The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 105

Arabella was shaking with rage, and the knife in her hand was trembling.

She was only eighteen and always pampered herself. Despite mentally preparing herself and arranging for medical staff to be on standby, she was still hesitant to make the cut.

Was she really going to do it?

If she did, would Vivienne give in?

Just as she closed her eyes, mustered up her courage, and prepared to make a small cut, a bespectacled reporter rushed over and grabbed Arabella’s hand, stopping her.

“Don’t you see? Vivienne is heartless. She won’t give a damn, even if you hurt yourself. Stand up. Stop kneeling for her. She's not worth it!"

Arabella let out a sigh of relief.

Just as the reporter was about to pull her up, his phone rang.

Not just his. The other reporters' phones started ringing one after the other.

After picking up the call, his face changed instantly.

He looked at Arabella with a complex expression, let go of her hand, and opened up Twitter.

The other reporters seemed to have received the same news. They, too, opened up Twitter.

A middle-aged man's voice came from their phones.

"Hello everyone, I'm William. Arabella, who caused a major controversy online for treating Ms. Faye, is not my student. She was merely assisting. I've never taught her.

"This prescription was given to me by the Baker family. Arabella used my name to help Ms. Faye with this prescription. Of course, the prescription was indeed written by me, but I only completed half of it and was still adjusting it. Two of the drugs in the prescription would react with each other, causing a fever that wouldn't subside and could potentially be fatal.

I didn't expect Arabella to steal this half-completed prescription without my consent. She used it to treat Ms. Faye and almost killed her.

I hereby declare that Arabella is not my student. Someone so morally corrupt who doesn't value a patient's life is not fit to work with the Pendleton family."

William was a highly influential doctor in the medical community, and Arabella had always boasted about being his student. He was from the distinguished medical family, the Pendleton family. His contribution to medicine was immense and highly respected. So, his words carried weight.

All the reporters were dumbfounded. They looked at Arabella, thinking that their previous sympathy for her was a joke.

Was she just handing out drugs willy-nilly?

Arabella was only eighteen, right? She was so young yet so cunning and cruel. She almost killed Faye and had the audacity to frame the Baker family and Vivienne.

And her acting was really good. They all believed her.

So how much of what she said and did today was true, and how much of it was false?

Suddenly, the reporters all fell silent. No one said a word; they just looked at Arabella with strange eyes.

"No, no, it's fake! It's fake!" Arabella screamed. "It must be the Ellington family! It must be Percival trying to frame me for Vivienne. He pressured Dr. William to say this!"

The reporters looked at Arabella with puzzled eyes. While the Ellington family was indeed powerful, the Pendleton family was not to be underestimated.
