Chapter 2950

"Were you the one behind Joan's abduction?" Jake directly asked her.

Since Della knew beforehand that Jake would ask her about Joan, she was mentally prepared for hisquestion.

"No!" She answered confidently.

Although I may have spurred Abelyn into hurting Joan, I'm not the one who actually hurt Joan.Why should I take the blame? Jake stared intently at Della.

if it wasn't her then who else would do such a thing? Or is she lying to me? However, it reallydoesn't seem like she's lying.

"Della, we're on the same boat here.You don't have to be mendacious with me” Jake replied.This son of a b*tch! How dare he put me on the same boat as him! Peeved, Della let out a snort."Like I said just now, it wasn't me who did it Why are you pinning the blame on me?" Dellaresponded.

It was the first time Jake saw Della being so serious and obstinate.

It looks like there's more to this than I thought.

Jake glanced vacuously outside the window as he fell into his thoughts.

"Sometimes, people aren't what they seem to be.Don't simply judge a book by its cover." Havingsaid that, Della took her purse on the sofa and left.

After hearing Della's statement, Jake was a bit baffled

That being said, since he was ten times smarter than an average joe, it didn't take him long to figureout the meaning behind Della’s words.

It looks like there's a despicable person hiding among Joan's circle.

I hope she'll be okay.Knowing her, she probably won't be wary enough of those close to her, whichis a bit concerning.

Larry, after staying by her side for so long, you still couldn't manage to protect her! Jake gazed outthe window with his cold and lifeless eyes.

Having finally found Joan, Larry was reluctant to leave her side as he was still worried about her."Larry, are you not going to work?"

Joan murmured while sitting on the couch in the living room.

"No, I'm not going."

Larry held even tighter onto her waist.

Joan was miffed as she didn't want to see Larry neglect his work because of her.

"Larry, you should head to work.Or else I'll move out of your house.”

Joan was fraught with guilt.

Larry was stupefied for a while before letting out a smile.

"Don't worry, I can just work from home."

Larry pointed at his note book on the table.

Since he was the president of Norton Corporation, he could work wherever and whenever he liked.Not to mention, with his capabilities, he would get the job done no matter where he was.

Joan let out a faint smile and held tightly onto Larry's arm.

Feeling the warmth of his body temperature, Joan could finally relax.

Maybe I've fallen head over heels for him.

After closing her eyes, Joan felt a sense of loneliness slowly eating away at her.

"Joan, you should refrain from contacting Abelyn in the future, okay?"

Larry whispered while stroking her hair.

Joan immediately opened her eyes and glanced at him with a concerned expression on her face.How should I answer this question?Should I tell him what happened in the hotel room? She wasrather bewildered.

Although she was impatient to know the truth, she was afraid that the truth would hurt her."What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Larry cupped her face in his hands.

"No, I'm fine."

Joan looked flustered as she shook her head.
