The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 166

At the Brooks family’s mansion.

Scott had just hung up the phone with Baron, his expression anything but pleasant.

“Did Richard tattle to your father again?” Judith asked, rubbing her temples in frustration.

“Yeah.” Scott massaged his temples, his face a picture of discomfort.

“What on earth was Tristan thinking?” Timothy boomed. “He was supposed to keep an eye on Arabella, not join in her trouble–making activity! Fighting with other students and getting himself half paralyzed? Is he crazy?”

“Big bro, why are you even bothering to find a top–notch doctor for him? I say let him stay paralyzed for life: it’ll save us the trouble once he’s healed.”

Scott sipped his coffee as his eyes narrowed. Years of navigating the corporate world had given him an aura of authority, even when seated.

Tristan was a boy Karen had saved years ago, and Scott had always had a soft spot for him because of it. Besides, Tristan was exceptionally capable and had made countless contributions to the Brooks family.

When news of Tristan’s severe injury reached Rivenwood, Scott immediately sent people to find a doctor for Tristan, despite the embarrassing circumstances that led to his injury.

However, after consulting several renowned doctors in Havenwood, all seemed hopeless. As a last resort, Scott posted a reward on the Dark Web and even tried to contact the famous Specter Healer through his connections.

“That’s enough.” Judith intervened. “If you want to blame someone, blame Tristan. What’s the point in venting at your brother?”

“Grandma.” Ashley, sitting next to Melissa, spun her eyes and asked with malicious intent, “So, are we still going to hold Arabella’s reunion party?”

Judith hesitated. Arabella had been back for a month now, and by all accounts, they should have held the reunion party by now, inviting all the major families in Rivenwood for a grand celebration.

But considering the trouble Arabella had caused, Judith was hesitant. After a moment’s thought, she said, “We’ll have it, of course. Since she’s in Havenwood, let’s hold it there.”

Ashley snickered to herself. If Arabella’s reunion party wasn’t held in Rivenwood, it would certainly raise questions about the legitimacy of her reunion among the other families.
