The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 964

All of this felt like a dream to Vivienne.

She pondered if only in a harmonious household like the Perez's, such an event could unfold without rousing suspicion among the other members.

Uncle Luke indeed had a heart big enough to embrace the entire Perez family.

"Getting married tomorrow, feeling nervous?"

Sasha suddenly popped the question.

Vivienne calmly responded, "Not at all."

Sasha smirked, "Wasn't talking to you, but about the one who's been counting days on the phone."

Vivienne, "..."

Tradition kept her from seeing Mr. Wolf until the wedding day, adding to his anxiety, palpable even through their nightly phone calls.

Sighing, she stood up, "Mom, you really should stop eavesdropping."

Sasha muttered, "Wasn't eavesdropping. You were the one speaking so loudly..."

As Vivienne turned to leave, Sasha's tone grew serious, "Something's not right. Be prepared for a tough day tomorrow."

Vivienne paused, "My wedding will happen, no one can stop it."

"Oh, and..."

Vivienne suddenly turned back, "Remember to invite Winston from the Wright family tomorrow. We missed him at your and dad's wedding. He's held onto that; let's not forget this time."

Sasha was taken aback, realizing she had indeed forgotten.

Back in her room, Vivienne received a call from Draven.

"Young master, we've located Hunter. He was seen near Jericho Isle with an unidentified woman."

Jericho Isle, a woman.

Vivienne's eyes narrowed with determination, and she instructed Draven, "Notify the Nine Mystics Society. Everyone's on standby tomorrow."

She was resolved to deal with unfinished business once and for all.

The wedding day dawned with a procession from the Ellington family arriving at the Linklater residence. Percival, in a bespoke suit, entered with his groomsmen, Leopold and Thomas, by his side.

Meanwhile, upstairs.

Vivienne, in a diamond-studded wedding dress, sat calmly by the bedside, her gaze fixed on the assortment of nuts and snacks beside her, popping them into her mouth one after another.

She had been woken up at 5 AM. After hours of makeup and dressing, she hadn't even had breakfast...

If she didn't eat something soon, she joked to herself, she might faint from low blood sugar before exchanging rings.

Hearing the chatter downstairs, her bridesmaids, Charlotte and Griffin, became visibly anxious.

Charlotte paced nervously, "What do we do, Vivienne? Are they here already? I'm so nervous!"

Griffin, returning from the window, swallowed hard, "Me too. I just saw Leopold. What if they really storm in? Do we stop them or not?"

Vivienne, "..."

She suddenly missed Anna. That girl wouldn't have said a word in this situation.

Observing her flustered friends, Vivienne offered them each a date, "Want something to eat?"

Charlotte and Griffin in unison, "How can you still eat at a time like this?"

Vivienne was baffled by their sudden camaraderie.

And why did they think eating was a crime on her wedding day?

Soon, the sound of footsteps approached the door.

Percival's deep voice echoed, "Vivienne, I'm here to get you!"

Hearing Mr. Wolf's voice, Vivienne promptly replied, "Come in!"

Charlotte and Griffin scrambled behind the door, gesturing frantically, "He can't come in..."
