“Ms. Watts, will you accept our interview?”
The reporters somehow knew she was inside and kept insisting on questioning her.
“Ms. Watts, do you have any comment about Mr. Norton and Ms. Ward's marriage problems?”
“Someone alleged that you came in between their relationship, can you tell us if that's true?”
Joan stood behind the door, covering her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks.
She could hear everything being said outside clearly. Face with the damaging accusations, she couldn't think of a single reason to defend herself with.
Unfortunately, Larry had no idea what was going on. When Joan sent him a message telling him that she wasn't coming home the night before, he didn't think too much of it.
At that moment, he was busy working at Norton Corporation.
Ring... Ring... His private line suddenly rang.
When he saw that it was his father calling, Larry quickly answered.
“Dad, why are you calling me so early in the morning?” Larry asked.
“Why? Where are you now?”
The voice over the line sounded exasperated.
“I'm at the office, working. What happened?” Larry asked when he senses the concern in his dad's voice.
“Something has happened to Joan and yet you don't know a thing? How irresponsible can you get?” Finnick barked in rage.
“What? Joan is in trouble?”
Larry sprang to his feet as his tone darkened.
“Turn on the television and see for yourself,” Finnick replied.
“Also, what is this about Gabriella? I'm warning you, Larry, you'd better clean up your mess and not hurt Joan's feelings!”
Doo... Doo.... Doo...
The call ended abruptly. It was obvious that Finnick thought Larry was somehow involved with Gabriella. Therefore, he was furious at his son's actions.
