The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 37

Beatrice and Arabella were gobsmacked by this unexpected turn of events, momentarily left speechless.

They didn’t expect that Percival would play the surveillance video of a corner, where there was no camera installed.

Who the hell had set up that camera?

This was so infuriating!

However, Beatrice had no time to figure out who was behind the camera, she had to deal with the pressing issue at hand.

As Beatrice was racking her brains for a solution, someone broke the silence among the guests, “I never thought that this talented lady of Havenwood would be so cold–hearted. The adopted daughter slip drugs to Ms. Vivienne. What was she trying to do, kill Ms. Vivienne?”

“She wouldn’t dare to kill someone, but she’d dare to ruin a girl’s reputation, can’t you see that? Beatrice and Arabella were here to catch her in the act. What does that mean? Weren’t they trying to hand Ms. Vivienne over to Mr. Ellington?”

“I’ve seen a lot of the dark side of wealthy families, but this kind of cruelty is a first for me. To go to such lengths for the Ellington family’s fortune, making her own granddaughter suffer, it’s really an eye–opener for me.”

“You’re right, even though the surveillance showed that Arabella made the maid drug Ms. Vivienne, who can guarantee that Beatrice wasn’t involved? Just look at the status of the Dorian family, it’s clear that Beatrice doesn’t like Vivienne, but she also doesn’t want to give up the Ellington’s fortune, that’s why she wanted to set up her granddaughter… We should stay away from the Hawthorn family in the future, who knows when we might get framed.”

The guests had been watching the developments in silence, like spectators on the sidelines.

When the surveillance video was played, they couldn’t hold back anymore and started discussing. Their discussions were so loud that Beatrice could hear everything.
