The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 787
Victoria's fragile demeanor was something Vivienne couldn't bear to witness. "Harrison was all set to take this to court with Vivienne, but when he heard about our relationship, he feared a family feud in the courtroom would spoil relations. He also worried I wouldn't be able to integrate into the Ellingtons, so he hoped his cousin would drop the lawsuit voluntarily. After all, no matter how this lawsuit goes, we're bound to win."
She said this with a pointed look at Vivienne, "It would be a shame for all your efforts to end up fruitless."
Vivienne thought to herself, 'Playing the coquette certainly requires talent.'
Percival spoke without a hint of emotion, "Really? We're not afraid of a little discord. Court sounds just fine to me."
"Mr. Ellington perhaps shouldn't indulge Ms. Hawthorn quite so much." Harrison sipped his tea, the picture of calm, "She's young, easily deceived. Hoodwinked by Kaitlyn's spiel, her misplaced sense of loyalty is understandable. But should Mr. Ellington really turn against his own kin for a woman with no blood ties?
Besides, the matter at hand, no matter how you slice it, is between Kaitlyn and me. Mr. Ellington and Ms. Hawthorn, sticking your noses in, doesn't seem quite right."
Vivienne's retort was nonchalant, "I have money to spare, and I enjoy it. Do you have a problem with that?"
Her delicate chin tilted ever so slightly, a mix of haughtiness and charm.
Richard watched, a smile growing in his eyes. That's our Vivienne, he thought, always standing up for the underdog, far better than that icy-faced grandson of mine!
