Ch. 1261..1270

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1261

Just as she was about to sort things out, Hannah suddenly had an idea. Why didn’t she just wait until they’d already started foreplay? If she denied him what he wanted at the moment of climax, wouldn’t that be the harshest punishment? Isn’t this also doing me some justice?

Hannah wondered, as her movements became more suggestive.

Fabian had never seen Hannah take the initiative before, and his lust for her grew even more.

You are so proactive, how can I just not cooperate then? Fabian mused and inclined his head to kiss Hannah on the lips.

His kiss was initially gentle, exerting very little force. He parted her lips with his tongue and then sought hers out.

Hannah also kissed him back, hard.

Fabian was overjoyed to feel her reciprocate. Usually, his kisses would receive no response from her, but this was different. This time, she was actually kissing him back, and he could not help but deepen the kiss.

Hannah’s hands were tightly clasped behind Fabian’s back as she felt her body tremble. Her intentions still lingered, but she could not fathom why she could not stop.

Fabian’s moved abruptly as he prepared to go further with what they had started.

Sensing that Fabian had stopped for a brief moment, Hannah suppressed the excitement she felt and pinned him with a glare. “Piss off, Fabian.”

Fabian was quite confused by Hannah’s sudden change in demeanor. Did she just ask me to piss off?

Without dwelling on it, Fabian decided to go in for the kill.

“Ah! I told you…to…piss off!” Hannah was suddenly more acutely aware of Fabian’s ministrations, from his movements to the temperature of his body, which took her breath away.

Fabian ignored her protests and did not stop.

Hannah, on the other hand, found it even harder to push him away.

It was not long until the pair had reached the peak, and a sated bliss overcame them both.

When Fabian finally stopped, Hannah was already dozing off. Her tiredness and intoxication were of no help to her, after all. She lay there cuddled against his chest and fell fast asleep.

Fabian gently stroked Hannah’s hair, his eyes filled with affection. He tightened his grip on her at the same time, feeling a protective tightness in his chest.

As he watched Hannah sleep in his arms, Fabian kept replaying the day’s events. All of this was his fault. If not for him, nobody would have marked Hannah as a target.

His gaze darkened considerably as he made a vow. Anyone who would harm a single hair on his woman’s head would have hell to pay.

“Hello? Who’s on the line?”

Yvette had received a phone call from an unfamiliar number. She answered it without thinking.

“Ms. Yvette? It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is that I know you are going to kill Hannah.”

On the other end of the line, Lyna’s eyes flashed with a full grin. She planned to seek out Yvette, collaborate with her, then finally put all the blame on her.

“Huh? What bullsh*t are you on right now? If you’re going to be talking crap, I’m hanging up.”

Yvette lashed out because she did feel some guilt, having not expected to be exposed so quickly. She sensed that Lyna was testing her too.

“Whether or not it’s bullshit, you know better. However, I know that you sought out a car to hit Hannah’s bridal entourage en-route to the wedding. You and I both know that Fabian is perfectly capable of finding out the truth. I dare not think of what he’ll do to you then.”

Lyna was saying this deliberately to get a rise out of Yvette. If she felt scared, then she was definitely more likely to team up with Lyna.

“What are you trying to pull here?”

The panic in Yvette’s voice was apparent. Lyna could sense it in the way her voice shook.

“It’s not about what I want, but what you’re going to do. Tell you what, we’ll meet in the teahouse. I’ll let you know which booth to wait in.”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1262

Lyna hung up immediately after she spoke, looking like the cat who ate the canary. Now that Yvette is panicked and likely frightened half to death, won’t she have to do exactly as I ask?

She laughed and rubbed her hands gleefully. “Don’t think you can escape my clutches this time, Hannah. I have an extra layer to my plan this time, but you don’t. You’re not getting away.”

Lyna’s expression turned even more vicious. Apart from plotting against Hannah, she had factored in how to deal with Fabian as well. Fabian may have been powerful, but he could not prevent everything. Lyna knew exactly what needed to be done.

“Oh Fabian, there’s nobody to blame but yourself for this. It’s your fault that you’re not thorough enough. It’s your fault for wanting to marry that b*tch, Hannah. Rest in peace in the afterlife, then.”

Lyna looked out the window with a sly smile, narrowed her eyes, and then made her way downstairs.

“Mr. Jackson, don’t you have to give something to Ms. Young?”

Xavier’s assistant asked him tentatively as he slowly drove the man away.

“Heh, do you think this is still necessary?”

Xavier had always regarded his assistant as his closest confidante. He trusted the man and did not hide anything from him.

“Well…”

The assistant trailed off, embarrassed. Of course, Xavier was right. It was unnecessary, given how Hannah and Fabian were already so close to each other. Xavier couldn’t possibly barge in and be a third wheel.

