The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 857

Cecilia was on the phone, her voice cracking through sobs of despair.

Percival frowned deeply, "What in the world is going on?"

"Your dad, I caught him cheating!" Cecilia's voice was almost a shout, overwhelmed by the shock of what she had witnessed.

Percival paused, not quite comprehending, "What did you say?"

His dad caught cheating?

That had to be a joke.

Everyone who knew Nathan was aware of his devotion to his wife.

Cecilia had been the apple of Nathan's eye for years, never wanting for anything.

And now she was talking about catching him cheating?

Percival thought it sounded like a bad punchline.

"Your dad and Mara Boyd..." Cecilia couldn't finish, breaking down into tears again.

Percival's expression darkened.

Mara?

He had almost forgotten about her!

Vivienne looked equally troubled. Cecilia had been nothing but kind to her, treating her like her own daughter, and she would not stand for anyone causing her distress.

She had initially left Mara and Huxley Boyd because she knew they were connected to Abigail.

Although Vivienne could track down Abigail, finding her exact whereabouts was another challenge, given her elusive nature.

Her plan had been to deal with the Abernathy and Perez families first, then use Huxley to lure out Abigail.

It seemed they had made the first move.

Fine by her!

Seems like they were asking for trouble.

After a moment of silence, Percival sternly told Cecilia, "Vivienne and I will be right there."

He hung up the phone without another word.

What was usually a fifteen-minute drive turned into a twenty-minute race due to Cecilia's emergency.
