The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 596

Willa's brow was furrowed in frustration, her fists clenched tightly.

"So many hideouts, damn it!" She muttered under her breath.

The real thorn in her side was discovering that Diana had been secretly conspiring with F-Poison! That damned traitor!

Meanwhile, Quincy discreetly texted Vivienne for help, knowing full well she was no match for Willa. Her only hope was to bring in reinforcements without making a sound.

But before she could relish the thought of rescue, Willa's hand clamped down on her shoulder.

"Hey, kiddo, when the grown-ups are talking, you listen, okay?" Willa said with a smile that was anything but comforting.

Quincy attempted to resist, but it was futile.

With ease, Willa confiscated Quincy's phone, then tied her to a chair, topping her work with a peachy little heart drawn on her forehead.

"As much as I'd love to catch up with Vivienne, I can't right now. Give it two hours after I leave, and she'll come running to save you," Willa said as she tapped on the phone before setting it down and making her exit.

Quincy could only watch helplessly as Willa disappeared. Glancing at the phone, she saw the message was indeed sent, but with a two-hour delay before reaching Vivienne.
