The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 277

As soon as Eddy heard this, he panicked. "No! I'm not going!"

Last time, he also ended up at the police station because of a scandalous live-streaming incident. If he got arrested again, it would be his second round in the slammer.

Worse still, the last time he was arrested, his father brought back Aaron, his illegitimate half-brother.

If he got arrested again, he feared his father would give up on him entirely and start grooming Aaron as his successor.

How could Aaron deserve that?

The cops, however, weren't about to let Eddy refuse so easily.

Before he knew it, they had grabbed him.

But somehow, Eddy managed to shake off the cops and, with eyes burning with fury, charged at Vivienne. "Bitch! It's all your fault! If I’m going down, I’m taking you with me!"

But as he lunged at her, Percival, who had been shielding Vivienne, swiftly stepped aside.

Vivienne raised her foot and kicked Eddy hard.

Caught off guard, Eddy fell to the ground.

The cops were about to subdue him when he spotted a fruit knife on a nearby table. In a flash, he lunged for it and thrust it at Vivienne.

But Vivienne stood her ground, not moving an inch.

Leopold, alarmed, was about to intervene when Percival stopped him. "Hold it!"

Before Leopold could react, Vivienne moved.

In one swift motion, she launched a fast and powerful attack on Eddy.

Her soft-looking fists carried a massive force.

She launched blow after blow at Eddy, and Leopold, standing close, could clearly hear the sound of Eddy's bones cracking.

Suddenly, he understood.

Vivienne kicked Eddy to the ground, casually wiped her hands with a wet wipe from the table, and looked at the cops. "Was I acting in self-defense?"

Everyone was stunned.

They hadn't expected Vivienne, such a beautiful woman, to be so skilled in combat.

The police, taken aback for a moment, nodded. "Yes. You were acting in self-defense."

A radiant smile spread across Vivienne's face. "Then I'll leave him to you. I'll provide evidence of his and Paula's attempt to drug me."

Her face was expressionless as she said, "I won't accept a settlement."

The police were puzzled. "Drugging?"

Their report only mentioned Eddy's inappropriate behavior on a live stream. There was no mention of any drugging.

Vivienne's lips curled up slightly as she glanced at Scott. "Seems like you only got part of the report. Then please take Paula as well. I accuse her of drugging my dress and attempting to have me raped and sold.”

The police immediately became serious. Human trafficking was something they had to seriously deal with.

The lead officer approached Paula. "Miss Paula, please come with us."
