The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 418

Fiona's gaze flitted towards Richard, her eyes betraying panic for the first time.

Richard looked at Fiona with disappointment. "Fiona, you should stay out of the company's affairs."

"Grandpa..."

Fiona could not believe it. In less than half an hour, the career she took pride in, which secured her a place in the prestigious Ellington family, had just vanished.

However, Richard could not be bothered with her and turned to encourage the rest of the guests to continue the festivities.

"Jasper, let me introduce you to my family," Vivienne said, guiding Jasper through the introductions to Dorian's family and Richard, among others.

After a brief moment of silence, the party resumed its lively atmosphere.

Fiona was left standing alone, ignored by everyone.

A server removed the set of original prototype jewelry she was so proud of under Percival's orders.

Watching Vivienne chat happily with Richard and Jasper, Fiona clenched her fist tightly.

“Vivienne, Percival, I swear I'll get my revenge! I’ll kill both of you!” She yelled inwardly.

Suddenly, someone bumped her shoulder, and she found a note and a remote control device in her hand.

Fiona was stunned but opened the note to read, [Close the door, catch the dog.]

She scanned the room but could not find the person who had given the note to her.

Though she did not want to cause a scene at the party, she knew this was her chance.

Blinded by rage, she did not stop to consider why Vivienne and Percival's attitudes towards her had changed so suddenly.

They used to get along so well.

Percival had always respected her as his cousin. But today, his gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger.

Elsewhere, Kenneth was fuming, munching on pastries, and glowering at the sight of Vivienne and Percival holding hands.

"Aaron, can you do anything about this or not?"

Aaron rolled his eyes. "Do you think I have any reason to take Vivienne away from here?"

Kenneth gritted his teeth. "Follow me! I refuse to believe we can't split them up."

With that, Kenneth handed Aaron a glass of wine.

Reluctantly, Aaron followed.

"Grandpa, I want you to meet my good buddy, Aaron. He’s here to wish you a happy birthday," Kenneth said, slinging an arm around Aaron's shoulders to emphasize their close friendship.

Aaron was annoyed but could not push Kenneth away.

He braced himself, saying, "Sir Richard, may you live long and prosper."

Richard smiled warmly. "You're the FPP from that championship game, aren't you? Quite the looker. You should teach my little grandson here sometime."

Kenneth blushed. "Grandpa, it's FMVP, and I don't need his coaching. I'm way better than him!"

Aaron pinched Kenneth hard, warning him with a glare not to forget their real purpose.

Kenneth cleared his throat and said to Percival, "Bro, I need to talk to you for a sec."

Aaron chuckled awkwardly, realizing how forced it sounded, but they had no choice.

"Vivienne, I need to discuss something with you as well."

Vivienne and Percival exchanged a glance, assuming it was team business, and stood to leave with the two men.

However, to Percival’s surprise, Kenneth led him to a back lounge room filled with beauties!

"Mr. Ellington, nice to meet you."

Kenneth grinned like a sly pimp. "Bro, they're all my fans, they..."
