Chapter 3022

Hmm?Where are we going? Abelyn turned around and gave Dustin a puzzled look.

Tapping her gently on her head, Dustin pretended to be affectionate by reminding her softly."What's wrong? Have you forgotten again? Didn't we agree to it earlier? We were supposed to goout for dinner tonight"

Actually, Dustin overheard the phone call earlier.

Although he wasn't entirely clear, he still had a good grasp of what was going on.

"Oh, that's right.I'm sorry.I've forgotten.Come, let's go now:"

Meanwhile, a reporter had managed to take a photo of Joan dining with Jake in the restaurant."Why aren't you home yet?" Larry asked with concern.

"I'm heading back in a short while" Joan stalled.

"What are you doing? Where are you?" Larry continued to ask.

After a slight hesitation, Joan chose to lie. She knew that Larry would be furious if he knew she washaving dinner with Jake.

"Is that Larry on the line?" Jake asked as he sipped his coffee.

Joan smiled slightly without answering.

Of course, it's him.

Who else could it be? Jake sneered in displeasure.

"Hack..." Suddenly, Joan coughed softly.

"What is it, Joan?"

Jake raised his head and gave Joan a concerned look.

Joan grimaced as she continued to cough.

Worried, Jake approached and patted her on her back to help relieve her cough

At that moment, both of them looked intimate.

Meanwhile, that same scene was being photographed.

Bam! Larry slammed the pictures forcefully onto the ground.

"Mr.Norton."

His assistant was taken aback and recoiled in fear.

"Where did these pictures come from?" Larry asked right away.

Lowering her head, his assistant replied with a trembling voice.

"They were delivered in an envelope where there was no information on the sender.

An anonymous sender!Who is trying to sow discord between me and Joan?Wait, can it be him?Raising his head to look out the window, Larry's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Jake, I hope you're not the one behind this.

Or else, I'm not going to let you off easily.

"Mr.Norton, why don't you ask Ms. Watts about it?" the assistant suggested meekly.

What's the point in asking about something like this?It's obvious that Joan has been framed.Larry's expression darkened.He knew Joan's temperament very well.

Hence, he was sure that Joan definitely wouldn't share a meal with Jake unless there wereextraordinary circumstances.

Therefore, something must have happened.

Soon, it was getting dark.

After packing up, Larry left his office at once.

However, when he returned to the villa, he couldn't replace Joan anywhere.

What's going on?Why isn't she home yet? Larry was suddenly on his guard.

No, can it be that something has happened to her? Larry turned around and got into his car.At that moment, Joan was resting in the hospital.

"It's alright.Don't worry.Just be more careful next time while eating.”

She had an allergic reaction at the restaurant because of something she ate.

The chef had discreetly added into her food something that she was allergic to.

"Doctor, will she be alright?" Jake asked with concern.

"Don’t worry.She'll be fine. However, as her boyfriend, you're doing quite a good job; the doctorremarked with asmile.

Suddenly, silence filled the air.

"He's not my boyfriend"

Joan clarified immediately.

At that moment, the doctor felt awkward and quickly left after giving some instructions.

In the ward, Joan was alone with Jake, causing the atmosphere to feel awkward.
