Never Late, Never Away Chapter 593

At that moment, the phone on Finnick’s desk started ringing.

The receptionist’s voice rang out after he'd impatiently pressed the “answer” button. “Mr. Norton,Mr. Mark Norton is here to see you. Should I send him up?”

“No.” Finnick hung up the call.

Seeing Mark now would only add to his growing headache. One Evelyn was enough to deal with; hedidn't have the energy to deal with Mark as well.

"Evelyn, we...”

Ring...

Finnick, about to clarify to Evelyn exactly what their relationship was, was interrupted by the phoneringing once more.

"What is it now?” Finnick's eyebrows knitted together as he picked up the phone.

“Mr. Mark Norton insists on meeting you, sir. He said that he has something important regardingVivian to tell you.” The receptionist's voice tremored slightly as she passed on the information. Herboss sounded like he was in a bad mood, and she prayed with all her heart that he wouldn't unleashhis anger on her.

Finnick hesitated upon the mention of Vivian's name, curious as to why Mark would want to talk tohim about her.

“Send him up.”

Evelyn's crying had subsided as she listened in on the call, her face falling slightly. She had a badfeeling about this.

What does Mark want to talk to Finnick about?

Soon, Finnick’s assistant led Mark into the office, who felt a slight twinge of guilt when he saw thatEvelyn was here as well

When he had first agreed to help Evelyn kidnap Vivian, they had each harbored separate motivesand reasons for doing so. And Evelyn had indeed kept her promise to him, helping him gaininformation that he used to blackmail the Finnor Group and caused them to suffer a great loss. If heconfessed now, he would be throwing her under the bus.

But he had no choice. If Vivian publicized the documents she had on hand, his career, future, andentire life would be ruined.

"What about Vivian did you want to tell me?” Finnick cut to the chase, not bothering to get up orsay any greetings. He only cared about what Mark had to say.

If this was the old Mark, he would definitely point at Finnick and get all up in his face, screamingabout how he should respect his elders, even though Mark himself was not exactly a perfect rolemodel of a brother that deserved respect.

The present Mark didn’t care about any of that. All he could think about was whether or not heshould confess to his wrongdoings in front of Evelyn,

In the end, he decided to prioritize his own well-being and his own greed, squirming as he openedhis mouth to say, “I... I came today to tell you the truth about Vivian's kidnapping all those yearsago.”

Evelyn's face instantly fell. What the hell does he think he’s doing? He, too, had been involved in herkidnapping back then!

“Let the past stay in the past. What Vivian went through was truly pitiful, and it won't do her anyfavors to bring it up again. Why don't we just pretend that nothing ever happened?”

Afraid that Mark was going to say something out of line, Evelyn interrupted him hurriedly. Her paniconly served to pique Finnick's suspicions.

Back then, Mark had been the one who threatened him with the video clip of Vivian. Everything hadwent Mark's way, and logically, Finnick had thought that Mark would never bring this topic upagain.

Besides that, Evelyn had reacted so strongly at the mention of Vivian's kidnapping incident. Wasthere something she knew that he didn't?

"And what about Vivian's kidnapping?” Finnick focused solely on Mark. His sharp, icy stare madeMark feel as though his younger brother was trying to read his mind.

“Finnick, it's all in the past. Let's stop talking about this.” Evelyn wheeled herself to stop right in frontof Finnick, forcing a smile. “I'm sure Vivian wouldn't want us to discuss this either.”

Finnick ignored her completely, only looking right at Mark. If Mark had come all the way here to sayhis piece, it was unlikely that he would stop halfway.

Mark knew that there was no way back for him anymore. Turning to Evelyn, Mark declared, “Evelynhad plotted with me to kidnap Vivian, and Evelyn was the one who filmed the video clip of Vivian!"
