Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2871
Seeing the smug look on Nancy’s face, Larry only got angrier. Da*n you, Nancy! Why have you chosen to be unreliable at a time like this? And you, Jory! What’s the matter with you? Why do you let her take the lead? Larry turned around to gaze out the window, choosing to ignore them.
But Nancy did not seem to notice Larry’s change in attitude. “Hey, Larry! We’re back!” she called to him in high spirits.
However, Jory had noticed the strangeness hovering around the man the minute he stepped into the room. Quickly, he approached Larry and whispered something into his ear.
“What’s that you say? You found Jake and Joan’s wedding location?” Larry asked, his eyes practically lit up in surprise.
“Yes, we did! I’m guessing you owe me one now. Right, Larry?” Nancy replied, still feeling smug. She lifted her chin and patted herself on the chest, apparently proud of her achievement.
Yes, I owe you big time! This is exactly the kind of information I’ve been waiting for!
It turned out that, when the couple was traveling abroad, Nancy and Jory happened to visit a church. It was there that she stumbled upon a conversation between the priest and a bunch of other people. Lo and behold, they were talking about the marriage between Joan and Jake!
Jory had been busy replying to the emails sent by the executives of his company; so he had been completely oblivious to whatever was happening in the background. With that, Nancy was the only one who overheard everything.
Fate must have secretly arranged for Joan and her to cross paths. It was amazing how information as critical as this one fell into her hands so easily!
“So? When’s the wedding? Did they mention anything?” Larry asked several questions at once as he anxiously tugged at her arm.
“According to the invitation, it’s to be held a week from now, but I have a feeling that they’re probably going to have it earlier than that,” Nancy replied in a low voice.
Good point. With Jake’s weird logic, he’s not exactly someone who’ll play by the rules. No, he’ll most certainly get everything ready in advance!
Larry clenched his fists tightly while remaining firm in his beliefs.
“Alright, we’ll split into two teams. One will stay here, the other one will go abroad,” Larry said sincerely, but his orders did nothing to hide his agitation. No matter what it takes, I’ll never allow Joan to marry Jake! If there’s no way for Joan to reject him, then I’ll have to do it for her!
Thud! The door to Larry’s office was suddenly flung open with great force. It was Jake.
“Nancy, you’re finally back! How goes your trip overseas?” Jake spoke to her in a callous tone as he stepped into the room.
Confronted by the man’s chilly expression, Nancy shuddered and retreated instinctively. At the same time, Jory stepped forward to shield his beloved wife. He would not want any danger to come to her.
“Jory, this is between Nancy and me. I advise you not to get involved if you know what’s good for you, otherwise don’t blame me for what happens next!” Jake warned the man, clenching his fists.
“At the end of the day, she’s my wife. As her husband, it’s my duty to protect her,” Jory tried to reason with him.
b*tch, let’s see where you can run this time! With one huge stride, Jake landed directly in front of Nancy.
“Tell me! Why did you raid my house that day? Were you the one who took Joan away?” Jake growled at Nancy while trapping her hand in a tight grip.
Jake’s intimidating presence and menacing tone frightened her to no end. Nancy was trembling all over as her other hand held onto Jory for support.
“Jake, whatever it is, you can take it up with me! Do you still call yourself a man going after a woman like that?” In one fell swoop, Jory wrenched Jake’s arm away from his wife and pulled her into his arms. He had to protect her and would not let any harm come to her.
Watching the scene unfold in front of him, Larry knew that Jake would not let Nancy go so easily.
“Jory, get Nancy out of here! I’ll deal with him.” He approached Jory and tapped on his shoulder, divulging his plan. But Jake, as though possessed by a demon, kept blocking Jory every step of the way. He was adamant not to let the couple escape.
