The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 335

Mark hadn’t come home again Paula tried calling him numerous times throughout the night, but to no

avail

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable” The automated female voice once again

echoed in her ear

Frustrated Paula threw her phone onto the bed and was just about to take a shower when suddenly,

someone climbed in through the balcony window

“Ah Paula let out a scream, only to have it muffled when someone covered her mouth with a cloth. After

a brief struggle she felt dizzy and farted

When Paula finally came to she found herself looking into the eyes of Vivienne and Percival

She was bound and could not move

She struggled and glared at Vivienne with hatred in her eyes Vivienne you little witch! What do you

want with me? I’m warning you; you better let me

Vivienne stood over her while looking down calmly Didn’t you want to know where Arabella is? I can

take you to her

Paula was taken aback. You would do that? Out of the kindness of your heart?

Heh Vivienne laughed Tve always been rather kind

Right She would never admit that she wasn’t a kind person

“Where is she?” Paula asked impatiently

“She’s

Vivienne deliberately trailed off as her eyes twinkled with amusement in a certain state, entertaining

clients, I believe

Upon hearing this Paula started shaking with rage Vonenne” How dare you? How dare you do this to

my Katara

Vivienne just shrugged as she wore a smirk on her face Paula, you’re being rather ungrateful I was just

trying to save Katara

“You re full of crap! You sent her to that place, and you have the nerve to say you saved her? Paula

was beside herself with anger

She was right

It was Vivienne

While she was living the good life at the Brooks Mansion, she sent Katara to suffer in that hellhole

Entertaining clients

How could her Katara be doing such a thing?

“Katara tried to commit suicide several times but was always saved in the nick of time. Despite the scar

on her face, she knew how to use her assets and win over clients Now she’s the top girl in the state,

and she’s making a lot of money So, you see her laugh grew deeper. I did save her didn’t [7′′

“Ahhhh” Paula screamed at the top of her lungs “Vivienne, I will kill your

She struggled with all her might, but the person behind her kicked her to the ground and pinned her

down, rendering her immobile

She lost all rational thought and began hurling a barrage of insults at Vivienne

“You’ll pay for this! You’re just like your mother! You’re a cheap harlot who seduces men! Your mother’s

in hell, and you’ll join her soon! If you have the guts.

Il come after you for the rest of my life! I will avenge Katara!”

Vivienne just laughed. “You wont get the chance. Paula‘

Paula thought back to Vivienne’s earlier words about taking her to Arabella, and a wave of fear washed

over her

But then she burst into hysterical laughter Hahahal Scott lost Katara, and now she’s ended up like this,

but he never thought his own daughter would tum You didn’t come to find your family you came to bring

disaster to the Brooks family!

You’re just like your mother You’ll bring nothing but doom to the Brooks family its pitiful how my parents

think you’re a good person and ans laughable how have they are! God Why don you strike this little

witch down with lightning and let her join her mother?”

She continued her trade but Vivienne remained calm. She showed no signs of anger

Exhausted, Paula collapsed on the floor while continuing to glare al Vienne with pure hatred in her eyes

Seeing that she had stopped talking Vivienne crouched down and looked at her. After a pause, she

said. “) am not Scoffs

Paula’s eyes widened in shock. “You

Before she could ask anything else Vivienne had already stood up Take her away I don’t want her

coming back. She said

“Vel

Thomas replied without hesitation

Paule was hoisted up to her feel and dragged towards a ca

Suddenly she started scmaring hysterically Viviennel What’s your scheme? What are you planning

daughter. Let’s gun

12:39

With that Percival and Vivienne left.

The following days were quiet

Rowan and Ismene continued to play the part of Donan and Cordelia, coming and going freely while

staying at the Brooks Mansion

Meanwhile, the investigation into the missing infants led by Vivienne and Percival hadn’t yielded any

results yet

These past few days. Vivienne had been splitting her time between the lab, checking on her

experiments, and arranging the establishment of a new company with Donian

Rowan had previously attempted to swindle the perfume formula from Vivienne under the guise of

starting a company In reality, they had no intention of setting up a business, it was all a charade for

Vivienne’s benefit.

However it was undeniable that Dorian had a knack for business

In Havenwood Beatrice looked down on her meek son and was constantly suppressing him Little did

she know that the one with true potential was Dorian

In just a few days. Donan had already formulated a plan, located a suitable business premise, and

started recruiting staff

However, with Mr B still at large and the person who had been messaging Vivienne still unidentified,

Dorian had to keep the formation of his company under wraps.

The most pressing issue at the moment was Thaddeus education

Since Donan and Cordelia decided to stay in Rivenwood. Thaddeus could no longer attend Capital

Elementary School in Havenwood, especially since the school was on break

A few days ago. Vivienne had arranged for Thaddeus school transfer to Heston Elementary School in

Rivenwood, another prestigious institution

However Thaddeus had experienced constant abuse and kidnapping during his transition from

Havenwood to Rivenwood, causing him significant emotional distress. He was finding it difficult to fit in

with his new classmates

Furthermore, he was lagging behind his peers

Dorian and Cordelia were worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep up academically, so they asked

Vivienne to find a private tutor for him.

While Vivienne was capable of teaching him herself, she had her plate full with her lab work,

investigating the situation with GTO, and searching for the missing infants With so much on her plate,

Vivienne agreed to Donians request.
