The Million-Dollar Heart

Vivienne screenshotted the group chat and sent it to Griffin.

Husky Smasher: [I knew Charlotte's idea was right, oh Vivienne, I love you.]

Husky Smasher was Griffin's nickname.

Vivienne pinched the bridge of her nose, somewhat speechless.

This Griffin, coming up with such an idea. Vivienne could not tell if Griffin was torturing herself or Leopold.

During the day, Griffin had pulled her aside into a room and, with utmost seriousness, stated that marrying Leopold was a given after a kiss, but she did not want to pursue it in this manner and asked for her help.

Then she went on with a whole spiel.

About how, yes, she would marry, but it depended on whether Leopold even liked her.

If not, she would not insist. She would only marry Leopold if there were mutual affection.

So, she had to test the waters!

Hearing Griffin's lengthy explanation, Vivienne just asked whether she wanted to marry Leopold simply because of a kiss or if she genuinely liked him.

Full of righteous fervor, Griffin said, "Of course, it's because I like him! Why else would I let him kiss me? I am the proud heiress of the ancient warrior lineage, the Martinez family. I have my pride, and not just anyone can wed me!"

Vivienne was speechless.
