"Shares?" Finnick sneered. "They are nothing compared to my child!"
"What child?" Mark returned, confused. He had never heard of Finnick's child. Could it be his bastard?
At that thought, Mark furrowed his brows. If Finnick had a child, the Norton family would belong to him entirely. He didn't want his past efforts to pave the path for Finnick.
"Yes, my child!" Finnick raised his voice. A dangerous gleam appeared in his eyes. "If you and Evelyn hadn't schemed against Vivian, I wouldn't have misunderstood and thought she was pregnant with another man's child! She wouldn't have lost the child after that!"
Oh, the child is no longer alive. Mark heaved a sigh of relief. Swiftly, terror overtook him. As Finnick's child was dead, he wouldn't show any mercy.
"I'm too ruthless?" Finnick scoffed. "I thought I was being too kind. This isn't enough to avenge my dead child!"
"What more do you want?" Mark questioned fearfully. I'm already in jail. What more does Finnick want?What else can he do?
They had been at odds for years, so Mark knew what Finnick was like. If Finnick refused to let him off the hook, Mark was afraid he might make things worse for him in jail.
Instead of answering him, Finnick demanded, "You were the one behind my kidnapping more than ten years ago, right? Did you try to burn me to death?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Why would that have anything to do with me?" Mark feigned
innocence.
