The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 584

At that moment, Maddox strode over.

"Dad, Finnian's brought Mr. Linklater over!"

Vivienne rose to her feet upon hearing this, a hint of urgency sparkling in her eyes.

"Vesper, at last, we meet!"

Seizing the moment, Diana hurriedly wiped up the remaining juice, tossing the glass into the sink to obliterate any evidence of her actions.

Jasper also stood, leaning on his cane as he moved to greet the newcomer.

However, once outside, they found only Vesper.

"Where the hell is that old bastard Ulysses?" Jasper bellowed from the yard. Vesper chuckled, "He's hiding."

Though he said this, his gaze drifted to the old banyan tree in the courtyard. Understanding the hint, Jasper picked up a stone and hurled it at the banyan.

Finnian winced and poked his head out. "Jasper! Are you trying to kill me?"

"You've already died twice! What's once more?" Jasper retorted, lobbing another stone.

Finnian was not going down without a fight, plucking leaves from the tree and tossing them back at Jasper.

The two old coots showed no mercy, each blow harder than the last.

Maddox and Yuri tried to intervene, tugging at each one, adding to the commotion.

Vesper quietly observed Jasper, finally easing up.
