The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 278

Percival smirked “Even breaking his arms and legs won’t be enough”

Eddy lunged at Vivienne, but Percival held back. He watched as Vivienne’s silver needle plunged into Eddy’s flesh

He wasn’t a doctor, so he didn’t know where the needle had hit, but after watching the man go mad, he had to admit that Vivienne had quite the skill.

Moreover, no medical method could detect the presence of this poison
