Chapter 2966


    Yes, yes, it''s exactly because they''ve helped her a lot that she keeps bringing up Larry Norton and


    Joan Watts every day! Worse still, she always agrees whenever they ask something of her! Jory threw


    Nancy a look, not in the mood to entertain the woman in front of him anymore.


    "Okay, stop sulking.It''s just a few days, so there''s no need for you to be this mad.Larry is a


    businessman, and the same goes for you, so the two of you may even have the opportunity for


    coboration in the future."


    "Hah! I have no interest in coborating with him!"


    As Jory said that, he got up and stormed up the stairs.


    In truth, he was merely sick of it all.


    Life is between two people, so why should it involve others? When Joan was sick, we had to visit her;


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    when she got missing, we had to send people to look for her; when she was angry, we even had to


    cajole her surreptitiously...


    If I''d Known that this would''ve happened, ! would''ve forbidden Nancy from keeping in contact with


    them! Meanwhile, Joan was reading newspaper in the living room.


    "What are you doing?"


    Larry inquired softly as he walked in.


    "Reading newspaper for a bit.Why are you sote today?"


    Joan asked gently even as she stood up and headed toward him.


    "There''s quite a lot of work in the office recently.Oh yes, I''m going on a business trip tomorrow, so you


    must be careful at home alone"


    Larry urged with feigned calmness.


    Truth be told, he was reluctant to part with her though his greater worry was over her safety.


    Nheless, he had no choice but to leave since he had already promised Fred previously.


    "Huh? You''re leaving tomorrow itself?"


    Joan echoed in disappointment, lowering her head as her gaze dimmed.


    Unbidden, reluctance welled within her.


    "Don''t worry, for I''ll be back very soon."


    Larry hugged her tightly from behind and kissed her neck lightly.


    Okay, then.


    I understand his situation.


    Joan nodded without saying anything.


    "Joan, promise me that you''ll stay home as much as possible.If you really want to go out, have Nancy


    keep youpany” Larry urged while clutching her petite hands tightly.


    What''s wrong with him? Why is he suddenly so apprehensive when it''s been rather peaceful recently?


    Puzzlement showed on Joan''s face.


    "Alright, I got it.Don''t worry, for I''m not a three-year-old kid.I''ll be careful" she promptly assured while


    gently caressing the hair at his forehead.


    Sure enough, after Larry had gone abroad while Jessica and Caspian had started their vacation the


    next day, Joan obediently stayed home instead of going out.


    Nancy, on the other hand, was still mollifying Jory.


    Very quickly, news of Larry having gone abroad and Caspian being away reached De.


    And thus, she started scheming and plotting again.


    Hmph! I''ll see who can save you this time, Joan Watts! A sneer yed on her lips as she stood before


    the window, and a malicious gleam glinted in her eyes.


    "De Duff, let me warn you that I''m still in the country even if Larry Norton has gone abroad.So, you''d


    better behave.Don''t do anything to Joan!"


    Jake''s voice was threaded with steely warning through the phone.


    Good God, he actually still wants to protect that b*tch! De''s eyes shone with a murderous glint.


    "Mind your own business, Jake Wilson! Don''t go poking your nose where you don''t belong!"


    After saying that, she hung up the phone.


    Hmph! What do I have to fear now? Her lips curved into a smirk.


    Then, she clenched her jaw tightly as her expression contorted with malice.


    Weil, well...


    You''ll never escape me, Joan Watts! Knock, knock, knock! A series of loud and urgent knocks rang out


    at the door.


    Hmm? Who could that be? Upon hearing the knocking, Joan instantly bolted up with apprehension


    etched on her face.


    "Larry!"


    This voice sounds rather familiar...


    Joan slowly got out of bed and walked out of the room.


    "Open up, Larry! It’s me, Gabrie!"


    Outside the door, the woman''s voice was exceedingly coy.


    Gabrie? Don''t tell me it''s that Gabrie? What has she got to do with Larry? All at once, Joan''s guard


    went up.


    Don''t tell me she''s now his mistress? No, that''s impossible! Larry isn''t the kind of person who would


    cheat!
