Chapter 2973

Gabriella dropped her head and replied diffidently.She truly desired to start an eatery with Joan, yet the latter seemed to have a different idea in mind.

Meanwhile, Nancy caressed her chin and lost herself in thought.

Should I invest in the eatery they're talking about? If that's the case, I get to enjoy the delicacies Joan prepares at no additional cost, right? Gabriella rushed over and wrapped her arm around the chuckling Nancy.

Curious, she asked, "Care to share whatever you're up to again?"

"H-Huh? O-Oh! I was just wondering if you guys need another partner? I'm keen to invest as well!" "Sure! I mean, why not? Let's start an eatery and enjoy all sorts of delicacies together!"

Nancy responded with a smirk because they seemed to have the same idea in mind—they wanted to enjoy delicacies prepared by Joan for free.

"Let's head over and meet Joan in person!"

Once she made up her mind, she dragged Gabriella with her and headed the other way.

They seemed to have moved on from the grudges they once held against one another as they had one thing in common-—they were foodies.

Marching into the villa, Nancy raised her volume and asked, "Joan, are you going to start an eatery with Gabriella?"

As Nancy started surveying the villa, she wondered if something was wrong because Joan had left the door untended.

"Joan?"

In spite of another attempt to reach Joan, her effort was to no avail because she did not receive any response.

All of a sudden, the duo's minds were all over the place.

Gabriella, who was next to Nancy, whispered, "Nancy, has something bad happened to Joan?" "Shut up! Joan is fine! What can possibly happen to her?"

Once she finished her rhetorical question, she sprinted to Joan's room upstairs.

They searched high and low, including the kitchen, the washroom, the yard, and the living room. Unfortunately, Joan was nowhere to be seen.

Nancy couldn't stay calm anymore, so she reached for her phone and made a call.

When the call got through, she asked with a quivering voice, "J-Jory, what should I do? Joan is missing!"

Jory, who was on the other end, sprang up from the couch with a darkened expression.

Although he had always deemed Larry and Joan's issues a pain in the ass, he would not hesitate to offer his help whenever they were in trouble.

"Nancy, can you calm down? Why don't you tell me your current location? I'll head over immediately and see if there's anything we can do about it."

Once he delivered his instruction, he headed out after retrieving his jacket.

Soon, he reached the villa and pulled over in front of the entrance.

As Jory catapulted into the villa, he yelled, "What's going on? Where's Joan? Where has she gone?” Weeping, Nancy explained, "We were here quite some time ago.

However, Joan disappeared once we made our way back after leaving for a short while"

Gabriella? Why is she here? Since when did she return? Gabriella would never drop by Joan's place unless she's up to no good.

Is she here to cause trouble because she knows that Larry is currently away? Jory started emanating an intimidating aura after sizing up the woman next to Nancy with a skeptical look.

He felt that Joan's disappearance had something to do with Gabriella because of the malicious things she had done in the past.

On top of that, it seemed suspicious that she showed up here after Joan disappeared.

Striding his way to Gabriella's side, he asked in a callous tone, "Why are you here? Since when did Joan disappear? Are you the one behind this?"

Huh? Are they implying that I'm the one who caused Joan's disappearance? Gabriella's face puckered in irritation.

Do I look like 1 would do such a thing? Nancy rushed over to the man’s side and whispered, "It's not Gabriella’s fault.

She only just found out that Joan is missing.

Besides, she has lost her memories”

Seriously? Why does this series of incidents seem like a part of a bigger scheme? Is she playing pretend in front of us again? I know her too well—she's willing to do anything to achieve her goats! However, Jory was wrong as Gabriella had lost her memories for real
