The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 305

Once again, Mila had the audacity to stir up trouble with Vivienne, and Scott had had enough. Now, she even wanted to throw slaps in the Brooks household. He wondered who gave her such nerve.

"Scott, it was Kala who provoked me; I just..." Tears welled up in Mila's eyes as she spoke. "You know I would never ignore what you say. Whatever I do is for you and the Brooks family. You must believe me!"

Mila was sobbing uncontrollably, wishing she could melt Scott's heart with her tears.

Her strategy was obvious.

Unfortunately, her dramatic display didn't move a single soul in the Brooks household. They all watched her emotionlessly.

"Ms. Clark," Scott issued another eviction order. "I don't want to repeat myself. Please leave."

Kala, with her arms folded, chuckled. "Ms. Clark, you seem to be crying pretty hard. Do you need some eye drops? I have a ton in my room. They are guaranteed to make your cries more convincing."

Kala was fed up with Mila's theatrical antics. Who did she think she was fooling?

Mila's tears squeezed out, but Scott's heart remained unmoved.

Humiliated and frustrated, Mila picked up her tea-stained coat and left awkwardly.

After watching Mila leave, the furrow in Scott's brow finally relaxed. He then turned to Vivienne, who was sitting on the couch. "Vivienne, are you okay?"

He had planned to be away for five days, but he wrapped up his business in three and came home early.

Upon his return, he found Mila creating a ruckus in the Brooks household. She was even trying to assault someone.

Mila's constant disruptions were getting on his nerves, and her attempts to interfere in the Brooks family affairs were unsettling.

The Brooks family didn't need an outsider to make decisions for them. If Mila fantasized about being the matriarch of the Brooks family, it was up to him to stop it.

Vivienne glanced at him nonchalantly. "I'm fine."

"Uncle Scott, are you really going to marry Ms. Clark?" Kala asked as soon as Mila left.

Scott glared at her. "Nonsense! When did I ever say I was going to marry her?"

Due to the friendly relations between the two families and Mila's good relationship with Paula, Mila often visited the Brooks household.

It was clear to everyone what Mila was after, but no one said it out loud.

"Uncle Scott, if you're going to marry again, you need to choose a suitable wife. Especially character-wise. You need to be careful. Ms. Clark has been treating the Brooks residence like her own. She comes and goes as she pleases, and she is always picking on Vivienne. Such a person is not suitable to be the matriarch of the Brooks family."

Scott didn't say much as a response; he only said, "I'll handle it."

While this statement was directed at Kala, it was also meant for Vivienne.

Ever since Vivienne returned home, she had been keeping her distance from him.

Although she never said it, Scott could feel that Vivienne was different from the other members of the Brooks family. She had her own thoughts and was hiding many secrets.

"That's good." Kala nodded and smiled as she linked arms with Vivienne. "I can rest easy for Vivienne then."

"By the way." Scott looked at Vivienne. "The time we had your reunion banquet, your foster parents didn't come. Let's arrange a time to have dinner with them soon."

"Okay," Vivienne responded indifferently.

Dorian and Cordelia were supposed to attend Vivienne's reunion banquet, but they didn't show up that night.

She called Dorian many times and even sent Matthew to look for them. Before Matthew could find them, Dorian called.
