    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 88


    Meanwhile, Fabian was momentarily stunned. He had not expected Ashley to utter those words, much


    less cared to question his feelings towards her. However, he quickly recovered and a cold look shed


    across his face. “I’ve seen all the photos. What else can I misunderstand? What other exnations are


    there?”


    Seeing his tense expression, she dared not say anything more.


    Fabian observed the pitiful-looking woman in his arms, then suddenly remembered something. He


    frowned and questioned, “By the way, why and how did you end up with those photos?”


    After all, those photos were sent to him by an anonymous contact through email. He had not shown


    them to anyone except for Finnick and Vivian. How did Ashley end up with those photos in the first


    ce?


    The question caught Ashley by surprise. She had been immersed in her worries, and initially thought


    that she had seeded in changing the subject. Hearing his inquiry, her face paled once more.


    Oh no! I almost forgot. I have yet to exin the origin of those sted photos!


    Noticing Ashley’s face had turned white suddenly, something in Fabian clicked. Realizing slowly the


    suspected truth, he gently pulled her away from his arms. With his stern expression and his raised


    eyebrows, Fabian interrogated with a frown, “Ashley, are you the one who sent me those photos?”


    Ashley could not help but clench her fingers tightly. She knew that she was now in hot waters.


    In fact, just a few days ago, when she first learned that Vivian was married to Finnick, her mind was so


    full of unjustified anger that she made up the n on the spot to sabotage her without any careful


    nning nor afterthought.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Moreover, she was originally so confident in her n. She even bribed a servant of the Norton family to


    help out in her plot. After the grand party, she arranged for the servant to resign and leave, hence tying


    up any loose ends and made sure that her whole plot was air-tight from being exposed.


    Despite doing all that, she had undoubtedly underestimated the influence of the illustrious Norton


    family. With their power and efficiency, the investigation had proceeded much faster than she


    anticipated. That very night, she had been exposed.


    As such, she had note up with an excuse in time to exin the origin of those photos.


    The moment she heard Fabian’s question, it made her bbergasted. Her mind plunged into a state of


    disarray and she wished she were anywhere but here right now.


    Indeed, whether it was the incident from two years ago or the recent case, the photos in Fabian’s


    possession were sent by her personally.


    Because the scheme two years ago was all nned by her. Even the pinhole camera which snapped


    those photos was ced by her in the hotel as well.


    Of course, Fabian must never know about all these.


    While trying to calm herself down in the fastest possible time, an idea suddenly hit her. Her spirit was lit


    up with inspiration, along with her confidence.


    Deliberately pretending to be frightened, she quivered, “Fabian, if I reveal to you how I have gotten hold


    of these photos, will you me me?”


    Eyeing her suspiciously with narrowing eyes, he frowned, “Just tell me first, where do you get the


    photos?”


    Ashley purposely avoided his piercing stare and with a stuttering voice, she whispered, “A-Actually… I


    found them in your phone while browsing through it secretly.”


    With a sullen face, he stared at her warily, trying to spot any tell-tale signs of lying. After all, he had not


    expected such an exnation from her and could not help but be stunned by it.


    “You looked through my phone?”


    “Yeah.” Gaining momentum, she plucked up her courage and continued, “Do you remember that we


    were in a restaurant that day? I remembered that you were acting very abnormally. I suspected you


    might have another lover out there. I was scared, you know. Hence, when the chance arose, I flipped


    through your phone and saw your email app. Inside your inbox, there was an anonymous email. I


    clicked on it and saw its content… I didn’t expect to see such a thing. Perhaps I was too ovee with


    shock that I instinctively forwarded the email to my own cell phone.”


    Meanwhile, Fabian’s face was furrowed, trying hard to recall the event.


    He remembered in the few days after he had received the anonymous email, he had indeed had a


    meal with Ashley. He had been preupied and worried the whole time because of Vivian’s


    scandalous photos.


    Could things be so straightforward after all?


    Looking down at Ashley beside him, he saw that her eyes were red. She looked pitiful like a helpless


    little rabbit. The sight of her in such a state triggered a sudden feeling of sympathy in him.


    Deciding to trust her, he gave in, “Okay, I understand.” Further patting her on her shoulder reassuringly,


    he joked, “Don’t give me that kind of look anymore as if I’m the one bullying you.”


    Ashley bit her lips in anticipation and nced at him cautiously, “Fabian, you don’t me me


    anymore?”


    me you?


    Of course I me you.


    Especially when I remember the look in Vivian’s eyes the moment thepromising photos are


    released. In fact, he was so outraged back then that he wanted to break off the engagement with


    Ashley there and then.


    And yet, seeing Ashley’s eyes which bore much resemnce to Vivian’s, he could not bring himself to


    do it.


    Indeed, since his return, he had been too concerned with Vivian’s affairs and had outright neglected


    Ashley. It was no wonder that thetter had felt no sense of security regarding their rtionship.


    In the end, he could sense that Ashley had done this due to her love for him.


    Fabian’s eyes lit up suddenly.


    If only…
