Chapter 2701 Not Welcome Here
Matthew said that decisively and did not seem to leave any room for further negotiation.
Larry merely listened quietly at the side. Indeed, everything happened just as he expected.
“Mr. Matthew, would you reconsider your decision?” Larry asked, still harboring a glimmer of hope.
“What’s there to consider? There’s nothing for me to consider. My decision is final!” Matthew dismissed Larry’s question mercilessly with a wave of his hand.
Has our society become that realistic? Perhaps, that is the way the world works now!
Larry did not wish to continue the conversation anymore and turned around.
That had been his worry all along. He just did not expect that it would happen so soon!
Larry was drained of energy after the trip and he suddenly thought of quitting. He was simply too exhausted but he could not bear to give it all up.
Norton Corporation was already facing a serious obstacle, hindering the company’s development. If Larry could not think of a solution fast enough, he knew that the company might go bankrupt!
The man sat on the sofa in his office and gazed at the ceiling in a daze with a glint of resentment in his eyes.
It had never occurred to him that such a fate would befall him!
“Larry, what else is there for you to consider?” Della asked in a threatening manner as she strode into Larry’s office.
“I can guarantee that your company will get back on track if you marry me,” Della said confidently.
Of course, Larry didn’t have a single doubt regarding what she said. However, he was not willing to give in to her and at the same time, let Joan down.
“Just go. I don’t want to see you,” Larry answered weakly.
His words infuriated Della. No longer able to control her anger, she yelled, “Larry, do you really want to cause the downfall of Norton Corporation?”
The woman just could not understand why the man had turned her down time and again. What could be more important than the survival of his company?
Love? As compared to self-interest and the reality of life, is love, that is just an illusion, really more important?
“Larry, just a word of advice, you should come to your senses and recognize that nothing is more important than advancing your self-interest,” Della dusted her hands and walked to the window while waiting for Larry’s reply.
“What about you? Are you only marrying me because of personal gain?” Larry asked curtly while he turned around and looked at the woman.
No, it’s not because of personal gain that I fall for you!
“Of course not, I truly love you!” Della immediately ran towards Larry and explained to him anxiously.
Is that how she loves someone? Continuously devising means to sabotage me and put me in difficult situations. Is this love? That’s pathetic!
“I’m afraid your love is out of my league. I don’t think I can afford it,” Larry replied and got up, intending to leave his office.
“Larry!” Della suddenly yelled from behind him.
“Are you really prepared to give up your company?” Della sized the man up with a serious expression, as she was just unable to figure out what he was thinking.
“That’s none of your business.”
After hearing Larry’s reply, Della’s heart sank.
She suddenly realized that all along, Larry had only seen her as a business partner and nothing more.
“Ms. Duff!” Caspian shouted as he suddenly barged into the office.
“You may leave now. You’re not welcome at Norton Corporation,” Caspian said, without caring to be polite.
In the past, Caspian used to have a lot of respect for that woman. However, all that was left was disgust.
Even if she managed to get Larry to marry her using unscrupulous methods, there was no doubt that they would not be happy. However, Della was still insistent on doing that, just like a moth drawn to a flame.
“Caspian, you… “ Della was at a loss for words as she looked at the man in front of her.
“I work for the Norton Corporation, naturally, I’ll be on Larry’s side,” Caspian added.
Caspian would not hesitate to fall out with anyone if it concerned Larry’s interests. He was very certain of that.
“Why are you still standing there, Ms. Duff? Are you expecting me to carry you out?” Caspian raised his voice as he said that.
As if feeling threatened by Caspian’s intimidating vibe, Della took a few steps back subconsciously and had a fearful expression on her face.
“Ms. Duff!” Just when Della turned around and was about to leave Larry’s office, Caspian suddenly called out to her.
