Mark snickered. "Ashley, the main reason you hate Vivian is that Fabian still loves her, am I right?"
No one can hide anything from this cunning man.
"That's right," she admitted, "I am willing to do anything to make Vivian suffer!"
Mark was rather surprised at the turn of events. Initially, he thought it would not be an easy feat to get rid of Finnick when Vivian turned him down. However, now that Ashley volunteered to work with him, he would be able to turn the tide.
"Do you have any plans?" he asked. "As we all know, Finnick is a tough nut to crack."
Ashley flashed an evil smile and revealed her plans, "Finnick is indeed a tough nut, but Vivian is rather gullible. Don't you think so?"
"Oh?" Mark narrowed his eyes. Despite being a ruthless man, Finnick had a soft spot for Vivian.
He had to admit that Ashley was right; Vivian was indeed the only chink in Finnick's armor. Since Vivian was unwilling to work with him, he had no choice but to destroy her alongside her husband.
"So, what's your exact plan?" he asked.
Ashley replied with another question, "Mr. Norton, what do you think is the most important thing to Vivian and Finnick?"
Mark's curiosity was piqued, so he signaled Ashley to go on.
Seeing that Mark was starting to trust her, Ashley immediately revealed her scheme in detail.
His eyes lit up after hearing Ashley's plan.
He must admit that sometimes men and women do think differently. Unlike him, who thought from a business perspective, Ashley had approached the matter in a totally different way.
