Chapter 2980

Why does she get all the attention from everyone whenever something trivial happens to her? She doesn't deserve it! Abelyn concealed her frustration and murmured, "She's not going to regain consciousness anytime soon, is she?"

"If you're exhausted, why don't you head back first?"

Jessica remarked sarcastically as she had had enough of Abelyn's pretentious behavior.

Abelyn immediately explained herself, "Jessica, what do you mean? Joan is my good friend as well!" Are you really telling me that you consider Joan your good friend? Why does it feel like you're the next in line to sabotage her? Jessica scowled at the pretentious woman.

"Argh...

Suddenly, Joan's face scrunched up in pain before she opened her eyes.

Larry held her hand and asked, "Joan, are you feeling better now?"

When Joan saw that Larry was right next to him, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Knowing what she had gone through, her friends looked at her with sympathy.

Poor girl! She got abducted again and again! Yet, she has never complained about her misfortunes. Jessica heaved a long sigh, feeling bad for Joan

Slouching against the man’s chest, she exclaimed, "You're finally back!"

"You don't have to be afraid anymore.I'll always be here for you!"

A few days later, Joan was discharged from the hospital.

When Della found out that Joan was still alive, she felt a sense of relief.Her assistant asked her out of curiosity, "Miss, why did you change your mind at the last minute?"

Della was looking out the French windows with a darkened expression

Thank God Joan is fine! Otherwise, I'm going to have a hard time explaining myself! Previously, she could have taken Joan out with ease, but she found out that she was indebted to Larry and felt obliged to reciprocate his kindness

In the future, Larry would take over the company on her behalf until she was ready to assume the role as the company's successor.

Her assistant asked, "Ms.Duff?"

Della instructed in a flat tone, "Huh? Oh! I want everyone to refrain from trying anything silly from now onwards.Let's uphold our respective duties and stay away from Larry and Joan"

Her assistants eyes widened in disbelief.

What the heck? Am I hearing things or what? She had gone to great lengths just to take Joan out, yet she's now instructing us to stay away from her! Does that mean she's giving up on Larry? Since her assistant went dead silent, Della turned around and repeated her instructions with a determined look, "Have you heard me? I want you to stop making decisions on my behalf and stay away from Joan."

"Yes!"

Her assistant walked out of the office after taking note of her instructions.

All this while, Della had refrained from visiting Joan in the hospital, but since the latter had been discharged, she thought it was about time to pay her a visit.

After she touched up on her look and retrieved her phone, she walked out of her office.

Knock! Knock! Larry and Joan were making out on the couch when the knocking interrupted their session.

Joan's face flushed as she offered, "I'll go answer the door!"

"Wait! Stay right here I'll get it!"

He pulled her back to the couch and got up from his seat.

Once he opened the door, he asked in a callous tone, "Why are you here?"

What is she up to again? His irritation was written all over his face as he started sizing her up while keeping his guard up.

"I-I have dropped by to visit Joan.I heard that she was discharged a few days ago.”

Della handed over the basket of fruits she brought along to Larry.
