Never Late, Never Away Chapter 264
However, he didn’t spare much time to ponder over it. Since Finnick had asked the men to stop, Fabian took the chance to untie Ashley and helped her and Emma up from the floor.
“Fabian!” Ashley rushed into Fabian’s arms and cried uncontrollably, thinking that she was safe now.
Emma couldn’t help but sob as well. Her life had flashed before her eyes when she was almost drugged earlier. The humiliation would be too much for her to bear if everyone knew that she was drugged and raped at such an old age. If that happens, Harvey might even abandon me and drive me out of the Miller family!
At the same time, Vivian was startled by the sudden turn of events. What’s going on? Why did Finnick suddenly change his mind? Did something happen? Or could it be that he didn’t have the heart to do it?
As Finnick looked stone-faced, no one could ascertain his emotions. After a while, he glanced at Vivian and said in a low and seemingly apologetic voice, “I’m sorry. I’m afraid that I can’t punish Ashley anymore.”
Is Finnick saying that he’ll let Ashley and Emma off the hook?
Vivian was rather confused. Why did Finnick look completely different right after Noah answered a phone call?
On the other hand, Finnick also noticed the changes on Vivian’s face. Despite that, he really couldn’t torture Ashley anymore.
He held her hand gently and added, “Vivian, I’ll explain to you later.”
When Noah told Finnick the news earlier, Finnick couldn’t believe his ears. He never expected that it was actually her.
Turning towards Noah, Finnick instructed him, “Let them go. You’ll stay here to take care of Mrs. Norton, send her home, and come meet me after.”
The moment Fabian heard Finnick’s words, he immediately brought Ashley and Emma to leave the place.
Finnick also left the room hurriedly.
It was rather cold in the storage room. However, Vivian felt that the temperature seemed to drop sharply the moment Finnick left with Ashley and the rest.
She couldn’t believe that Finnick abandoned her and left with Ashley.
Just as she was lost in thought, Noah came over and said to Vivian, “Let’s go, Mrs. Norton. I’ll send you home.”
