The moment she reached home, Finnick was reading a magazine on the couch.
At the sight of her, he asked, "You're early today."
"Oh, there was an interview this afternoon. I came straight home after that." Vivian answered halfheartedly.
She stared at the back of Finnick, thinking if she should ask him about the fire.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't resist but ask, "Finnick, you found out information about me being framed two years ago. Didn't you or grandpa investigate the kidnapper from the incident back then?"
Vivian thought that if they could find the abductor, maybe they could find out how Evelyn died. That way, Finnick wouldn't have to suffer from all the insults anymore.
Then the emotional entanglement in Benedict's heart would be unraveled. Maybe he could even make up with Finnick. Both of them used to love Evelyn after all.
Finnick asked curiously, "Why do you ask suddenly?"
"1-1 was just curious."
Finnick asked her to sit beside him as he said, "I found him, but..."
His voice trailed off.
In fact, Finnick had found information about the incident, but he didn't want to tell Vivian about it.
He didn't mean to hide it from her, but he didn't want to drag her into this matter and put her in danger.
"Why did you ask?" Finnick replied with a question instead.
After hesitating for a second, she gritted her teeth and grabbed hold of Finnick's hands. Her eyes staring into his, "I just don't like it when other people misunderstand you. They keep saying that you abandoned Evelyn."
Finnick furrowed his brows tightly together.
Even though there were some hurdles, it was obvious that the group of people hindering him weren't a match for Finnick. Although Noah took a longer time, he was getting closer to the truth.
Satisfying, Finnick said, "Good job. Look into every clue you find. I'll be waiting for good news."
The assistant was naturally happy when he received encouragement from his boss.
He added, "Also, about the girl who saved you ten years ago. The dress she wore was limited edition, only ten people in Sunshine City bought it. As long as we could retrieve the customer list and rule them out one by one, we'll be able to find her."
Finnick nodded. "Do your best and get to the bottom of it."
He couldn't wait to find out about the person who set Vivian up and show gratitude to the little girl who saved his life.
Meanwhile, at the magazine company's lobby, Vivian was welcomed by multiple people's gazes. Whatever. I'll just slowly get used to my life as Mrs. Norton.
