Chapter 2889


    "Please mind your tone, Jake.


    Let me remind you that you''re asking me for a favor now- De lifted her chin arrogantly.


    I''ve had enough of being your puppet! Oh my, how dare you threaten me? I guess you''ve grown some


    courage to go against me now.


    Jake tried to suppress his anger as he walked back to the sofa and sat down.


    Yes, / have to stay calm to avoidplicating matters! "lL want to see her now,’ Jake''s tone softened.


    He merely wanted to make sure she was safe.


    My feelings for her had never changed although she betrayed me in the past.


    Besides, I know I''ve said many harsh words to Joan.


    But, I did so hoping that I could convince her to say with me! Unfortunately, I''ve overestimated my ce


    in her heart.


    "Why don''t you just let it be since she doesn''t have any feelings for you?" De asked.


    If he had no feelings for her, { could do all the terrible things to her without holding back.


    However, I could tell that he still has feelings for her.


    So I can''t do as I please.


    He''s known as someone who pays an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.


    if he knew I harmed Joan, he''d never let me off easily.


    “When are you handing her over to me?" he asked.


    “One weekter” De turned and walked to the window.


    Jake then left the office without a word.


    Larry''s men instantly reported back to him as soon as they spotted Jake entering De''spany.


    “They''re always up to no good whenever they''re together, Caspian muttered.


    “Or maybe, Jake demanded De to hand Joan over to him?" Larry lowered his head to think.


    Perhaps De was the culprit behind Joan''s disappearance? "Continue to keep an eye on De.


    And remember, report back to me immediately as soon as somethinges up,’ With that, Larry hung


    up.


    it seemed like De was the number one suspect behind Joan''s kidnap! Jessica knew what he was


    thinking of judging from his facial expression.


    Jessica and the others gathered around Larry''s phone as they waited for any news toe.


    Yet, Larry''s phone did not ring for a long time.


    On the flip side, Joan and Abelyn leaned against each other as their bodies trembled.


    Abelyn knew that Joan must be afraid.


    "It''s okay, Joan.


    I believe Larry would arrive in no time and get us out of here," Abelynforted.


    Yeah, you''re right! My entire mind''s filled with images of his face and I''ve been waiting for him toe


    all this while.


    But he hasn''t shown up yet.


    “Abelyn, could you tell me about my past? As in everything before I lost my memory,’ Joan tried to


    change the subject, hoping it would lessen the fear in her heart.


    Your past? Abelyn was taken back by her words and hesitated.


    We weren''t friends for a long time.


    Hence, I have very little information about what happened between you and Larry.


    The only thing I knew about both of you were the moments you''ve shared with me.

    “Alright, ‘ll tell you whatever I know.


    Abelyn began to share the stories of Joan''s past vividly.


    Abelyn purposely shared the happy moments to ease Joan''s fear and she could not help butugh.


    "Really? Was I really that dumb?" Joan asked in disbelief.


    She could not recall the silly side of her in the past.


    Joan''s silly side lies in the fact that she was always very considerate of others.


    Consequently, evil people like Gabrie and De took advantage of that as they bullied and framed


    her.


    The root of all these incidents was merely ill fate.
