The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 643

Blinking her eyes, Anna felt that Zelda was unusually enthusiastic today.

She glanced at Vivienne, seeking help, and Vivienne shot her a knowing look that said, "Girl, my aunt fancies you as a niece-in-law."

Anna nearly choked on her drink. She was too young to be shackled by the chains of arranged dating!

No way, not happening!

Seeing Anna's pleading eyes, Vivienne kindly excused her, breaking the tension.

Zelda, aware that Vivienne had serious matters to discuss, didn't press further, content to wait until they were finished.

"Actually, my junior brother isn't too shabby. Why not give him a shot?" Vivienne teased, playfully tipping Anna's chin.

Anna blushed. "Ms. Vivienne, when did you start being so cheeky?"

"Picked it up from our Mr. Wolf."

Percival, who had just walked in, paused upon hearing this.

What? Was he really that cheeky?

Anna quickly changed the subject when she saw Percival return. "Mr. Ellington, Herman mentioned you were looking for me. What's up?"

Percival sat down next to Vivienne and said, "You're about to graduate from Elite University, right? Applied for grad school yet?"

Anna nodded. "Yeah, just haven't had the chance to take the exams; been swamped with training assignments lately."

"Go for it, stick close to Aaron."

It took Anna a moment to remember who Aaron was. "Stick close to him for what?"

"Aaron's been dealing with the Brooks family lately, investigating the bionic biotech related to F-Poison. Assist him. There's a Mara close to him with
