The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 36

Vivienne was straight to the point with her comeback.

Percival and Thomas didn’t show much emotion, but Isolde looked confused. She tilted her head to look at Vivienne and asked in a childlike tone, “Vivienne, isn’t she a human?”

“Nope.” Vivienne answered frankly.

“Ha ha!” Leopold couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.

Vivienne, you’re a riot!

Isolde thought for a while, then asked, “Is she a ghost then? Why did she disappear when she went into the room with you? Did she use magic to disappear?”

After she said this, she felt something was off and corrected herself, “No, ghosts can’t use magic. They can only scare people.”

She then hid in Vivienne’s arms and pretended to be scared, “I’m scared! There’s a ghost!”

Although Isolde’s words were amusing, everyone in the room was smart. They all started thinking seriously about this.

But what they caught was Joseph, so Arabella claimed that Vivienne had drugged him.
