The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 447

The note on it was terse, just two words scrawled in a hasty script: [Appraisal, wrong!]

It was a clear message that the appraisal they had was incorrect.

They knew that many were searching for Sasha, and word of this was common knowledge amongst the ancient warrior lineages. However, no one knew that they believed Vivienne to be Sasha's child and had even gone as far as to do a paternity test with her.

The person who slipped the paper to Jasper obviously knew their family affairs like the back of his hand.

This was not good news.

"I found it on my pillow when I woke up two days ago," Jasper said, lifting his eyes to meet his son's, a wry chuckle escaping his lips. "Funny, isn't it? Someone got into my room right under your noses, and nobody noticed!"

Yuri broke out in a cold sweat. "Dad! Why didn't you mention something this serious earlier?"

"That person harbors no ill will."

Jasper knew he might not have been alive to tell the tale if there had been any malice.

"But you should have told us so we could beef up security," Yuri protested, visibly shaken.

Jasper was unharmed, but if something had happened, his siblings would have torn him apart.

"But Willa, she..."

Before Yuri could finish, Jasper cut him off with a commanding tone, "Once she conducts the test, I'll let her walk away from the Perez family."

Yuri opened his mouth to speak, but Jasper's icy stare silenced him. He sighed, "Understood."

Jasper glanced at him and added, "Go to Vivienne. Get blood, hair, saliva-anything that can be tested."

Yuri twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Isn't that a bit intrusive?"
