was


    already seated in De''s office.


    "Why, hello there, Mr.


    Wilson.


    What brings you here today?" De asked as she walked to her desk.


    "Tell me.


    Where have you hidden Joan?" Jake asked.


    Hmph! ! knew you must havee for Joan''s sake! I must say, she really is something.


    It hasn''t even been a day and so many people have started looking for her.


    What''s so special about a hideous girl like her who pretends to be a weakling.


    De''s heart was instantly filled with jealously.


    “What''re you talking about? I wouldn''t dare do such a thing.


    I thought she was taken away by Larry?" she replied deliberately to change the subject.


    What a liar! You should know better than anyone else what you''ve done! Jake eyed her as he took a


    sip of tea.


    “What''s wrong? Are you afraid to own up to your actions?" Jake questioned.


    De nced at him anxiously.


    She clearly knew that Jake was someone who''d do things without considering its consequences.


    In fact, he was more ruthless than Larry.


    "L can hand her over to you, but not now; she quickly answered as she tried to calm herself.


    Unfortunately, Jake was not someone who‘ follow orders.


    He stood up and approached her slowly and looked at her in the eye coldly.


    “Hand her over now, or you''ll regret it; he threatened.


    De knew what he was capable of, but she refused to be controlled by him.


    No! I will not yield under his control.


    I want to do things my way! I must break free from his control when I have the chance!