“What’s done is done.”

Xavier shook his head bitterly in the back seat, slowly lowered the window, then lifted the present beside him and threw it out the window.

“I guess it’s no surprise that someone like her was snatched up by Fabian.”

Xavier sighed. He was very unwilling to give up, but he knew that he did not stand a chance. Hannah was out of bounds.

“And you are?”

Following Lyna’s instructions, Yvette entered the private room for their meeting. She sized up Lyna curiously, seemingly enchanted by the other woman’s appearance.

“I am Lyna, the successor to the Blackwood Group.”

Lyna leaned back and casually introduced herself to Yvette.

Having said that she was the successor to the Blackwood Group, Lyna then had to be confident enough in her capabilities. She knew that the position would be hers soon enough, anyway. It was also to ensure that Yvette would be emboldened by someone powerful backing her.

“The Blackwood Group?”

Yvette looked at Lyna doubtfully. Being an entertainer, she was naturally unfamiliar with the companies in the business circles. Apart from the people whose interactions had intersected with her line of work, she was only familiar with the five bigshots in the country.

“Please, have a seat. No need to be so hostile. I’ll have you know that I’m here to help you.”

Lyna smiled and made a friendly gesture, motioning for Yvette to sit down and chat.

“Why help me? Tell me what you’re after.”

Yvette was in the entertainment industry long enough to understand that help did not come for . She refused to believe that Lyna would be so eager to help her, given how they barely knew each other at all.

Lyna tried to break the silence with some awkward laughter. Instead, she busied herself with the freshly brewed tea and poured Yvette a cup. “You’re so refreshingly direct, Ms. Tanner. I’ll go straight to the point then.”

She then straightened her back and looked directly at Yvette. “I’m not going to lie. Hannah and I are half-sisters. Just a few days ago, my brother needed a bone marrow transplant because he has leukemia. My father reached out to her, and she has since returned to the family.”

Suddenly, Lyna turned resentful. Her tone of voice had changed, as she sounded very angry.

“Unexpectedly, since her return, she has done nothing but speaks ill of me in front of my father. She is also competing with me for the assets that my father was going to will to me.”

“And on top of that, she has married Fabian Norton. Hannah has been using him to threaten my father, claiming that she will use Fabian to wreak havoc on the company if he didn’t give her any of the shares. I was furious, of course, but there was nothing I could do but watch her take away what belongs to me.”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1263

Upon hearing that, Yvette couldn’t help but feel sorry for Lyna. Looking at Lyna who was so deeply aggrieved that teardrops could even be seen dangling at the corner of her eyes, she nodded lightly as she thought about the car crash plotted by her. It looks like I’ve done something right. A cheap tart like her deserves to die. Even if it doesn’t work this time, there’ll be other chances.

“I didn’t expect that she’s such a despicable woman. But it’s not surprising though. How could she have snatch Fabian away from me if she wasn’t unscrupulous?”

Yvette continued to run on how it would have been the wedding of Fabian and her if it wasn’t because of Hannah. If I had married Fabian, I wouldn’t need to earn a living by acting anymore. The wealth owned by the Norton family was more than enough even for a few generations to spend.

“I wanted to seek revenge on her, but I didn’t dare to because of Fabian, and I could only bear with it. Then, when I heard what you did this time, I couldn’t help getting excited. Meanwhile, I told myself that I can’t go on being a coward anymore. I had to retaliate against her and I need to fight back to get back what was once mine.”

Seeing Yvette’s palpable aggression toward Hannah, Lyna smiled within herself. It seems like she has taken the bait. Immediately, like a woman forced to a dead end, she started in a piteous tone, “That’s exactly the reason that I’ve come to you—to discuss and work out a perfect plan to deal with her.”

Lyna had finally pointed out the main subject of their discussion as she turned to Yvette.

Listening to Lyna’s words, along with her first-class acting skills, Yvette took everything she said as the whole truth and treated her as her own comrade right away.

“Do you have any good idea?”

Yvette was no longer suspicious about Lyna at that moment. But little did she know that Lyna was only treating her as her cat’s paw.

“Well, let’s do it this way…”

Then, Lyna approached Yvette and both of them started talking about their plan in whispers.

In the meantime, Hannah was lying on a huge rosewood bed. Moving her fingers, she could feel the numbness on them, and then, she opened her dopey eyes.

As soon as she did that, she saw Fabian sleeping next to her and he was even hugging her tightly.

What in the world! How did I… What is happening?

Hannah tried to recall what had happened before that.

I was drunk, and I dreamt about Fabian. And then… And then, I forced him, and…

Argh!

Suddenly, Hannah remembered that Fabian and she were even doing ‘the wild thing’ in her dream.

Thinking of that, Hannah hurriedly lifted the blanket on her side.

