Hearing that Evelyn promised to visit her mother, Vivian's rage gradually subsided. "You better mean what you say.”
She could not force Evelyn to donate her bone marrow, so the least she could do was make Rachel a little happier. Vivian figured that Evelyn's voice was enough to bring Rachel so much joy in the hospital, so she would definitely be thrilled to see her daughter in person. This is the only thing I can do right now.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely go," Evelyn answered confidently. "I didn't know how to get along with her back then, but I'll visit her often from now on."
"Alright." Vivian nodded with satisfaction.
"Vivian, how're things going with Hunter? He seems to really like you."
Setting aside the topic with Rachel, Evelyn proceeded to ask Vivian about how she and Hunter were doing. She was worried that Hunter might not be able to woo Vivian.
"We're doing okay." Vivian gave her a side-eye stare and answered nonchalantly.
Vivian knew that Hunter was under Evelyn's orders to get close to her, but she did not want to expose her just yet. She had decided to go along with Evelyn's plans and play dumb, so Evelyn would not suspect anything. That way, it would be easier for her to collect evidence.
Vivian was determined to uncover evidence for the crime that Evelyn committed and pay her back.
"Do you like him? Have you ever thought about dating him?" Evelyn looked forward to hearing Vivian's answer. If Vivian fell in love with someone else, it doesn't matter if Finnick still has feelings for her.
"He's a good man." Vivian did not give her a clear answer.
"He is. You don't know this, but he was really popular among the girls in school back then."
Evelyn smiled happily as she heard what she wanted to hear. It looks like my plan is going to work. Vivian is as dumb as always.
"Really?" Vivian responded while looking for an excuse to leave. There was no more reason for her to stay there after she got the promise from Evelyn.
