Chapter 2712 No One Else Can Have Him
“If I can’t have him, no one else can!” She then shoved Joan back onto the sofa, causing her to yelp in pain.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Dustin rushed over and caressed her head gently.
“Oh, my… Look how lovey-dovey you two are… I bet Larry would be so mad if he were to see this!” Della said sarcastically.
“Della, you’d better stop this right now or you might end up in prison!”
Dustin meant well and tried to talk her out of it, but Della refused to listen.
No… Della wasn’t like this before! Could it be that someone brainwashed her into doing this?
With that in mind, Joan stood up all of a sudden, much to Della’s surprise.
“What are you doing?” Della asked.
“Della, I know you’re a kind person at heart. You’re only doing all this because someone instructed you to, right?”
As expected of Larry’s woman… Della stared at Joan expectantly, hoping to hear who she suspected was the mastermind behind everything.
“Is it Jake?”
He was the only person Joan could think of at the moment, and she wasn’t even sure about her guess at all.
However, Della froze upon hearing that name, and Joan noticed that reaction of hers.
So it really is him! The look on Joan’s face was instantly shrouded with an icy-cold aura.
She had hoped to stay as far away from him as possible, but that didn’t seem to stop him from causing her trouble regardless of where she was.
Unbeknownst to them, Jake was lounging on the sofa in a hotel nearby, swirling a glass of red wine while watching everything through a security camera.
“Why are you teaming up with Jake?” Joan shook her head in confusion as she asked.
Why else do you think? Obviously, I’m doing this to be with Larry! I want to be with Larry! I have to be with him!
“Do you really think Larry will be with you just because you’ve pushed us both into a corner like this? If so, then you don’t even know Larry at all, nor do you love him for that matter! You just want to own him, and that’s possession, not love! Della, if you truly love Larry, then you should be trying to help him out instead!”
The light in Della’s eyes seemed to fade when she heard that. She’s right… What am I doing? I’m only causing Larry even more trouble, but… It’s too late for me to back out now!
“Stop this, Della! Your father is really worried about you, you know? Your employees too! In fact, Larry too, is worried about…”
Heh… Him? Worry about me? Please… Joan is the only one he cares about! Della got a little agitated when she heard Joan mention Larry again and pouted helplessly.
“Happiness gained through the use of force isn’t true happiness, Della. Sometimes, you just have to let go of someone you love to truly be happy…” Joan added softly in an attempt to snap Della out of it.
“Enough!” Della looked up all of a sudden and shouted at the top of her lungs, scaring everyone around her into taking a few steps back.
“Joan, did you seriously expect to just touch my heart with your words and make me believe you?”
“No, it was never my intention to touch your heart! I just wanted to remind you of who you are!”
Joan’s words were simple yet so powerful that even Dustin found himself a little moved as he watched from the side.
“Della, you’ve always been a woman who clearly knows what you want in life. You’re beautiful, kind, gentle, caring, generous, reasonable, capable, and excellent in every aspect! You’re a career woman that we all look up to!”
