"I'm flattered, but there's nothing for us to talk about. I think you should go." Jake then added, "Oh, one more thing. I should remind you that I'm working on acquiring your company. Just in case you forgot." He then turned around and headed upstairs.
Larry shot a sullen glare at Jake and was about to go after him.
However, Caspian held him back. "Come on, let's go, Larry."
How dare he! A vortex of anger swirled inside Larry. On the other hand, Caspian was relieved that Jake did not give Larry a chance to speak.
"Let me go!" Larry pushed Caspian away in frustration. Perhaps he was mad at the latter for not taking his order.
"Are you mad? How could you confront Jake? He'll definitely admit that he's now with Joan," Jessica, who had just arrived, walked up to him and gave him a stern look. "I told you not to rush it. Why can't you listen?"
Yet, Larry felt he did nothing wrong. He had always been a steady and righteous man who would not scheme against others.
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that the two men were unhurt during the verbal exchange. She stood up and went deep in thought for a moment. "Please don't act harshly without us, Larry. Let's solve this problem together, okay?" She was not pleased with how impulsive he was.
Larry looked at the woman and gave her a confused look. Why do these people keep stopping me? I'm just trying to find my wife!
Since Abelyn had told Jessica about Joan, Dustin was ready to work with them to take Jake down. But Jake seemed to have put his guard up.
"Do you feel bored staying home?" Jake massaged Joan's shoulders and asked.
Yeah, I'm actually quite bored. Joan nodded as she had not stepped out of the house for quite some time now.
"How about I send you overseas so that you can have some fun?" Jake proposed.
That was good news to Joan. She could not wait to get out of here to take a breather.
