The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 550

Perhaps, when Karen heard those words all those years ago, she already knew there was a traitor within the Agency! But why, knowing such a brutal truth, did her mother choose the most cowardly and useless way to end it all?

Could it be that Vance was hiding details about the call?

Vivienne sank back onto the couch, looking at Vance's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Darren. "I won't work for the Vanguard Agency. You don't deserve me."

It seemed Vance had anticipated Vivienne's response and did not press further. He pulled out his business card and placed it in front of Vivienne.

"It has my number and email. If you ever change your mind, feel free to reach out. And if you need any assistance, don't hesitate to ask. It appears I have slightly more pull than your fiancé right now, so I can certainly make things easier for you."

Melissa approached, her face etched with concern as she watched Vance.

He ruffled her hair. "It's just a minor issue, don't worry."

Melissa nodded. "You go mingle with the guests. I'll check on Vivienne."
