Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 2976

Chapter 2976

After the bodyguard handed her some food, he yelled, "Hurry up and finish it up if you wish to live!"

Joan felt a strong urge to devour the scrumptious-looking meal she had been served, yet she pushed it aside and asserted with a determined look, "No! I'm not hungry!"

I'd rather starve myself to death than be poisoned to death.

Irritated by her response, the man delivered a powerful kick to Joan before making his way out of the room.

The bodyguard outside asked, "How did it go? Did she consume anything?"

"No! We'll just let her starve to death then!"

Joan could hear the conversation between the vicious bodyguards at the entrance.

Della, since you want me dead, why bother hiding behind the scene? When will Larry return? Can I survive until the day he's back? As she thought about it, her eyes flickered in disappointment.

After she gathered her thoughts, she got increasingly melancholic as she surveyed the surroundings.

Having gone through countless mishaps in her life, she could no longer stand it. She wondered how long she would be able to survive if this went on.

Can I even make it out alive? Once Larry showed up, he asked in an icy tone, "Nancy, have you checked the surveillance system?"

He had no time to reprimand anyone because Joan's safety was his sole priority.

Nancy looked elsewhere and replied apologetically, "Yes, but we couldn't see their faces because the surveillance cameras around the entrance were broken."

She felt guilty because Larry had entrusted Joan in her care, but the woman ended up getting abducted.

"Larry!"

Caspian and Jessica came rushing into the villa after a short while.

Jessica sprinted over to Nancy's side and grasped her hand, asking anxiously, "Have you guys found Joan?"

Nancy shook her head in silence while Jessica stomped her feet in anger and blamed herself, "I shouldn't have made the trip!"

Larry looked out the window and wondered if Della was the mastermind behind the incident, clenching his fists in rage.

Or could it be Abelyn? Speaking of which, where's Abelyn? Dustin, Jory, Nancy, Caspian, and Jessica are all here! So why isn't she here? When he thought about it, he glanced around the spacious living room in an attempt to locate the missing woman.

As he shifted his gaze to Dustin, he asked, "Where's Abelyn?"

"She's currently in the hospital because she's not feeling well"

Dustin answered Larry's query as though it wasn't a big deal.

If she's in the hospital, Della is the only culprit I can think of! Immediately, Larry reached for his phone and made a call.

He asked indifferently once his call was picked up, "Where are you?"

Della was thrilled by Larry's call, replying, "Do you need anything from me? I'm currently home!"

"I'll tell you once we meet in person"

Having said that, Larry hung up the call.

In the café, Della, who had taken a seat at the corner, started stirring her coffee out of boredom.

She raised her head and looked the man in the eye, asking directly, "What brings you here?"

Although she knew that Larry had approached her because of Joan, she couldn't wait to see how he was going to make her talk.

Della's lips curved upwards unwittingly, forming a vicious smirk.

"Why have you abducted Joan? Have I not made myself clear? If you lay a finger on her again, I won't forgive you!"

Larry cut the small talk and went straight to the point.

Della kept her guard up upon hearing his words. He had always been a man of his words.

All this while, he had refrained from laying a finger on her because of her father.

Does that mean he's going to stop going soft on me? Della raised her head and peered into the eyes of the man in front of her with a diffident look.

If he comes after me, what am I supposed to do? I don't stand a chance against him with my limited resources and capabilities!
