The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 727

Vivienne sighed deeply as she read the text message screenshot Donald had sent her, feigning distress, thinking, "Seriously, is being this petty absolutely necessary?"

Percival's hand had never left her shoulder, so he naturally didn't miss the message popping up on her phone.

Watching another man throw a temper tantrum at his wife, Percival felt the acidic jealousy bubble up inside him. But if one were to trace the root of the issue, it would lead back to one of the infamous trio of numbskulls, who had been swaggering around without a care in the world.

Percival's eyes narrowed slightly, sending a shiver down Leopold's spine.

Before he could react, he felt something smack the back of his head, and he spun around, ready to fight, "Who's there? Who dares to hit me? Do you have a death wish..."

His threatening words trailed off as he met Percival's icy gaze.

Leopold's normally confident facade crumbled upon seeing Percival.

Awkwardly straightening up, he thought, of course, who else but Vivienne and Percival, the dynamic duo, could be behind him? No one else would dare to mess with him. He should have known better than to get involved with this mess.

Ever since they got married, Percival had been getting more and more possessive.

"Vivienne?" Maddox called out from the doorway, having watched the trio for a while.

Noticing the three of them chatting in the yard, instead of coming inside and suspecting something was up, he stepped out, "Why aren't you coming in? Dinner's ready; we're just waiting on you and Percival." "And me, don't forget about me," Leopold interjected, not willing to be left out.

Having taken his lumps and noted his grievances, he was determined to partake in the meal today, or it would be a total loss.
