The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 409

Vivienne's face betrayed no emotion as she smoothly withdrew her hand from Melissa's grasp, offering no reply. Instead, she turned to face Baron, her voice cool and even. "Do you have anything to say?"

Baron's gaze narrowed slightly, and he spoke without hesitation. "No explanation. The bomb installed in Mr. Ellington's car and the person who drove into you—that was all my doing."

Percival's car accident was still making headlines, and everyone knew about it.

But what they did not know was that Baron was behind it!

"Dad, do you realize what you're saying?" Melissa exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

How was she supposed to accept this?

Her mother was a murderer, and now her father, too?

Timothy saw right through Baron and turned to Scott with eyes brimming with anger. "Bro, are you really going to let Dad take the fall for you?"

His words further shattered the Brooks family's younger generation's belief in their world.

In their eyes, Scott was their kindest elder and uncle. No matter what they did wrong, they could always turn to Scott and escape any punishment.

Ronald was the first to regain some semblance of composure. "Dad, do you know something we don't?"

Timothy did not respond, his gaze fixed on Scott, desperate for the truth to come from his lips.

But all they got was silence.

Baron stood his ground. "Vivienne, take me in. I need to atone."

"Dad!" Melissa could no longer contain her emotions and collapsed, sobbing on the couch.

Vivienne's lips curled into a faint smile; she had anticipated this scene.

With a calm demeanor, she turned to Timothy. "Uncle, you needn't beg Scott for the truth. After all, he's not the Brooks' flesh and blood."

The room fell into a stunned silence.

Scott was not a Brooks?

What was going on?

And how did Vivienne know?

Everyone's gaze shifted to Vivienne, utterly at a loss for words.

They could not believe it.

Scott was Baron's firstborn. Even though he and Judith had no love, he was still deeply invested in his children.

If Scott was not Baron's son, Baron should have been the first to know.

Yet, by the look on Baron's face, it was clear he was clueless.

Baron was utterly stunned. It took him a moment to process the revelation.

When he finally regained his composure, disbelief filled his eyes. "What did you just say? Scott isn't my son?"

Before Vivienne could respond, Baron continued, "No, that's impossible. How could he not be my son? I..."

He stopped mid-sentence as something dawned on him, sending a shiver down his spine.

At that moment, Vivienne handed Baron a paternity test report. "This is his paternity test."

She then passed him another document, saying, "This is the evidence of how Judith bribed the doctor back then. Take a good look at it; your bedfellow has deceived you about more than just the murders."
