Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2884
Suddenly, Caspian barged into the office and gasped out the news, “Larry, something’s wrong with Joan!”
Larry jolted up from his seat and rushed out immediately after he retrieved his jacket. “What’s wrong?”
“A woman in the mall insisted that Joan has abducted her daughter.”
How is that possible? Joan would never do such a thing! Although she has always been fond of children, she would never take someone’s child away! I think it’s just another misunderstanding.
Wait! Is someone scheming against her again?
But Della is now on good terms with Joan. Who still holds a grudge against Joan? Gabriella? No! It’s impossible because she has completely lost her memories!
Gabriella, who was next to Joan, yelled, “Stop picking on us!”
“Have you no shame? Stop embarrassing yourself already!”
“Yeah! Can’t you start a family with your husband or something?”
“She must be out of her mind.”
The onlookers engaged in a heated discussion with contemptuous expressions while pointing fingers at Joan who was pushed to the ground.
“Shut up! Have you guys not heard me? It’s not Joan’s fault! Someone’s trying to frame her!” Gabriella yelled at the woman on their left.
Who gave them the audacity to utter such out blunt lies? I’ll teach them a lesson and let them know their place! Irked, Gabriella placed her hands on her hips, emanating a menacing aura.
“How can you blame this innocent woman over here when she’s the victim?”
“Ms. Ward, can you stop twisting the facts?”
Shortly, the onlookers surrounded them, reprimanding Gabriella for defending the woman they deemed at fault.
Infuriated by the insolent bunch’s behavior, colors drained from Gabriella’s face. They didn’t bother to conduct their due diligence and acted as though they were the righteous ones.
“Argh!” Joan shrieked in pain when someone kicked her.
“Joan, are you okay?” Gabriella returned to her friend’s side and asked concernedly.
“I’m fine. We should get going immediately.” She tried to bring herself up and leave the scene as soon as possible since no one would listen to her.
“Where do you think you’re going? Are you going to kidnap someone else’s child again? Have you no shame at all? Shouldn’t you be apologizing?”
“She’s right! You should apologize!”
Why should I apologize when I haven’t done anything wrong? Joan grasped the hem of her shirt while her eyes were filled with indignation.
When Joan was on the verge of breaking down, Gabriella warned the onlookers, “Stay out of our way! Joan is Larry’s girlfriend! You’re all going to get on his bad side!”
However, they paid no heed to her words and thought it was another lie.
“Ms. Ward, are you sure out of your mind? What’s wrong with Larry? Why would he get into a relationship with a woman like this?”
“That’s right. We’re talking about the almighty Larry! She doesn’t deserve him!”
In the end, the onlookers started picking on the duo for lying again.
Joan felt awful and started doubting herself because of the onlookers’ mean remarks. I’m not a member of any renowned family, but I have worked hard and given my best in life! I don’t deserve to be humiliated like this!
Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted the onlookers. “Shut up!”
Surprised by what she heard, Joan turned around and saw a man closing in from afar.
Why is he here? The confused woman started sizing him up.
Meanwhile, Jake repeated himself. “Have I not made myself clear? Get the hell out of our sights at once!”
Intimidated by the notorious man’s warning, the crowd did as instructed and dispersed without further ado.
After that, the man approached Joan and asked, “Are you okay?”
