Chapter 3052

"Are you saying that it was actually Della who manipulated you into setting Joan up?" Nancy askedincredulously in a loud voice.

"Hey, keep your voice down! Back then, Della hated Joan's guts.Besides, I didn't know that Joanencountered Larry after being taken away by her.”

But why didn't Della explain everything to Abelyn after turning over a new leaf? Tilting her head,Nancy's brows scrunched together as she fell into deep thought.

Could that b*tch Della be up to something? She abruptly snapped her head up and looked out thewindow with displeasure written across her face.

Della Duff, you better not try anything funny again, or no one will ever forgive you! Nancy slammedher palm on the table beside her, exuding a terrifying aura.

A few men were chatting and drinking nearby, looking happy.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone in the living room exchanged quizzical looks.

"Are you expecting anyone today?"

Caspian asked Dustin.

Dustin deliberated for a while before shaking his head.

"Not that I know of."

"What are you doing here?"

A voice Nancy least wanted to hear sounded at the door.It was Jake.

"Whoa, what are all of you doing here? Are you having a party?" Jake joked as he walked in like heowned the place.

Nancy glared vehemently at the man.

"Who are you looking for? What do you want?"

Dustin went over and questioned directly.

This was his villa after all.

Of course, he wouldn't be happy when someone irrelevant came uninvited like that.

"What's this, Dustin? I only came here to visit everyone.There's no need to get so riled up.Besides,all is well now that Abelyn is back, right?" Jake said in a meaningful tone.

What?How could he know about Abelyn's kidnapping? Dustin instantly grew wary.

Could he be the one behind this? Seeing Jake's calm appearance, Abelyn spat, "Leave! Leave thisinstant! I don't want to see you ever again!”

"What's the matter, Abelyn? Have you forgotten about everything that you've done?" Jakedeliberately reminded her.

Everyone shifted their gazes to Abelyn, making her feel uneasy.

Dustin immediately got up and close with Jake while glowering at him.

"Get lost!"

Get lost?Where to?And why should 1? Jake cleared his throat and approached Abelyn at a languidpace, all the while wearing a glacial look on his face.

"Don't forget that I know if the things you did to Joan back then.”

Abelyn squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath to calm herself.

Opening her eyes, she announced, "Everyone! Today, I'll explain everything once and for all!"

Jake was surprised at her words.

Is she really taking the initiative to admit her mistake? This isn't like her at all! Jake eyed hersuspiciously, unable to fathom the sudden change in her.

Abelyn started, "Yes, I tried to hurt Joan before, but it was because I was manipulated into doingthat"

Realization dawned on everyone, and they instantly suspected Della.

In truth, Joan already expected as much.

"Alright.It's all in the past now.Let's just forget about it and move on.Everything's fine now thatwe're all gathered here.”

Joan quickly steered the topic away.

Perhaps it was because of her enthusiasm, the others swiftly returned to their conversations and theatmosphere became lively once again.

Jake, on the other hand, looked very unhappy.

Why is Joan always so forgiving?Doesn't every woman want to seek justice for themselves afterbeing hurt?But why is she making it seem like nothing happened at all? Jake sighed softly and tooka seat on the sofa, then stared blankly at the ceiling.
