Never Late, Never Away Chapter 16

Before Vivian could react, she heard a scream of surprise. When she raised her head, she saw Emma rushing over.

Emma was her father’s wife and Ashley’s mother. However, she was not Vivian’s biological mother.

Her mother was still lying in the hospital, surviving on medicine and pills alone.

Emma quickly helped Ashley up from the floor. Fabian had also rushed over. When he saw her pathetic look and reddened eyes, his gaze was soon filled with fury. “Vivian, what are you doing?”

Unlike how fragile Ashley had appeared, Vivian maintained a stubborn look of defiance, despite being drenched in red wine. “She had continuously irked me with her words, so I accidentally pushed her. I’m sorry.”

“Accidentally?” Emma raised her voice as she glared at Vivian resentfully. “What do you mean by it being an accident? It’s evident that you’ve done it on purpose! You’re simply jealous that Ashley is able to marry someone great, hence, you’d wanted to sabotage her before her wedding! Why does she have such a ruthless sister?”

“Emma, you’re overthinking this. Why would I be jealous of Ashley?”

“You’ve been jealous of her since young. Don’t think that I’m oblivious to it!” Emma’s voice became sharper. “You refuse to admit your mistake! You and your mother are cut from the same cloth. You’re just like your mother—a shameless seductress!”

Vivian was completely enraged.

“Emma!” Her tone became frosty. “I’m warning you now. Because you’re older than me, I’ll let it go, even if you insult me. However, if you insult my mom, I’ll definitely refuse to show you any form of courtesy!”
