The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 321

Ryan’s face suddenly fell. He might have thought his son was a good–for–nothing, but that didn’t give anyone else the right to criticize him, especially an outsider like

Vivienne

He said. ‘Dad, I’ve always respected your wishes, but today Vivienne has crossed a linel Shouldn’t you make a stand?”

“Yeah!” Cathy chimed in defiantly. “She’s been targeting us this entire time I don’t know if it’s because she’s jealous or if someone’s been pulling her strings!”

Vivienne was the daughter–in–law of Richard’s third son, namely Percival’s father, so naturally, she would side with Percival
