A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 599

"Impossible! Why would Finnick refuse to see me? He loves me! He cares for me, or he wouldn't have taken care of me all these years. Liars, you're all liars!" Evelyn was losing her grip on her sanity.

"A nightmare-this must be a nightmare!" A delusional smile spread across Evelyn's face as she struck her head with clenched fists. "Wake up! Stop dreaming! I hate this dream!"

Pain surged through Evelyn, confirming that she was wide awake. She crumpled on the ground in sorrow. "How did it turn out like this? Why does it hurt? This is a dream; I shouldn't feel pain."

Evelyn's manic behaviour left Noah stunned.

"What happened? What did Mr. Norton find out?" Noah's own voice snapped him back to reality. He was in such a daze that he did not realize he had voiced his concern until the words hung in the air.

The careless question had lit a fuse, igniting Evelyn.

"'What happened¹? How dare you ask me what happened? Mark exposed the fact that I was the one who hired men to assault Vivian, and it's all because of your negligence! Why didn't you find out sooner? Why did you let him in?" Her incensed screeches pierced the air.

"Why would he suddenly bring this up? Be honest, did you seek him out? Traitors! You're a bunch of traitors who betrayed me!"

Evelyn loathed anyone she could blame. In her mind, their incompetence had soiled her plans, and by association, ruined her life.

"You were the one who set up Mrs. Norton's assault?" Noah exclaimed, floored by her confession. He knew that the kidnapping was related to Mark, but he never made the connection to Evelyn.
