A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 384

"I can't be sure too. We still don't have a clear outline of what exactly went down that year. For now, all we have are fragments of information." Mr. Norton could not make sense of the situation as well. "Vivian, I'll be honest and tell you that I've never liked Evelyn. She has been manipulative and cunning since young. Do keep your guard up whenever you interact with her," Mr. Norton cautioned.

"I understand, Grandpa," Vivian replied earnestly.

Vivian mulled over the conversation as she walked home later. Based on Mr. Norton's words, it was without doubt that Evelyn had fabricated a story. There had been dozens of discrepancies in her narrative when she first described the incident to the Morrisons.

But why would Evelyn lie about this? And if the janitor didn't rescue her, how did she escape the fire?

Vivian's mind exploded with questions as she tried her best to wrap her head around the situation, but her efforts were to no avail. Curiosity eventually got the better of her. She made a call to Evelyn and asked to meet up. Vivian wished to question her in person.

Evelyn breezily agreed to Vivian's request, not giving it much thought.

"Let's meet at the same cafe we went to on the shopping trip," Vivian suggested. With that, she ended the call and headed to the venue.

There was no sign of Evelyn when Vivian arrived at the destination. Vivian ordered a coffee and sipped on it, savoring its aromatic bitterness as she recollected her frenzied thoughts.

Evelyn would never admit it if I asked her pointblank if she lied. How can I prove that she lied and convince her to tell the truth at the same time?

Then, murmurs rose around Vivian, jarring her out of her thoughts.

She lifted her head to scan her surroundings and noticed that everyone's gazes were fixed in the same direction as they whispered amongst themselves, their eyes shining with amazement.

She followed their stares and noticed Evelyn approaching her.
