Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2731
The Incriminating Video
Larry was alerted with a jolt. âJessica, watch your tone!â
He sounded slightly anguished as he countered Jessica's accusation.
âThis is how I speak! Take it or leave it! I can't believe you could be so foolish! You haven't even
looked into the matter, and you have already made your own presumptions...â
She lashed out like a Gatling gun without considering Larry's feelings and hung up right away.
In his office, Larry looked at the phone in his hand. A look of frustration appeared on his face.
âWhat's wrong, Larry?â Caspian walked in while yawning simultaneously.
"Where's your girlfriend?â He looked up and inquired sternly.
Jessica? Caspianâs head tilted to one side as he recalled the events of the previous day. Oh yeah...
Jessica didnât come home last night!
âShe might be at the bookstore. She's kind of busy lately.â Caspian answered steadily as if nothing
out of the ordinary happened
âShe's with Joan!â Larry lowered his head and continued skimming the document next to him.
Huh? Why did she go look for Joan? Caspianâs features scrunched up in confusion.
"What's the matter, Larry? Did Jessica get herself into trouble?â He asked with concern.
âNo. It's just that she spoke a little too rashly.â Larry answered indifferently while staring at his
computer screen.
Caspian sighed. He was a little dismayed. Actually, he had gotten used to Jessica's impulsive nature.
"How's Della?â Larry raised his head, hoping to hear some good news from the person before him.
Caspian hesitated a little, then slightly shook his head awkwardly.
Della didnât seem to be in good shape.
âBut Larry, do you really believe everything that Ms. Duff said?â
Caspian could not wrap his head around it.
No matter what others may say, I absolutely do not believe that Joan would hurt Della!
If someone told me that Della picked on Joan, I would believe them. But Joan hurting Della?
Ridiculous!
Based on his impression of Joan, she was gentle, kind, beautiful, and generous. She did not seem
like the type of person who would stoop down to that level.
âI don't know.â
Larry turned his head toward the window. He squinted his eyes and peered at the scenery outside;
he was in a daze.
Should I really trust Della? Then again, the video clip that she sent to me didn't seem to be
fabricated!
âCan you please go out? I need some time alone.â
Larry waved his hand at Caspian and his eyes dimmed.
Della had indeed sent Larry a video some time ago. It was an edited video showing Joan hurting
Della.
At the seaside, the atmosphere was serene with the soothing sea breeze and the undulating waves
that glimmered.
However, unlike her peaceful surroundings, Joan's heart was in turmoil. She was on edge and strung
up. She did not know whether Larry had any plans to resolve this whole issue, but she really didn't
feel like talking to him.
Jessica looked at her with concern. She heaved a long sigh and did not say anything because she
had no idea how to make things better. After a long time, she suddenly stood up and walked to one
side with her phone.
âCaspian, just what is going on with Larry?â Jessica asked in exasperation.
âI have no idea as well,â answered Caspian innocently.
âYou are with him every single day. How could you not know anything? You've got to be kidding
me!â
Caspian hesitated. Well, it's true that I am with Larry day in and day out most of the time. However, I
don't always comprehend what is going on in his mind.
"How's Joan? Is she okay?" Caspian asked with worry.
âHow can she be okay with what's going on? Tell Larry to come and apologize to Joan! He better
not accuse Joan of hurting Della again. I don't f*cking believe that Joan would do something so
despicable and underhanded!â
Oh no, Jessica is really enraged!
âJessica, please calm down. Don't be rash...â
âI don't care! Do something!â
She did not wait for Caspian to reply and straightaway ended the call.
Why is she so agitated all of a sudden? Looking at the sleek surface of his phone, Caspian was at a
loss about what to do.
âJoan, don't you worry. I will make Larry apologize to you!â Jessica proclaimed firmly.
