Never Late, Never Away Chapter 202
Doesn’t Finnick always come to your rescue? Given the expression on his face now, it’s obvious that he too feels disgraced. He might have looked past the photo incident, but now that the Finnor Group is involved, can he still bear to tolerate the humiliation you have brought him?
Turning to look at Vivian and Finnick, Benedict smirked to himself. So, it seems that someone else hates them both and is sabotaging them.
Haha, Finnick, let me see how you’re going to protect your newly wedded wife now.
At that moment, all Vivian wanted was for the ground to open up and swallow her whole. However, she knew that getting back the amulet her mother gave her took priority over everything else.
Although it was just an ordinary amulet, it represented all her mother’s hopes and dreams for her.
Her mother had painstakingly brought her up by herself. The reason she got the amulet for Vivian was so that it could keep her safe and healthy. Furthermore, her mother wanted her to find happiness, just like any other girl. Her only wish was for Vivian to grow up happy and without any worries.
When her mother heard a rumor that a particular temple’s amulet was known to be effective, she drove a long way to get it. At that time, Vivian was still in university.
Her mother had made a long and arduous pilgrimage up a huge flight of stairs just to obtain the amulet.
Vivian didn’t know how far her mother had to walk to get it. All she told Vivian was that it was a long journey and that the more sincerity she demonstrated, the more likely her wish would come true. Everything her mother did was so that Vivian would always find happiness…
We came into this world empty-handed. The debt of gratitude we owe our mothers can never be repaid in our lifetimes. That thought alone caused Vivian’s anxiety to intensify. She knew she must get the amulet back. I must not let it be auctioned to someone else!
Meanwhile, the host began to enforce order so as to keep the angry crowd in check.
“Settle down everyone and please be quiet. Quiet, please… For this auction, there are no restrictions on the items that can be donated because everything will be sold. As the proceeds of the auction will be going to charity, it doesn’t matter what the item is, the value of said items will still greatly exceeds their original monetary value. With that, let us begin the auction now!”
As the auction had never put on the block something as cheap as the amulet, everyone was stumped as to how they should start the bid.
