“Hmph! I'm not letting you kiss me. What if someone sees us?”
“I'll kiss you when we're home then.”
“No, you're still not allowed to!”
“I won't stop kissing you when we're home. In fact, I have more plans for you,” Larry remarked with a mischievous smile.
“You pervert...”
After both of them got into the car, their voices faded away.
Under Larry's persuasion, Joan finally agreed to move into his villa. From then onwards, both of them enjoyed a wonderful time cohabiting together.
However, one man's meat was another man's poison. Just when Larry and Joan were immersed in their happy lives, Gabriella couldn't stand for it.
“What did you say? Joan and Larry are living together in his villa?”
She was outraged by her subordinate's report.
The man was a private investigator she hired just to monitor all of Larry and Joan's movements.
“Yes. Over the last two days, Larry even brought Joan to see his parents,” the private investigator added.
upon hearing that, Gabriella smashed the glass she was holding onto the floor. She could feel a heavy burden hanging over her head to the extent of suffocating her.
“Why! What gives her the right!” Gabriella screamed out her lungs.
“Larry, how is Joan better than me in any way?
Why do you treat her so well and yet be so cruel to me! I can't accept it! I just can't!”
After venting her frustration, Gabriella suppressed her rage and asked the private investigator, “Did Larry's parents say anything?”
Perhaps, his parents might not approve of her.
Gabriella tried to be optimistic. After all, Joan wasn't from a prominent family which was an important consideration for society's elite.
“This, I have no idea.”
