The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 765

Kaitlyn's issues with her in-laws were, in reality, a mountain made out of a molehill.

She and Percival were now part of the country's elite, and in cases like theirs, where injustice was evident, all it took was a word to the right people and the wheels of resolution would begin to turn.

However, Kaitlyn's goals extended beyond merely dealing with the figures of the past.

Firstly, she wanted to send a clear warning to the ancient warrior lineage, and secondly, she sought to flush out those lurking in the shadows by making her presence felt.

After all, some folks preferred to operate from the background, which made things rather tricky.

Leopold, picking up on the signal, bellowed into the phone, "Jerry, did you catch that? Vivienne wants you to serve a notice to two individuals..."

Jerry replied with controlled irritation, "I heard you the first time. I'm not deaf. Tell Vivienne I'll have the delivery to her by this afternoon, and she shouldn't worry."

Leopold had the speakerphone on, and Jerry's cool voice filled the entire hospital room.

Vivienne gave him some more instructions before telling Leopold to hang up.

She spoke again, "Matthew sent me a message last night; they've found the person who slandered Julian. Kaitlyn, I'm going to have Anna come and help you with Julian later. As for your place, we've already sent someone for protection, so there's no need to worry."

"Thank..."

Kaitlyn choked up, unable to finish her gratitude as her phone jangled with urgency.

Tyler's voice came through, panicked and loud, "Kaitlyn, whatever you do, don't let the elders go online. That family has gone too far—they're playing the victim!"

"Oh, come on, these people sure move fast!" Leopold had already whipped out his phone at Tyler's advice against going online.

He tapped into social media, and the top trending hashtag was [#TeacherSexualAbuseLeadsToStudentSuicide]

From second to fifth place were related tags: [#CassidyResponds], [#Cassidy'sMotherSpeaksOut], [#JulianAbusesPower], and so on.

The video recorded by Zinnia alongside Cassidy, who was lying in a hospital bed, not knowing if he'd live or die, was pushed to the top by influencers.

The comment section was filled with outrage!

[This old predator should just die! At his age, he's still harming people! Why didn't the parents file a complaint at the time?]

[Is the department even capable of handling cases like this?! They arrest the guy and then let him go?! I seriously wonder if Julian has someone backing him!]

[Obviously! Who else could be so arrogant?]

[This old creep, why hasn't he been run over by a car by now?! How did he ever become a top-tier teacher? I can't believe what kind of students he's shaping!]

[I've got a scoop: I heard Julian is backed by none other than Miss Vivienne Hawthorn—yep, the future lady of the Ellington estate.]

[The person above, at least base your rumors on something. Ms. Vivienne was so young back then. She wasn't even in Rivenwood yet, hadn't been reclaimed by the Brooks. How could she back Julian?]

A slew of inflammatory and obscene comments scrolled before Leopold's eyes.

Even without a close relationship with Kaitlyn, he couldn't help but look more and more displeased.

Vivienne and Kaitlyn didn't need to check their phones to know how vicious the online mob was—Leopold's face said it all.

"They're certainly eager to get started."
