Never Late, Never Away Chapter 719

As she tried to recall what had happened, fragments of memories and images flashed across

Vivian's mind. She could remember the blistering heat and pain within her, and how Hunter was

holding her. She could even see Finnick at the end...

Vivian's expression turned more and more distorted. I was... I was drugged!

Seeing Vivian's unusually pale countenance, Finnick asked again anxiously, “Vivian, how do you feel?

Does it... still hurt?”

Catching the rather peculiar pause in Finnick’s utterances, Vivian's face turned even more colorless.

“What happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?”

Holding her hand tightly, Finnick answered, “You asked me to meet you at your house, remember?

So I went and saw you... You weren't in a sound condition. Hunter said you were drugged by Evelyn

so I sent you to the hospital.”

As expected, I was drugged indeed! Vivian clenched her fist so tightly her nails dug into her palm.

She remembered Evelyn went to help in the kitchen when Rachel was preparing dinner. Sure

enough, she was up to no good!

With a wrathful glint in her eyes, Vivian looked up at Hunter. “So that was the reason she has asked

you to pick me up. Her purpose was for us to..."

Hunter nodded with an extremely somber expression. “That's probably true.”

Biting hard on her lip, Vivian was feeling overwhelmed by outrage. I still have an old score from five

years ago to settle with her and yet this Evelyn is coming against me again!

Finnick placed his hand on Vivian's lips out of fear that she would hurt herself from the biting.

"Don’t worry, Vivian. I'll definitely avenge you and not let Evelyn off the hook so easily this time!”

Seeing Finnick's hand on Vivian's lips kindled a bitter glow in Hunter's eyes. Vivian didn’t avoid such

an intimate gesture at all. Does it mean that she really wants to reconcile with Finnick?

Even though he was green with envy within himself, Hunter added following what Finnick said,

"Vivian, just get yourself a good rest with peace of mind. Leave Evelyn to me. I have tons of ways to

handle her."

“There's no need.” Seeing as both these men wanted to avenge her, Vivian refused as an icy air

slowly emanated from her body. “I don't need the two of you to do it for me. Let me take care of it

myself, but do lend me a hand.”

Looking at each other, Finnick and Hunter nodded in unison. It was indeed better to let her settle

the score herself as it would also be a good way for her to vent her hatred.

Looking into Vivian's eyes, Finnick asked in a solemn manner, “Vivian, how do you want us to help?”

A smirk crept up on Vivian's face. The feeling of aggression within her was so great that it

threatened to engulf her. Evelyn, you brought this upon yourself. This time, I'll let you have a taste

of your own medicine!

Meanwhile, Evelyn was anxiously waiting for the outcome of her scheme. Even though Hunter had

expressed his feelings for Vivian and would most probably yield to such a temptation, she couldn't

help worrying about the chance of failure to her plan.

Evelyn thought it was about time and she couldn't wait any longer either so she made a call to

Hunter.

It was picked up in an instance. Suppressing her perturbation, Evelyn spoke very slowly, “How's it?

Are you satisfied with the gift I presented you?”

“You mean how you drugged Vivian?” Knowingly, Hunter feigned surprise and asked in return.

“I did all that for you.” Listening to Hunter's tone, Evelyn wasn't very certain if he had done

according to her plan and if it worked well. “Don’t you like her? If I don't do this, it'll take ages for

you to pursue her with Vivian's temper.”

“Ah, that's why. I should really...” Hunter deliberately paused for a while which made Evelyn felt like

her heart was in her throat.

“Thank you.” Hunter's tone turned a little flippant. “You're indeed an old friend of mine for many

years. You know me the best. I'm very impressed by this gift.”

Upon listening to that, the bothered expression on Evelyn's face totally vanished. Ha! It happened

exactly like what I've anticipated. All these years, there wasn't anyone who knew Hunter better than

she did. How could he bear to refuse it when a pretty woman threw herself at him?
