"I don't even know where she is, so why would I hurt her?" Della rolled her eyes. In fact, this was the main reason why she had come to find Larry.
She was trying to indirectly let him know that she had no idea where Joan was so that he would not blame her if anything were to happen to Joan.
Naturally, she was confident in Abelyn's efficiency and trusted that something huge would happen within the next few days.
"Why are you asking about her?" Larry retorted, narrowing his eyes. "It's not like the two of you are close."
"I'm just asking out of pure concern," she pouted. "I hurt her in the past and still feel sorry about it."
Ah... The lies I tell...Of course I don't feel sorry at all.
They chatted for a while longer before Della left, smirking to herself. Just you wait, Larry. You've got a big storm coming your way.
Ever since Fred returned to the country, Della's movements were restricted. As a result, there were many things that she couldn't do while under surveillance.
"What? You want to delay the plan?" Abelyn complained loudly through the phone. "But I already found out where she lives!"
She was only working together with Della to get revenge on Joan, but Della had an annoying habit of ordering her around without a care in the world.
That was because Della understood Abelyn, and she knew that the man whom Abelyn was in love with, Dustin, also used to be in love with Joan.
"Chill out. Patience is a virtue," Della told her calmly. She didn't want to lose one of her pawns so easily. "We'd better advance carefully. If we get found out, all your dirty deeds will be exposed to the world. You can't say I didn't tell you so."
Abelyn swallowed her anger back, carefully considering Della's words. I guess she does have a point... We can't rush this, or else our carefully laid-out plans might all go to waste.
"Who are you talking to, Abelyn?" Dustin approached her.
Her gaze darting away from him, she quickly hung up the phone. "Oh, just a friend!"
