Gabriella had been slightly annoyed when she found out about how Larry headed overseas to look for Joan, but at the same time, she was glad that the man had still thought of her when he returned.
She had no clue what Larry wanted to tell her.
“Can you please stop all your nonsense?” All of a sudden, Larry shot an angry glance at her.
What's he talking about?
Gabriella knitted her brows and looked at him in confusion.
“Have you forgotten all about what you did? Fine. Let me do the honors of reminding you then.” The man took a sip of his coffee before continuing, “Someone kidnapped Joan.”
Oh. So he knew? Gabriella would never admit she had been the mastermind of the incident. He doesn't have any evidence against me anyway.
“What?” She gasped aloud, acting as if she had not been aware of it.
Larry's expression turned grim. Still trying to act innocent, I see. ’’You should know what happened. You were the one who orchestrated the kidnap after all!”
“What are you talking about? What makes you think I knew where she was or what she was doing?” The woman was adamant about continuing to feign ignorance.
It was difficult for Larry to trust in her again; she had a horrible track record with him now.
Besides Gabriella, Larry could not think of anyone who would use such extreme measures
to harm Joan.
“I'm really innocent, Larry.” Gabriella continued to defend herself. “I've been in the country this whole time.”
Larry snorted. Does she think I'm an idiot?
“Stop acting. I know you did everything,” Larry sneered, “You can deny it all you want, but I'm here to warn you not to cross the line. If anything bad happens to Joan again, you better watch it!” He grabbed his coat and stormed out of the cafe.
He's still on her side!
A hard glint flashed through Gabriella's eyes.
Joan, oh, Joan. Did you cast a spell on Larry? Why does he care so much for you?! should have gotten rid of you when I had the chance. I guess I have to wait for another opportunity to arise to finish you off once and for all!
She clenched her fists tightly.
“Hey, what's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood,” Joan took over his briefcase and asked.
