Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2432

Joan didn't need to explain anything in detail for Nancy to guess that the Owens family was behind it.

"You're talking about the head of the Owens family, aren't you? Makes sense, I guess," being an intelligent woman, Nancy was quick to deduce everything. "Ugh, Caiden is such a lunatic. He has always known that the man you love is Larry, but he keeps badgering you shamelessly, anyway."

Nancy paused before she protested and got ready to leave. She said, "You know what? This won't do. I'm gonna go and have a word with that jerk."

"Stop. Don't. Larry will deal with it," said Joan quickly to stop her.

"No, that won't do. Larry will do what he is supposed to do, but I still have to go talk to Caiden. I need to know what the hell is his problem!" insisted Nancy. She was so stubborn that Joan couldn't stop her. Meanwhile, Caiden was sitting in a corner of a café swiping at the screen of his mobile phone, looking bored.

Lately, he had been learning business management from his father because he had decided to take over his father's business. However, he was annoyed by the boring, endless tasks at work. "Caiden Owens!" called out Nancy as she marched toward him.

Everyone in the area was surprised to hear a woman shouting like that. They shifted their gazes to her.

"Nancy? What brought you here? It's been such a long time since we last saw each other," greeted Caiden as he stood up.

He was old friends with Nancy, but they lost touch after he went overseas.

"You assh*le!" shouted the woman before she flung her bag at him.

What the hell is wrong with her? What's up with that bad temper? I don't remember pissing this woman off lately... Caiden instinctively backed away from her. He knew just too well how Nancy would turn into a violent banshee upon losing her temper.

"You assh*le! Why do you keep pestering Joan all the time? Are you really that lonely?"

Nancy cussed so much that Caiden was thrown off guard and was at a loss of what to do. He didn't know what had happened or why the woman in front of him was that angry.

"Nancy, calm down and speak clearly, please," said Caiden as he tried to get Nancy to settle down.

Unfortunately, nothing worked. Nancy had always been loud. Moreover, the person who got hurt was someone she cared about, so her emotions were running wild with worry at that moment.

"Tell me. Why did you do all that to Joan?" demanded Nancy.

Caiden felt wronged as he stared at the woman in front of him.

"What did I do to her? She got a divorce, so I courted her and proposed to her afterward. What's wrong with that? Besides, didn't she reject my proposal? I never bothered her again after that. What else do you expect from me?" asked Caiden.

He thought that he had improved a lot because he was able to let Joan go.

Given his usual style, he would've kept courting and badgering the lady until he finally got her. But that didn't happen with Joan. He had decided to let go of his feelings for her to save himself, the Owens family and his parents. He even went back to work at the office. Is all that still not enough?

"Do you know that she almost died?" roared Nancy angrily.

That sentence got Caiden's attention.

"What is that supposed to mean? Tell me. What happened to Joan?" demanded Caiden immediately.

"The head of your family did it. He kidnapped Joan. Luckily, she was rescued in the end. You've already returned to the Owens family, so isn't it time you let Joan go? She never even bothered you in the first place," complained Nancy.

She's right. I was the one who actively went after Joan. She rejected me and tried to avoid me, but I never gave up until recently.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this," replied Caiden.

The two of them spoke a little more before they parted ways.

At the hospital, Joan was currently resting on the bed. She was mindlessly flipping through a magazine, looking bored and sad.

I wonder how Lucius is. Did the ordeal scare him?

Joan struggled for a long time before she picked up her phone and called Delilah.
