Nancy placed her hands on his hips. “Investigate? Does it mean that you have a lead and that you know who did it?”
Nancy was extremely sharp to decipher his words. Jory was naturally not going to lie. “I'm not sure yet. I just called him but he didn't answer.
“Perhaps, you can get through now?” Nancy gave him an encouraging glance. “Why don't you try again?”
After waiting for another thirty-seven second, both of them gave up on calling him. Jory turned off his phone. “When you arrived just now, I was about to head over to see him.”
“The reason I rushed over was because of this too...” Nancy sighed. “Joan and Larry must be devastated to hear the news in the morning. After all, it has been a long time since something like that happened.”
Staring at her anxious expression, Jory asked, “You do care a lot about them, don't you?”
Nancy nodded without hesitation. “Of course, they are my best friends.”
Before Jory could respond, Nancy dragged him into her car. “Come, let's go and find the culprit. We need to question him on what his motives are. I don't believe he has fled just because he isn't answering his phone.”
Jory had wanted to say something to defend Dustin. But, when he grabbed onto her hand, the words that left his mouth were instead, “Let's go in my car. Or perhaps, I'll turn on my GPS and you can just follow me in your car.”
Nancy smiled helplessly. “Does it matter whose car? Come, let's go.”
At Norton Corporation, Larry had learned his lesson from the last time. Instead of going through the front door, he entered via the back door with Joan. Upon reaching his office, he realized that the main entrance had been swarmed with reporters who were waiting for their appearance.
“Luckily, we managed to avoid them.” Joan patted her chest to calm herself down.
