Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2365
âA friend of mine,â Joan answered softly.
Seeing that Nancy and her child were safe and sound was more than enough to make her happy.
The corner of Joan's mouth curved into a content smile,
It's alright. Everything will turn out fine! She glanced down at her arm and smiled
âJoan, I heard that Larry is back in the country,â Abigail stated abruptly.
Huh? Joan turned around and stared at the girl in front of her earnestly, a sliver of hope glimmered
in her eyes.
"What? I donât know the details. You could just call him and find out.â Abigail said tentatively.
No! Joan looked away as a sign of refusal. Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
"Hey, look. It's Larry!â the girl exclaimed excitedly. After so long, the two of them can finally speak
on the phone.
Joan picked up the call in no time. She tried her best to remain calm. âWhat is it?"
âSo, what are your thoughts exactly? Do you plan to continue recovering there? Or come back-"
âI won't go back.â Before Larry could finish speaking, Joan cut him off.
"Alright, then I'll head over to you after I've settled matters at the company.â With that, Larry hung
up the call.
Joan parted her lips to protest, but the line had already gone dead.
"What's wrong? What did Larry say?â asked Abigail.
âNothing much.â Joan put her phone aside. Even though she intended to reject Larry's offer earlier,
she couldn't deny that she was actually looking forward to him coming over.
Abigail suddenly giggled and teased, âAre you shy, Joan? You're blushing. Larry is coming to see
you, isn't he?â
Apart from Larry, Abigail couldn't think of anyone else who could put this look on Joan's face.
As time went by, more and more shareholders expressed their disapproval of Dustin's management
style in Norton Corporation.
Norton Corporation's performance had declined recently, inevitably causing many of them to lose
sleep over the companyâs future development.
âMr. Silverman, we can't let the company go bankrupt! We have to come up with solutions to solve
the problems at hand!" a shareholder bellowed.
âThat's right. The company has constantly been suffering losses. At this rate, we'll be scraping for
food in no time!â
"He's right, Mr. Silverman. You're the president. You need to think of a way to get out of this
situation.â
In the meeting room, anxiety and trepidation were sprawled across all of the shareholdersâ faces. On
the contrary, Dustin wore an impassive look on his face. He didn't seem to care about the
company's precarious situation because his goal was to demolish Norton Corporation all along!
âWhat's the rush? It's not time yet,â Dustin drawled while sipping on his coffee.
âThen, when exactly is the right time? Mr. Silverman, we have all gone through perilous situations in
the business world. We see certain things more clearly. If you don't take action now, the company
will face an even bigger crisis in the future.â
âAs I have said, it's not time yet. How many times do I have to repeat myself? That's enough. The
meeting ends here!â Having said that, he got up to leave.
These old foxes! When I first joined Norton Corporation, they were tripping over themselves trying
to lick my boots. Now that the company is in trouble, they're pushing all the responsibility to me.
No wonder they managed to thrive in the industry!
Suddenly, one of the shareholders piped up, âMr. Silverman, if you can't resolve this, we'll get Mr.
Norton to come back. He'll definitely solve all these problems.â
The last thing Dustin wanted to hear was Larry's name. Right then, his nostrils flared as anger surged
in him.
Damn it. That man again!
âYou'd do well to remember that I'm the president of Norton Corporation now. As the largest
shareholder here, my word is the law!â Dustin's roar reverberated through the room.
I don't believe that the company can't continue running without Larry Norton!
âBut right now, the problem is that you haven't resolved Norton Corporation's crisis!â another
shareholder pointed out.
