Chapter 2957

Is that really it?! bet it's that jerk Johann who intentionally got her drunk!

"Johann did that on purpose! He planned to get you drunk by asking you to drink. You evenstayed..."

"Larry!" Joan interrupted Larry without waiting for him to complete his sentence.

"Johann is much better than that. He's a reliable and civilized man," Joan continued.

Is she defending that man now?Hal! It has just been one night and she’s already taking his side?Women are indeed very gullible!

"I won't allow you to meet Johann in the future.” Larry leaned his head against Joan's collarboneand said softly.

What? I understand that he's jealous, but isn't it too much to ban me from meeting Johann everagain? Joan turned away and looked out of the window with a troubled expression on her face."Why? You are not willing to do that?" Larry touched her cheeks lightly and asked as he noticed herdilemma.

Of course I'm not willing!After all, he's Clara's son!

"Alright, that's enough. You should go downstairs and eat your breakfast!" Joan said impatiently.Larry was upset at the woman's nonchalance towards the matter.

"Larry, am I getting a treat?” Jessica asked cheekily over the phone.

Why should I be treating? Larry was in an extremely bad mood and did not feel like talking.

"I'm not free” Larry replied and was about to end the call.

"Wait! It has already been so long, it's time for you to give me a treat. I have been rushing here andthere just for you and Joan.” Jessica decided to play the emotional card.

This girl! She's really trying all means just to get a free meal

"Fine, fine. I'll treat!" Larry hung up after saying that. It was a big deal to everyone that Larry wasgiving a treat. Jessica informed Nancy, Jory, and Caspian immediately. However, she hesitated whenshe reached

Abelyn’s name in her contact list.

Ever since Joan was kidnapped, there had been a subtle change in her relationship with Abelyn.Jessica knew

Larry very well and naturally, she trusted him very much.

As such, Larry's suspicions towards the woman had also resulted in Jessica casting doubts on her.Never mind! I shall still inform her! Not long after, the group was gathered in a private room in ahotel

"Joan, take a look and see what you would like to order!”

Jessica said while passing the menu to Joan. Abelyn, who was also at the table, could not help buttremble a little when she looked at Joan.

Ever since the kidnapping incident, she had been feeling uneasy all the time and was worried thather acts would be exposed sooner or later. In fact, unlike what she thought, it was no longer asecret.

"Abelyn, is there anything you feel like eating?" Joan asked Abelyn, who was sitting next to her, in agentle voice.

"Huh?" As Abelyn was in a daze, she jumped in shock when Joan suddenly spoke to her. After sheregained her composure, she smiled awkwardly and reply softly,

“Anything will do. I'm not a picky eater.”

"What are you saying? Aren't you allergic to prawns?" Dustin said as he nudged Abelyn lightly. Whydoes she look so distracted?

"Are you not feeling well?” Dustin immediately touched the woman's forehead with his right handand noticed she wasn't running a fever.

"Then we'll just not order prawns." Jessica laughed heartily.

Larry did not participate in the conversation. He was quietly observing Abelyn at one side. Indeed,he saw guilt flashing across the woman's face.

You shouldn't have done that in the first place. Larry thought with a look of disdain. /f she had comeclean to everyone previously, she wouldn't have landed herself in such a state. She would probablyfeel very uneasy at such gatherings.

Her current relationship with us is neither enemies nor friends. What does she intend to do?If sheturns over a new leaf from now onward, I can let bygones be bygones.

However, if she doesn't learn from her mistakes, I will not go easy on her.

"Larry! Why are you in a daze? Eat something! Isn't fish your favorite?" Jessica smacked Larry on hisshoulder and exclaimed.
