The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 1069

Griffin felt a throbbing pain in his temples, adamantly sticking to his choice, "The black one."

Leopold acknowledged with a grunt, obediently putting the others away.

Griffin was beyond words.

If simplicity saved lives, then let it be.

During their engagement party, she had already seen through Leopold's standing within the Emerald Mountain community.

Plus, being named godfather to Vivienne's kids was already flashy enough.

If Leopold dared to dress even more flamboyantly at tomorrow's feast... she feared he might not make it through the night without being "taken out."

The hall was packed with well-wishers.

Vivienne sat in the lounge, surrounded by Finnian, Jasper, and Yorick, who had made special trips to be there.

Any one of them was a notable figure in Rivenwood.

Yet there they were, locked in a standoff, none yielding to the others.

Only Vivienne remained calm.

Next to her were some snacks and pastries, thoughtfully prepared by Mr. Wolf.

This banquet was significant for both families.

As her father put it, it was also about making up for past regrets during her own wedding.

With so many invites, they had no idea how many would actually show up.
