Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2798 Always Loved Joan

"What do you mean? What else do I want? As I businessman, I naturally strive for profit. Ever since ancient times, the victor wins glory while the loser is condemned. The same rule applies to business as well," replied Jake coldly.

Is that all to it? Jessica scrutinized him suspiciously. There are probably some personal reasons involved, right?

"Joan's already dead. Your enemy is no longer alive, so please, just focus on your business and stop stirring up trouble!"

When Jessica said that, a grim look crept into Jake's eyes.

He thought that Joan's death would bring him excitement. To his surprise, when he received news of it, he was racked with sorrow and fury.

It was only then that he realized his own feelings.

Right from the start, he had always loved Joan.

He thought that he had fallen in love with Joan's assistant. However, it was merely an excuse for him to get close to Joan despite knowing very well that she was unattainable. This world's crazy, huh? Jake closed his eyes and sighed gently, trying to calm himself.

"If you're here to reprimand me, I'm sorry to say that you can leave now," said Jake bluntly.

He's unreasonable! Jessica spun around and stomped out in her high heels, leaving Jake in the office. With narrowed eyes, he peered out of the window, his silhouette looking quite lonely.

He yearned to meet Joan one last time, but it was too late.

"Should we continue, Mr. Wilson?" His assistant walked over and asked carefully.

"Yes! We must get our hands on Norton Corporation!" replied Jake firmly.

His goal had always been to acquire Norton Corporation. However, he did not expect that Larry would convert it into a fashion company.

Joan's death further solidified his resolve to acquire Norton Corporation. Perhaps, he was furious that Larry failed to take good care of Joan, or he was merely jealous of him.

Back at Norton Corporation, Larry was sitting on the couch in his office and staring at Joan's photograph.

"What are you planning to do, Mr. Norton?" asked his assistant, looking extremely concerned. However, all Larry could think about was Joan's face.

"Mr. Norton?" repeated the assistant.

A long time passed, but Larry gave no response. The assistant sighed and left slowly.

Jessica stomped toward Larry and snatched the photograph away from his hands. "Larry, what are you doing? Do you no longer want your company? Are you not going to enter the fashion industry anymore? Your assistant spent such a long time trying to persuade you."

Jessica blew her top.

"Give it back!" snapped Larry viciously as he glared at her.

"Larry, I'm begging you. Can you pull yourself together? Let's conquer this obstacle, okay? Do you know how many crises the company is facing? Jake is planning to acquire Norton Corporation! You can't just sit idly by and not do anything!" Jessica's voice was filled with anxiety. She could not bear to watch Norton Corporation fall into Jake's grasp, nor could she let Larry wallow in his despair anymore! "Return Joan to me!" yelled Larry as he chased after her.

Joan, Joan, Joan! At this critical juncture, he's still thinking about his love life!

Crash! Jessica threw the photo frame onto the floor, causing it to smash into smithereens.

"Joan!" Larry fell onto his knees and clutched his head in agony. Unable to hold himself back, his right palm landed on Jessica's cheek.

"Did you just slap me?" Jessica looked at him in disbelief as a despondent look crept into her eyes.

"Jessica!" Caspian barged in. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a complex emotion surface within him. He gently nudged Jessica, signaling for her to leave. Then, he grabbed the broom and started sweeping the splintered fragments up. Although the photo frame was broken, the photograph was unscathed.

Lary picked up the photograph from the floor gently, his heart aching.