I…

Upon that, Hannah saw her own porcelain skin and couldn’t stop breaking into a cold sweat.

Does that mean that it wasn’t a dream but the reality? How can this be?

Hannah’s eyes widened in shock and she turned to the other side in disbelief.

That… Is that the wedding gown being ripped?

Hannah’s mind went utterly blank. The torn wedding gown was the sole evidence that those images running in her mind were not dreams after all, but hard truth.

I…

How did that happen? Does that mean that… I’ve forced myself on Fabian?

Bah! Forced?! It was me who was throwing myself at him! And in the end, wasn’t it still Fabian who gained an advantage?

I was such an idiot! How could I think that it was only a dream?

Hannah’s face was flushed red at that instant and she almost cried as she thought about how dumb she was.

She then turned to look at Fabian.

Good. He’s still sleeping.

She lifted the blanket and got down from the bed quietly. Not bothered to even wear the slippers, she ran out on tiptoe.

“Phew! What did I do? I was such an idiot! Drinking is a bad thing to do. I shouldn’t drink anymore in the future.”

Getting out of the bedroom, Hannah let out a breath of relief and knocked lightly on her woozy head, blaming herself.

Then, she paced toward the bathroom directly and took a shower. Only after that did she come out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel.

“Oh! Y-you’re awake?”

Just as Hannah walked out of the bathroom, she saw Fabian sitting on the sofa in the living room. That gave her a severe jolt.

And with that jerk, the towel fell off from her body to the ground.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1264

Fabian turned his head around when he heard her, and then he saw Hannah standing naked in front of him. A gleam flashed across Fabian’s eyes, and he started placidly, “Um, are you trying to seduce me?”

“What?”

Hannah couldn’t seem to understand what he was saying but she noticed Fabian was staring straight at her, making her feel uneasy.

What’s there to see? Isn’t it just a pink towel? If you like it so much, I can buy one for you tomorrow.

Well, I better make a run now as I’m only covered with this towel. If this guy gets all aroused again, it’ll be unthinkable.

Just when Hannah raised her foot, prepared to escape from the scene…

Wait a minute…

Hannah felt something soft under her foot, so she looked down unwittingly. There on the ground was her pink towel.

Hannah took a look at her own body. There was nothing left on it.

“Ahh! Pervert! What are you looking at!”

Hannah grabbed the towel hurriedly and wrapped herself up again very swiftly.

“It wasn’t me who took it off. Besides, I thought it was you taking your towel off on purpose to seduce me.”

Hearing that, Fabian curled his lips into a devious smile and teased Hannah.

“I seduce you? Oh please, it’s you taking advantage of me.”

In response to Fabian’s shameless reply, Hannah stared at him and countered.

“Wasn’t that what you did? Tell me then. Who was the one taking off her clothes and kissing me so eagerly? That was such an enticing moment!”

“You—I…”

Hannah’s face glowed in red at that remark and she ran off in a tick.

“This silly woman. We’ve had a wedding already. Why is she still behaving like that?”

Looking at Hannah’s figure as she left, Fabian shook his head, stood up, and headed toward the washroom.

“Anyhow, I like that,” Fabian murmured to himself as he walked.

Returning to her room and locking the door, Hannah panted as she leaned against the door.

Argh! How embarrassing was that! Why am I such an idiot!

Hannah couldn’t stop beating herself up for her own lack of intelligence, but she was also rather helpless as it was inborn, and she couldn’t help it either.

However, very soon, she realized a serious issue. I don’t have any clothes here!

It was their marital home that had been specifically prepared by Fabian for Hannah. It was Hannah’s first time being there, so naturally, she didn’t bring any of her clothes over.

When she opened the wardrobe, she was instantly baffled. It’s empty!

She thought Fabian must have done it on purpose.

What should I do now? I don’t have anything to wear.The wedding gown? Who am I kidding? It has been ripped apart by Fabian.

Just as she was at a loss for ideas, her phone chimed and she took a gander. It was Helen.

Ah, it’s still my own sister whom I can actually rely on. I can ask her to bring me a set of clothing.

“Hello? Helen?” Hannah picked up the call and uttered excitedly.

Over the phone, however, Helen sounded a little awkward. “Hello, Hannah, umm… are you busy right now?”

Helen was thinking to herself that Hannah and Fabian might be getting busy around that time.

“Eh? I’m not busy. Why?”

In fact, Hannah was trying to imply something else. I’m not busy. Come find me and bring me some clothes now.

“Ah, I see. It’s good then. Jason just called and told me that he had found out who was trying to get you killed and asked me not to relay it to you. He said he would tell you himself after avenging you.”

“What? Who is that? Forget it. You know what? Why don’t you come find me directly and we’ll talk about it then? Let me give Jason a call first. I can’t let him mess around.”

