Never Late, Never Away Chapter 122
Fabian’s face turned pale as he looked at her face that was purple with rage. He never expected Vivian, who was an apathetic person, to take up the cudgel on Finnick’s behalf by making such caustic remarks.
Is she mad because I insulted Finnick? Seems like it’s not just a paper marriage between them, and she genuinely regards Finnick as her husband.
Fabian felt suffocated at the mere thought of it. The next moment, he gripped her arms with greater force and bellowed, “Vivian William! Don’t tell me that you have fallen in love with Finnick? Are you an idiot? You don’t know that man at all!”
Vivian couldn’t even say a word. Her face was twisted with pain, but Fabian took no notice of it as he continued to spat out, “Finnick is nothing but a heartless man. Do you know that he left his girlfriend to die ten years ago in order to save his own life? I couldn’t believe that you would have eyes for such a selfish prick!”
Vivian, who was struggling to break from his grasp, was thunderstruck upon hearing his words. Her face was pale as she blurted out, “You’re lying! Don’t you try to throw mud at Finnick!”
Seeing her defending Finnick further roused his anger. Overwhelmed with fury, Fabian totally forgot that the incident from ten years ago was a taboo topic. “If you don’t believe in me, you can always look into the kidnap incident ten years ago. You will find out how Finnick managed to escape from the hands of the kidnappers and how Evelyn Morrison, his girlfriend, died because of him.”
The last bit of color left Vivian’s face. She was at a loss for words as this revelation was too much for her to handle. Evelyn… Is she the owner of the crystal necklace? She’s dead?! And she died in the kidnap incident ten years ago?
Fabian loosened his grip on her arm. A hint of remorse flashed across his face the moment he regained composure.
The Norton family had imposed an information blackout on the news relating to the kidnap incident. It was a tacit understanding between the Nortons to never bring it up again. But now, he spilled the beans because of his jealousy.
Vivian doesn’t know Finnick at all… I am only telling her these so that she knows Finnick’s true colors!
