A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1471

“I'm glad to hear that. Let's go have dinner together now.”

“I'm sorry, Dustin. But I don't think I can go have a meal with you tonight. I'll make up for it some other day,” promised Joan.

She sounded apologetic and hurt. At that moment, all she wanted to do was to go home and have a good sleep.

“Then, let me walk you home,” offered Dustin. “We'll have plenty of opportunities to have a meal together. It's fine to postpone this one.”

“Thank you.”

“You don't need to be that courteous with me.”

Seeing Joan and Dustin walking side-by-side together, Gabriella finally revealed herself from the dark.

“My, my, Joan. You really are a popular succubus, but you won't defeat me this time,” said Gabriella with a gleeful smile before she left happily.

Meanwhile, Larry was deep in his thought while hiding in the dark as well. He needed some time to process everything that happened that day.

As it turned out, he didn't actually leave earlier. The reason being when he turned around, he caught Gabriella spying on Joan.

Larry was a little suspicious and had his guard up when he saw Gabriella there. She is the one who hired the guy to bully Joan. I wonder what she has up her sleeves this time.

Ah, so Dustin's not her boyfriend... His mood immediately brightened upon realizing that.

But why did that foolish woman lie to me? Looks like I will have to investigate the matterfurther.

Larry drove his car and disappeared into the night.

Gabriella sent someone to investigate Dustin as soon as she got home.

The Wards had always had a good rapport with the underworld society in Marsingfill, so she was able to learn everything quickly.

Gabriella grinned at her discovery.

So Dustin is a renowned doctor who treated Joan in the past. If I can get my hands on the old photos they took together, I can send them to Larry and tell him that Joan heartlessly dumped him for the doctor. After that...
