Chapter 2970
"Um...Gabriella, why haven't I heard you mentioning Larry in the past few days?"
Joan inquired softly on the sofa in the living room, her eyes colored with a hint of puzzlement.She's here to look for Larry, yet she hasn't once mentioned his name.
This is rather strange.
"Why should I mention him? I've got you now, no?"
Gabriella teased while blinking her eyes at her.
For some inexplicable reason, a burst of joy filled Joan up upon hearing that.
"When are we going to start an eatery, Joan?" Gabriella asked urgently, grasping her arm.
Hmm...
This is a question that really necessitates me to think long and hard.
Joan hadn't made up her mind about the location since she was worried that someone would come and make trouble.
Too many things have transpired previously, and Larry urged me not to leave the house alone, so there might be frequent incidents in the future.
Thus, I'm afraid that an eatery might not be in the cards.
"I'll be honest with you, Gabriella.It's not that I don't want to start an eatery, but there are tons of preparations to be made.For that reason, we can't accomplish it anytime soon; Joan explained at once.Starting an eatery was also her dream, but it was truly not a good time to start a business when the situation was So precarious.
"What's all the fuss about? We'll just make the preparations, then.If you don't want to do that, I'll do it.Don't worry, for everything will be done timely with my father’s help!"
Gabriella avowed as she patted herself on the chest.
Well, that's true.
The Ward family is indeed very powerful.
However, I can't drag them into my troubles.
That will indeed work, but if I were to ask her out, isn't that tantamount to an admission of guilt? Larry is no fool, so he'll naturally be able to figure it out! No, no, that idea is definitely out of the question!
"What if we have someone else ask her out?" the assistant continued.
Hmm...
This one might work.
Della nodded, her brain whirring at warp speed.
"Hello, is this Nancy Barrymore? I'm Della.When I went to look for Larry yesterday, I heard two women arguing in the villa, but I didn't dare go in."
On the phone, Della sounded exceedingly gentle.
Nancy was initially chagrined to hear her voice, but the moment she digested her words, she instantly went on alert.
Two women? Joan should be alone in the villa, so what's going on here? Don't tell me Larry has a mistress out there?
