Chapter 3039

With a forceful push, Abelyn shoved Dustin aside.

"Why didn't you voice your doubts? You could have asked Joan directly about it. Instead, you choseto commit such an atrocity behind her back"

Dustin remarked in disappointment.

So what?She was the one who started it.If she hadn't abandoned me and left me with Della, Iwouldn't have schemed against her. it's all her fault! She is the one who forced me into the corner."Dustin, you're the only one whom I have spoken to about this. As to what you decide to do, it'sentirely up to you."

Just as she spoke, Abelyn headed upstairs.

Up to me?How am ! to even go about this?0n one side is the one I love now.

On the other, is the one I have loved for many years

How do I even make a choice? Should I hide the truth?! would be betraying Joan then.

Should ! expose her instead?But I can't bear to see anyone harming her.

However, what Dustin didn't consider was that the harm that Abelyn had to suffer was actually herpunishment.

As Dustin sat on the sofa, he lifted his head and stared blankly at the ceiling.

As of now, Jessica knows the truth.

Even if I don't tell anyone else about what Abelyn has just said, Jessica would definitely tell Larrygiven her temperament.

The only consolation is that Joan doesn't want to pursue the matter at all.

Abelyn oh Abelyn, how did you end up being so irrational? With a helpless expression, Dustinlooked in the direction of her room.

"Are you sure?" Larry asked coldly in his office.

"Yes! Absolutely sure! Joan told me herself"

Jessica answered resolutely on the phone.

It seems my suspicion is right.

With an angry expression, Larry threw the documents he was holding aside.

No, I must confront Abelyn to get to the bottom of this.What drove her to harm Joan?Why did shechoose to destroy such a precious relationship? Knock! Knock! The knocks were loud and jarring.In the living hall, Dustin sprang to his feet from the sofa.

Who is it? He became wary at once.

It doesn't sound like a woman as their knocks wouldn't have been so strong.

Can it be that Larry is here to hold Abelyn accountable? Dustin suddenly felt uneasy while Abelynwas still lying on her bed with her eyes closed as if nothing had happened.

"Hi, Larry, what brings you here?" Dustin asked with a smile.

"Move! Where is your girlfriend? Get her down here.

I have something to ask her Larry demanded.

Given how furious he was, Dustin surmised that Larry had found out the truth about the kidnapping.Just as expected, Jessica had told him.

Dustin scratched the back of his head, feeling awkward.

"Abelyn is not at home. What do you want to see her for? Just tell me, and I'll pass the message"Dustin replied quickly.

Not at home?How is that possible?All this while, she would either be shopping, at the movies orsleeping at home.

Given how bad the weather is now, what is she doing outside? As Larry scrutinized Dustin, hesuspected that he was being lied to.

Larry understood and empathized with Dustin.

But, he still had to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Get her out here at once.l want to ask her personally if she was behind Joan's kidnapping.I want toknow what Joan did to offend her."

Just as he spoke, Larry plonked himself down on the sofa, looking unfazed

Given the way he is behaving, he is unlikely to leave soon.

Dustin suddenly felt as if he had a headache.

"Let me buy you lunch while I fill you in on everything that has happened; Dustin quickly offered ashe helped Larry up from the sofa. Hmm?Can it be that he already knows? Larry gave him a curiouslook.
