The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 901

Robbie Wright remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Even if Arthur Linklater and Sasha Perez do get married, I'll find you a suitable match, Alyssa. You're my one and only sister. And, hey, try to make amends with Grandpa, will you? You know how upset he was last time. It's important to keep the peace."

Alyssa Wright lowered her head, murmuring softly, "Got it, brother."

But how could any match compare to Arthur?

The next day.

Vivienne Hawthorn and Percival Ellington were at a hospital, where the body from the previous night had just been brought in for examination.

Percival had planned to review the findings first before sharing them with Vivienne, but since she was free, she decided to join him.

Vivienne approached the body and pulled back the white sheet covering the deceased's face. With gloves on, she pressed on the corpse's skin, noting its pallor and rigidity, indicating death had occurred between one to two days ago.

It seemed the victim had not been dead long before her heart was removed.

Inspecting the chest cavity, she noticed the skin was intact, save for a small incision. Whoever had removed the heart had done so with precision, leaving minimal external damage.

After a thorough examination, Vivienne found no other injuries, suggesting the body hadn't been tampered with further.

Despite the tranquility of the victim's expression, the scene was grim.

Leaving the hospital, Percival wrapped his arm around Vivienne, guiding her outside.

"Find anything?" he asked gently.

Vivienne shook her head, "Nothing conclusive. This is just the first body we've come across. We'll need more cases to form a pattern."

She mentioned that neither Draven nor the Frostfire Intelligence Agency had provided any leads, suggesting this case might be tough to crack.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, a hint of intrigue in her voice, "Dracon Linklater has been acting up lately. Maybe it's time we dig into that."

Percival smiled, a light flicker of interest in his eyes, "I'm curious about the Grimshaw family's heirloom too."

After their investigation, Percival suggested, "I'll take you back to the Linklaters. Mom and dad are about to get hitched, and they could use your help. Once there's more on the heart removal case, I'll let you know."

Vivienne nodded, then added, "Guess I'll be witnessing their lovefest. Next time you pick me up, how about making me some strawberry cheesecakes?"

Percival's smile widened, affectionate, "It's been a while, hasn't it? Consider it done, my little glutton."

Upon arriving at the Linklater residence, Vivienne stepped out of the car, bidding Percival a tender goodbye before entering the grand hall.
