The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 34

In the corridor, many people were heading towards a room.

Beatrice was leading them, with Arabella and Octavia flanking her on either side.

Loads of guests were trailing behind her.

Dorian and Cordelia were squished at the back of the crowd, each of them clutching Thaddeus by the hand, looking worried sick.

Up front, Arabella was matching Beatrice’s pace, and said to her in a voice everyone could hear, “Granny, don’t be mad, I might have heard wrong. My sister wouldn’t do something like that.”

Beatrice shot her a glance and said, “You’re still defending her at this point? Arabella, you’re my top–notch granddaughter, but why are you always batting for Vivienne since she’s back? Today is Octavia’s birthday party, and Vivienne dares to do this at home, she’s absolutely insulting me.”

Although she said that, excitement was more visible on Beatrice’s face than anger.

Yes! Excitement!

After today, Vivienne must marry Percival!

Arabella wouldn’t have to marry a disabled guy, and the Ellington family could get some money, thinking about this, she was over the moon.

“It might be a misunderstanding!” Arabella, hiding the glint in her eyes, said, “My sister went to change clothes, maybe Mr. Ellington had something to discuss with her.”

“What misunderstanding?” Beatrice said indignantly, “You’re too soft–hearted! Mr. Ellington initially proposed to you, but when Vivienne came back, he fell for her. They’re the ones who messed up, but you became the victim.”

Beatrice glanced at the guests around them, raising her voice a bit, “Do you remember what they just said about you? Said you were delusional, he’s Vivienne’s fiancé yet you claimed he’s yours.“”

Arabella dropped her gaze, tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip, her voice was a bit choked, “Granny, I don’t care about those rumors.”
