A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 797

"Morning, Joshua." Evelyn needed more money, so she could only suck up to Joshua and shamelessly cling to him like she was his woman.

Only then could she achieve her ultimate goal.

"Mm." Joshua felt slightly irritated by Evelyn's intimate way of calling him.

Despite that, he responded to her greeting.

"We should get up now." Joshua rolled out of bed for fear that his brother might find out that he had slept with Evelyn. If that happened, he would never hear the end of it.

To his consternation, his fears came true.

Just when Evelyn was about to insist on staying, Henry's voice reached her ears.

"Please, don't trouble yourself with getting up. You had the guts to do this, yet, you're too scared to let me know about it?" Henry barged into the room and glared at his younger brother.

"Henry." Joshua was nonplussed as to how his brother found out about his shenanigans during the previous night.

Although he was curious, the most important thing at the moment was to disassociate himself from the matter altogether.

"It wasn't me, Henry. She was the one who seduced me." All of Joshua's pocket money was given by Henry, and the former would be left with nothing if his brother decided to cut him off.

Hence, worried that Henry would get mad, he blamed everything on Evelyn instead.

But Evelyn was no pushover; she would never stand by and allow Joshua to slander her like this.

"No, Henry. I didn't seduce him," Evelyn contradicted.

Unfortunately, she failed to remember her place and the familial relationship between these two men.

Henry would never smear his brother's reputation for the sake of an outsider.

Thus, he wrote Evelyn a cheque and told her to leave, but not before warning her against disclosing this incident.

Otherwise, he would make sure she couldn't continue staying in Thymion.

Powerless against his threat, Evelyn took the cheque and wheeled herself out in a defeated manner.

At present, she didn't have a penny on her. If she didn't accept the cheque, she wouldn't be able to survive in the days to follow.
