The Million-Dollar Heart

On the other side of the island, Holly noticed a man walking towards her with a steady pace.

Squinting her eyes, Vivienne recognized him immediately. It was Arthur.

Holly, with a hint of respect in her voice, looked down and called out, "Boss!"

Arthur's expression turned stern, his voice slightly cold, "You've been followed. Check your six."

Holly's gaze sharpened, and she quickly turned in the indicated direction, ready to confront the follower.

Percival swiftly pulled Vivienne aside, just as Holly realized her mistake. With a sigh of resignation, she stopped her aggressive stance and shook her head. Looking towards Arthur, who shook his head with a wry smile, he gestured for them to come over.

Holly advanced, with Percival and Vivienne following closely. Arthur gave Percival a sharp look but then turned to his daughter with a face full of pride.

Holly smiled lightly, "Who would've thought you'd follow me here? Impressive."
