Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2478

Must be bad influence from Jessica.

"So, how's Jessica? Is she alright?" Larry tried to change the subject and deescalate the tension in the room.

"She's alright. Everything is okay back home. We were just worried about you," Caspian replied.

"That's good."

In a corner outside Larry's ward, Della said to her bodyguards, "Don't worry about the Caspian fellow."

"You got it."

"But don't let down your guard on Larry."

She knew that Larry had called Caspian over to assist him in a plan that he was not ready to share with her.

In another development, Malcolm was imprisoned in a hotel by his brother. He was now watching television in a hotel room while his limbs were all tied up.

"How is it going over there, Malcolm?" Matthew asked with a smile.

"Can't complain," Malcolm answered nonchalantly.

Right now, I'm just thankful to be still alive.

"Tell me, Malcolm, how did you know Della and what's your relationship with her?" Matthew shot his brother a few questions at once.

Malcolm was slightly taken aback but soon pretended that he had heard nothing and let out a chuckle.

What's he laughing about? Matthew darted to his brother's side and glared at him with unblinking eyes.

"Speak!"

"There's not much to talk about. I've collaborated with tons of people in the past. I can't possibly remember each one of them, can I?" Malcolm teased.

He knew that the sudden appearance of Della on the scene could have something to do with Larry. I know Larry, he will try to save me at all costs.

"Well, she is going to acquire our company." Matthew tried to dangle a piece of information as bait.

Huh? Is he worried now? Malcolm sneered.

He should have worried a long while ago. If he had demonstrated any managerial quality in the past, I wouldn't have needed to work myself so hard all these years.

"Your phone is ringing." Malcolm glanced at the coffee table and reminded his brother.

"Hi, Ms. Duff, to what do I owe the pleasure for this phone call?" Matthew feigned an excited voice as he spoke loudly into the phone.

"Mr. Matthew, how's the consideration coming along?" Della asked indifferently on the line.

What consideration? There's no way I'm considering that!

"Ms. Duff, I'm not trying to be difficult. But the fact is, my brother is really busy at the moment."

Here we go again. If he likes to dance, let's dance.

"Well, in that case, you're leaving me no choice. If I don't see Mr. Lancaster by this afternoon, I'll start working at your office tomorrow morning," Della said while preparing to hang up the call. "Hold on, Ms. Duff. Let's talk for a moment, shall we?" Matthew pleaded.

This woman doesn't allow any room for discussions at all! A menacing smile flashed across Della's face as she said, "Alright then, I'm willing to wait until 12 a.m. tonight. After that, your company is mine." The woman ended the call before Matthew could respond.

That b*tch! Why is she in such a hurry? Matthew started to pace anxiously in the room.

He did not want anyone meeting his brother. His plan was to let Malcolm disappear quietly from the surface of the earth. But his current situation did not allow him to expedite his plan. He was now caught between a rock and a hard place.

Malcolm, who was sitting on a sofa, looked at his brother with a satisfied smile on his face.

It usually takes a crisis for someone to discover their talents, sometimes even grow into leadership. Unfortunately, he just doesn't have what it takes to be in a leader position.

"So, not knowing what to do next?" Malcolm broke the silence.

Matthew shot him a nasty glance but did not utter a word. He did not anticipate things to get out of hands so quickly.

"You really have some guts to have crossed Ms. Duff!" Matthew complained loudly.

Malcolm looked away and avoided his brother's glare. This matter must somehow concern me, or Matthew will not have shown up here at this hour.

"You are going to meet with her tonight," Matthew finally announced.
