Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2836
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.” Joan turned away directly after that.
In a state of intense agitation, Abelyn stood up and ran after Joan in a jiffy. Standing in her way, the woman sized her up with a dubious look in her eyes.
What’s wrong with her? Did she really forget us? Has she lost her memory?
“Excuse me, Miss, please make way.”
Abelyn’s heart sank at the response of Joan. Miss? Miss? Did she really forget that I despise being called that?
Is she really even Joan? Abelyn started getting suspicious.
“Joan, don’t you recognize us?” Dustin strode toward them, frowning as he asked.
“No, I don’t,” replied Joan firmly as she left.
Just as Abelyn was about to go after the woman again, Dustin held her by her arm and stopped her. “Calm down. Don’t act rashly.” They then went after Joan and tailed her until they reached Jake’s villa. As soon as they saw the woman entering the villa, they were greatly exasperated.
Damn this Jake! How dare he shut Joan away! Abelyn bared her teeth, and a callous aura started wafting from her. Nevertheless, what they couldn’t really understand was Joan’s submissiveness toward Jake, which resulted in her staying in that villa without coming outside for such a long time. Could it be that she has also forgotten Larry?
Mmm, that seems to be the only reasonable explanation.
“What should we do?” Abelyn nudged the man next to her and asked, exasperation in her tone.
“We shall find Jake and discuss things with him tomorrow,” Dustin replied in an icy tone, his eyes narrowing as he did so. He was exceedingly appalled at the discovery of what a despicable man Jake was. He actually concealed her past from her to keep her by his side. How shameless is he!
Just as planned, the duo went directly to Jake’s company the next day.
Sitting in front of his desk, Jake started in a straightforward manner, “What are you two here for? As far as I’m concerned, there does not seem to be any business collaborations or projects between us.”
This asshole! Who would even want to collaborate with him? Abelyn folded her arms and shot him a disdainful glare.
“Jake, why are you keeping Joan away?” Dustin asked directly.
Their sudden questioning did give Jake a shock, but he remained imperturbable. Hiding Joan away was something others would surely find out about someday, so he had been ready for it. It just never occurred to him that they would discover it so soon.
It looks like I have underestimated their capabilities.
“I’m not hiding anyone away,” he stated in an unquestionable manner; there was not even a trace of hesitance in his tone.
Does he really think we’re fools? Dustin paced over to him slowly and patted hard on his shoulder. He was noticeably outraged.
What’s going on? Is he asking for a brawl? Jake shoved his arm away while a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes. Disgruntled, he boomed, “Please show some respect.”
What a two-faced and deceitful hypocrite! Gritting her teeth, Abelyn tried to contain her wrath.
“Joan stays with me of her own free will. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself. My conscience is clear.”
The two people before him were clearly dumbfounded by his words. We need to get to the bottom of this!
“Jake, what you just said better be true. Otherwise, I will inform Larry to come and take her away at once!” As soon as he finished speaking, Dustin yanked Abelyn out of the room with him and got in their car swiftly. Again, he drove towards Jake’s villa.
In the meantime, Joan was lying down on the sofa in the living room, looking a little worn out.
Thud! Thud! Thud! The sudden knocking on the door was too loud to be ignored.
Disturbed, the woman got up and walked into the yard, wearing an irked expression. As soon as she opened the door and saw the two people outside, she kneaded her temples and asked impatiently, “What are you two doing here again?”
Is she feeling unwell?
Seeing as such, Dustin grabbed her wrist and took her pulse immediately.
“What are you doing? Let go! You two are way over the line!” Joan screamed and struggled.
“Enough screaming. He used to be a doctor. He’s just taking your pulse,” Abelyn quickly explained to her.
