A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 285

Ashley replied, "I think he's most probably asleep by now."

Although Ashley was Mark's future daughter-in-law, he had always disliked her because of her family background.

As new money, the Miller family was incomparable to old money like the Norton family. However, Mark had a high tolerance for her because she was pregnant with the offspring of the Norton family.

"Then what brings you here?" Mark asked.

Ashley took a deep breath before she cut to the chase. "Mr. Norton, Finnick has always been an obstacle to us. You might need some help if you wish to get rid of him."

Mark turned around to look at her. Obstacle?

Since it was not his style to beat around the bush, he asked directly, "You're talking about Finnick?"

Ashley nodded.

Mark raised his brow. Hmm... Maybe she heard about it from Fabian... But wait a sec! Fabian is not someone with a loose lip. So she figured it out by herself? This young lady is surely a sharp one with a scheming mind. But what is she up to?

He remained silent while his mind was racing. Ashley could take the silence no more, so she spoke up, "Mr. Norton, I believe I can help you to get rid of Finnick."

"Help me?" Mark let out a chuckle, taking her words as a joke. "The Miller family is in trouble, so how could you afford me any help? I suggest you do nothing but rest well and take good care of your baby. As you can see, Grandpa is looking forward to a newborn."

Mark had always paid close attention to Finnick, so he knew about him targeting the Miller family. However, it seemed like he was not well-informed enough since he didn't know that Finnick had now become indebted to Ashley.

One thing for sure was that Ashley had always tried to suck up to Fabian. Now that she was pregnant, unlike her insensible sister, she seemed to have truly regarded herself as a part of the Norton family and was willing to take Mark, her future father-in-law's side.