Hannah was astounded by that news. Jason actually found out the person who tried to kill me and wants to avenge me. What has gotten into him? With his temper, it’s really unimaginable what sort of trouble he’ll be stirring up.

“Oh, yeah, bring me a set of clothing when you come. It’s a new house and I didn’t prepare any,” Hannah told her sister.

In the meantime, she remembered all at once that her undergarments had also been torn by Fabian, so she started rather bashfully again, “Umm… Help me buy some undergarments, too. I spilled some alcohol on mine accidentally.”

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1265

With that, Hannah quickly hung up the call as she was afraid that Helen would ask her about it.

“Undergarments?”

Helen was clearly perplexed. How would one spill her drinks on the undergarments? Did she drink without her clothes on?

Then, a wicked smile crept up on Helen’s face. She uttered to herself, “Oh, I guess I know why now.”

“Hello, something’s up. I’ll see you at the usual place!” Jason was talking on the phone.

That was not the first call he made. He was in the midst of gathering all his buddies to devise a plan to avenge Hannah. As with the “usual place” he mentioned, it was the most exclusive nightclub in the city—Paradise.

Not long after that, the private room where Jason was in was filled with people, both males, and females, who were around the age of Jason. All of them were dressed in an exceptionally lavish style which showed their manifest identity as the heirs and heiresses of affluent families.

“Someone bullied my sister. What do you think I should do about it?”

Jason lay back on the sofa and asked them in a straightforward manner.

“Bullied your sister? Fck that btch!” Said one of the short-tempered youngsters.

“Fck, all you know is fck. But what happens after that? I say we use our brains and deal with her step by step, leaving her with no chance to rise ever again,” uttered another young man who seemed mild-mannered and gentle.

“No, wait a minute. When did you have a sister?” Asked a woman who dressed in very manly attire.

As soon as the question was asked, the entire private room went silent and all of those who were present had their eyes fixated on Jason. Evidently, all of them were inquisitive about it.

Seeing as such, Jason uncrossed his legs, and after a momentary pause, he explained, “Actually, she’s kind of like a sister-in-law to me as she’s married to Fabian. All of you must have known that it was Fabian’s wedding day today, but someone had plotted a car crash and it happened right in front of my eyes!”

Jason described what had happened very truthfully. These people in the room sitting together with him had been his friends since middle school and high school. Hence, he could rely on them.

“You’re talking about Fabian’s wife?”

“It can’t be. How could anyone dare to touch his woman?”

“Why are we still discussing here? Let’s find a car and cripple that jerk first.”

…

Listening to the jabber ringing across the room as everyone tried to voice their opinions, Jason waved his hand to subdue them and said, “Alright, let’s pipe down. I’ve already thought about it. I can’t let this person off the hook so easily. Listen to my instructions…”

As they heard Jason speaking again, everyone fell silent and came closer to him.

As Jason was busy making arrangements, he received a call from Hannah. “Hello, Hannah?”

“Jason, where are you? Come over to my house now. Fabian is looking for you.”

“What? Fabian is looking for me?” Gazing around his buddies in the room, he answered shortly after, “Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

“Alright, you guys proceed with our plan. There’s something going on and I got to go now,” Jason told his friends as he hung up the phone.

Then, he left for the marital home of Fabian and Hannah.

In the car, Jason was contemplating something. He received news that it was Yvette who instructed someone else to induce the accident, but in his mind, he was still very suspicious of Lyna. What really happened? Can it really be that this matter has nothing to do with Lyna and that I’ve actually misunderstood her?

But it can’t be. Jason didn’t think that the matter was as simple as it seemed. He kept replaying the scenes when the accident happened in his mind.

He was in the car in front of Fabian’s car, and when he realized what had happened, Fabian’s car had already skewed toward one side.

There were two cars at the scene and if both cars shot at Fabian’s car at the same time, Fabian wouldn’t have escaped. One of the cars must have been slower.

Wait a minute. There could have been two different groups of people behind those two cars. Ah, one group was instructed by Yvette, and another by Lyna.

That’s right! It becomes much more reasonable now if that’s the case.

Jason nodded his head lightly in the car and thought he could analyze it together with Fabian when he reached there. Sure enough, the amount of information he got could never come close to that of what Fabian received. Maybe Fabian has already found out about the two groups of people behind the car crash.

Very soon, Jason reached Fabian’s place. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a cab stopping in front of him, and Helen came out of the cab soon after.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1266

“Why are you here?”

As soon as Helen pushed the car door open, she saw Jason who was about to go in, so she asked in surprise.

“Why can’t I come, huh? So you’re allowed to come to visit your sister and I’m not allowed to visit Fabian? Also, it’s Hannah who called me over this time!” Rather displeased, Jason replied.

