The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 466

Percival ended the call with a snap.

He tapped the back of the driver's seat. "Thomas, write up an apology."

Thomas nearly choked on his own spit, glancing at the rear-view mirror. "Yes, sir."

One rank up in the hierarchy could crush a man, and boy, did Thomas get that now!

Percival drew Vivienne back into his embrace, his fingertips gently caressing the palm of her hand, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking I should pay Jasper a visit," Vivienne answered, her expression unreadable.

Percival was on the same page. "Thomas, drive us to the Perez residence."

Soon enough, Thomas pulled the car to the curb near the Perez residence.

"Sure you don't need me to come with you?" Percival asked.

Vivienne shook her head. "No need. I can manage on my own."

Percival did not insist, watching as Vivienne headed toward the stately Perez mansion and then signaling Thomas to drive off.

As Vivienne walked, the air carried the faint scent of locust blossoms.

Jasper had good taste, that was for sure. Even though he had bought the mansion on a whim, its location was prime-tucked away amidst the chaos, surrounded by natural locust trees. When the wind blew, the whole courtyard was fragrant.

Approaching the Perez Mansion, Vivienne took out her phone.

On it was a report from Matthew, sent the night before.

A paternity test report between her and Yuri.

The results showed a 58.99% probability of a parental relationship-affirming a blood connection.

That number was enough proof of her kinship with the Perez family. At the very least, Yuri could be her uncle.

But she could not be entirely sure.
