Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2702

Acquisition

"The Norton Corporation no longer has any business dealings with you. So, you should have some self-respect and stop coming here. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." Upon hearing that, Della quickened her steps and left the room.

"Larry, are you alright?" Caspian immediately rushed towards Larry after the woman walked out and asked nervously.

"I'm fine. Don't worry," Larry replied with a hint of sorrow in his voice.

Caspian lowered his gaze and kept quiet as he noticed the fatigued expression on Larry's face. He felt helpless that there was nothing he could do to help Larry.

"Larry, is there anything you need me to do?" Caspian asked softly.

Even Larry himself had no idea how long more the company could sustain and if there was any future for the company.

"Mr. Norton!" Larry's assistant greeted him in a fluster as she entered his office.

"What's the matter?" Larry replied dejectedly without even looking up at her.

"Umm... Someone is interested in acquiring our company," the assistant shuddered in fear as she took a few steps back.

"F*ck! Who was that?" Caspian swore as he banged his fist into the wall beside him. At once, blood could be seen seeping out from between his fingers.

"Mr. Norton, what should we do? All the manufacturers have already ceased cooperation with us. No one dares to have any business dealings with us...

The assistant remained in a state of panic as she spoke while Caspian was in a daze.

Larry cut a lonesome figure as he got up and walked towards his desk. What else can I do? Do I really have to marry Della?

No way! That's out of the question... Larry shook his head vigorously as he cleared his thoughts and tried to focus.

"Why don't the both of you leave first? I need some time alone."

After dismissing his two employees with a wave, the man closed his eyes.

Should I sell the company? But what will happen to all my staff if I do that? Larry was suddenly filled with guilt as he gazed at the employees who were still working hard outside his office. Suddenly, his phone rang.

Without even looking at the caller ID, Larry accepted the call and put it on speaker mode.

"Larry, do you still consider yourself a man? Why are you marrying another woman when you still love Joan? Where did your conscience go... "Dustin started scolding Larry the moment the call went through. "Dustin, please watch your words!" Larry replied, feeling somewhat provoked by his words.

"Did I say anything wrongly? Larry, seriously, what do you think you are doing? Marriage is a serious affair... "

It was Abelyn who spoke this time round.

She did not use any vulgarities and was rather civil even though she was scolding Larry.

"Why are you not replying? Did you become mute? You don't even dare to admit your own doings? That's strange... " "Stop it!"

Suddenly, Larry heard a familiar female voice over the line. It was Joan's voice, which he had not heard in a long while. Larry gulped. He wanted to say something but did not know what to say.

"OK, that's enough. Please hang up now," Joan said calmly.

"Hang up? No way! How can we let that rascal off so easily..."

Listening to the conversation over at the other end of the phone, Larry couldn't help but smile to himself.

Since Abelyn and Joan were getting along peacefully, it meant that the conflict between them had already been resolved.

"Don't be scared. You have me. I will uphold justice for you!" Abelyn patted her chest and proclaimed confidently.

"OK, enough. Let's not stir up any more trouble." Joan snatched Abelyn's phone away from her as she replied and ended the call.

Beep... Beep... Beep... Larry only snapped out of his daze when he realized that the call had already ended.

"Joan, why did you do that? We should at least replace out his reasons for doing that!" Abelyn grumbled.

"What is there to replace out? Della is an outstanding lady. As compared to me, she's more compatible with Larry," Joan said dejectedly as her eyes dulled.

"Why does that matter? Everyone knows that you and Larry love each other! Della is just a shameless third party who is trying to ruin your relationship. Joan, I'm begging you, can you pull yourself together? Larry doesn't have any feelings for Della at all!"
