Initially, Vivian wanted to stop by Norton Residence to visit Larry, but she gave up this thought a second later. It would cause trouble for Larry if anyone saw her there.
Despite missing her child desperately, Vivian could only control her urge and went back to her own place.
Meanwhile, Finnick threw himself right into work after he reached the office. He paused for a while and glanced at his watch. It was already the time fortheir appointment.
He then flipped through the document that Chase sent him to check on the meeting time and venue.
At the same time, Chase was certain that Finnick would definitely show up, as this might be his only chance to overturn the situation.
Chase had always taken a liking for Finnor Group's resources and would be happy to own it.
Hence, it would be a mutual relationship that benefited both parties.
Back when Finnick first learned about Chase's plans, he could not accept them. But after he cleared his thoughts and pondered for a long time, he realized this was his only way out.
Even though he would lose Finnor Group, all things required certain sacrifice to grow and move forward.
Looking at his watch, he realized he would be late soon. Thus, he swiftly packed his stuff and departed to the appointed venue.
Right when he was about to start his car, a call came in.
"Hello, who is it?"
"This is the police department. Am I speaking to Mr. Norton?"
"Yes." Finnick was stunned and puzzled by this unexpected call.
The police department? Did someone set me up again? Will I be back in prison?
Obviously, Finnick's suspicion had no solid basis. It was merely out of his fear of being thrown into prison once again.
"I am calling about the report you made about Evelyn. We have discovered a new clue that shows Evelyn appeared around Shadowhill."
After Finnick was freed from prison, he started suing Evelyn for slandering him and conducting illegal acts.
Ever since then, the police had investigated her and found Finnick's accusation to be true. Hence, they started to observe Evelyn.
However, Evelyn turned out to be extremely cautious, and they failed to identify any criminal act from her ever since.
Their patience finally paid off when Evelyn was spotted around Shadowhill.
"I see. Thanks for the update. Please continue to keep an eye on her."
Finnick was extremely concerned about this matter at that time, so he requested the police to inform him if they discovered anything.
But he soon forgot about her case after that. Nonetheless, he was grateful to the police for keeping their promise.