“Well, of course you’re allowed to. Let’s go in.”

With that, Helen strode forward to the villa and couldn’t help taking larger and quicker steps.

She had a guilty conscience as she knew exactly why Hannah called him over. It must have been because Hannah was afraid that he would stir up troubles.

“Tsk. Why is she in such a hurry?”

Looking at Helen walking at such a hurried pace, Jason couldn’t help twitching his lips.

Helen knocked on the door, and it was Fabian who opened the door for her. Hannah must be embarrassed to leave the room because she has no clothes to wear. Thinking of that, Helen laughed softly and asked Fabian, “Fabian, where’s Hannah?”

“Oh, Hannah’s in the bedroom.”

Fabian pointed at the room which Hannah was in as he answered and was about to close the door.

“Fabian, hold on. There’s still me.”

Jason called out quickly, but he couldn’t refrain from complaining within his mind. Hey, why does he only see her? Hello? I’m right behind her.

“Why are you here, too?”

Fabian wasn’t very surprised to see Helen, and when he saw the bag Helen was carrying, he knew Helen had come to bring Hannah some clothes for change. But what is Jason here for?

“I… I was called upon by Hannah.”

Jason was a little irritated. Why? Can’t I just come for a visit? Must there be some issues going on then only I’m allowed here? What an ingrate of a man. He forgot about me as soon as he got himself a wife.

“Hannah asked you to come, huh? Well, come on in then.”

Fabian was a little curious as to why Hannah had asked Jason to come.

When Helen got to Hannah’s room, she noticed that it was locked, so she called out softly, “Hannah?”

Upon hearing that, Hannah got off the bed, wrapping herself in the towel, and opened the door.

“Hannah, why do you have to lock the door?” Helen couldn’t help but ask.

“Err, I… I’m used to living by myself. It’s a habit. It’s just a habit,” Hannah explained in embarrassment. At the same time, she took the bag from Helen and led her to the bedside.

“I see. Alright then.” Helen didn’t say anything else.

“You said that Jason had found the person who tried to kill me. Are you sure? Who’s that?”

Hannah took out the undergarment Helen had prepared for her, pulled the towel off, and started putting it on.

They had been sharing a bedroom since young, so naturally, Hannah had no qualms changing in front of her sister.

“Oh, it was Jason who received the information, but judging from his tone, it should be accurate. Anyway, I’m not too sure, but I do know who it was. It’s the celebrity who always stars in period dramas— Yvette!” Helen told Hannah.

“What? It’s her!”

At that moment, Hannah had already put on the undergarment and was taking other clothes out of the bag, but as she heard that, her hand paused mid-air for a while.

However, she came round it very soon and continued to dress herself up. She wasn’t very surprised by the fact that Yvette was trying to harm her. That woman and her assistant have been making all sorts of bitter remarks in front of me every time they see me, and they’ve always sounded crude and harsh. Besides, she was so complacent when she was together with Fabian and acted as though she was his wife.

“Hannah, I really don’t understand what that woman has to do with you. She’s an actor. What was she coming against you for? Why didn’t she just get herself together and play her role in the drama?”

Helen knew nothing about the matter so it was understandable that she would feel strange about it.

“It’s all because of Fabian!” Hannah couldn’t help but grumble.

She could still remember carrying the camera under the scorching sun and watched the two of them being so intimate with one another.

“Fabian? What do you mean?”

Helen was more confused. What does this have to do with Fabian?

“Oh, nothing. It’s nothing.”

Hannah quickly glossed over it, and it was only then did she realized she let it slip. She didn’t want Helen to have a bad impression of Fabian.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1267

“Was it because Fabian was actually the rumored boyfriend of Yvette, and so she plotted the car crash out of jealousy?” In a flash, Helen got her head around it and asked Hannah.

“Err, no. Don’t simply guess.” Hannah denied it very quickly.

But then, she realized that a simple search on the internet would reveal everything to Helen. I’ll be screwed if she finds out about it.

“Well, what actually happened was that Yvette has close ties with one of Fabian’s clients, and that client asked Fabian to help boost the popularity and fame of Yvette. It’s nothing like what you said.” An idea occurred to Hannah all of a sudden, so she explained it to Helen.

Oh God, please forgive me. It’s a white lie, and I don’t mean to deceive her. Please don’t punish me.

“Then why was Yvette plotting against you? She even went to the extent of killing you,” Helen asked again.

“Erm, Fabian had no problem with that, but Yvette was so into it she couldn’t help falling for Fabian.” Hannah tried to exculpate Fabian again.

Sigh. Fabian, I’ve told so many lies because of you. I hope, for my sake, you’ll cut down on making the headlines. Otherwise, I’ll run out of ideas to absolve you of it.

