Never Late, Never Away Chapter 758

“Move away! I've got something urgent to deal with. I don’t have the time to talk to you,” Vivianshoved Finnick aside and continued sprinting on her way. Finnick, however, caught up with her in afew long strides. He clutched her arm with an iron grip.

“Let go of me! What are you doing? I have to get to the bank now. Stop wasting my time!” Vivianhowled, flinging Finnick’s hand aside with all her might.

From Vivian's inconsolable state, Finnick guessed that she indeed had rather dire matters at hand.But what exactly is going on? Why can't she tell me?

Unable to get anything else out of her, Finnick decided not to press Vivian any further. Heimmediately pulled Vivian over to his car, commanding, “Get on, I'll send you to the bank rightnow.”

With her heart set on getting to the bank within the shortest possible time, Vivian thought thisoption rather ideal. Besides, it removed the obstacle that was Finnick. She immediately wrenchedthe door open.

“Vivian!” A yell came from Benedict, who had finally caught up with them. He was extremelydiscomfited by the thought of Vivian heading off to that deserted place all alone to save Larry.Benedict glanced at Finnick. He knew that Vivian was intent on hiding Larry's identity from Finnick.Benedict thus chose his next words with extreme delicacy. “Why don't you come with me? I'll followyou in secret. If anything happens, I'll still be in time to save you. You can't go alone,” Benedictoffered.

At Benedict's speech, Finnick felt a growing sense of disquiet. He turned towards Vivian and askedfrantically, “What in the world’s going on? What are you going to do alone? Why would it bedangerous?”

Disregarding Finnick completely, Vivian replied Benedict in earnest, “Ben, we can't risk it. It would bebest if you didn't follow me. I'm afraid that they really will..."

Vivian deliberately paused, omitting the crucial facts of the matter. Her mind raced. She had toguarantee Larry's safety no matter what. Vivian suggested, “Ben, why don’t you do a covertinvestigation into this matter? See if you can replace out more about this guy's background. We'll keepin contact at all times, and if there's any real danger, I'll immediately call you to let you know where Iam."

Benedict carefully considered Vivian's proposal, then nodded. “Fine. Promise me that if there's justthe tiniest thing amiss, you'll call me immediately.”

"OK," Vivian, too, nodded in return. She was just about to enter the car when another shout rangout from behind them.

"Mr. Norton!"

The three of them turned in tandem to see Noah scurrying over.

Noah had just tried unsuccessfully to give Finnick a call, intending to inform Finnick about theevents of the past. When he heard that Finnick was at the Morrison residence, Noah immediatelymade up his mind to present both Vivian and Finnick with the truth simultaneously. It might help tolessen the misunderstanding between them.

As he surveyed the scene before him, however, Noah was rendered rather speechless. Why do all ofthem look so flustered? What's happening?

“You're just in time, Noah. Benedict is going to do some research, and you can stay here to helphim,” Finnick said smoothly before Noah could muster a response. Finnick did not know what it wasthat Vivian and Benedict were so determined to keep from him. In any case, he was willing to help.Noah took in Finnick’s words and Vivian's teary face. Baffled, he couldn't resist asking, “Mr. Norton,Mrs. Norton, what in the world just happened? Is everything all right?”

"Stop asking questions, Noah,” Vivian said curtly, then turned to Finnick. “Lets go to the bank first. Ican't waste any more time.”

“Noah, please cooperate with Benedict.” Finnick dismissed him before getting into the driver's seat.They sped away.

Gazing at the departing car, Noah was just as clueless as he had been when he just arrived.However, he turned to Benedict and asked politely, “Is there anything I can help with?”

Benedict scoffed. Disdainfully, he said, “No need, I'll get whatever help I need on my own. I don'tneed your help! When Finnick gets back, tell him that we don't want hypocrites like him aroundhere. We all know what he did to Vivian back then! What's the point of doing such incorrigible acts,then turning around and putting on a whole show of pretending to care?”
