The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 156

Arabella's face fell.

Was she being dismissed as a dog?

With a cold gaze, she looked at Thomas. "And who are you to stop me?"

She tried to open the car door on Percival's side and reach for his hand.

In the past, she would never dare act this way towards Percival, but now, as a member of the Brooks family, she had the confidence to do so, believing that Percival would respect the Brooks family's name.

Her courage had grown considerably.

However, as soon as her hand touched the car door, it swung open from inside, and she was kicked away by Percival.

Arabella fell to the ground, feeling as if every bone in her body had been broken. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Percival.

"Arabella!" Tristan, furious, rushed over to attack Percival. "You dare hurt her?! I'll kill you!"

But before he could even touch Percival's suit, the men who had beaten Paul earlier stepped in his way, pinning him down.

"Percival! Fight me one-on-one if you dare!" Tristan's face was distorted with anger as he was pinned to the ground, still yelling.

Percival didn't so much as give him a glance. He casually adjusted the cuffs of his suit, speaking to Thomas in a detached tone. "The car's dirty. Get me a new one."

Thomas nodded. "Yes." He then took out his phone and called for another car.

Soon, a new car arrived.

Percival, holding Vivienne's hand, got into the car. He glanced at Thomas. "If you can't handle this, go to Fariana Isle!"

Thomas shuddered. "Yes."

He immediately called for a tow truck to take away Arabella's sports car, with Paul still in it.

"What are you doing?" Arabella, shocked, tried to stand up despite the pain. "This is my car!"

"There's still someone in the car!" Paul also cried out in fear, struggling to jump out.

The tow truck driver paid them no mind and drove towards the scrapyard.

"Percival!" Arabella realized Percival's intentions and immediately put on her usual pitiful act. "You've gone too far!"

Vivienne hadn't seen Arabella's victim act in a while and found it somewhat novel. She watched her for a while longer.

Percival didn't even bother to look at her.

Thomas drove the car into the school, leaving Tristan, who was still yelling on the ground, in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

In the school's parking lot, Thomas reported the information he had gathered to Percival.

"A month ago, Beatrice suddenly approached the Brooks family, saying that Arabella is the daughter of the Brooks family's head, Scott Brooks. The Brooks family, upon receiving the news, immediately sent people to bring Arabella to Rivenwood."

"Scott? I thought he never married. Where does this daughter come from?" Percival frowned.

"Scott had a girlfriend whom he loved very much over a decade ago." Thomas answered. "They were about to get married when she suddenly left him. Scott has been looking for her ever since, but to no avail. Later, he found Arabella, who turned out to be his daughter with that woman."