Thinking of how frequently Fabian appeared on the headlines, Hannah couldn’t help feeling frustrated. How am I supposed to explain to my family if they ask about it?

Hannah let out a sigh at that. Well, we’ll see when the time comes.

“Ah, so that’s what happened. I can’t believe Yvette is this sort of person. I’ll stop watching her dramas from now on. Also, why did you summon Jason over? You should have let Jason teach her a lesson.”

Helen was exceedingly irritated and wanted to knock the daylights out of Yvette so badly to get back at her for Hannah.

To Helen, no one is allowed to hurt Hannah, not even Fabian.

On the previous day, Helen said to Hannah in private, “After you’re married to Fabian, if he bullies you, please don’t tell me at once unless it’s something serious.”

In response, Hannah jokingly asked, “Why? Didn’t you say that you’ll side me and help me get back at him? You’re getting cold feet when it really happens, huh?”

However, Helen answered in a solemn manner, “It’s not that I’m afraid. It’s just that it’s common for young couples to have conflicts and quarrels, but you’ll reconcile eventually and everything will be alright. Nevertheless, the same might not apply to me. You’ll be fine after your fight, but I’ll still hold grudges against him.”

That almost brought tears to Hannah’s eyes. She was very touched listening to Helen.

“Why did Hannah ask you to come?” Fabian lay back on the sofa and asked Jason.

“I don’t know either. I was occupied with something important and I got a call from Hannah. I’m also wondering now,” Shaking his head, Jason answered.

“What important business can you have?” Fabian asked placidly and pondered about it.

Why did Hannah ask him to come here?

“Why can’t I have anything important? Look at the way you said that. I’m…” Jason countered him unhappily.

However, just as he was about to reveal his arrangement, he was afraid that Fabian would worry about him and stop him from executing his plan so he snapped his mouth shut abruptly. Immediately after that, he changed the subject and asked, “Fabian, have you found out who tried to harm Hannah?”

“Yeah. I’ve got some information now,” Fabian nodded as he answered.

“Is it Yvette?” Jason was desperate to know the answer.

It was in that instant that Fabian realized all at once why Hannah had called Jason over. Looking at Jason, Fabian couldn’t help but smile. This guy actually investigated this matter. He’s indeed thoughtful.

“Fabian, answer me. Is it her?” Seeing that Fabian did not answer him, Jason pressed on.

“Yes!” Fabian replied in the affirmative.

“Oh, right, you were saying that Jason is here?”

After changing into the clothes that Helen brought her, Hannah suddenly remembered that Helen had mentioned Jason’s arrival.

“Yes. Jason reached at the same time as me. He’s outside now,” Helen replied.

“Alright. Let’s go out now. We should discuss this matter as well. You better don’t talk nonsense when we get out later. We should focus on persuading Jason to not cause trouble,” Hannah told Helen.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1268

Rolling her eyes, Helen had other plans in her mind. Since Yvette had crossed the line and tried to kill her sister, Helen had no problem at all with whatever Jason wanted to do to her.

I’ll fully support Jason when the time comes. How dare Yvette go against my sister!

After that, Helen left the room with Hannah.

“Jason, here you are.” As soon as Hannah came out of the room, she called out to Jason.

“Yes, Hannah. What’s the matter? Why did you ask me to come?” In response, Jason asked Hannah.

Helen was a little awkward at that moment. If she knew that Yvette was so execrable, she wouldn’t have told Hannah about it. She thought it was a sticky situation, so at that moment, when she saw Jason, she had a guilty conscience.

Thinking of that, Helen sat right next to Fabian and smiled at him as she called out to him, “Fabian.”

There was another half of the sentence which she didn’t articulate. If anything happens later, please help me.

Fabian nodded as he understood instantly when he saw Helen looking at him with her pleading eyes.

“I heard that… You’ve found out the culprit behind the car crash?”

Hannah sat beside Jason and asked.

Jason didn’t answer. Instead, he eyed Helen with a disdainful and exasperated expression. I trusted you with my plan and told you not to tell Hannah about it. And what a traitor you are. You just turned your back on me and sold me out.

Looking at the piercing glint in Jason’s eyes and the expression on his face which suggested that he would eat her alive, Helen couldn’t help but draw herself closer to Fabian.

“Jason, have you found out about it?” Fabian also questioned him.

“I… I did.”

All of a sudden, Jason felt like someone had rained on his parade. Great. All my efforts will be going to waste again. Just look at how Hannah reacted. She even called me over purposely just for this. I’m sure she’s going to stop me from doing things.

Jason prayed internally that his best friends would speed up and get their plan executed before Hannah started being frank about that matter and held him back.

“Oh? Who was it?” Hannah feigned surprise as she asked Jason.

