The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 108

In the living room.

Percival was chilling on the sofa, waiting for her, while Doreen and Bertha kept him company.

After seeing Vivienne descend the stairs, he stood up to greet her. “All done?”

“Yep.” Vivienne nodded as she made her way down the stairs. She turned to Doreen and Bertha. “Starting tomorrow, I won’t be treating Faye anymore. I’ve already told her about the medicine.”

Doreen immediately showed her gratitude and saw Vivienne and Percival out, finally dropping a bombshell. “The Hawthorn family just declared bankruptcy.”

Vivienne was already in the loop; the news broke out at noon today. It was a complete smear on the Hawthorn family’s reputation.

The tide of public opinion turned. The netizens who previously helped Arabella attack her and Percival had now started to attack Arabella, and Beatrice. The effect was significant.

Major banks and raw material suppliers who collaborated with the Hawthorn family and distributors who had already paid the deposit for the perfume, fearing they wouldn’t get their money, all flocked to the hospital and pressed the Hawthorn family for repayment.

This time, Beatrice couldn’t hold on. She passed out for real.

The Hawthorn family eventually declared bankruptcy.

Vivienne wasn’t surprised. This was the ending Vivienne had planned for them.

This time, only two families took action against the Hawthorn family. If every family pitched in, the Hawthorn family would probably be destroyed without a trace.

She took Dorian and Iris’ feelings into consideration, so she didn’t go all in.

Doreen told Vivienne. “This incident was mainly because I wasn’t careful enough and got tricked by Arabella. I also dragged you in. Don’t worry, the Baker family will definitely hold her legally responsible.”

The Baker family essentially caused this incident, but, in the end, it was Vivienne who cleaned up the mess, so Doreen felt quite ashamed.

Without saying much, Vivienne just politely said her goodbyes and left with Percival.

Today, Thomas didn’t come. Percival drove.

On the way, Richard called.

As soon as the call connected, Richard began to cuss. “I’m returning to Rivenwood in a few days, and you’re not even around to keep me company. Where the hell are you?”

Percival was a bit helpless. “I accompanied Vivienne to the Bakers.”

“Vivienne's with you?” Richard’s tone immediately softened. “Then spend more time with Vivienne. It’s fine if you don’t come home tonight. You’re young, after all. Being a little impulsive isn’t a bad thing.”

Vivienne slightly raised an eyebrow, teasingly looking at Percival.

Percival immediately pleaded innocence with his eyes. He definitely didn’t mean it that way.

“Vivienne.” Richard called for Vivienne.

“Richard, I’m here.”

“I’m returning to Rivenwood in a few days. I want to invite your whole family for dinner the day after tomorrow. I haven’t seen you for days. I miss you.”

“Okay, I’ll let them know.” Vivienne replied.

Richard was satisfied. He didn’t say another word and hung up the call.

The difference in the way he treated them was too obvious.

“I’ll definitely be obedient in the future.” Percival pretended to sigh. “Because if we fight, Grandpa will definitely side with you.”
