Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2847
Larry turned around slowly and nodded at her. I can wait as long as it takes for Joan to regain her memories.
Soon, they arrived at Jake’s villa. Jessica could not help but gasp as they reached the villa.
“This villa must worth a fortune!” she exclaimed.
“Ok, ok, enough with the real estate appraisal. We’re here for more important things.” Abelyn pulled her toward the villa.
Knock! Knock!
“Who are you? Why are you here?” one of the housemaids asked as soon as she opened the door.
“We’re Joan’s friends. We’d like to talk to her,” Jessica explained.
The housemaid looked at them suspiciously. She did not see anyone else behind Jessica and Abelyn.
“I’m sorry, but Ms. Watts isn’t in.” She made a move to close the door.
“Hey, wait. Why are you in such a rush? Where did she go?” Abelyn asked.
The housemaid hesitated but eventually caved in. “She went overseas. She said she needed some time away to think.”
Bang! No sooner had she finished her sentence, she slammed the door in their faces.
Did Jake notice something was amiss? Jessica was lost in thought. They looked at each and sighed in unison. It looked like Jake had already been prepared for this.
Larry clenched his fists after witnessing the exchange. His expression was cold as ice.
“Larry, let’s go,” Jessica coaxed Larry once she was in front of him.
“Let’s go find Jake now,” he announced and strode off.
We’re looking for Jake now? Abelyn stared open-mouthed at Larry’s disappearing figure. What’s the use of going to Jake? It’s not like he’ll ever tell us anything about Joan’s whereabouts.
Yet somehow, they found themselves in front of the M Group office.
Thanks to a large number of people in the office, they managed to barge past the receptionist into Jake’s office. Jake was in the middle of assigning tasks to his assistant, Ted.
He put down the documents in his hand once he saw them. He waved Ted off and got up from his seat slowly. “What are you doing here?”
“Where’s Joan? Why did you send her overseas? Someone’s feeling guilty, is he?” Larry fumed.
Ah, I see they’ve been to the villa. They’re smarter than I thought. Jake walked toward his window as he said sarcastically, “She wanted to take a nice relaxing trip overseas. I couldn’t stop her.”
Thank god she has gone overseas before they came looking for her. If she sees Larry now, it might jog her memory. I can’t take any chances even if she doesn’t remember him now.
“You lowly creature! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? How could you hide her for so long?” Jessica yelled, her words dripping with anger.
Ashamed of myself? I saved her! She wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for me! What a joke! These d*mbasses can’t even tell right from wrong!
Jake returned to his desk and sat down. Arrogantly, he said, “If you’re here to look for Joan, then I’m afraid you’ve wasted your time. You’re not welcome at M Group, so please refrain from coming here ever again.”
Jake turned his attention to his computer and began typing.
“Y-you-” Before Abelyn could finish her sentence, Dustin had grabbed her elbow in warning, hinting at her to calm down.
“Dustin, I must say, I’m impressed that you’re willing to tell your rival about the whereabouts of the woman you love,” Jake commented snidely. A sinister smile appeared on his face.
Little did he know that Dustin had already let go of the matter, and his barb failed to achieve its intended effect.
