Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1753

“It's you? Gabriella... Gabriella Ward?”

Jory glanced over at Nancy with a slightly surprised look. How did she know her? However, he soon

composed himself, making it seem as though nothing had happened.

“Nancy Barrymore... If I'm not wrong, that's your name. You're the daughter of Barrymore Group's

chairman.” Gabriella then stretched out a hand toward Nancy, wanting to give her a handshake

Before Nancy could even reach her hand out, Jory had slapped away Gabriella’s outstretched one. If

one were close enough, they would be able to see the red marks left behind on Gabriella’s pale

hand.

Instantly, both parties’ eyes had a fiery look to them. From Jory’s aura, one could clearly tell that he

disliked Gabriella a lot.

“Is this how you greet your collaborating partner?” Gabriella asked as she kept on a smile.

Compared to the Gabriella of the past, she was now a little calmer. If the same situation had

happened before, she would have been tearing her hair out by then.

“Shut up!” shouted Jory. Never would anyone have expected that Jory would be the one that was

stressed out instead. Looks like he doesn’t want Nancy to find out that he'd cooperated with me

before.

Gabriella looked the man up and down. Besides not revealing his name, he had also suggested a

collaboration but refused to tell her about its purpose and details. While he knew everything about

her, she knew nothing about him.

However, at that moment, she was no longer totally ignorant. At least she knew then that the

mysterious S cared about Nancy very much.

Once a person had something he cared about, he was no longer invulnerable. This was no different

for S, who had kept himself hidden. Nancy is his weakness!

You're too good at hiding secrets. It makes others want to do whatever they can to unearth them.

Nancy quickly realized that the two people staring at each other had some unspeakable secret. But

didn’t Landon chase Gabriella out of the house? Even if Ward Group and Alpire Group were going

to have a collaboration soon, Ward Group would never send Gabriella over to talk to Jory about it.

What exactly is going on? Wait, no. She just said, “your collaborating partner.” Was it really some

secret collaboration?

Nancy had only previously heard of some rumors about Larry and Gabriella. However, she had

always considered him to be a role model amongst men. As a result, she did not believe the rumors.

Yet, at that moment, she trusted Jory even more. No matter what secret he had, when faced with

Gabriella right then, she had to trust him.

Consequently, Nancy, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted the confrontation.

One moment, Gabriella was thinking about how a brat like Nancy would react. The next moment,

she wanted to catch the ignorant brat and push her to her death.

"Have you not been able to go home recently, Ms. Ward? Or rather, has Mr. Ward come to pick

you?"

Although her voice sounded sweet, it carried a dangerous undertone. If one was not careful, they

might fall into her trap without realizing it.

That brat actually dared to rub salt into my wounds? Does she have something against me? Or is

she purposely siding with Jory to piss me off? Gabriella was not a fool. She was able to tell that Jory

did not want to see her. However, Nancy seemed to be linked to Norton Corporation, making her

feel very curious.

“No. I'm tired of the rich lifestyle. I want to live a life of self-reliance now," replied Gabriella, trying

her best to glamorize her hard life.

Sensing the familiarity in Gabriella’s words, Jory froze. Isn't this what I've just said earlier in the

elevator? Coming to think of it, she and I are really no different... He had a wealthy family and

business but did not want to inherit it. Instead, he wanted to live an ordinary person's life while

making it clear that he was self-reliant.
