Chapter 2726 Why Are You Here
He raised his head to look at her, smiled, and nodded gently.
He knew that Jake was not someone he wanted to provoke and that he was a person who always avenged his grievances.
After they chatted briefly, Jessica then left his office.
Soon, the sky turned dark. Perhaps because he had met Joan, Larry started to pack up to leave very early on that day.
Hiss…
Just then, the door was gently pushed open.
“Caspian?” said Larry without looking up.
Most employees had already gotten off work by that time. Except for Caspian, no one else would head back to the company after ending work.
“It’s me,” a bitter voice rang out.
Instantly, Larry stopped whatever he was doing and looked up.
“Why are you here?” he asked bluntly.
What else? Of course I’m here to provoke you! Jake rubbed his hands together, his expression full of evil.
“Are you happy now that Joan’s back?” he asked, sounding mysterious.
What’s that got to do with him? Larry snorted coldly and ignored him as he continued to organize his belongings.
“I have something else to do. Bye,” said Larry as he turned to go.
“Larry!” Jake suddenly shouted fiercely, his tone cold.
Larry instantly stopped in his tracks as if he were waiting for something.
“Are you sure you know exactly what Joan’s been doing recently?” he said, a hint of playfulness in his tone.
Larry then turned around, looking at him questioningly. What could she have done? She definitely wouldn’t do anything to harm others.
Jake continued, “Where’s Della? Where did she go? How is she now? Are you really not the least bit concerned? Would you still turn a blind eye if Joan had set her up?”
Immediately, alertness and anxiety flashed across Larry’s eyes.
What does he mean? Does Joan have something to do with Della going abroad?
“Did you know that Della almost died? Joan did that to her!”
Upon hearing his words, Larry was stunned.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Joan wouldn’t harm her even if she were overseas!” he shouted.
He knew that Joan would never do anything against her conscience.
“Do you really think Joan’s a good person? You’re wrong then! You probably still don’t know about what she did abroad…”
Jake spoke so eloquently and confidently that Larry almost believed his words.
“You’d better go home and ask her about what exactly she did to Della. Also, she’s probably very clear about what kind of dangerous situation Della’s in right now.”
For some reason, Larry felt very anxious then. Did Joan really do something stupid? He clenched his fist, trying to suppress his emotions.
“By the way, you’re really amazing! Congrats on getting Norton Corporation into the fashion industry,” said Jake as he clapped his hands and walked out of the office.
Larry suddenly felt very lost and confused.
He knew nothing about what Joan previously did overseas. Moreover, he did not expect that Della had directly gone to Joan.
Everything seems a little too coincidental.
Lost in thought, Larry stared into the dark sky outside and sighed, his expression sad and hurt. If Joan really hurt Della, what should I do?
Ring, ring, ring…
All of a sudden, his phone rang.
He immediately picked up after glancing at the caller’s name.
“It’s getting late, Larry. When are you coming back?” Joan asked.
“Go to bed first. I’m working overtime tonight. Recently, the company…” he said helplessly, looking for an excuse.
Working overtime again? As Joan stared at the phone in her hands, her eyes dimmed with disappointment.
Is he purposely avoiding me? Upon having that thought, her heart skipped a beat as her breath seemed to stop. She wanted to say something else but did not know what to say.
