Never Late, Never Away Chapter 724

Evelyn was no longer interested in listening to their conversations so she moved away from thedoor. No wonder Hunter kept running on about how boring and meaningless it was. Those womenwho had thrown themselves at him were just like Vivian at present.

The conversations between Hunter and Vivian were still ongoing in the living room. Hunter couldn'treally shift his gaze away from Vivian who was flushed, which was a rare sight to him.

While speaking, Hunter pointed at the glass on the table and whispered, “Drink a little and justpretend that you have fainted. Then, I'll ask Evelyn to come out.”

Vivian nodded and without a second thought, she took the glass and drank half of the water in it.Looking up, she saw Hunter looking at her but within his eyes, there were some inexplicableemotions that she couldn't make out.

"What is it? Is there any problem?” Vivian asked in bewilderment.

“Nothing. You lie down on the sofa first and I'll get Evelyn,” Hunter shook his head as he answered.In fact, seeing that Vivian followed his instructions and drank the water without even a second ofhesitation, he was very moved all of a sudden. Regardless of whether they could be together in theend, at the very least, Vivian trusted him fully right in that instance. That was all that mattered tohim.

After a while, hearing the knock on the door, Evelyn opened it, looked at Hunter who was standingoutside, and asked in a low voice, “Is everything done?”

“Yes.” Hunter nodded. “She has been rendered unconscious and lying on the sofa now.”

"Are you sure?” Evelyn was still worried.

“Of course.” Hunter nodded again. “I saw her drink it with my own eyes and there was totally noresponse from her even after I've called out to her a few times.”

With a smug on her face, Evelyn wheeled out to the living room and saw that Vivian was really lyingon the sofa. Beside her on the coffee table sat a glass that was half-emptied

"Vivian? Vivian Morrison?” Moving closer to Vivian, Evelyn called out a few times as she was stilledgy and afraid that she wasn't knocked unconscious completely.

She proceeded with pushing Vivian several times and was finally relieved when she saw that therewas truly no response from Vivian.

Sneering, Evelyn looked at the unconscious Vivian and mocked, “Surprised, huh? After five years,you've fallen into my hands once again. You were lucky to escape because Benedict was there torescue you back then. Let me see if Lady Luck is still on your side this time!”

Evelyn reached out to touch Vivian's face and ran her pointed nails along her cheek. Her eyes werefull of jealousy as she sniggered, “I have to say that your face has grown much prettier after fiveyears. No wonder Finnick has been so engrossed with you as soon as he returned to the country.You are the only one left in his eyes and mind.”

Hunter was standing behind and observing Evelyn's motions in agitation. He was frightened by thepossibility of Evelyn hurting Vivian impulsively. After all the time spent together, he realizedeventually that Evelyn was just like a bomb that could go off at any second.

Raising Vivian's chin with her index finger, Evelyn's tone turned brutal out of the blue. “Nonetheless,what use is there even if you've become prettier? Very soon, Finnick would no longer be able to seethis face of yours anymore. But don't you worry. After all, we've known each other for so manyyears. I'll grant you a quick way to die and I won't make you suffer too much. And when you'vefinally disappeared from this world completely, Finnick will notice that there's still me by his side.The one person who would sacrifice everything just for him.”

Pulling her hand back, Evelyn could already visualize the happy and contented life that she wouldhave with Finnick in the future. A gratified smile appeared across her face.

“By then, he would know how much I love him. We'll get married and have kids and we'll live happilywith one another forever and ever. We've grown up together and I'm the only person who knowshim best. Only I deserve to live with him for the rest of our lives. As with you...” Evelyn stopped atthat point in time and a contemptuous expression crept up on her face. Her tone was full of disdain."You're just the daughter of a maid. Which part of you can compare to me and how can you ever beworthy of Finnick? How dare you dream of stealing my man with such a status. Just look at who youare! If it wasn't because of the kidnapping case plotted to help the Morrison family back then, doyou think you stand any chance? Do you think you can hook up with Finnick?”
