Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1660
In response, Larry shook his head and said nothing. Every time Larry remained silent, Caspian only
felt more resentful towards Joan. Did he drink a potion instead of the alcohol yesterday? He was
hysterical the previous day, but he seems calm and reserved today.
âBoss, you are abusing your health like that. From as far as I can remember, you have never had this
much alcohol before. Here, let me reheat the hangover soup while you lay down and get some rest
in the meantime,â Caspian suggested.
Despite what Caspian had said, Larry did not move an inch. He was looking out in the distance and
watching the greenery outside the window. Seemingly deep in thought, it was difficult for anyone to
get through to him.
Caspian could only sigh and leave the room with the half-filled bowl of soup. To his surprise, he saw
Nancy hiding behind the door when he went out. Grabbing her arm, he quietly dragged her away.
"How did it go? Did he open up to you? How about his state of emotions?â Nancy shot him with a
flurry of questions.
With a bitter smile, Caspian stated, "He's doing more than okay, and there are no traces of the
heartbreak he had last night. However, he seemed to have lost his spirit. Earlier, he barely
responded to whatever I said.â
This made Nancy worried. âOh? Is it that serious? I guess he is really devastated by what Joan has
done.â
"He is not just devastated... it broke him. I think he has lost his willpower to even live on.â Abruptly,
Caspian thought of the photos taken, and he hurriedly ran to the study to enter his email address
and search for the sender 'Sâ" on his laptop.
Curious about what was going on, Nancy followed him into the room and read the email sent by 'S".
Sure enough, the person left nothing but his nickname in it. Caspian was baffled by who it might be
and what to do next, but Nancy stepped in to take the lead. She smacked her forehead and
exclaimed, âI know what to do, the IP! Search for this IP address right now, and we can trace it back
to him!"
"Oh yes, why did I not think of that?â At the speed of light, Caspianâs fingers began dancing across
the keyboard. It did not take him long before he found the IP address of the sender.
However, how could it be this easy for them to track the anonymous sender down? Even though
Caspian dug out the IP address, he realized it was different for every photo sent. How could the
person exist in more than twenty over places?
Nancy and Caspian exchanged glances. Was this how they were going to end their investigation?
Messaging his temples, Caspian closed his laptop.
"Why would someone use these photos to blackmail others? Caspian, do you think that the
perpetrator is doing this for money?â Nancy thought out loud.
Glancing at her, Caspian calmly explained, âNo, that's highly unlikely. If he is after money, he will
take these photos to Joan instead because she would likely buy them to protect her marriage with
Boss. Besides, the mastermind can only maximize his self-interest by going to Joan, and not Boss.â
âSo he is not motivated by money...â Nancy pinched her chin and continued, âIs he trying to break
up their relationship?â
Rather than replying to her hypothesis directly, Caspian threw her another question, âNancy, have
you ever considered the possibility that Joan might have really done something to let Boss down?
As you know, his company has been closely monitored by various media outlets, and all its stocks
and related products are heavily affected by Bossâ every move. In the case where they expose the
couple's emotional discord, do you know how much impact it would have on the companyâs stock
prices?â
It was one of the rare moments where Nancy did not argue with him. Taking advantage of this
opportunity, Caspian finally revealed the things he had been keeping mum. âNancy, you insisted
that you are certain about Joan's character and her love for Boss. However, in the face of so many
photos and evidence, have you ever asked yourself if you truly believe in Joan's story? Has it never
crossed your mind that she was only doing it to please Boss?â
