The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 221

Percival had Beatrice’s family forcibly sent back to their rural home.

At first, they kicked up a fuss and refused to go. Percival’s men were not gentle, so Michael ended up with a broken leg. Only then did his family reluctantly agree to leave.

“Uh–huh” Vivienne’s eyes flickered with amusement as a mocking smile played on her lips.

After Arabella was hospitalized, people had been trying to get close to Vivienne to collect her hair or other samples. They were most likely sent by Scott to collect her DNA.

But they didn’t succeed.

“Do you want to return to the Brooks family?” Percival intertwined his fingers with hers as his grip tightened.
