Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2216

Hearing the woman's increasingly brazen words, Nancy's frustration was written all over her face. She was certain that Joan had a good reason for her actions. Moreover, she knew that the latter was not a loose woman like Jessica had accused her of being.

Hence, she was completely irked by Jessica, the busybody who had poked her nose into other people's business without a clue about the truth.

Unable to contain her rage, Nancy finally rebuked, "Please mind your words in the future, Ms. Zimmer. I have personally witnessed the things Larry and Joan went through as a couple. They are a pair made in heaven, and you need to stop defaming others and making baseless accusations."

There was no way she would allow others to push Joan around.

Who the heck is this woman? Who gave her the audacity to pick on Joan? How is she related to Larry and Caspian? Staring at Nancy in the eye, Jessica caressed her chin in contemplation.

Joan broke the silence by retorting, "Ms. Zimmer, I think you must have misunderstood something because I'm not having an affair with another man. Things are fine between my husband and me. Speaking of which, you need to mind your own business and get yourself a spouse as soon as possible because you're not getting any younger. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to get used to being single for the rest of your life."

Since she had never done anything behind Larry's back, she had no reason to tolerate the vicious woman's defaming remarks at all.

On top of that, she was not afraid of offending Norton Corporation's potential partners at all because the deal had been sealed.

Glancing at Joan, Jessica remarked in a contemptuous manner, "Are you sure? But I have seen you taking care of Caiden in the hospital, doing his laundry, preparing his meal, and wiping him down." Where did this baseless accusation come from? Indeed, I prepared Caiden's meals and did his laundry, but I never once wiped him down! Who was the one who spread the rumor? Could it be her? Joan's eyes burned with rage as she thought about it.

With a smirk, Jessica asked, "Oh? Are you trying to deny it? I saw it a few times when I dropped by the hospital! Hasn't Larry brought it up? Judging by your expression, he must have not, huh?"

It was all part of her plan to make Joan feel bad.

"I was just returning the favor as Caiden once saved my life! Besides, Larry is aware of that too! Why don't you ask him instead? It's getting late. Since we're done with our meal, allow us to excuse ourselves." After Joan finished her sentence, she got up from her seat, but Jessica had no intention to let her off the hook just yet.

"Huh? Can you stay? Otherwise, I'm afraid Larry will put the blame on me."

What does she mean? Why would Larry blame her? He doesn't have time for these trivial and silly matters when he's occupied with work!

Joan announced while making her way out, "That's none of your business because I'll explain everything to him on my own!"

"No! You're not allowed to leave just yet!" Jessica tried to stop Joan from leaving as she still had more to say.

Joan replied in a hushed voice, "What else do you have in mind? I'll spare you another few minutes."

Sneering once again, Jessica tried to pull herself together. She refused to believe Joan wasn't influenced by her remarks at all.

"Ms. Watts, I have been keeping this to myself, but since you're here today, allow me to make myself clear. I have a thing for Larry, and I will never leave him. So please return him to me," Jessica blurted out everything she had in mind without any hesitation.

Nancy was taken aback by the confession, yet she tried her best to calm herself down and regained her composure after a short while.
