The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 644

Vivienne rolled her eyes at the scene before her and silently slipped out of the room.

Anna stood at the doorway, gripping Mara, who was feigning unconsciousness.

"Ms. Vivienne, what should we do with her?"

"Forget her," Vivienne waved dismissively. "Just feed this to Aaron when he wakes up."

Anna nodded in understanding. "Got it."

As Vivienne left, she couldn't help but give Mara a wry smile.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was floundering in the bedroom, shouting, "Isn't anyone coming to save me? Hello? Anybody?!"

Anna glanced indifferently at Kenneth, then descended the stairs, dragging the "passed out" Mara behind her.

Mara bit back the pain, seething with resentment. Couldn't this woman carry her down the stairs properly instead of dragging her like some rag doll?

Her legs were probably covered in bruises!

And why on earth was Kenneth here?

Mara had planned to trap Aaron and Vivienne together and then bring Percival over to witness. Even if nothing happened, the misunderstanding would be enough.

Without Percival, and with a rift between her and Aaron, her mission would be complete.

But Kenneth ended up being the one to show up, ruining everything!

Idiot!

It wasn't until nightfall that Aaron finally opened his eyes, lying atop Kenneth.

With a throbbing headache, he sat up, parched and clueless about what had happened.

"Dude, you've been sitting on my junk," Kenneth groaned.

Aaron jumped back as if electrocuted, stumbling until he hit a dresser, finally snapping to his senses.

"What the... How did you end up here? What the hell were you doing?"

Kenneth sat up, cradling the fire extinguisher like a prized possession. "I should be asking you. You've been on top of me the whole day. You've got some Hulk strength or something; I couldn't even shove you off. Look at this bruise!"

Kenneth lifted his shirt to reveal a red mark on his chest where Aaron had been lying.

Just then, Anna, who had been waiting, walked in to check on them and caught Kenneth with his shirt up and Aaron blushing.

She blinked. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt."

With that, Anna hurried downstairs, thinking she had chosen the worst possible moment to appear.

Kenneth tried to follow her, but Aaron held him back.

"Explain yourself! What's going on here?"

All Aaron remembered was being locked in a room with Vivienne, who seemed to be checking his pulse, and then nothing else.

As for why Kenneth was there and what Anna was doing there, he was utterly lost.

Kenneth sighed. "I came here to sort you out. What were you doing here, and why were you holding Vivienne's hand like that? I rushed in to rescue her from your clutches, and you just dragged me down and laid on top of me, trying to rip off my shirt. If I hadn't knocked you out with the fire extinguisher, my virtue would've been compromised!"

Aaron frowned, clueless. "You brought a fire extinguisher?"

Kenneth licked his lips, guilt flickering in his eyes.

The truth was, he had received a text from Percival saying Anna was coming over to discuss some college prep with Aaron, so he brought the fire extinguisher as a precaution for the confrontation. But he hadn't expected to find Aaron and Vivienne in a bedroom, which altered his plans somewhat.
