He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and clenched his jaw. This is all Jake's fault. Does he have nothing better to do than bring up the past?
"Have you found her?" Larry sounded very anxious.
"No, but don't worry. Everything will turn out fine," Dustin reassured.
Holding his phone in one hand, a hint of resignation flickered in his eyes. Those photos were made to seem that way. And now, all that distorted truth is in Jake's hands. What a joke! Thud!
Larry rammed his fist onto the steering wheel, a murderous expression took residence on his face.
Both Jory and Nancy sprang into action as well. Unbeknownst to all of them, Joan had already left the country.
On the one hand, it was because she was really angry at Larry, but on the other, she wanted some time to herself so that she could relax completely.
Ring, ring!
Ignoring her ringing phone, Joan stared at the sea in a daze. Following that, her phone pinged with WhatsApp messages.
"Where are you Joan? We're all very worried about you." It was a voice message from Nancy.
"Joan, where have you gone off to? Larry is on the verge of losing his mind." This was one from
Jessica.
"Where the hell are you, Joan?" Dustin's voice message came next.
There were also voice messages from Larry, Jory, Caspian, and many others.
However, Joan didn't feel like listening to anyone's voice. Hence, she simply switched off her phone and walked out with her coat in hand.
The weather is so good. Joan stretched out both arms and closed her eyes, as though she was hugging mother nature itself.
