Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2137

It seems like this woman still doesn't know about it yet. Joan pouted, smartly choosing to remain silent.

"As you know, I am my father's only daughter. He loves me a lot, and he would do anything for me," Jessica said deliberately. She guessed Joan was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for Norton Corporation.

At this point, Joan understood that the woman was offering a cooperation deal in exchange for Larry.

She shook her head internally, for she knew Jessica would be disappointed. To Joan, there were countless manufacturers in the world, yet there was only one Larry.

If the worst came to the worst, and Norton Corporation really went into insolvency, they could still stage a comeback and rebuild their former glory. Hence, she was prepared for the worst that could happen. Yet no one knew what Larry had churning in his mind.

There were too many uncertainties in the future. No one knew for sure if he could reach the cooperation deal that he looked forward to most.

"Ms. Zimmer, I think you've got something wrong. I'm not familiar with the company's matters since Larry has always been the one in charge of them," Joan said coldly.

Does she really think she can put me off easily? Hmph! She has underestimated me! Jessica put down her spoon. She straightened up and looked at Joan sternly, her eyes burning with anger.

"I know you're not in charge of Norton Corporation's business matters, but do you know how busy Mr. Norton is? He doesn't even have the time to have a proper meal. Every day, he works until midnight, and he can only catch a few winks in the morning. You don't deserve to be his wife! You can't give him any support, but I can. Not only can I take care of him, but I can also get him more collaboration opportunities and prevent the Norton Corporation from getting into hot water. Joan Watts, if you really love him, you should give my words some thought. I still have something that I need to attend to, so I'll be going now." With that, Jessica grabbed her purse and left the restaurant.

Joan's eyes dimmed as she looked in the direction where Jessica had left in a huff.

She knew Larry had been very busy recently, so it was understandable if the latter didn't come home at night. Yet, she had never thought he was overworking himself. At that instant, she couldn't help feeling guilty. Jessica was right. I don't deserve to be Larry's wife when I don't even know what my husband is going through.

She quickly fished out her phone and made a call.

While waiting for the call to get through, she tried to calm herself down. Her voice was trembling as she asked, "Are you still in the office?"

"Yes. What's wrong? Is everything alright at home?" Larry asked worriedly.

Hearing the man's voice, Joan almost burst into tears.

She quickly reassured him, "No... Everything is fine. Umm... I'm going to your office later to bring you some food and clothes."

Pleased, the man on the other side of the line curled his lips into a smile.

He was contented as long as Joan still remembered and cared about him.

The two chatted for a while before one of them hung up.

Joan looked up at the sky, trying to hold back her tears. Then, she left for home after having collected herself.

Sometimes, God loved messing around with those couples that were deeply in love by throwing all sorts of misunderstandings and obstacles in their way.

Later that day, while busying herself in the kitchen, she received a phone call. A lady with a sweet voice asked over the phone, "Hello, are you Caiden's family?"

Family? I'm Caiden's friend. Joan was confused.

"No. I'm his friend. I think you've got the wrong person."

When she was about to end the call, the nurse quickly explained, "We're calling from Clear Hospital. Mr. Owens got into an accident and was admitted to our hospital. You're his friend, aren't you? We need you to come to the hospital and sign the consent form."

Hearing that, I was slightly bewildered. But I don't know Caiden's family's contact number. Where the hell is Jaden? Right! Jaden! He must know how to contact them.

Not losing any time, Joan put down the knife and gave Jaden a call.
