The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 539

Vivienne froze for a moment.

Was Maddox implying that she should carry on with this contract?

"Exactly as you're thinking," Maddox slid the contract toward Vivienne. "The Perez family has its own fish to fry these days, not focusing on bionic tech. And I know the reason the Ashfords have stood the test of time has a lot to do with this project."

He paused, his gaze growing intense before he continued, "The person who got the Ashfords involved in the first place was your mother, Karen, right?"

Vivienne nodded but remained tight-lipped.

She was not ready to stir the pot with the Perez family's waters still uncharted.

"Vivienne, only the Perez and the Boyd families are in on the bionic tech secret. Your mother managed to bring this concept to life, and it's nearly identical to what the Perez family envisioned. I think she must have seen their initial concept draft. I'm not saying she copied or stole it. I'm just saying..."

"Uncle, I get what you're trying to say."

Vivienne smiled at Maddox.

She knew he was beginning to question her identity.

If her mother had indeed introduced those concepts, matching the Perez family's ideas, it only meant she had some connection with them.

If that was the case, could Karen perhaps be Sasha?

Maddox hesitated to voice his suspicion, fearing another disappointment.

Vivienne tucked the contract away. "Thanks, Uncle. I'll take it from here and push the research forward."

Maddox nodded. "Yeah, I believe in you."

He also believed that she must be his niece, his sister's daughter.
