The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 331

Quincy was their guide, with Percival at the wheel, as they made their way south.

After a solid two-hour drive, they finally pulled up to a residential area.

They were in the wealthiest part of Rivenwood, where only the rich and influential resided. Everyone in this area was blessed with substantial resources.

Money was one thing, but these folks had connections that were anything but ordinary.

Quincy led them into one of the villas and down into the basement.

The place was heavily guarded with plenty of organization members.

But Vivienne and Percival, who were disguised as Cordelia and Dorian, as well as Quincy, were familiar faces; hence, they met no roadblocks.

Once in the basement, they quickly found Dorian and Cordelia huddled in a corner.

They seemed unharmed, but their faces were pale and drawn. They looked like they hadn't eaten in days.

"Algernon." Quincy spoke to the man watching over them. "We're moving these two immediately. Get ready."

"Moving?" Algernon eyed Percival and Vivienne behind Quincy. "Why the sudden move? Weren't they doing fine here?"

"Things have changed. It's all for the potion." Quincy didn't have time to explain and kept it brief. "In any case, we'll take responsibility for moving them to a safe place."

"Rest assured," Vivienne suddenly spoke from behind, "they will be safe."

"Your voice!" Both Algernon and Quincy were taken aback. This wasn't Cordelia's voice, nor was it Ismene's.

She wasn't one of GTO's people.

"Quick! Call for backup!" Quincy's first instinct was to call for help, but the next moment, she realized that she was frozen in place. "You guys!"

Algernon rushed them, but Percival easily subdued him.

Once Algernon was restrained, Vivienne and Percival went to untie Dorian and Cordelia.

All the noise made a weakened Dorian open his eyes.

He saw Cordelia in front of him and then suddenly realized that there was somebody else beside them. He was taken aback.

He was startled when he looked back at Percival.

Wasn't that him?

"Mr. Hawthorn!" Vivienne called out to him, breaking his daze. "I'm here to rescue you."

"Vivienne?" Dorian snapped back to reality and urgently whispered, "How are you here? Run...there's too many of them..."

Vivienne's heart softened, and she gently assured him that things were fine. "It's okay. I'll get you home safe and sound."

She helped Dorian and Cordelia up.

Just then, Thomas walked in.

"Percival, everyone's been subdued."

Thomas had fully recovered a few days prior and had rejoined Percival's team the night before.

Percival looked expressionlessly at Quincy and Algernon on the ground and coldly gave out his orders. "Take them back. I'll interrogate them myself."

"Roger that." Thomas nodded and ordered the team members who came with him to take everyone away.

Dorian and Cordelia watched the fully armed men make their moves, then looked at Percival.

The last time Vivienne's students were kidnapped, it was Percival who stormed in with a fully armed team. Back then, they were only concerned about Vivienne and didn't think much of it.
