The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 325

Paula was shaken by Vivienne’s stern gaze, and her eyes darted away nervously.

"Indeed, money is secondary." Carl frowned. "We need to think about how to bring Thaddeus back!"

"The kidnapper wants cash! We need to withdraw 10 million in cash right now!"

Judith, despite being the eldest, was quite lucid. "You guys should get to the bank immediately!"

"Madam!" As everyone was discussing, the servant hurriedly rushed in. "Mr. Ellington is here."

As soon as the servant reported this, Percival strode into the living room. His gaze swept over those present before settling on Vivienne.

"Money is not a concern." He walked to Vivienne's side and calmly said, "I have already prepared 10 million in cash."

"Mr. Wolf?" Vivienne was taken aback by his sudden appearance. "Why are you here?"

He already seemed to know all about Thaddeus and even had the ransom ready in advance.

"The ransom note was also sent to the Ellington family." Percival explained simply, "Don't worry, the money is in the van outside."

As soon as the news reached the Ellington family, they became very concerned. He had immediately contacted the bank to prepare the cash.

"Thank you." Vivienne whispered.

Although she could also get 10 million quickly, she was touched that Percival had delivered it so promptly.

"No need for thanks between us." Percival's voice was tinged with a hint of indulgence.

Now that the ransom issue was solved, the next step was to deliver it to the kidnappers.

For Thaddeus' safety, they didn't call the police. All they could do was wait.

Percival sat with Vivienne in the courtyard, asking, "Do we have any leads on who the kidnapper is?"

"It doesn't matter who the kidnapper is. What matters is who's pulling the strings behind the scenes." Vivienne's eyes flashed coldly.

After seeing Vivienne's calm demeanor, Percival understood what was in her mind. "You already have an answer?"

Vivienne narrowed her eyes as her calm and steady tone was replaced by a dangerous and threatening one. "They've been too foolish. It would be hard not to know."

If it weren't for the certainty that Thaddeus was safe, she wouldn't be so calm.

The reason she was waiting was to see what the other party was planning.

Percival smirked. "It seems like someone is not satisfied with their easy life."

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, and a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. "Indeed."

Because the matter concerned Vivienne, the Ellington family also took it very seriously.

Although Richard couldn't come in person due to his health, he still sent other members of the Ellington family to check on the situation.

Cathy and Paul, the wife and son of Richard’s eldest son, and Fiona, the daughter of his second son, all rushed to the Brooks Mansion.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the kidnapper called again.

The entire call lasted only half a minute. The other party was concise, and their goal was clear.

They wanted Vivienne to drive alone to Sun Park to deliver the ransom.

As soon as this request was heard, Paula was the first to object. "Why should Vivienne deliver the ransom?! She's just a girl! What does she know?! She'll be scared stiff when she meets the kidnapper!"
