The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 957

Sasha rolled her eyes, “Look, Viv, your dad and I just felt a certain kinship with Winston. No strings attached. Having you is all we’ve ever wanted in this lifetime.”

Vivienne, always the planner, said, “After I get married, you two will definitely feel lonely. Maybe having another kid could fill that emotional void.”

Sasha snorted, “Just focus on your wedding. We can handle our future just fine.”

“We’ve decided, once you’re married, we’re heading abroad for a long-overdue honeymoon, making up for all those lost years.”

Vivienne paused before nodding, “Kids conceived on honeymoons are said to be happier, aren’t they?”

Sasha was speechless.

On their way back, Sasha remembered something she'd been meaning to discuss.

“Oh, about that sigil matter I wanted to talk to you about.”

“That originally belonged to a fading royal lineage in our homeland over two centuries ago. It ended up abroad, probably because a descendant took it with them, wanting to avoid detection. They split the symbols up, using it as their own family crest.”

Vivienne frowned, “Does it have anything to do with ancient warrior lineages?”

Sasha shook her head, “No, but in terms of status, that family ranked above those warrior lineages.”

Vivienne smirked, “That explains it.”

Abigail must be a descendant of that lineage.

Only someone with a strong backing and a high social standing could mobilize the top families to work for her.

One was a dynasty in decline for centuries, and the other, the hidden top families.

Both inherently carried an air of superiority.

Sasha added, “This could be a lead. If we see this symbol again, we should pay attention. It might give us an idea of how far their influence extends.”

Vivienne nodded.

Back at the Linklater estate, she sent the photos to Draven and asked the Nine Mystics Society to station a few members at the hospital.

Winston’s life was her responsibility.

And now with someone targeting Winston specifically, without even considering Colin’s deal, she couldn’t just stand by.

That night, Vivienne got a call from Cecilia Boyd, inviting her to the Ellington estate to try on wedding dresses and perhaps do some shopping the next day.

After agreeing, Vivienne called Percival to inform him about her meeting with Colin.

Percival’s voice was grave, “The Wright family is making their move.”

“If Abigail’s people are from the Wright family, we can’t exclude the possibility of more operatives working for her.” Vivienne explained.

After discussing further, Percival brought up Winston’s situation at the hospital, warning Vivienne to be cautious.

“This could be the Wright family’s doing. They might use it to smear the Linklater name.”

Vivienne scoffed, “If they think they can take on the Linklaters, they’ll have to get through me first.”
