Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2857
“Yes, someone did,” replied Abelyn firmly, “That good-for-nothing Jake bullied both Jessica and me.”
Uh… Dustin was momentarily taken aback. He was quick to regain his footing, though Oh, I thought Caspian was the one who bullied her…
Larry entered the room slowly. He looked burdened like he had a weight on his heart. He was a little worried about Joan’s wellbeing. More than that, he worried that Jake would take advantage of Joan in her current state.
Joan has always been a sympathetic and innocent woman. She will be tricked if that assh*le, Jake, put on a pitiful expression. She’s even more vulnerable now that she has lost her memories.
“Larry, where should we start searching for Joan?” asked Caspian immediately and anxiously.
Where do we begin? I don’t know either! Larry tilted his head up. He closed his eyes and looked so devastated that everyone looked away in response. They felt bad for him.
“She might already be married to Jake by the time we found her,” murmured Larry suddenly. Those words got everyone to panic.
No, that can never happen! Dustin gritted his teeth and looked unsettled.
“Larry, are we really going to just sit here and do nothing? Isn’t there anything we can do?” asked Jessica softly. Her voice was trembling a little at that moment.
What else can we do? Larry honestly had no idea what else they could do.
“How about we spy on Jake’s villa and wait? Regardless of where Joan is now, she will return to that villa eventually, right?” suggested Dustin firmly.
Those words made sense. Jessica tapped the guy’s shoulder lightly and grinned. Similarly, Larry’s eyes glowed with hope, but that hope faded soon after. Jake is smarter than that. He would’ve already anticipated it.
“Great, then it’s decided. We will hang out near Jake’s villa tomorrow and find a spot to spy on it. Our mission will be to find Joan,” announced Abelyn in a very sincere tone.
Among the people in the room, some have not known Joan for long, but every single one of them cared for Joan. They wanted what was best for her.
Larry was touched when he saw how determined everyone was.
“Hey, aren’t you people being a little too mean? How can you not count me in for something like this?” complained Nancy suddenly as she barged in.
Yep, they did not invite Nancy to the meeting, nor did they include her in their discussion sessions. The reason behind that was simple. She was a mother and needed to prioritize her child.
“Calm down, Nancy. We’ll go look for Joan. All you have to do is stay home and take care of the baby,” said Abelyn, who had run over and hugged Nancy’s arm.
“What the hell? Do you guys even take me as a part of the gang? Seriously, that is f*cked up! I am someone who values friendship so I want to help, okay? Besides, I have access to valuable information,” shared Nancy after clearing her throat.
Everyone gathered around her after hearing what she said. They stared at her with anticipation.
Seeing those eager, familiar faces around her, Nancy crossed her arms and deliberately made them wait.
In the end, some of them finally lost their patience.
“Oy, speak up, Nancy Barrymore. What do you know?” demanded Caspian loudly while lightly shoving her shoulder.
Oh, how dare he talk to me in that tone? I knew it. Men turn around and ignore their ex as soon as they found someone new! thought Nancy. She glared over once before harrumphing and continued making them wait.
“Come on, Nancy. Please tell us,” begged Jessica.
“Ah, alright, alright. I heard from the news from Jory, but it looks like Joan and Jake have already confirmed their union. They even finished shooting their wedding photos and are planning for the wedding now,” answered Nancy carefully and softly as she examined Larry’s expression.
The aura in the room turned strange after Nancy uttered those words. It was as if even the air itself had frozen in place. Everyone simultaneously shifted their gaze to Larry. Heartache and pity shone in their eyes.
