Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2045
“If anything happens to Joan, I will make sure you won’t see the sunrise next day,” he declared.
What a joke! Does he have any proof? Is he acting this indifferent to me because I like him? Gabriella scoffed inwardly.
How funny. My crush fell in love with the woman who used to be my best friend. Now, I’m trying to break them up so I can marry Larry myself.
What is the point getting myself in this mess? I know it’s useless, but I refuse to back down. Why is Joan adored by many? Why is that b*tch so lucky?
“Larry, Joan isn’t with me. Unless you have proof that she’s with me, stop calling me.” Gabriella hung up abruptly after saying that.
That was the first time she had ever spoken that harshly to Larry. It felt exhilarating. Gabriella had enough of putting up with Larry’s temper.
Larry, I will never back down or admit defeat this time! Her nails dug deep into her palms, nearly drawing blood.
Ring! Ring!
“Hello? Where are you now?”
“Ms. Ward, she’s still unconscious. Where shall we bring her? Where are you?” a young voice replied carefully.
“I’ll send you the address. Bring her there.” Gabriella cut the line after giving her orders.
Previously, she didn’t show herself and only hired some hitmen to take Joan down. Yet, she didn’t succeed. This time, she decided to see the woman herself. She was going to die soon, so it wouldn’t take much time.
Gabriella put on her cap, mask, and scarf to cover herself so Joan wouldn’t recognize her. Alas, she didn’t know Joan would still recognize her no matter what. Gabriella was Joan’s closest friend, so the latter knew her very well.
Shortly after, the vehicle stopped in front of a hotel.
“Where is she?” demanded Gabriella.
“In the room. She’s still asleep,” came the man’s calm reply.
Oh? She’s still asleep?
Slam! Gabriella shut the door and slowly made her way to the bed.
Joan, no matter how hard you fight back, you ended up being abducted by me.
If you had divorced Larry earlier, I wouldn’t have to waste so much effort to abduct you. A scornful smile flitted across her lips.
Larry must be panicking now. That’s right! He must be going crazy since you went missing!
Funny, right? I’ve been with him for years, but you’re the person he loves.
Gabriella clenched her fists and ground her teeth angrily.
The sun slowly moved to shine directly on Joan’s face. Perhaps the sunlight was too glaring, for she slowly opened her eyes.
Where am I? Finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, Joan stretched lazily.
She remembered she was eating pizza with Nancy. They also asked Caspian to come, then…
Wait, I’m not in the pizza joint anymore! Her eyes widened in surprise as she tried to figure out where she was. Finally, she realized something was not right.
“You’re awake?” Suddenly, a woman wearing a mask and shades stood up beside her.
“You are…” Joan trailed off hesitantly.
She immediately recognized Gabriella’s voice, but the latter was all covered up. What is she trying to do?
“Gabriella, what are you planning?” she voiced her doubts out loud.
