Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2861

Those words got Nancy to grin in secret.

The housemaid monitored Nancy for a long while before deciding that the latter would behave. The former left after that.

That is one vigilant housemaid! Nancy turned around and scanned her surroundings to try to learn something, but she couldn't see any signs of Joan being there, no matter how hard she tried.

That's strange. Is Joan really still staying overseas? That doesn't seem possible either. Jake has already sent out the wedding invitations, and the big day is right around the corner. How could she not be back?

Wait, when I first barged into the living room, I think I heard the housemaid say something like Ms. Watts... Hold on. Did they hide Joan away?

Oh my gosh, these people are so despicable. I can't believe they would go as low as that! Looks like Joan has no real power or authority under this roof.

Naturally, Jake had deliberately made things that way.

Joan looked out the window from her room. She yawned and stretched a little as a sense of sleepiness ambushed her. She was about to turn around when she suddenly saw a figure on the first floor. Huh... That's strange. Why does that woman seem so familiar? I feel like I've met her before...

Joan stared at that woman for a long time, but she still couldn't recall who Nancy was, so she gave up soon after. She retired to her bed and closed her eyes.

"You can leave now. I just peeked, and no one is outside," said the housemaid rudely after approaching Nancy.

Wow, this woman is strict. She acts as if she is the owner of the house, thought Nancy. She pursed her lips and looked utterly dissatisfied.

"Err, those men must be lurking somewhere near. I'm certain they haven't left. Trust me. Look at the state I am in. If they catch me again..." said Nancy. She deliberately trailed off to cry a little.

"Alright, alright, you can stay for two more hours, but you must leave immediately after," said the housemaid before she left.

Hmm... two hours. That's enough for me to replace Joan. Nancy tilted her head up, and an amused smirk crept up on her lips.

Most houses were designed so that the master bedroom was on the second floor. As far as Jake is concerned, Joan is already the lady of the house, so he must've gotten her a room on the second floor. Staring at the open window on the second floor, Nancy grinned. She was strategizing a way to sneak past the housemaids and go to the second floor.

Except these housemaids are too smart to fool. I will not be able to reach the second floor all on my own. I will need some help from the others. Upon coming to that conclusion, Nancy fished out the phone she hid in her sleeves and secretly texted Larry.

"We have to help out now," said Larry as he read Nancy's text. Everyone else straightened their backs and was waiting for Larry's instructions.

It took less than five minutes for a few strange men to walk to them.

"We're ready, Mr. Norton," reported the strange man as he cracked his knuckles.

"Go on then. Be careful," replied Larry. Soon after, the strangers armed themselves with weapons and went to Jake's villa.

Larry had already made things clear, so they would not hurt or kill anyone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Inside the room, Joan was woken up by the urgent and loud banging on the door. Nancy, on the other hand, grinned when she heard the knocking on the door. Something is up. The housemaid went to the backyard before she hurried over to the front door a few minutes later.

That's strange. Shouldn't her first instinct be to open the door? Why did she go to the backyard first? Nancy frowned. She sensed that something was off.

"Hi, who are you looking for?" asked the housemaid who was pretending to be polite after she answered the door.

"Did a strange woman come by just now?"

Ah, so they're looking for the irritating kid who insisted on staying and hiding here... thought the housemaid. Nancy was already out of the housemaid's line of sight by then.
