The Million-Dollar Heart

Sasha shot Vivienne a knowing look before stepping out to confront Arthur.

Vivienne understood that Arthur's actions were for her sake.

He had personally severed the ties of kinship.

Now, it was all up to her.

Moving forward, Vivienne knelt down, shaking a few silver needles in her hand, "Dracon, I'm not my dad. I don't have any familial patience for you, so I'd advise you not to waste my time." "Where's Abigail?"

Dracon's eyelids twitched, but his expression remained unchanged, "Who's Abigail? I have no idea what you're talking about."

With a flick of her wrist, Vivienne inserted two needles into his pressure points, causing Arthur to grimace in unbearable pain.

Her voice grew colder, "You've done so much for her, even risking so much to find the Millennia Aegis for her, and now you're telling me you don't know who she is? Do I look like a toddler to you?" Dracon's face turned ashen, especially upon hearing 'Millennia Aegis', his eyes betraying a flicker of recognition.

Yet, he stubbornly remained silent.

Vivienne played a recording for him, a conversation between him and Abigail, discussing the Millennia Aegis. The voice had been altered, making it untraceable, but Dracon couldn't deny his own voice. "You bugged me?"

Finally understanding where he slipped up, Dracon realized.

Calmly retrieving her phone, Vivienne stated, "Dracon, one must know their limits. You reached into the Perez family's domain, it was time for me to intervene."

Knowing he was no match for Vivienne, Dracon turned his head away, refusing to speak further, "Since you have it, I have nothing more to say."
