Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1528

Carl spared no mercy in fabricating any sort of tall tales that he deemed capable of threatening

Larry and Norton Corporation.

For a time, Carl's name resounded throughout Marsingfill. Everyone wanted to know whether this

insignificant commoner could bring down the local legend, Norton Corporation, to its knees,

causing the company to fall into disrepute or even bankruptcy.

Carl found himself riding on the crest of success. Norton Corporation's inaction made him believe

that they dared not show their faces because they simply could not produce corresponding

evidence. Therefore, his words became bolder in front of the journalists, his ego getting the better

of him.

He also called Gabriella numerous times, asking when she would marry him.

Gabriella told him that they were currently at a crucial point in time and warned him not to keep

calling her so as not to risk exposure.

But Carl would not listen. He even swore that he would reveal everything to the press if Gabriella

went back on her word.

Left without a choice, Gabriella appeased him by saying that the Ward family was still recovering

from the major blow dealt by the Norton family. It would take some time for the Wards to get back

on their feet, but once they did, she would marry him immediately.

Carl happily agreed. Now all I have to do is wait for Norton Corporation to declare bankruptcy due

to overwhelming debts.

At the same time, there was also a large number of journalists and media representatives who

wanted to interview Larry and Joan, hoping that they could provide some reasonable explanation

for their current predicament.

But they were disappointed as Larry and Joan rejected all forms of interviews. Even when rumors

were flying everywhere, they chose to ignore the chaos.

As the farce continued to fester and the rumors soared to new heights, Larry and Norton

Corporation finally took action. He declared his willingness to accept interviews from the press.

When the journalists got wind of his announcement, they flocked to Norton Corporation

immediately. All of them wanted to witness how Norton Corporation intended to resolve the crisis.

After he had attracted enough attention, Larry moved on to the next step. He signaled the

journalists to quiet down, and then he played a recording.

“Carl, now that we have come to this stage of our plan, do you think you can still turn back? You

should know that everything you do is based on your claim as a victim. That's why the Norton family

dares not mess with you. When this whole issue is done and dusted, I'l tell my father all about us,

and then we'll get married!”

They heard a woman's voice in the recording.

The journalists scratched their heads when they heard that Larry was going to play a recording for

them. You're neither providing any explanation nor allowing us to interview you. Instead, you let us

listen to a recording. What's the meaning of this?

However, after they listened carefully to the recording, they began to understand.

What Larry wanted to convey to the press was that the entire commotion had been directed by Carl

and the woman in the recording.

But what could be proven from a single tape?

Soon, the journalists began to raise questions.

“Mr. Norton, I don’t know what you're trying to tell us by playing that tape. I don't think we can get

any substantive information from it.”

“Let's not rush things. This is merely the tip of the iceberg,” Larry assured them.

“The woman in the recording is Gabriella. You all should know by now that, some time ago,

Gabriella was the one who accused Joan of being my mistress and even pretended to be my

fiancée.”

Before the reporters could respond, Larry continued, “Gabriella has always held a grudge against me

and Joan, my fiancée. That was why she directed this sham. “She colluded with Carl, who

approached Joan on purpose and had someone take photos of the two of them that seemed

intimate. She then framed Norton Corporation, accusing me of threatening Carl and sabotaging his

relationship with Joan.

“But in fact, Carl and Joan never knew each other. In fact, he was the one who arranged for

someone to take candid photos of their initial meeting. “Besides, you can't piece a whole story

together just by looking at these photos, can you? Don't simply buy into Carl's one-sided

statements.”

“Mr. Norton, you're telling us not to believe Carl's side of the story. But how do you expect us to

believe that you're telling the truth? The evidence you have so far is merely a recording from an

unknown source.” One of the journalists raised his suspicion.
