A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 844

She could not understand this at all.

"It's a matter of principle. I've promised Ben that I'll take care of you, so it wouldn't be right for me to have you ask him for money."

He did not wait for her to respond. "Let's drop the idea and try to think of something else."

There was nothing else Vivian could have said to that. It was a good thing too that they were not yet at their wit's end so she need not be insistent on seeking Benedict's help.

Vivian and Noah quickly got back to helping to brainstorm for alternatives. Meanwhile, Evelyn was leisurely enjoying her afternoon tea.

"Now that Finnick's company has collapsed, the rest will be up to you," Evelyn said as she regarded

Hunter enthusiastically.

"Yes. But how do you know that they won't be able to turn this around?" Hunter replied as he took another sip of tea.

"For someone like you who holds the position of president in the business world, I'm sure you should be able to tell whether that's plausible." Evelyn left it for Hunter to assess for himself.

"Hmph. Indeed."

The man did not question her assertions. The Finnor Group was doubtlessly in dire straits and it would be hard-pressed for Finnick to be able to wriggle his way out of this one.

What Hunter needed to do was to continue to pound away from all angles until Finnor Group was down for the count. Then, he would go to Vivian.

Only by doing that could he become certain of making Vivian his.

Just thinking about this prospect had Hunter's lips curled into an unfathomable smile. He had everything planned out inside his head, waiting to be put into motion.

Evelyn was wondering if she might run into that woman she met at this shop previously.

The one who resembled Rachel William and who she has inquired about during her last visit to the nursing home.

She asked if the woman could be Rachel's younger or older sibling.

Rachel did not give her a straight answer.
