Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2461

"Hold on! This is a matter of life and death, so it's not something to be done so hastily!” the butler

shouted at the top of his lungs.

He knew that Keith was of unsound mind on occasion, and that was why he had to stay by his side

at all times. Keith himself was well aware of that, but he retained no awareness once it happened

“Get ahold of yourself, Mr. Owens!" the butler urged anxiously.

However, there wasn't any response from the man. Meanwhile, Joan was stumped at everything that

was transpiring right in front of her eyes.

She had no idea what these people were trying to pull, nor did she have the slightest inkling that

Caiden’s father had a mental disorder.

“Hold on first. Don't do anything reckless,” the butler said to the few young men before him.

After an indeterminate time had passed, Keith finally snapped back to his senses.

"What happened? Why are you all looking at me?” he abruptly demanded in a voice threaded with

displeasure.

"Why are you here, Ms. Watts? And what are the lot of you doing? Let go of her! Who allowed you

to treat her with such disrespect? Hurry up and let her go!” he then barked at the few young men.

At that moment, Joan was entirely stunned. What's with the one-eighty change? Does he think this

is playacting? Her gaze remained locked on the man in front of her as she tried to decipher

something from his face.

The few young men, on the other hand, glanced at each other before they released their hold on

her at long last.

“I'm really sorry about that, Ms. Watts. Please pardon the ordeal you've been through. Mr. Owens is

up in years, so his mind gets fuzzy at times...” the butler hastily rushed over and explained in a

whisper.

He was the only person who knew about Keith's mental instability. In fact, even Caiden and his

mother weren't aware of it.

"Also, please keep this a secret since it concerns the reputation of the Owens family,” the butler

continued

At last, understanding dawned upon Joan, and she suddenly pitied Keith.

“Sure, I got it. Don't worry, for I'll never tell anyone about this,” she avowed.

After her traumatic experience with the unpredictable Keith, she then returned home helplessly.

"What happened?” Delilah asked warily as she studied her.

“Nothing. Everything's fine, Ms. Young. It was just a misunderstanding,” Joan replied at once,

grasping her petite hands.

But I definitely saw that man! Still feeling a tad suspicious, Delilah stared at her in puzzlement.

"Answer me honestly, Joan Watts. Did Caiden Owens’ father threaten you?” she questioned.

“No, Ms. Young. He just invited me for a meal, and that's the honest truth. You can go and ask him if

you don't believe me,” Joan asserted.

Seeing that she was calm and unruffled, Delilah didn’t pursue the matter further.

Ah, it doesn’t matter as long as she’s safe and sound! After exchanging a few words with her, Delilah

then left the house.

Meanwhile, Larry had been investigating the truth of the matter abroad. He couldn't tell Joan the

truth, nor could he reveal the slightest information about him to anyone.

“I really appreciate all that you've done, Mr. Norton,” Malcolm murmured with slight

embarrassment.

“It's nothing, Mr. Lancaster. I believe in you, and I also trust that you'll definitely make a comeback.

Don't worry, for I'll help you to the best of my ability regardless of the results,” Larry declared

resolutely.

That was the so-called friendship between men. Despite the huge age gap between the two of

them, Malcolm never treated Larry like a kid

After all, loyalty had always been a priority for men.

"What's going on with Matthew? He must be wooing those on the board of directors now in a bid

to usurp my position, no?” Malcolm reckoned with narrowed eyes as he took a puff of his cigarette.

"According to the results of my investigation, he has started making his move. However, it seems

that he’s running into some problems, so he's attempting to buy their shares,” Larry replied.

Ah, he’s truly a sly and treacherous man! Malcolm heaved a sigh. Well, as expected of my biological

brother!

“But why is he doing this to you when he’s your biological brother, Mr. Lancaster?” Larry queried as

he looked at the man before him in bafflement.
