The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 793

Gavin glanced at the bruise beneath his eye, so faint it was almost invisible.

A flicker of disdain crossed his eyes, but for Madeline's sake, he tempered his expression. "What's the rush? As long as you all stick to your story and don't budge on Julian's harassment charges, I can't believe Vivienne, that little tramp, has any chance of overturning the case!"

"But what about the bribery allegations from before..." Kipling wanted to say that since they'd filed charges, they'd surely not focus only on the hardest to prove. Back in the day, to climb the ladder, he had done quite a few things to undermine Julian. If all that came to light, who would believe his judgment?

Gavin waved his hand dismissively, as if such concerns were trivial. "You took bribes? As if Vivienne's people are clean? That country girl from nowhere, how does she have the clout to sue you?"

Kipling's eyes lit up with understanding at the implied message. He slapped his thigh, "Right! How does Vivienne have the nerve? It must be her man behind her! Gavin, I know what to do now. Don't worry, this time, I won't let Kaitlyn and Vivienne get away with it!"

Gavin nodded with satisfaction, "Then get to it. And don't mess it up."

Kaitlyn, Vivienne. You really think that by handing over the secret recipe, you'll be worry-free?!

Just wait. The real show is yet to come!

Watching Kipling's eager departure, Gavin dusted off his jacket and stood to leave.

Unnoticed by all, two figures had been standing in the most hidden corner of the side hall the entire time. Victoria only emerged from the shadows once the room cleared.

Looking in the direction Kipling had left, then at Gavin's retreating figure, she said with a mix of mockery and wistfulness, "Vivienne really does have some talent, pushing Gavin to this point. The old man's truly a waste of space!"

Seaton dared not speak; lately, Victoria seemed to have less and less restraint in her speech. She'd just had a spat with Harrison, and now she was insinuating against Gavin. She was practically declaring war on him without saying it outright!
