Never Late, Never Away Chapter 274

“Remember those photos from the party last time? It seems like not only is she indecent, but she also can’t act the part of Mrs. Norton properly either. What a disgrace to the family.”

“What on earth is Mr. Norton thinking? What exactly did he see in her? And all that talk about the V.M Fund… Unbelievable.”

The ruthless comments flooded Vivian’s ears, leaving her hot with shame.

Never had Vivian felt so out of place until this moment. Indeed, the upper-class social circle never had a place for her. She did not even know what gift would have been appropriate for such an occasion. Vivian rationalized that she deserved to be shamed.

Finnick, enraged by the remarks, was all ready to defend Vivian. However, the elder Mr. Norton beat him to it.

Evidently pleased with the gift in hand, he beamed at Vivian and said, “This is the best present I’ve received thus far. In fact, it’s very much my favorite. You’re too lovely, Vivian. Please accept my sincerest gratitude.”

The room instantly fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded at the elder Mr. Norton’s high praise.

Exchanging incredulous looks, the indignant crowd sneered at the elder Mr. Norton’s explicit bias toward Vivian.
