Never Late, Never Away Chapter 771
Vivian had not dared to enter the room then. Although she did not see it for herself, she was convinced that Finnick was cheating on her.
If what Noah said was right, it could explain everything.
“Yes.”
He continued, “She threatened Mrs. Filder and had kidnapped my parents. I had to do as she said.”
As he recalled what he had done, Noah felt terrible. Both Finnick and Vivian had always treated him so kindly.
“She eventually ordered me to tell you that Mr. Norton wanted you to abort the child. I had no choice.”
“The first attempt wasn’t successful. The second time, Mr. Morrison saved you. When Mr. Norton was about to go to the airport to stop you from leaving, Evelyn pretended to fall and break her leg, hindering him.”
As Noah recounted the past events, his voice became increasingly constrained. However, he did not understand what exactly he was afraid of.
For the past five years, his actions had haunted him daily, reminding himself of how he had betrayed Mr. Norton.
His conscience constantly nagged at him and he suffered from insomnia every night.
He could finally come clean about everything today. Although he eventually had to face Finnick’s punishment, Noah felt unusually relaxed as a huge burden of guilt had been lifted off him.
It was unprecedented.
“That was exactly what happened back then. Please punish me for my mistakes.” Noah then bowed in apology.
Since he had betrayed Finnick, it was unlikely that Noah could continue working for him.
“This kick is because you kept things from me.”
“This kick is for you being ungrateful.”
“This kick is for betraying your own morality.”
Noah fell to the ground, enduring his punishment in silence.
