Never Late, Never Away Chapter 123

Therefore, she decided to try her luck by asking Jenny, the long-serving journalist. “I...” Viviansteeled herself and replied, “I am just asking out of curiosity.”

“If you're asking just to satisfy your curiosity, I advise that you better not pursue this matter anyfurther.” Jenny put on a stern face as she continued, “It is not our place to inquire into the Nortonfamily’s affair.” With that, she resumed her work at hand.

Jenny's unduly reticent attitude only further aroused Vivian's curiosity. I believe Jenny must knowsomething...

“Jenny.” She pulled a chair to sit next to her. “I couldn't tell you the reason, but I really need to knowabout the incident.”

At that moment, Vivian and Jenny were the only ones left in the office as the other workers hadgone for lunch.

Jenny lifted her head and cast a meaningful glance at Vivian before she spoke, “Vivian, I can tell youabout it, but you need to be frank with me. Are you asking this because of your husband?”

Vivian was taken aback by her words. “Jenny, you actually know about...”

"Yes, I knew about it quite some time ago.” Jenny let out a sigh. “Your husband is Finnick Norton, amI right? He is the second son of the Norton family, and the victim of the kidnap incident.”

Vivian's eyes widened. She had always tried to stay low-key, but Jenny still managed to discover herhusband's identity and his relationship with the Norton family.

Although Vivian remained silent, her reaction made Jenny certain of her conjecture. “Are yousurprised that I actually know about your husband's background?” Jenny gave a resigned shrug andthen explained, “Actually, I already knew that Finnick comes from the Norton family when I firstinterviewed him. I became suspicious that he was your husband when I saw your wedding ring, sothat's why I tested you just now.”

Being deeply impressed by Jenny's intuition and attention to detail, Vivian couldn't help but look ather with admiration. It would take at least ten years of working experience in the press to acquirethose qualities.

Since Jenny already had it all figured out, there was no need for Vivian to hide from her. After all,there was nothing for her to hide in the first place. It was just that she disliked being the center ofgossips, that was why she never mentioned her marriage with Finnick.

"Yes, Jenny, you've guessed it right.” She lowered her voice and asked, “So now, can you tell mewhat happened ten years ago?”

Vivian thought Jenny would turn her down again, but to her surprise, she seemed to have gottenthrough to the other woman when Jenny looked deeply into her eyes and said, “Vivian, I alwaysknow that you're a nice lady. Even though rumors are circulating in the magazine company sayingthat you are a gold-digger, I will only believe in my own judgment.”

Vivian's eyes reddened. “Thank you, Jenny.” Since two years ago, she had been facing all sorts ofmisunderstandings and derision from her colleagues. Soon, she no longer bothered to dispel thoserumors because no one would believe in her. She was touched when Jenny said she trusted her.

“I was shocked when I first heard that you were going to marry Finnick.” Jenny gave her asympathetic look. “I admit that he is an excellent man, but from what he did two years ago, I don'tthink he is husband material.”

Vivian's expression changed. “Jenny, what do you know?”

Jenny let out a sigh. “You sure are lucky because you've asked the right person. I was still working inthe press when that incident happened, and I was responsible for reporting the case. At that time, Ihad dug deep into the case, but I was threatened by the Norton family to not leak any informationabout it. I knew how powerful the Norton family is, that's why I stayed tight-lipped all these years.”Vivian finally understood why Jenny knew that Finnick came from the Norton family. If Jenny hadinvestigated the kidnap case, she would definitely know about Finnick’s name and how he looked.However, Vivian felt unsettled by Jenny's tone. “So what happened at that time?”
