Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2723

Call From Larry

Larry's words were solemn and determined.

That was his bottom line. He could change his ways, and he could change his careers, but he would never let Jake take over the company.

"Mr. Norton, M Group's president hopes to take over Norton Corporation. It is our honor..."

Once again, another director started trying to persuade Larry.

"I'll never sell my company. If you don't want to stay here any longer, I can buy your shares from you. I'll buy them at the old market price. This is the best way, and the kindest I'll be to you." Larry's words made the other directors enter a heated discussion.

"Has he gone mad? The company's about to shut down, but he's still trying to buy our shares?"

"You're right. He can't have lost his marbles, can he?"

"Moreover, he's trying to buy them with the original market price?"

Instantly, the office was in an uproar.

They were all old sly foxes. As long as they could still reap the profits, they cared not about who owned the company.

"Mr. Norton, are you serious with what you've just said?" one of the directors snapped as he stood up and stabbed a finger in his direction.

"Of course I am," came Larry's plain reply.

"Okay, deal."

Thus, Larry obtained all the shares of Norton Corporation. Very well. As he looked at the directors in front of him, a satisfied smile grew on Larry's lips. Meanwhile, in M Group's office, Jake was at his table, flipping through his documents with a grave look.

"Mr. Wilson, I need your signature on this document." The assistant then handed a document to Jake when he entered.

"What's the situation with Norton Corporation's side?" Jake asked as he signed the paper.

"It's all quiet so far," the assistant slowly said as he lowered his head. It seemed like he was not stressed about it at all.

Wait. Jake abruptly snapped his head upward as anxiety filled his eyes.

He could sense that something was wrong somewhere, but he could not pinpoint what it was.

Norton Corporation has no news even though it's been ages?

Jake then tilted his head to look at the ceiling, deep in his thoughts. Did something happen?

Finally, everything's over, Larry thought, sitting on his office's couch as he heaved a heavy sigh.

I'll just need to focus on my fashion business now.

When he lowered his head to look at his watch, a look of anger and anticipation flashed across his face. It's been days since Joan contacted me.

As he continued to stare at his watch, Larry found himself hesitating. He wanted to call Joan, but he did not want to give in to her.

After a long while of hesitation, he finally made the call.

Ding, ding, ding.

The phone on the table kept ringing.

"Joan, your phone is ringing!" Abelyn waved excitedly when she saw the name on the screen.

"Answer the call for me," Joan shouted from inside the restroom.

Without hesitating, Abelyn picked up the call.

"Joan, where are you?"

It was a familiar voice traveling out of the speakers. Abelyn could hear the worry and yearning in Larry's voice.

"She's in my house," Abelyn said in a deliberately calm tone.

Her response dumbfounded Larry.

Who is she? Why is she picking up Joan's call for her?

"Abelyn, what are you doing? Don't use Joan's phone!" That, however, was a voice Larry knew well. It was Dustin.

Joan is with Dustin and Abelyn. I was right! She went to Dustin!

Smack!

Larry slammed his palm onto the table and it instantly reddened.

"Hush, you! Don't interrupt me," Abelyn yelled at Dustin, who was a distance away from him.

"Larry, listen to me. It isn't like what you think it is..."
