The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 32

Dorian shot up from his seat, stared at Percival angrily.

Tightly clenching his fists, he spat out, “Are you threatening Vivienne? Let me tell you straight, while others might be scared of you, I ain’t. Don’t you dare force my little girl to marry you, I won’t allow it!”

Cordelia chimed in with a nod, “Damn right, I’m in for the fight too.”

Vivienne pulled Dorian back, whispering, “Dad, chill. I agreed to get engaged with him willingly.”

At this, Dorian and Cordelia were both floored, too stunned to react.

Once she gathered herself, Cordelia stammered, “Vivienne, didn’t you say you didn’t want to marry him? What’s up now… Did he threaten you? Don’t be scared, tell us. Your dad and I might not have any special powers, but we won’t let you marry someone you don’t want to.”

After speaking, Cordelia shot Percival a death glare. “If he did threaten you, we’ll sue his ass. I don’t care how much power and influence his family has, they can’t break the law.”

Dorian didn’t say anything, but the way he was glaring at Percival, it was as if he wanted to kill him.

How dare he do this to his daughter. Bastard!

Percival wanted to shout at them.

Threaten? I didn’t, I really didn’t. You’re misunderstanding.

Vivienne rubbed her temples, “He didn’t threaten me. I just want to get engaged with him.”

Dorian didn’t know what to say.

If Vivienne wanted to get married, he had no reason to stop her.

But Percival…

He glanced at Percival’s leg, the guy’s disabled. Could he protect Vivienne?

And Vivienne didn’t seem like the type to take shit from anyone.
