The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 25

At the Hawthorn’s residence.

Arabella just got home from school, in a great mood. As soon as she walked in, she ran up to Beatrice, handed her the test paper, and said, “Granny, I got my mock exam results. I ranked sixth in my grade and twentieth citywide. My teacher said I might be able to apply to Prospera University.”

“Really?” Beatrice took the test paper and looked at the score, her face lighting up, “Awesome! We’re finally going to have the first Prospera University student in our family.”

Arabella smiled and said, “I’ll work even harder. I hope to be the top student in Havenwood.”

“Good! That’s my granddaughter, you should have this spirit!” Beatrice said happily.

Right then, the maid walked over and said, “Ma’am, Percival and Leopold are here.”

Beatrice’s face changed, “They must be here for tomorrow’s engagement, but we haven’t sorted out Vivienne’s problem yet.”

Arabella pursed her lips and whispered, “Granny, don’t worry yet. The engagement is tomorrow, right? We still have a chance tonight at Octavia’s birthday.” “That’s correct.” Beatrice adjusted her expression and said to the maid, “Let them in.”

In a bit, the maid led Percival and his party in. Percival was still in his wheelchair, pushed by Thomas. Leopold, a rich kid, was standing casually to one side.

Beatrice glanced at them with a flash of disdain in her eyes, but she plastered on a smile. “Mr. Ellington, what brings you here today?”

“I came specifically today to thank Miss Arabella for saving my sister’s life.” Percival’s tone was softer than usual.
