"Century Hotel," replied Vivian instinctively.
However, she immediately looked at Finnick in surprise. "Why did you ask that?"
"Nothing." Finnick's expression was calm. "Have you never wondered who sabotaged you?"
First, her drink was spiked. Then, she was sent to the hotel room, while the scandal was reported to the school. It was evident that someone had deliberately sabotaged her.
"I don't know either. I tried investigating too, but I didn't discover anything," said Vivian. Suddenly, she realized something and stared at Finnick.
"Finnick, do you truly believe what I say?"
Finnick turned to the side to look at her. When he saw that she was leaning against his shoulder and looking dependent on him, his mood inexplicably improved. He replied in a deep voice, "You’re my wife. Why wouldn't I believe you?”
He said those simple words so matter-of-factly. Yet, it struck Vivian like a sledgehammer.
He believes me.
Despite having spent so many years with Fabian, he had never believed her. Yet, Finnick did.
"So?" Vivian's voice trembled. "Are you disgusted by me?”
This incident that happened two years ago was like a thorn in Vivian's heart. In the past, she had wallowed in despair, thinking that she would never marry.
"No." Finnick frowned. "This isn't your fault, so why should you blame yourself?"
Instead, you should let the true culprit pay the price.
However, Finnick did not say that. He merely made a silent decision.
After Vivian relayed the entire incident to him, she was so exhausted that she went to sleep.
With Finnick staying by her side for the entire night, Vivian fell asleep faster than usual.
In her sleep, she was still furrowing her pretty brows. Standing beside the bed, Finnick could not help but smoother, her brows out.
As he listened to Vivian's steady breathing, he whipped out his phone and called Noah.
