A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1594

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1594

It had been a while since the divorce was finalized, but Gabriella never returned to the Johnson family’s home or ask Carl to take her back.

That prompted Carl to send his men out to look for her. Unfortunately, Gabriella was nowhere to be seen. It was as if she had fallen off of the face of the world, and there was no sign of her anywhere.

Carl became even more worried when he learned that Gabriella was pregnant with his baby. He prayed that she would be back soon, but even something as minor as that had become a fantasy.

He became more unreasonable after Gabriella left. He locked himself in the house all day, and no one knew what he was doing.

The news about Joan and Larry simply triggered Carl and made him redirect his focus to them. He had put everything on the line to destroy them.

At that moment, Carl was defeated and had lost everything, so he no longer cared about his life.

When Larry broke both of Carl’s leg and got the latter disabled, the insurance company compensated Carl with a hefty sum.

Carl had always been unwilling to spend that money. However, he could carry out his final plan if he added that money to the liquid assets that he embezzled earlier from his family business.

He knew that even if he were successful in exacting his vengeance, Norton Corporation would still have enough resources to trace everything back to him.

But who cares? Living meant nothing to Carl at that moment. Death was a sweet release, and with that idea in his mind, he decided to tap into his last resource.

That day, a man in a black outfit and a black mask showed up in Carl’s place.

Everyone was curious about who the man was, but they didn’t investigate further because he specified that he was there to see Carl Johnson.

The man in black knocked on the door to Carl’s room.

“Come in.”

Carl’s voice was calm. It seemed he had been expecting that visit.

That promise was what got Carl to change his stance. He was an ambitious man and having an ally like that would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Regardless of the situation, having an ally from J Nation’s mafia would help a lot. Moreover, if he was sent to Chanaea for a mission, then he must be rather influential within his organization.

Carl helped Yuri into the car upon coming to that conclusion. The former even sent the latter to the best hospital to receive treatment.

Yuri and Carl had been friends since then. Whether their friendship would last without the allure of power and money… Well, that was something no one really knew.

Yuri Jovovich, the mafia member of J Nation… That was Carl’s last trump card.

“Stop lying to me, Carl. You wouldn’t have called and asked for my help if your issue is only slightly troublesome. Besides, you promised that this will be the only request you will ever make from me.”

Yuri spoke arrogantly. He knew just how powerful he was, and Carl making the call meant that the latter couldn’t solve the issue on his own.
