Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2677 Drugged

Jake had foreseen this and knew exactly how to goad Della into carrying out his plan. "What's wrong? You don't want to do it? Then I suppose you'll have to watch Joan snatch Larry away."

"I'll do it!" Della suddenly exclaimed.

Of course, she'd fall for it.

A woman in love was no different from a fool. As long as they could get what they wanted, they wouldn't give a toss about the repercussions.

Jessica, who was still listening intently outside, had taken out her phone to record their conversation.

After hashing out their plan once more, Jake stood up and prepared to leave.

Jessica immediately ducked into another room to prevent getting caught by either of them.

A flicker of sadness crossed Della's gaze as she watched Jake leave. Her mind was whirling with doubts again, unsure if she should go ahead with the plan. Morally, she knew it wasn't right, but she loved Larry and wanted nothing more than to be with him.

Forget it. Let's just be wrong this one time. Having made her mind up, Della fixed her attire and left to prepare for what might be the most important night of her life.

Now that the coast was clear, Jessica immediately ran out of her hiding place and called Larry.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable..."

Damn it. Of all times, he has to turn off his phone now? Jessica was seething with rage as she stomped her feet. She had to think fast about what to do next if she wanted to protect Larry. Without further ado, she decided to call the next best person, Caspian.

His voice was calm over the phone, a stark contrast to Jessica's. "What's up?"

"Where's Larry?"

"Larry's out. He had something on," Caspian replied, still calm as a cucumber.

"Where has he gone to?" With every ticking second, Jessica was starting to get even more worried.

"To some social event, I think."

Damn it, he really went!

"Caspian, you have to stop him! You can't let him attend that event!" she yelled.

Thinking that Jessica was on another of her crazy rants, Caspian paid no heed to her words and brushed her off.

His nonchalance was the last straw for Jessica.

"Caspian! Are you f*cking listening to me?"

Jessica's yell was so sudden that Caspian jumped in shock and dropped his phone.

"Hello? Caspian? Answer me, damn it! Hello?" Jessica continued to shout when she didn't get a reply.

On the other end, Caspian was utterly devastated to replace that his phone didn't manage to survive the fall.

Just my luck, I had only just gotten this phone a few days ago!

Frustration went through the roof when Jessica heard the dial tone on the other end of the call. How dare that jerk Caspian hang up on me!

She knew she had no other option but to take matters into her own hands.

At that moment, Larry was at the hotel chatting and drinking happily with the presidents from other companies.

Even though he seemed to be in his element, the truth was Larry truly hated such social events. But for the future of Norton Corporation, he was willing to put on a facade and do his best to maintain these business relationships.

"Here, Mr. Norton, a toast to you!" one of the bald men exclaimed as he downed his glass of wine.

Larry smiled and returned the toast out of courtesy.

Another man soon stood up to also offer Larry a toast. "Mr. Norton, it's all thanks to your hard work that Norton Corporation is what it is today. You have my utmost admiration...

Larry had always been able to hold his liquor, so having a few drinks posed no problem to him at all. He could drink any of those men under the table, but never in his wildest dreams did he expect someone to spike his last drink.

Oh my god, why is it suddenly so hot? Larry loosened his tie in a bid to get himself more comfortable as he continued to chat with the men around him.

"Larry!" Even in his stupor, Larry knew the voice that just called out to him sounded familiar.

"Della? What are you doing here?" Larry drunkenly asked.

Someone beside him quickly replied, "I told her to come. You've had too much to drink, Mr. Norton. I got Ms. Duff to send you home since you aren't in a state to drive."

Really? Is he that kind? Larry shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up but to no avail.

"Come on, let me send you home," Della whispered as she helped him up.

Della's touch sent a shock through Larry, and he was stunned momentarily. He could feel his temperature rapidly rising, and he knew there and then that something was amiss.
