The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 356
The room fell into a stunned silence as Vivienne's declaration hung in the air.
She had actually agreed to it?
How could she possibly agree?
Ever since her engagement to Percival, their interactions had been the subject of much scrutiny. Vivienne may have seemed aloof on the surface, but she treated Percival differently from everyone else. It was commonly believed that Vivienne held a fondness for him.
Yet, she had just consented to break off the engagement?
Kala and Carl sat with their mouths agape, words failing them.
Even Judith, Scott and Timothy were taken aback by Vivienne's ready acquiescence.
Particularly Judith. She had braced herself for a battle of words when she broached the subject. But to her astonishment, Vivienne had capitulated so easily with barely a sentence spoken.
Kala was the first to snap back to reality from the prolonged moment of shock. She hurried to Vivienne's side and took a seat, pleading, "Vivienne, think this through. I know it's upsetting that Scott is acknowledging Calista, but you can't just gamble with your happiness like this."
Kala grasped Vivienne's hand earnestly, trying to reason with her. She assumed Vivienne was agreeing to the annulment because of Calista.
But Vivienne simply turned to her with a sudden smile. "Seems like she's got quite the influence, doesn't she? Should we just indulge her?" she retorted.
Her smile was enchanting, and for a moment, Kala was utterly spellbound and forgetting to respond.
Judith, on the other hand, was relieved; a smile graced her face at last.
Vivienne was no longer at odds with her. She thought.
"Good! This is for the best. From now on the Brooks family can finally be at peace,. Nothing is better than family unity," she said with warmth in her voice. Calista, coming to her senses, quickly chimed in, "Sis, I've made a mistake. Whatever you need, just tell me. I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you." There was a hint of guilt on her face whereas it was tinged with a smug satisfaction. The thought of becoming Percival's woman filled her with a rush of exhilaration. Percival would ultimately be hers.
Vivienne scoffed and pulled out her cell phone, dialing Matthew.
He answered quickly and she got straight to the point, "Go to the Ellingtons. Annul the engagement."
