After driving home, Hunter made a call to Vivian in front of Evelyn to avoid raising her suspicion. Turning the speaker mode on, he asked Vivian to come to his house as he had something to discuss with her and Vivian agreed without any hesitation.
Noticing that Vivian's attitude over the phone was rather fine, Evelyn asked in puzzlement, "When she found out that she was being drugged after waking up that day, didn't she quarrel with you? Did she just accept it?"
With thoughts running in his head, Hunter pulled a face intentionally and put on a disdainful expression. "That's exactly why I thought she wasn't that interesting after all. I thought she was aloof initially and I didn't expect that she was actually so hot-blooded. Now that I think about it, she might have been interested in me from the very beginning and acted cool to catch my attention, and all this while I thought I have met someone special. It turns out that she was no different from those other women I've encountered."
Hunter's remarks made Evelyn even more scornful of Vivian. My assumption about Vivian was right after all. She's indeed a pretentious tr*mp.
"Haven't I told you earlier? She's just a vixen who has tons of ways to hook up with men. She must have seduced Finnick using the same way as well."
Seeing that Evelyn's doubts had been cleared, Hunter let out a breath of relief within himself. However, Evelyn's comments concerning Vivian made him frown and also deepened his hatred toward Evelyn.
To shun further slanders of Evelyn about Vivian,
Hunter changed the subject. "What substance are you going to use to knock her unconscious? I don't have anything with me here."
"Rest assured. I've brought it along with me.” With that, Evelyn took out a small bottle from her pocket and poured out a few pills into the glass. "Just dissolve them in the water later and let her drink it."
"So these are?" Hunter didn't know what pills she was trying to feed Vivian with.
"Sleeping pills." Evelyn snickered, "They should be enough to make her snooze for a while."
What kind of a woman would bring along sleeping pills with her everywhere she goes? Looking at the curve on Evelyn's lips, Hunter could only feel chills down his own spine.
"Why don't you hide inside the room first? I reckon that Vivian would be arriving in any minute now." Calming himself down, Hunter said, "After confirming that she has gone unconscious, I'll ask you to come out."
