Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2023

“Ms. Ward, the mission failed,” the man mumbled dejectedly on the phone.

“What? How can you possibly fail? Could you not even deal with an old woman?” Gabriella roared.

Damn b*tch. I haven’t even begun to list all your faults but you’re already shouting at me? The man coiled his fists and clenched his jaw.

“Ha! Why don’t we talk about why you didn’t tell me about how that woman knew martial arts?” the man fumed.

Gabriella promptly fell silent. She’s that powerful? Fury flashed across her eyes.

Damn it. It’s getting harder and harder to deal with everything. What the hell? The man then informed her about the incident before the call ended.

As he had not completed the assigned task, Gabriella only paid for his medical fees.

Bang!

The door flew open.

The woman on the couch jumped in fright and whipped her head toward the doorway.

“Lars.” Gabriella sprinted toward him, arms spread out for a hug.

It had been a long time since he visited her. He’s here to see the baby and me! Gabriella was understandably excited.

However, Larry shouted, “Gabriella Ward!”

His tone was not a friendly one. She frowned.

“Lars, what are you talking about? What do you mean by was it me? Of course I was the one to make this tea,” she said, changing the subject.

He only has that she-devil in his mind! When has he ever think about me? Never. He has never thought about me! Even a tiny bit of concern from him would make her day, but he was a miser; he only gave his love to Joan. Gabriella scowled.

This is such a joke. She’s not as pretty as me, and neither is she as rich as me. She’s nothing but an ordinary woman, but she’s the only one in Larry’s heart!

“Drop the act, Gabriella. Everyone knows what kind of woman you are. Even if you refuse to admit it, I’ll find evidence for what you’ve done. Also, you should tell your baby’s father to start owning up. Otherwise, once the baby is born, you’ll be a single mother,” Larry uttered in a glacial tone. “Karma is waiting for you around the corner, so you should know when to stop. I’ve been gathering evidence, so don’t assume you’ll get to escape the law. I’m sure you know who you’ve hurt and what you’ve done.”

With that said, Larry left.

The moment he did, the woman collapsed onto the couch. Her eyes blankly stared at the ceiling, lost in her thoughts.

How did he find out about this? I’ve destroyed all the evidence. I’ve stopped contacting those assassins. How did he figure this out? Fear danced across her eyes.
