The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 599

As they chatted, the pair arrived at the meeting spot.

Griffin was waiting outside, and upon spotting the duo, she bounded over with earnest warmth.

Being the daughter of the Martinez family, Griffin was inevitably a bit biased toward her own kin.

Her complete trust in Vivienne and Percival was undeniable; otherwise, she would not have collaborated with Vivienne on developing a new bomb detection device.

Griffin's role was pivotal in arranging for Stellan to come out for this meeting.

"Vivienne, my dad came alone, without the company's legal team. You guys got this," Griffin cheered, pumping her fist in encouragement.

Vivienne understood. Stellan's choice to come without his lawyers meant he was not planning to finalize anything today.

He knew that relying on the Vanguard Agency would ultimately spell trouble for the Martinez family.

The Martinez family was an ancient warrior lineage that came out of seclusion, but they lacked venerated elders like those in the Perez family. It was only Stellan keeping up appearances, along with Griffin, who was a rare prodigy in the arms industry.

This was the only way the Martinez family could maintain their status.

But this recent incident, almost costing them Griffin, was a clear sign that someone was targeting the Martinez family.

If they did not adapt, the road ahead would be rocky indeed!

Inside the café, Stellan sat at a table, exuding a casual vibe in his leisurewear, quite the opposite of Vivienne's expectation of a suit and tie. His demeanor, though relaxed, carried an air of authority that demanded respect.

"If anyone should apologize, it's me to you, Mr. Martinez. My junior did something regrettable to your family, and I failed to guide him." Stellan waved off the apology. "I've known Leopold since he was a boy. He might be a bit headstrong, but he's a good kid. No blame lies with him."
