Ding! Larry's phone pinged.
It was a video sent by Joan.
The video clip clearly showed Gabriella meeting up with the woman, and everything that happened in the hotel.
“This is the truth,” Larry said as he handed over the phone to Caspian.
So, I was drugged that day. I was framed all along.
“Now it's clear that Caspian had been set up by someone. As for what happened between Nancy and Jory, well, I think you guys know more than I do,” Larry said as he looked in Jory's direction.
“What did you say? Caspian was framed?” Nancy
widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at
Joan.
“Yes, given how Caspian is, it's impossible that he would cheat on you. Nancy, Caspian really loves you. Aren't you going to reconsider?” Joan looked at Nancy with a worried look.
She was not worried that Jory might mistreat Nancy, because she knew that the man loved her. However, she just could not bear to see Nancy and Caspian getting divorced.
A family was falling apart just like that. Nobody would have liked to see that happen.
“Joan, there is really no love between me and Caspian, but it's different between me and Jory. We are in love. A marriage without love is just an empty shell, and nobody is going to be happy.” There was a hint of sorrow in Nancy's eyes.
Even though she was disheartened to part ways with Caspian, Nancy knew there was no point keeping up with a marriage that simply didn't work anymore.
“Okay, since you've already thought this through, I'm not going to say anything further. I just hope that you don't regret your decision in the future.” Joan patted Nancy's shoulders and decided to just support and respect her friend's decision in the matter.
Not long after, Caspian and Nancy got a divorce.
The two of them were no longer a couple, but they stayed friends.
Even though Caspian's thing was settled, everything remained a mess in Larry's company, and that left him feeling more and more anxious as days went by. Joan felt her heart ached when she noticed Larry being tense all the time.
