The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 28

Outside the Hawthorn family mansion.

Just as Thomas and Percival arrived, they heard Alisa's words. Thomas's eyes darkened, a hint of coldness on his face.

Both Leopold and Thomas frowned.

What the hell is Arabella up to?

She secretly healed Percival and claimed she didn't want anyone to know, but now it's all over town?

What does she want to do?

"Vivienne!"

Isolde, standing nearby, spotted Vivienne and was about to run over in excitement when Percival held her back. "Wait."

He wasn't sure if the Vivienne that Isolde was talking about was the same Vivienne. He just wanted to see what Arabella was up to.

Inside the hall.

Everyone listened to Alisa's words and showed appreciation for Arabella.

Arabella was indeed an outstanding girl.

But when they looked at Vivienne, their eyes were filled with disgust. Then they began to chatter. "Arabella may be an adopted daughter, but she's way better than a biological daughter. No matter who marries Percival, it's Dorian's daughter. He should be happy. It's ridiculous that he ruined his adopted daughter's marriage for his biological daughter."

"Is he blind? If it were me, I would definitely treat my adopted daughter much better, raise her well, she could bring glory to the family. Look at Vivienne, she's nothing special from the outside in, and grew up in the country without much education. What good can she bring to the Hawthorn family?"

"I think there is a reason for the decline of the Hawthorn family. They had a pearl but didn't appreciate it, instead treating a fake as the real thing."

Hearing the conversations, Arabella turned pale.

Just as she had predicted!

These people would definitely speak up for her!

But she didn't need their help now!

A bunch of idiots!

She was about to explode with anger!

And Dorian, beside her, was shaking with rage. He shouted, "What do you all know? It was Arabella who didn't want to get married. What does Vivienne have to do with it?"

"Dorian, stop explaining. If you didn't do anything wrong, why did Beatrice kick you out? You can't even find a job now, can you? I think you should listen to Beatrice, let Arabella marry Percival, then you can come back and enjoy the good life." A guest sneered.

"Shut up!" Dorian was beside himself with rage, but didn't know what to say.

Just then, a fancy lady walked over, excitedly asking Arabella, "Ms. Hawthorn, did you really cure Percival's sister? I heard she had an accident when she was young. Her face was ruined and left with many scars. But recently, rumors say she's regained her looks and has become very beautiful. Did you do that?"

This fancy lady was Doreen Baker, the daughter of the Baker family, 45, married into the Churchill family of Rivenwood.

It was said that her daughter had a car accident a few years ago and her face was ruined. She had found lot of famous doctors for her daughter's treatment, but couldn't find a solution.

Her daughter, Faye Churchill, became introverted due to her disfigurement and didn't want to interact with outsiders, which gave Doreen a headache.

A few months ago, Doreen brought Faye to Havenwood, hoping she could relax a little.

She was here today for the birthday party because her mother was good friends with Beatrice, who invited her to the party. But her mother was sick and she had come in her place. Unexpectedly, she heard that Arabella could treat disfigurements, so she was absolutely thrilled.

Before Arabella could answer, Coral said with a smug face, "Isn't it obvious? Arabella's medical skills are quite extraordinary. Isolde's illness was so serious, but Arabella healed her in just a few days."

Arabella wanted to stop Coral, but considering Doreen's status, she let it slide.
