Chapter 2970

"Um...Gabriella, why haven't I heard you mentioning Larry in the past few days?"

Joan inquired softly on the sofa in the living room, her eyes colored with a hint of puzzlement.She'shere to look for Larry, yet she hasn't once mentioned his name.

This is rather strange

"Why should I mention him? I've got you now, no?"

Gabriella teased while blinking her eyes at her.

For some inexplicable reason, a burst of joy filled Joan up upon hearing that.

"When are we going to start an eatery, Joan?" Gabriella asked urgently, grasping her arm.

Hmm...

This is a question that really necessitates me to think long and hard.

Joan hadn't made up her mind about the location since she was worried that someone would comeand make trouble.

Too many things have transpired previously, and Larry urged me not to leave the house alone, sothere might be frequent incidents in the future.

Thus, I'm afraid that an eatery might not be in the cards.

"I'll be honest with you, Gabriella.It's not that I don't want to start an eatery, but there are tons ofpreparations to be made.For that reason, we can't accomplish it anytime soon; Joan explained atonce.Starting an eatery was also her dream, but it was truly not a good time to start a businesswhen the situation was So precarious.

"What's all the fuss about? We'll just make the preparations, then.If you don't want to do that, I'll doit.Don't worry, for everything will be done timely with my father's help!”

Gabriella avowed as she patted herself on the chest.

Well, that's true.

The Ward family is indeed very powerful.

However, I can't drag them into my troubles.

No, no, I still need to think about it long and hard.

"Let me ponder upon it so that I can come up with the perfect solution, okay?"

Joan hastily proposed.

"Okay.Don't worry, for it's not all that urgent.l just wanted to know whether you're committed to theplan; Gabriella replied with a pout, dipping her head.

At the sight of her mischievous expression, Joan pinched her cheek and giggled.

"What did you just say? Gabriella Ward is at Larry's villa?"

Della roared incredulously in her office.

"Yes.I don't know why either, but that woman went to Larry Norton's villa for no apparent reason;the assistant answered cautiously with her head lowered.Damon it all to heil! I'm more than anxiousto implement my plan, yet that woman simply has to be a hindrance! Why on earth did she have togo to Larry's villa? Della rubbed her hands vigorously, her expression tense.

While the Ward family's power is no match for my family's, their influence within the country isn't tobe underestimated.

If I truly make a move against Gabriella Ward, the patriarch of the Ward family will never let me offeasy if he were to learn of my involvement! Bang! Della slammed a hand on the table, and her palmquickly turned bright red.

Why did that b*tch, Gabriella Ward, have to go there at just this time? "How about we ask GabriellaWard out, Ms.Duff? Then, we can make a move against Joan Watts; the assistant promptlysuggested, her head snapping up.

That will indeed work, but if I were to ask her out, isn't that tantamount to an admission of guilt?Larry is no fool, so he'll naturally be able to figure it out! No, no, that idea is definitely out of thequestion!

"What if we have someone else ask her out?" the assistant continued.

Hmm...

This one might work.

Della nodded, her brain whirring at warp speed.

"Hello, is this Nancy Barrymore? I'm Della.When I went to look for Larry yesterday, I heard twowomen arguing in the villa, but I didn't dare go in."

On the phone, Della sounded exceedingly gentle.

Nancy was initially chagrined to hear her voice, but the moment she digested her words, sheinstantly went on alert.

Two women? Joan should be alone in the villa, so what's going on here? Don't tell me Larry has amistress out there?
