The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 80

“Of course I’d accept it!”

Beatrice was about to respond right away, but upon seeing Vivienne’s frosty gaze, she felt as if something had clogged her throat, and she couldn’t utter a single word.

“Vivienne! What’s all this about?” Joseph angrily questioned her. “She’s your grandmother. How could you talk to her like that?”

Vivienne slightly curled her lips, elegantly tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before speaking slowly. “Joseph, if we were in a different place, I wouldn’t even bother talking to you with this much patience. Wanna give it a go?”

“You!” Joseph was left fuming and speechless.

That little imp, Vivienne, was yet again using the past to threaten him.

Whether she really had any evidence or not, he couldn’t take the risk.

Vivienne glanced indifferently at the Hawthorn family members and spoke in an icy tone, “I, Vivienne, have never acknowledged any connection to you, the Hawthorn family, except for Dorian and Cordelia. If you don’t get it, I don’t mind stirring up a buzz around the Hawthorn family again.”

Beatrice was taken aback. Vivienne knew too many secrets about the Hawthorns. They couldn’t let her blow things out of proportion.

Arabella spoke with a frozen expression. “We’re all family. Are you really going to take things this far? We’re your family, and the prosperity of the Hawthorn family is your prosperity. Accepting the dowry would elevate the Hawthorn family. Why are you trying to stop us from accepting it? You’re cutting off your own escape route. Do you get that?”

Vivienne smirked. “I don’t need to rely on anyone.”

She looked at Arabella as if she were looking at a fool.
