Never Late, Never Away Chapter 500
After signing the divorce agreement, Finnick handed it over to Noah without taking another look atit. “Send it to Benedict as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Noah reluctantly accepted the divorce agreement. He was chagrined of the fact that he hadfailed to persuade him in the end.
“Help me look after Evelyn for a while. I'm going out to get some fresh air,” instructed Finnick.Finnick was very conflicted; he didn’t know how he should face Evelyn after this. What he neededwas some space and time to figure out his next move.
“Okay,” replied Noah.
Finnick turned around and headed toward the exit of the hospital. The feeling of lonelinesssurrounded him as he walked out of the hospital.
Glaring at the back of Finnick, Noah let out a sigh before diverting his gaze to the divorceagreement in his hand. Is it really over for Mr. and Mrs. Norton?
Noah gritted his teeth in anger as he thought about the perpetrator behind all of this. He walkedinto Evelyn's ward with the crumpled file in his hand.
In the meantime, Evelyn was sitting nonchalantly on her bed, with a smug expression on her face.For a person who had just lost the ability to walk, she seemed rather delighted.
As Noah entered the ward, Evelyn arrogantly gave out an order to him, “I'm craving for someapples. Help me peel one.”
However, Noah just stood there and stared vacuously at her.
Miffed, Evelyn frowned after seeing Noah's response. “What's wrong? I'll soon be the madampresident of the Finnor Group. Do I not have the authority to order you around?”
“What? You're going to marry Mr. Norton?” Noah was shocked after hearing Evelyn's words. Notonly did Mr. Norton promised to divorce Vivian, but he also promised to marry Evelyn?
Looking at Noah's reaction, Evelyn was getting haughtier as she uttered, “Yes, but this was allpossible because of you. Thank you so much for your help. Without you, It wouldn't have been thissuccessful.”
Livid, Noah was clenching his fists. He could only endure her provocation as it was indisputable thathe had indeed “helped” her in this matter all along.
Noah was getting so furious to the point where his face turned bright red. “You deliberately felldown the stairs, right?” Noah impugned the truth behind her accident.
"Ah, so you've seen through it.” Evelyn seemed unperturbed even after being exposed by Noah."Yes, I did it intentionally.”
Although Noah had speculated as much, he was still surprised upon hearing her admitting it inperson. “You're crazy! You might have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Do youunderstand what you've gotten yourself into?”
Noah was by no means worried about Evelyn. He just couldn't comprehend how crazy and terrifyingthis woman could be. She was willing to go as far as hurting herself just to achieve her goal! Not tomention that the injury she had to sustain wasn't just a scratch that would heal by itself after a fewdays.
"Of course, I do!” Evelyn was also infuriated by Noah's words. Having lost both her legs, it wasimpossible for her to realize the quagmire that she had gotten herself into. “If it meant that I couldbe with Finnick forever, losing a pair of legs is a small price to pay. I'll deign to do anything just tobe with him!” Evelyn was getting riled up.
“You are really crazy.” Noah took a step back away from Evelyn as he was frightened by her fieryeyes. “Is there nothing that you're afraid of in this world?” Noah murmured in an incredulous tone.Although his voice was very low, Evelyn was still able to hear his response. “At least you know now.That being said, you'd better take what we've discussed here to the grave. If Finnick somehow gotword about this, I'll expose what you did to Vivian to the public. Also, don't forget that your parents’lives are still in my hands!"
Glaring at the minatory look on her face as she was threatening him, the aversion Noah had for hergrew even more. He felt that Evelyn was like a stain on his body that he couldn't wash off no matterhow hard he tried. He was very disgusted with that thought.
“Evelyn, the one that Mr. Norton loves is Vivian. He would never fall for an abhorrent woman likeyou. All your petty schemes will fail you in the end!”
Hearing the name Vivian being mentioned, Evelyn was furious. “Vivian is worthless to Finnick. I'mbetter than her in every aspect! Finnick would never like an ugly woman like her!”
