The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 508

Vivienne squinted her eyes, recalling the day her mother took her own life. Several prominent families had been spotted around their residence at the time. One of those was the Ashford family.

Back then, the Rivenwood Ashfords came up in her search. Having thoroughly investigated them after arriving in Rivenwood, she found nothing amiss. But the Ashfords of Sea City were a different story; she had not looked into them yet.

She had checked out the Churchills and the Pendletons, who had also been present that day, and found nothing noteworthy.

Only the Ashfords...

A sly smile played on Vivienne's lips.

After lying low for so long, they were finally showing themselves.

This was getting interesting.

Vivienne's gaze returned to the present as she suddenly asked, "What about the Perez family? Any sightings of them?"

Thomas shook his head, "No, not that we've found. The Perezes are well-entrenched; their dealings are not so easily uncovered."

She nodded in understanding. If the Perezes also had a research facility, it would make her work in Sea City all the more convenient.

Percival flipped through the dossiers Thomas had compiled, his eyes lingering on the biotech companies' transactions. The Boyds seemed to have only recently connected with the Ashfords, and there was more to their business than met the eye.

"It seems we'll be dealing with the Ashfords more closely," Percival remarked, his brow furrowed with distaste.

Dealing with the Ashfords meant entanglements with Gillian, a thought he found repulsive.

The memory of having to lightly push Gillian away, even with a towel separating them, made him feel unclean.

He would need a long, thorough shower tonight to wash away the feeling.
