Never Late, Never Away Chapter 257

Finnick paused for what seemed like ages. It took him a while to quell the fire within him and collect his thoughts. He then turned to Shifty Eye, “Now, go turn yourself in! For your role in an unlawful transaction.”

“What…” The man had no desire to go to prison.

Finnick said, “Don’t worry. You will be well rewarded so long as you do as you are told. Savvy?”

“Yes! Got it!” The look in Finnick’s eyes told him that he was not going to take no for an answer.

Noah then took Shifty Eye away to the police.

Finnick eyed him coldly as they made their exit.

Under any other circumstances, he would have definitely not let anyone who hurt Vivian off. But he needed a way to vindicate her and stave off all the negative publicity she had been receiving.

Shifty Eye should thank his lucky stars to be able to get away with his skin intact.

With that in mind, Finnick dialed a number. “I have a job for you.”

The next day at the Miller residence.

Ashley was still immersed in the bliss of dreaming about her future life together with Fabian when she was rudely awakened. The sight of Emma greeted her when she opened her eyes.

Emma’s expression was a mixture of fear, anxiety, and accusation.

“It’s still early, Mom. What’s this about?” Ashley asked as she rubbed her groggy eyes.

Emma was on edge. “We have a problem, Ashley. Go take a look at the news!”

What about the news? An earthquake elsewhere? A presidential scandal? Or an oil field going up in flames? Surely there’s no need to wake me up so urgently like this and disrupt my beautiful dream! She was still enjoying the warmth that emanated from Fabian’s body as they were making out in her head.

“Come on, girl! Get up! You’re in the headlines!”
