"Joan, we have to stay awake," Abelyn reminded.
Huh? Joan lifted her head with a weird look on her face. "But I'm tired. Let me sleep for awhile," she answered groggily.
"No, don't! Joan, wake up!"
Who knows what Della would do to them while they were asleep. Abelyn thought.
It did not take long before Joan fell asleep.
Bang- Larry burst into Della's office.
Della was mentally prepared and anticipated that this would happen as soon as she saw Larry's displeased expression. I can't believe you'd do anything for Joan!
"Della, be honest with me, did you kidnap Joan?" Larry asked coldly.
What does he want to do? Hit me? Della turned to face the window and cleared her throat before facing Larry.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If you're here because of Joan, please leave immediately." She gestured at the door. She refused to discuss with him any matters that involved Joan.
Anger rose within Larry's heart as he glanced at the woman's cold expression.
Jake and Della were most likely to kidnap Joan and both of them had ill intentions towards Joan.
Hence, he had no choice but to watch their every move and confront them.
"Della, if you let Joan go, then I'll forget what you did in the past," Larry reminded.