“Who? Didn’t she already tell you everything?” Jason glared at Helen and asked displeasedly.

“Ah, you mean Yvette? Are you sure about this?”

Hannah coughed dryly in embarrassment. She then proceeded with asking the question in a solemn manner. There must be no mistake made in this matter. If we do anything wrong, it will cause huge trouble.

“I’m sure it’s her,” Jason sounded very certain. At the same time, he cast his eyes at Fabian.

Seeing that Hannah also turned to look at him with a questioning gaze, Fabian nodded and said, “It’s her indeed.”

So Fabian has also found out about this, but he kept it from me. He must be planning to deal with Yvette secretly on his own.

Hannah paused for a brief moment and looked at the two men as she continued, “I think we should hand it over to the police directly and let them handle it.”

Seeing as such, Jason was the first to stand up and object to it. “No way. I disagree. If we let the police deal with it, the punishment would be lenient. Besides, the person involved is dead. With Yvette’s net worth, she would definitely be able to conceal the matter with money.”

“I disagree, too. Jason is right. That would be too light a punishment for Yvette.” At that moment, Helen also voiced out against it and stated her stance.

Listening to that, Jason took a gander at her. I can’t believe this little girl is having the same stance as me.

However, Hannah was a little disgruntled, and the way she looked at Helen was with a trace of reproach. Didn’t I just tell you to help me persuade Jason? You’re really something. Not only did you not help, but you’re even messing around together with him.

“Well, same here.” Even Fabian agreed with Jason and Helen in that instance.

Seeing that even Fabian supported them, Jason and Helen couldn’t help getting excited. With Fabian’s support, we’re halfway there.

“Hannah, since she has done that and tried to kill you, why are you still speaking up for her?” Helen took the initiative to persuade her sister.

“That’s right, Hannah. I know that you’re kind, but acting this way isn’t really kind to yourself. You’re basically telling others that we’re some punching bag. There’ll only be more people putting the screws on you in the future. If we allow this sort of thing to happen a few more times, we’ll be doomed someday,” Jason took the chance to express his opinion.

“I-I really don’t want that. I think that’s too hard on Yvette,” Hannah countered.

“Well, she should have realized what she was signing up for from the moment she tried to bully my woman,” Fabian answered placidly as he toyed with his own fingers.

“That’s right. She deserves it. I don’t think it’s harsh at all,” Helen added after Fabian.

“Helen, stop it! Even though she was way over the line, is there any difference between us and her if we deal with her in the same way? Remember what happened with Regina last time? Now, in the company, other than a few colleagues who are close with me, everyone else is afraid of me! Plus, that incident is a burden that is weighing down on me until this day! I’m still having the same nightmare every now and then!” Hannah exclaimed in an agitated tone.

In fact, she was rather soft-hearted at that time, but she knew all too well that Yvette would experience something worse than death if she let Fabian handle it. It had already happened once before, and she didn’t want it to happen again. That was something she didn’t want to see.

Right then, listening to what Hannah said, the other three persons fell silent. None of them knew what to say.

Fabian recalled the times when Hannah was having a nightmare. Her face paled in fear, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead. His heart ached every time he saw her in such agony. And for this reason, he even made some donations in particular. It took some time for Hannah to finally ease up.

“I’ve always listened to you in the past. Will you listen to me this time?”

Hannah knew very well that once she succeeded in persuading Fabian, Jason would naturally terminate his plan.

After moments of deliberation, Fabian started, “Alright. I give you my word.”

Hannah let out a breath of relief upon hearing that, and just as she was about to say something, Fabian cut her off. “But you have to promise me one thing, otherwise, we can forget about this.”

“Sure. What is it?”

“If anything like this ever happens again in the future, you have to listen to me.”

“Okay, I promise you,” Hannah agreed swiftly.

Fabian is convinced at last.

“Fabian!” Jason called out to Fabian. Apparently, he was still rather reluctant to accept that.

“Alright, enough said. You have to take Hannah’s perspective into consideration as well.” Fabian’s tone turned solemn as he spoke to Jason.

“I… Sigh!”

Jason heaved a sigh and slammed his fist hard. He then took out his phone and called his buddy. “Hello, you don’t have to carry on with our plan anymore. Go have some fun!”

Everyone at the scene understood the implication of Jason’s words. Feeling a little guilty, Hannah said to him, “Jason, just treat it as a favor you’ve done me by calling it off. Thank you for that.”

Helen was also a little bothered at that instant. She was all about avenging her sister but she failed to take care of Hannah’s inner feelings. Hence, she said to Hannah, “Hannah, I’m sorry for being impulsive just now.”

“It’s alright. It’s okay now. Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s time to eat now. Why don’t we go for a meal together?” Fabian tried to ease the atmosphere and helped Helen out as well.

