Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2635

A Close Call

“Jake, I know that you hate me. You can take out your anger on me, but please don’t extend your hatred to those who are around me,” Joan pleaded shakily.

She must be referring to the collapsed deals with Norton Corporation. Jake got up and walked toward her. He kept a poker face on the whole time.

“Why? Do you feel guilty?” he goaded.

“I know you’re not a bad person. I believe you truly loved Faye as well, but please trust me that the car accident was nothing but a horrid tragedy,” Joan explained, though she knew nothing she said could change Jake’s belief that she was Faye’s murderer.

“Joan, don’t think I’ll fall for your pitiful act!” He scorned.

I guess that’s that, then. Joan got up slowly to leave.

“You’re just going to give up like that? I guess your love for Larry was a lot weaker than I thought!” Jake made a show of clapping as he mocked Joan’s retreat.

Well, what else can I do? Allow him to humiliate me further after I’ve already gone on my knees and begged him to spare Norton Corporation?

“Sorry for disturbing you.”
