“If I can't have him, no one else can!” She then shoved Joan back onto the sofa, causing her to yelp in pain.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Dustin rushed over and caressed her head gently.
“Oh, my... Look how lovey-dovey you two are... I bet Larry would be so mad if he were to see this!” Della said sarcastically.
“Della, you'd better stop this right now or you might end up in prison!”
Dustin meant well and tried to talk her out of it, but Della refused to listen.
No... Della wasn't like this before! Could it be that someone brainwashed her into doing this?
With that in mind, Joan stood up all of ₐ sudden, much to Della's surprise.
“What are you doing?” Della asked.
“Della, I know you're a kind person at heart. You're only doing all this because someone instructed you to, right?”
As expected of Larry's woman... Della stared at Joan expectantly, hoping to hear who she suspected was the mastermind behind everything.
“Is it Jake?”
He was the only person Joan could think of at the moment, and she wasn't even sure about her guess at all.
However, Della froze upon hearing that name, and Joan noticed that reaction of hers.
So it really is him! The look on Joan's face was instantly shrouded with an icy-cold aura.
