The thought of Finnick standing so close to Vivian just now caused Evelyn to have her heart in her mouth. Did Vivian come back to steal Finnick away from me? It must be so! Otherwise, how could they have met in this auction so coincidentally?
Looking at Vivian's dress, Evelyn balled her hands into fists under the blanket. Unexpectedly, Vivian has learned how to seduce men after five years, but I won't let her steal Finnick away!
Wheeling herself up to Finnick, Evelyn held his arm and cooed coyly, "I was bored at home, so I went out. While I was in the car, I heard that you're here for an auction, so I came to find you, and we can go home together."
Evelyn purposely emphasized the phrase "go home." After speaking, she looked over at Vivian. "Oh, it's you, Vivian. I didn't recognize you just
now."
Evelyn pretended to be very enthusiastic. "When did you come back? Finnick and I are going back. Do you wanna come to our place?"
Vivian was shocked when she saw Evelyn in a wheelchair, but she immediately thought of the comments others made about the latter being a cripple before the auction started.
Initially, she felt a little sorry for Evelyn, but she inwardly sneered after hearing the latter's words and seeing the provocative look in her eyes.
Did she say so to show me that Finnick belongs to her? As expected, she still hasn't changed. She's still as scheming as ever.
However, Vivian looked at Evelyn's legs that were covered with a blanket and suspected if the latter had faked her disability. Based on her understanding of Evelyn's character, she believed that Evelyn was definitely capable to do such a thing.
But this has nothing to do with me anymore. Vivian could not help but mock herself inwardly. So what if she's faking it? As long as someone believes her.
