Chapter 227


    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 227


    Emma brought her speech to an abrupt halt the moment she detected Finnick’s prating gaze. In


    the end, she murmured to herself to express her frustration, “If it weren’t because of you, the Miller


    family wouldn’t have to go through this series of misfortune either! Hmph! How dare you think so highly


    of yourself?”


    Finnick scoffed, “Does that mean the Miller family is unwilling to adhere to the condition Vivian has


    imposed?”


    As soon as Emma and Harvey heard Finnick’s rhetorical question, they fell into the vicious cycle of


    despair yet again.


    They stared at Vivian in the eyes, signaling her to beg Finnick for mercy.


    On the other hand, Vivian was infuriated because Harvey and Emma had humiliated her in front of


    Finnick.


    Harvey begged, “Mr. Norton, please give us another chance!”


    He turned around and reprimanded his wife, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to


    Vivian!”


    Albeit reluctantly, Emma brought herself to beg for pardon. “Vivian, I’m sure you’re not going to take my


    words personally, right? Please, pay no heed to my words, I didn’t mean it.”


    Emma could feel a chill down her spine as Finnick remained silent while ring at her.


    Immediately after Emma caught a glimpse of his prating gaze, she changed her tone and


    apologized again. “Vivian, I’m…”


    She had a hard time apologizing because she couldn’t bring herself to cast her dignity as Vivian’s


    stepmother aside, but she was aware of the consequences of her action since Finnick had made


    himself clear. In the end, she had no choice but to apologize for the sake of the Miller family’s future.


    Otherwise, thevish lifestyle she enjoyed the most would perish over the night should she refuse to


    apologize.


    Finally, Emma muttered, “I’m so sorry, Vivian. Please forgive us for the things we have done to you


    back in the day.”


    Even though Emma had apologized, Vivian wasn’t pleased because she was aware that her


    stepmother didn’t mean it.


    Nevertheless, it was a miracle for Emma to admit her wrongdoings over the years.


    I guess this is the best possible oue… From now onwards, we’re no longer rted to one another.


    After Vivian made up her mind, she leaned over and told Finnick, “I’m tired.”


    She was exhausted for real because she didn’t want to be around the bunch of hypocrites anymore.


    Finnick’s heart wrenched when he noticed Vivian’s pair of swollen eyes. He felt a strong urge to teach


    the Miller family a lesson for offending the woman whom he loved wholeheartedly.


    However, he resisted the urge to take things out on the Miller family because Vivian had made herself


    clear. As long as they stayed away from Vivian, he would honor his promise.


    Finnick reached over and held Vivian’s frigid hand firmly. With his eyes glued to those from the Miller


    family, he warned, “I’ll let the Miller family off the hook this time for Vivian’s sake. However, I won’t


    hesitate to take all of you down if any of you repeat the same silly mistake.”


    Harvey and Emma’s hearts skipped a beat. Standing right where they were, they dared not talk back


    against Finnick and Vivian.


    Emma assured the duo, “Don’t worry! We’ll definitely stay out of your sight in the future! Ashley will


    behave herself as well. We won’t repeat such a silly mistake again. Haha.”


    “You’d better remember your words! Otherwise, it’s going to cost you more than a fortune if you try


    anything silly in the future!” Finnick sneered.


    Harvey and Emma’s legs turned to jelly, feeling as though they would pass out anytime soon, they


    could barely pull themselves together anymore.


    Finnick had enough of the Miller family. He turned around and brought Vivian out of the Miller


    Residence.


    The moment they stepped out of the Miller Residence, Vivian felt lightheaded because the whole


    situation seemed so surreal.


    I guess it’s finally over, huh? From now onwards, I’m no longer rted to Harvey and the Miller family.


    The torments that they have put me through don’t seem to matter anymore.


    Mom is the only family member I have from today onwards… No, wait, there’s Finnick too.


    Vivian felt warmth surging from deep within her when she recalled the existence of the two people


    whom she loved the most. She felt as though she had the strength to pick herself up once again.


    Once they walked out of the Miller Residence, Finnick brought Vivian back to his car and instructed


    Noah to send them home.


    Along the way, Vivian stared nkly ahead in a daze, she would asionally lower her gaze and her


    eyes would well up with tears.


    Finnick thought it was nigh time for Vivian to vent her frustrations. It was evident she could barely take


    it anymore after the series of confrontations she had gone through within a day.


    In fact, she would have long broken down if she wasn’t a tough woman.


    The Miller family is but a bunch of jerks! To think they would treat a fragile woman so cruelly… She


    must be feeling very sad now.


    Finnick pulled Vivian into his arms and asserted, “Everything is over. Feel to cry if you want to, you’ll


    feel better that way.”


    Leaning against his chest, Vivian felt a sense of security. She felt as though she had found a safe


    haven.


    Sobbing, she released all her pent-up emotions from all the injustice that she had suffered. For once in


    her life, she could shed her tough shell and be vulnerable in front of the man she loved.


    From the trauma and torment that she went through when she was young to the taunts and jeers that


    she received when she grew up, Vivian was relieved that it had finallye to an end. She could finally
