The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 254

Especially Scott and Timothy Brooks.

Scott was the head of the Brooks family, and Timothy was also seen as a leader by the youngsters, yet they were both helpless against Paula.

Paula, on the other hand, was rather intimidated by Baron. As soon as she saw him, she would immediately shy away

and keep quiet.

Baron, however, had no intention of letting her off lightly. “I heard you wanted Vivienne to give the stone she acquired to the family.” He asked.

On his way here, Baron had already made a phone call to one of their servants, getting a full rundown of the situation.

Paula flinched and tried to explain. “Dad, I just…”

“Answer me! Is it true or not?” Baron, a veteran of the business battlefield, possessed an aura of unyielding authority. His words alone were enough to make Paula tremble.

“Yes.” Paula confessed, her voice barely a whisper.

“Good!” Baron nodded, then suddenly slapped Paula across the face. “When did you get the right to interfere in our family’s affairs? Just because I’ve been in a nursing home these past years and haven’t been able to deal with you, you think you can do whatever you want?”

Paula clutched her slapped cheek as her face reddened with anger.

But when Baron hit her, she could not say a word.

“Pack your bags and leave! Without my permission, you’re not allowed to return to here ever again!” Baron ordered her to leave in a stern voice.

His wife was too soft–hearted. Every time Paula caused trouble, she turned a blind eye. It was all because Paula had
