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.

In front of everyone, Scott decided to hand Eddy over to the police

To outsiders, he appeared to be a righteous man who was willing to turn against his own family for the sake of his daughter. But Percival saw through it. Scott wanted to save Eddy

Once Eddy was in police custody, his life would be spared

Vivienne must have seen it too, that was why she decided to take matters into her own hands

Having been with Vivienne for so long, he knew she didn’t want blood on her hands, which was why she only crippled Eddy

But this punishment was far too lenient

Vivienne looked up at him as a smile suddenly spread across her face. You only saw me breaking his arms and legs, but did you not notice that I fed him my specially prepared poison?”

Percival froze. He hadn’t noticed

Vivienne chuckled but said nothing more

She had fed Eddy her special poison, shadowfall, when she attacked him.

This poison was refined from a hundred different toxic herbs. It was colorless and tasteless

Shadowfall wouldn’t instantly kill a person Instead, it would slowly take over their body. It would feel like a million bugs were gnawing away at them, ultimately affecting their brain and slowly turning them into a lunatic

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

At that moment, Percival handed her a piece of strawberry cake. She took a bite and said nonchalantly. “Soon, he’d be wishing for death
