Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2872
That’s right! Today, I want to end things with Nancy! She owes me an explanation! So what if she’s a woman? That doesn’t mean she gets to do what she pleases! There’s no rule dictating that women are to be forgiven regardless of what they do!
Jake glared at the couple with a murderous glint in his eyes.
“Jake, this is between you and me. Leave the others out of this. Don’t involve them!” Larry shouted at the man despite being in a restless state.
Ho! So you finally realize this feud is actually between you and me? Why didn’t you think of that when you sent your people to storm my villa? It’s too late now! Anyone who has ever helped you is my enemy by default! I’m not letting any single one of them get away so easily!
Jake scoffed at Larry, displeasure written on his face.
“That day, all of you joined forces, broke into my villa, and took Joan away from me!
“Unfortunately for you, Joan only has eyes for me now. She has long forgotten every single one of you! We’d have already tied the knot by the time she remembers everything! But don’t you worry. I’ll take good care of her and make sure she’s treated like a queen, for she’s my one true love!”
“Oh, knock it off already!” Abelyn charged into the room, cutting Jake off.
“Just take a look at yourself! Do you really think you’re deserving of any affection? Get it into your head! Even if you get Joan to marry you, you can’t get her to fall in love with you!” Abelyn was pretty blunt with her words. She was familiar with how Joan’s mind worked, despite having next to no idea how she could defuse the current situation.
Joan does not love Jake, but she is willing to marry him to repay a debt of gratitude. Thus, Jake took advantage of her weakness and bugged her time and time again to marry him until she eventually surrendered.
It was no secret that Joan had always hated Jake the most, despite being indebted to him. But her guilt soon subsided after she became a victim of Jake’s scheme.
“Ask yourself, Jake. How has Joan treated you and Faye in the past? And how are you treating her now? Later on, she’s bullied and accused. Has that got anything to do with you? And yet, here you are, still lying to her,” Abelyn gave an emotional lecture. She did not like how things had escalated. She could not accept the idea of Joan being the victim of so much injustice!
“Shut up!” Jake clutched his head in both his hands as he yelled in agony.
It took everything in me to forget about the past, and even more when I decide to make Joan my wife and start a new life together. Why do you have to come in and bring it all back? Why do you have to make me shoulder all my sins?
Abelyn tapped on Jory, who was standing next to her, and pointed to the exit. He immediately understood what she meant and quickly escaped with Nancy.
It seemed Jake had been harboring some guilt towards Joan all along!
Seeing him in such a sorry sight, Abelyn sighed.
“No! It’s not like that! Joan has always been mine! She still is, and forever will be! Because she can only belong to me!” Jake guffawed as he descended to madness.
Is he perhaps suffering from a psychological illness of some sort? Larry actually felt a tinge of pity towards the savage man before him.
By the time Jake regained his senses, Jory and Nancy had already left the office.
“Just you wait, Larry! Joan will definitely become my bride!” Jake declared before he left.
For a moment, Larry could not help but feel sympathy for the prideful man. What has happened in his life that made him turn out like this?
Larry walked to his desk and began sorting out his paperwork.
“Boss!” Caspian and Jessica barged into the room.
“You’re too late!” Abelyn scoffed at them. Then, she too walked away.
The two latecomers surveyed the room. Indeed, the three of them were the only ones in the entire office. Jessica rushed to Larry’s side and examined him thoroughly, which irritated the man even more.
