The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 79

Chapter 79

The Hawthorn clan was all worked up. They had high hopes that Vivienne’s dowry would revive their family’s fortune. But who could’ve guessed that the Ellingtons only coughed up a meager 88K? How could they swallow that?

So some relatives started grumbling, “You Ellingtons are such cheapskates! Even if the Hawthoms are just regular folks, 88K as a wedding gift is way too stingy. That’s just not on!”

“Did you lower the dowry to 88K just because Percival’s leg is healed? That’s low, even for you. You were willing to give 10 million when Percival was ill. But now that his leg’s all good, you’ve slashed the dowry. That’s not right!”

Everyone was chiming in, not giving Richard a chance to get a word in edgewise.

Arabella was shocked at the 88K dowry, but secretly, she was thrilled.

So what if Vivienne was a real Hawthorn? To the Ellingtons, she was only worth 88K.

Now, with Percival’s leg healed, they cared even less about Vivienne. Looked like she still had

a shot at winning this match.
