A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2038

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2038

She really wants me dead, doesn’t she? A trace of terror flashed across Joan’s eyes.

Why is Gabriella so aggressive? We’re both women and we even used to be close. Why must she turn things between us ugly?

“Gabriella, give me three days to discuss with Joan whether to get a divorce or turn herself in. After three days, I’ll definitely give you an answer,” said Larry slowly.

He could not think of any other solution at that moment other than buying himself some time to find out the truth in the shortest time possible.

“Okay, Lars, three days it is then. I don’t like delays, so I hope you can be a man of your word. I give you three days because it’s you. Anyway, I’m tired. I’m leaving.” After speaking, Gabriella turned and left.

Joan instantly plopped down on the sofa with a blank look on her face.

“Joan, are you okay?” Larry looked at her worriedly.

How could I be okay and happy when I’m being accused of doing something I didn’t do? Besides, this man seems to be suspicious of me. Joan was disheartened.

“Tell me, Larry, you don’t believe me anymore, do you?” she asked cautiously.

At this, Larry hesitated and shifted his gaze.

How can I believe her? There’s evidence. He sighed.

“Mom, I’m back,” Lucius suddenly shouted.

Joan hurriedly rose to her feet and made a dash for her room, trying to pick herself back up.

“Oh, Dad? Why are you back so early today?” The boy gave Larry a doubtful look as Larry did not go home until midnight recently because of his work.

Why must I turn myself in? I’m innocent! I did nothing! Joan inwardly yelled.

“No way. Joan will always be my only wife,” the man declared sternly.

It was absolutely impossible for him to divorce Joan. It was his limit. As he had promised, he wanted to protect and take care of her forever.

“Alright then, send her to the police.” It was a simple yet powerful response.

Ha. It must be awful to be framed! Looking at Joan, Gabriella pursed her mouth in a self-satisfied smirk.

Serves you right! This is what you get for stealing my man! Gabriella clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were digging into the skin of her palm.

“Gabriella, did you tamper with this surveillance footage?” Larry shot her a suspicious look.

Gabriella knew that he was just trying to sound her out as he had used the same trick many times. Too bad you won’t succeed.
