The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 439

Vivienne nodded. The Brooks family's affairs were no longer of her concern. However, if they came knocking on her door one day seeking help, she would not turn a blind eye.

If they did not, well, then it was live and let live.

Ronald caught Vivienne's gaze, and his expression flickered with oddness for a split second before he resumed his composure and nodded at her in greeting.

Mark, still playing it cool with Vivienne, showed no reaction.

"Let's go, we're off," Vivienne said, waving Aaron away.

Aaron responded, "Hey Vivienne, we should grab a..."

Before he could finish suggesting a meal, Percival rolled up the car window with a quick twist and kicked the seat in front of him. "Drive."

Leopold jumped, wondering what the sudden outburst was about, but did not dare to ask; he just silently started the car.

Vivienne sighed, "Mr. Wolf, do you have something against Aaron?"

Percival, feigning indifference, replied, "No, Leopold closed the window."

"Huh?" Leopold yelped, catching Percival's warning glance in the rear-view mirror, and quickly nodded in agreement, "Ah yes, yes, my fault, Vivienne. You should totally chew me out."

Maybe a good scolding would get him out of driving duties!

Where the heck had Thomas, that little rascal, run off to?

He should be back driving now that he had recovered from his sickness, right?

Had he not been back at work just a couple of days ago?

Thomas’s inner thoughts were, “Training the newbie, do not disturb.”

Aaron watched the car fade into the distance, his hopeful gaze sinking slowly.

He knew he had no right to stand beside Vivienne just yet.

Everything would have to wait.

Mark walked over with Ronald and asked, "Hey kid, what was Vivienne doing here?"

Aaron's gaze dropped, "Just meeting a friend."

"Oh, I saw a girl getting into her car. A classmate of yours?" Mark's eyes trailed off in the direction the car had disappeared, thoughtful.

"I don't know her; I didn't see what she looked like," Aaron said, adjusting his backpack. "Aren't we supposed to be heading to a party?"

The truth was, he had seen Anna. They were both finance majors; of course, he knew her.

But they barely spoke at school, only exchanging a few words when grouped for an assignment. After the project, there was no further interaction.

But when Mark asked, he just could not be bothered to explain.

However, the fact that Anna knew Vivienne was a surprise to him.

He had always thought Anna was a loner with hardly any friends.

Seeing Aaron a bit impatient, Mark did not push further and left with Ronald to head out from Elite University.

In Vivienne's car, Anna pulled out a certificate. It was issued by the Elite University's School of Medicine.

"You've become a professional doctor?" Vivienne was surprised to see the certificate.

She knew Anna's mother, Daphne, had been a right-hand woman to Karen, with her incredible achievements in the medical field.

But Vivienne did not expect Anna to follow in those footsteps, too.

Leopold thought inwardly, “Vivienne, you've mastered all of your mother's skills; is it so hard for Anna to inherit just one thing?
