The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 230

Wasn’t this the house he used to rent for five hundred dollars a month?

How did it become Thaddeus’s?

“Did you also see Thaddeus name?” Cordelia looked up with confusion etched all over her face. I thought I was seeing things.”

The two were silent for a while, then it hit them.

Vivienne bought the house in Tranquil Estates!”

Cordelia, her eyes welling with tears, plunged into Dorian’s arms. “I knew a house for only five hundred a month in Tranquil Estates was too good to be true That girl, Vivienne.”

She felt so stupid Anyone with a grain of sense would know that a house in Tranquil Estates wouldn’t be rented out for just five hundred dollars a month. Moreover, this neighborhood had never been open to external renters.

Despite this, they had rented it at an incredibly low price.

It was Vivienne’s house.

Dorian held Cordelia as a lump began to lodge itself in his throat. He felt bad. He owed Karen and Vivienne so much, and despite his best efforts to make up for it, he kept accumulating more debt.

Tears kept streaming down Cordelia’s face. “Dorian, we can never repay Vivienne”

Dorian gently patted her head and whispered. “Then let’s just love her more in the future. I will work hard to build up my career so we can move to Rivenwood, where we can take care of her.”

“Okay” Cordelia said with a smile.
