The Million-Dollar Heart

Cathy’s face turned ashen, and she swallowed down everything she had intended to say.

But inside, she was seething. Her glare toward Vivienne was as sharp as a blade.

She could put up with Percival’s incompetence, but Vivienne, a country bumpkin who thought she could steal the affections of Richard?

In her dreams!

Since Vivienne had decided to visit on short notice, not everyone in the Ellington family

was present.

Only Ryan’s family, who had heard the news, and a few women whom his wife, Cathy, had purposely stirred up to embarrass Vivienne were there.

They were almost choked with rage at the sight.

“Alright, alright, everyone disperse. I want to have a word with Vivienne.” Richard waved his hand, indicating that everyone should leave the room.

Paul felt a rush of anger. “When I brought Lisa home last time, you weren’t this welcoming, Grandpa.”

Richard glanced at him. “Who did you bring home? Can she even compare to Vivienne?”

“And why can’t she compare? Lisa is much more polite than this girl. She even brought you a gift. Have you forgotten?” Paul countered.

Upon hearing this, Richard became livid. “You have the audacity to talk about gifts? What a load of crap!”

Paul remembered that when he brought Lisa last time, she had gifted Richard a kidney supplement.

She thought it would help the old man regain his strength. What was wrong with that?

After watching Paul being scolded, Cathy quickly jumped in. “Whether good or bad, it was a heartfelt gesture from Paul and his girlfriend. How can you not appreciate it, Dad? We aren’t greedy, but as a wealthy family, we should observe some manners.”

Richard was about to fire back when Percival suddenly spoke. “Grandpa, Vivienne has brought you a gift.”

He gave Thomas a nod, who immediately brought the gift over.

Richard, this is a special gift prepared by Vivienne for you.”
