Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2674
Ingrates
Initially, Larry had wanted to talk to them and come up with a win-win solution for everyone. But he
never expected them to gather behind his back and even go to the extent of celebrating the fall of
Norton Corporation.
What a bunch of ingrates! Who was the one who lent a helping hand when their companies ran into
difficulties? If it weren't for me, they'd have all gone bankrupt!
âWhat's wrong, Larry?â Caspian anxiously asked over the phone.
âWe're terminating all dealings with those business partners. Get the assistant to prepare all the
necessary documents.â
Caspian was confused by Larry's sudden change of plans. Didn't he want to try to retain them?
âLarry, are you okay? Are you sure that's what you want to do?â
âYes, I'm sure. I'm going to change Norton Corporation's growth strategy,â Larry said before
hanging up.
With society's progression and the constant advancements in technology, traditional growth
strategies are gradually losing their effectiveness. With technology dominating the future, Larry had
to be forward-thinking and make all the necessary preparations to future-proof Norton Corporation.
When Larry got back to his office, he found Jessica flipping through magazines on the sofa.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âI'm going to invest in you, Larry!â she exclaimed.
Larry looked at her quizzically, waiting for her to elaborate on her ridiculous declaration. Why would
she suddenly bring this up?
Jessica hung her head as she explained, âI had heard about what happened to Norton Corporation,
so I wanted to help out.â
Oh my goodness. It must have been Caspian! Him and his big mouth!
âNo need for your help. I'll settle it myself,â Larry replied curtly.
"Why do you still treat me as an outsider, Larry?â
âI'm not. You're my last resort!â Larry suddenly answered.
Norton Corporation's development might have been full of setbacks, but thankfully, there hadn't
been many losses.
Ironically, the business partners who had been gloating at him were the ones whining about their
financial losses.
Della had swung by later in the day to talk to Larry once she found out about his decision. âAny
regrets?â she asked and waited expectantly for his answer.
Della wasn't new to the world of business and knew how deceitful people could be. They would
grab any opportunity to make a profit, so she couldn't fathom why Larry would choose to give up
on those partnerships when he clearly could have benefitted from them.
âNone whatsoever,â he replied with confidence.
"Why, though?â
âThey were the ones who ditched me first. And besides, I don't need them.â
Larry had never done anything at the expense of others, and neither will he grovel before them just
for some measly profits.
âThat's good to hear,â Della replied with a smile of satisfaction.
âWhere's Joan? I haven't seen her in a long time,â she added while casually flipping through the
magazines.
âShe's gone abroad,â came Larry's cold answer.
His reply took Della aback, but she soon recovered her composure and went back to reading her
magazines.
Just then, an irate Jessica stormed into the office. âWhat business is it of yours to know where Joan
is?"
Not her again! Why is she so hell-bent on coming after me? Despite her annoyance, Della remained
quiet and offered a faint smile.
"Hey, Della. Are you very bored?â Jessica asked with a hint of sarcasm.
âNot really.â
Dellaâ's calm demeanor only irked Jessica further as she tried to hold her temper back. âThen what
are you doing here?â
âI just felt like coming,â Della replied nonchalantly.
Her reply was so simple, and yet it felt like a slap to Jessica's face.
Is this b*tch openly wooing Larry or what? She eyed both Larry and Della suspiciously, still trying to
figure out if there was anything more to their relationship.
She finally gave in and whined loudly at Larry.
"What's wrong now?â Larry replied without looking up, still pounding away at his keyboard.
"Get her to leave!â
Della kept her head down, trying to hide the ugly sneer on her face.
