The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 347

Just as Vivienne had anticipated, Scott stepped out of the police station really quick

In no time, the police issued a statement clearing Scott of any criminal involvement in Karen’s deaths

Mila, too, was under scrutiny, yet no suspicious behavior was found.

Despite the police’s announcement, the netizen group wasn’t that easily swayed

Everyone posted that while Scott and Mila might not be murderers, their affair was undeniable Scott’s betrayal of Karen was just as damning The scandal continued to sizzle online

Scott and Mila’s reputations plummeted

Meanwhile, Richard only found out about Calista being Scott’s daughter the next day over lunch

Being a man of certain age he rarely surfed the internet Besides, he had spent the previous day outdoors with an old friend. The folks of the Ellington family, who wouldn’t want to bother Richard with such matters, had chosen to keep it a secret

By the time Richard returned home, the news had exploded online. There was no way he could ignore it now

Furious. Richard stormed off to the nursing home to give Baron a piece of his mind.

Baron was so stanied by Richard’s outburst that he nearly passed off

Fuming, Baron shot back at Scott at the Brooks Mansion, announcing that he would not attend Calista’s reunion banquet. After venting his anger, he returned to the nursing home

Upon his return, his fury had not subsided. To make matters worse, he found his room had been stripped bare!

Not even a bed was left in the room

Baron roared in anger, Richard You old fool, may lightning strike you down!”

Two days later.

The online slander against Scott and Mila had quietened down

Meanwhile. Scott had been making frequent trips to the hospital to visit Calista

Excluding Kala, Ronald, and Carl, the Brooks family’s enthusiasm for Vivienne had dwindled all of a sudden. They would greet her out of courtesy but the conversations
