The Million-Dollar Heart

Vivienne paused for a moment, diligently racking her brain for any loopholes in the intricate scheme laid out before her. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She sprang to her feet and strode towards the door, bumping into Felix as she passed

Just as she was about to look up, she felt a strong pull dragging her away from Felix.

“Watch out” Percival said while holding her hand

Feliz’s gaze briefly lingered on their intertwined hands before he nodded in apology and continued on his path.

“Percival, do you have your laptop in your car? Vivienne asked abruptly

“No, it’s at home.” Percival replied, shaking his head.

“Then take me home now.” Without further explanation, Vivienne started towards the

elevator

“What happened?” Percival trailed after her with eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Ignoring his question, Vivienne rode in silence back to Bay Estates. As soon as they entered the house, she picked up the laptop from the couch and started reviewing the surveillance footage from the motel.

After discovering that a young woman had visited the room a day before Arabella had checked in, Vivienne delved deeper into the young woman’s background. She discovered that the woman had previously installed a hidden camera in the room to catch her husband cheating. With this information in mind, Vivienne quickly dialed Matthew.

“Pass the word along. Have the police release a statement about discovering a hidden camera in the room at the motel where the incident occurred.”

Being the efficient man he was, Matthew had the news circulated within half an hour. The internet was ablaze with discussions about the hidden camera found in the room where the
