The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 155

Percival slightly raised his eyes, his stern face devoid of any expression. His half-closed eyes glimmered with a dangerous light.

Seeing this, Thomas immediately chimed in. "Please show some respect. Ms. Hawthorn is our master's fiancée."

In front of others, Thomas referred to Percival as his master.

Paul scoffed, his disdainful gaze brazenly sizing up Vivienne. "Fiancée? Did Grandpa lose his mind to choose such a girl with no background at all for you?"

This was something that many members of the Ellington family couldn't comprehend. Richard was so partial to Percival, so how could he arrange a marriage with Vivienne, a girl with no background at all?

However, because of this, many had ulterior motives. They thought if they could find a strong alliance with a powerful family, with the support of a powerful father-in-law, they might compete with Percival for the head of the family.

Paul obviously thought so too. "She is indeed pretty. She’s suitable for a fling, but not for marriage. We, born into the Ellington family, should know that only daughters from noble families like the Brooks are suitable for marriage into our family."

His gaze fell on Arabella's face. Arabella timely showed him a shy smile as he pleasingly said, "Only the likes of Arabella are worthy of entering our family's door."

"I didn't know that our family had such a rule!" Before Paul could continue to ingratiate himself with Arabella by humiliating Vivienne, a cold, angry laugh from Richard came from Percival's car.

"Paul, did you set this rule yourself?!"

"Grandfather..." Paul's face changed as he saw Percival holding up his phone at him, displaying Richard's stern face.

He didn't expect Percival to call Richard.

"Did I allow you to go to Havenwood?" Richard's contemptuous gaze glanced at Arabella. "Since you disobeyed me and went anyway, don't bother coming back! Men who only think of living under a woman's skirt don't deserve to stay in the Ellington family!"

"Grandfather!" Paul was shocked. He didn't understand why Richard wouldn't support his marriage to the Brooks family’s daughter, which was a great thing.

"Also, Vivienne is the granddaughter-in-law I personally chose. She’s not some random thing like you to compare with!" Richard warned her. "You'd better respect her!"

Arabella's face changed drastically when she was referred to as a "random thing."

"Richard, what do you mean?!" Tristan stood up to defend Arabella.

"You're not even qualified to talk to me!" Richard didn't even give Tristan a glance.

Tristan's face also turned ugly; he was the adopted son of the Brooks family, and from Richard’s position, when he was unhappy, Tristan didn’t even qualify to step forward.

“Percival!” Richard’s firepower switched to Percival again. “Don’t you know how to protect your own fiancée? Do you even deserve to marry Vivienne? Let me tell you, there are plenty of good men in the Ellington family. If you dare let Vivienne suffer, I will replace you!”

Percival grunted, speaking unhurriedly, “Thomas.”

He never intended to let Paul go. The reason he called Richard was because Vivienne often said that problems that could be solved by telling on others were not problems.

So he tattled.

Yes, he was following his fiancée’s lead.
