The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 246

“Are you for real?” Ashley retorted while rolling her eyes at her brother “Carl’s defeat is Vivienne’s victory, not yours”

“And…” She pointed at the music player. “How on earth did you manage to make it through American Idol with this kind of taste in music?”

“What do you know?” Darren ran his fingers through his silver hair. “I made it thanks to my personal charm.”

“No wonder you immediately switched to acting, even though you got your break through a singing competition” Ashley snorted “You must have realized early on that you lacked the talent.”

“You.” Darren gritted his teeth. “I won’t stoop to your level!”