“How’s it? Do you understand what I said?” In the private room of a tea house, Lyna asked Yvette.

“Yes, I understood now. But who’s the right fit for that thing you mentioned?” Yvette nodded, but then quickly shook her head again and asked.

What? That’s such a simple thing, and yet you have to ask me about it?

“Just simply find someone attractive. When the time comes, tell her that she’ll become the leading actress as long as she’s willing to do it,” Lyna was a little impatient as she answered.

“Alright, I got it. Thank you.”

Yvette was sincere when she expressed her gratitude toward Lyna. If it wasn’t for her, she would never be fully prepared.

“We’ll be in the same boat from now on, so you don’t have to say that.”

Lyna was also very satisfied with Yvette. What she did was under the considerations that Yvette would continue to serve her. Otherwise, if Yvette was arrested, she wouldn’t be able to cooperate with her anymore.

“Oh, right, you better take action tonight. I have a feeling that Fabian would act soon, perhaps tomorrow,” Lyna reminded her.

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1270

“Sure. If there’s nothing else, I shall leave first to get the things done.”

As Yvette thought about it, she was a little frightened. That was because without proper preparations, with Fabian’s power, she might have to suffer, or worse…

“Okay, get going.”

After Yvette left the private room, Lyna couldn’t help but start to laugh. “What a foolish woman. She’s actually pleased when in fact, she has been taken advantage of by me. That’s not the Yvette I heard about. She must have been awfully terrified by Fabian.”

Lyna was fully prepared. She had been very meticulous all along and up till then, Fabian had no clue that she was related to all those matters. Now that there was an additional line of defense for her, she could set off to do other things with peace of mind.

“Fabian, you’re indeed a formidable opponent. There really aren’t many people who dare to challenge you in Chanaea. But since you’ve treated me in such a way, it doesn’t matter even if I have to risk my life to contend you.” Lyna grimaced all of a sudden.

She hated Fabian to the core. If it wasn’t for him, there wouldn’t be anyone fighting over the inheritance with her then, and she, too, wouldn’t have to listen to her father mentioning ‘Hannah’ every now and then.

“Hannah, let’s see if you would be able to escape again without Fabian to protect you this time.”

With that, Lyna threw the bracelet she was fiddling with forcefully to the ground. She then stood up and paced outside.

After their meal, for the very first time, Fabian decided to take Hannah and the others to the nightclub. His reason was to introduce Hannah to his social circle.

Upon hearing that, Hannah was a little embarrassed, but at the same time, she was also excited. She felt very conflicted within herself as she wanted to know more about Fabian and integrate into his life, but she was also a little bashful.

On the contrary, Helen was audacious and lively. As soon as she heard that Fabian was going to bring them to the nightclub, she was thrilled. Whoa, I’ve never been to such a place before.

“Fabian, since we’re going to the nightclub, let’s go to Bluebird. I heard there’s an auction there tonight. I was prepared to join in the fun as well,” Jason suggested.

“Sure, why not?” Fabian nodded.

Listening to what Jason said, Fabian was reminded that ever since he got married to Hannah, he had yet to gift her anything. Hence, he might as well take the opportunity at the auction to bid for something meaningful to present to her.

Then, Fabian made a call to his best friend and asked him to contact some people from his circle.

Fabian asked Jason to depart with Helen first while he and Hannah went home to change.

Earlier that day, Helen had brought her own clothes for Hannah. She was clad in a casual t-shirt, ripped jeans, and a pair of black canvas sneakers. How could Fabian let her dress in such a way to see his friends?

“Err… Well, are all your friends some business moguls?” Hannah asked hesitantly.

She didn’t lack self-confidence, but instead, it was because Fabian had a very special place in her heart, and she was afraid of making him embarrassed.

“Not every one of them,” Fabian replied in a placid tone.

Phew! It’s better still that there are one or two ordinary people among them. Otherwise, I would really have nothing to talk to them about.

“Some are from the hospital or government sectors,” added Fabian.

Hannah coughed abruptly upon hearing that.

Hannah was abashed for a moment. She thought that there might be some of them who were just ordinary white-collar workers like herself. Hence, she couldn’t help feeling awkward as she heard Fabian’s reply. What freaking common topic can I have with these people?

“Why don’t you wear this?” Fabian didn’t think much and pointed at a satin gown as he turned to Hannah and said.

“Okay.” Hannah nodded in amazement.

Fabian is actually helping me to pick an outfit? Has the Earth shifted on its axis?

With that, she looked out of the window, trying to figure out if it was really the case.

“Hey, over here!”

As soon as Jason reached the entrance of Bluebird nightclub, he shouted at a few youngsters.

“Oh, Jason has arrived. Let’s go over.”

With that, the few youngsters walked over to Jason.
