The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 265

The Ellington clan, besides Richard and Percival’s parents, didn’t even register on her radar. She couldn’t be bothered to spare them any thought

Whether the money spent on the stone came from her pocket or Percival’s was none of their business

This time, for Richard’s sake, she let it slide. But there wouldn’t be a next time

“By the way, I’m planning a party here in Rivenwood to formally introduce you to everyone.” Richard announced “Back in Havenwood, no one knew who you were There were always small–minded folks who relished feeling superior, so I want everyone to know that you’re my granddaughter–in–law If anyone tries to bother you, they’ll have to think twice”

With that, Richard turned to Percival “What do you think, kiddo?”

“I couldn’t agree more

Ever since Vivienne decided to come to Rivenwood, Percival had instructed Thomas to start preparing a feast.

“Great! It’s settled then Richard wrapped up the conversation, then turned to Cecilia. “You take care of the arrangements in the next few days. Let’s get this done sooner rather than later”

Afterward, Richard gave Vivienne a tour around the Ellington Mansion
