Never Late, Never Away Chapter 87
Compared with the peaceful silence in Vivian’s room, the atmosphere on the other side of the Norton family’s old mansion was much palpably tense.
Fabian walked into the room with a grim look. Ashley, who had already changed into her nightgown, went up to him in a hurry and hugged his arm. “Fabian, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time after taking my shower.”
She was clad specially in her silk lacy gown. Under the dim light, she appeared to be even more sensually seductive as she brushed her chest against his arm constantly.
Even with a beauty in his arms, Fabian stood there stoically unmoving as he stared at her gloomily, “Ashley, do you have anything you want to explain to me?”
Blinking with feigned innocence, she was perturbed by his straightforwardness. “Explain what? What’s up with you, Fabian?”
“Those photos today.” Seeing her pretending not to know what he was referring to, Fabian began to lose his patience. “Who allowed you to release those compromising photos of Vivian?”
Ashley turned pale immediately.
Does he know that I’m the culprit?
“Fabian… You… Perhaps you have misunderstood something?” She started to panic as she blabbered, “I don’t know how those indecent photos of my sister suddenly come about, but you must believe…”
“Ashley Miler! How dare you! Still pretending at a time like this?” Cutting her off, Fabian could feel nothing but annoyance at the person currently in front of him. As his anger burned, he shoved her away and revealed, “Great Grandpa has already found out the truth! What do you think Great Grandpa would think about me after causing such a fiasco?”
What?
Even elder Mr. Norton knows?
Ashley’s expression turned deathly pale.
She did not anticipate that in her fervor to frame Vivian, she had instead shot herself in the foot.
Gazing at Fabian in front of her, she knew then that he was her only bargaining chip. Her eyes quickly reddened as she pitifully tugged at his sleeves. “Fabian, I’m sorry. I truly am. I’ve been blinded by my own emotions, which led me to commit such an act. You won’t leave me because of this, will you?”
