Mark and Fabian looked at Vivian in shock. They had not expected her to be willing to release Ashley.
"What is it?" Mark asked at once.
"Transfer half the shares in Norton Corporation over to Finnick," Vivian demanded.
She remembered elder Mr. Norton had told her that Mark prevented Finnick from owning any shares in Norton Corporation. Therefore, she wanted to use to opportunity to Finnick's advantage.
"That's impossible!" Mark declared.
"In that case, you can forget about Ashley and the child." Vivian declared with conviction.
Her words caused Mark's expression to change drastically.
Even Finnick was shocked to hear Vivian's proposal.
He didn't expect her to be aware of such matters let alone taking his interests into account during such a time.
After hesitating for a while, Mark seethed as he replied, "Fine. I agree. Finnick, release Ashley quickly."
At the end of the day, Ashley and her child were simply too important to lose.
However, Finnick ignored them and furrowed his brows at Vivian instead. "Ashley deserves to be punished for what she has done to you. You don't have to accommodate my interest at your own expense."
Vivian smiled. "It's not a problem for me at all. I really want to do something for you."
Finnick was touched.
Although Ashley was saved, the Miller Group wasn't. Vivian quickly received news that Harvey, who was drowning in debt, had fled the country.
The next day, elder Mr. Norton arrived. It was the first time he came since the fake pregnancy incident.
He was more concerned about Vivian's health and didn't mention anything about the pregnancy.
The more considerate he was, the greater Vivian's guilt became.
Sitting opposite him, Vivian apologized repeatedly.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry... I have disappointed you."
