The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 275

Charlotte shot a glance at everyone present and muttered even more curses under her breath.

She then turned to Vivienne. "Vivienne, we Redwoods may not be a big name in Rivenwood, but I still have some standing here. If anyone dares to give you trouble, the Redwoods would be the first to take offense."

It wasn't just Charlotte speaking.

She had long considered Vivienne as her closest confidante. Even if she wasn't capable of much, she was willing to step forward for Vivienne whenever needed.

This was also a reminder of what her grandmother and parents had told her before they arrived in Rivenwood.

Vivienne had done her family a great favor, and they were known to repay their debts.

Her parents were concerned about Vivienne's situation with the Brooks family, so they asked her to speak up.

They had arrived late and were unaware of the drama that had unfolded in the banquet hall.

On the way, Logan caught a glimpse of a live stream claiming to show Vivienne. The moment they heard about it, they hurried over.

Arriving at the entrance of the banquet hall, they heard someone blaming Vivienne for Eddy's kidnapping. Charlotte couldn't hold back her anger.

Bullying Vivienne?

They would have to face the repercussions from the forty-odd students of Class Eighteen.

Vivienne smiled. "Alright."

She accepted the kindness of those who offered it, and she would return it in kind.

This sudden interruption left many of the invited guests at the banquet and the Brooks family themselves taken aback.

Scott was the first to regain his composure. "Vivienne, what just happened? Eddy..."

Vivienne turned her gaze toward him as her expression slowly returned to its cold indifference. "Mr. Brooks, your nephew drugged my dress and prepared a man in advance."

After she said this, another shocking scene appeared on the large screen.

The image was clear. Eddy's face was covered in injuries, and he was engaged in a scandalous act with another man!

Screams of shock erupted from the younger girls in the room, who hastily covered their eyes.

The adults were visibly angry. "This is outrageous! How does the Miller family educate their children?! Doing such acts in public is just…disgraceful!"

"Before this, I heard rumors about Eddy's secret preferences. I didn't expect him to not only have peculiar tastes but also a wicked sense of humor. Last time he live streamed himself doing a headstand while relieving himself, and now this... I'm speechless!"

"Report this! What kind of person does something like this? It's sick!"

Vivienne looked at the screen and was actually slightly shocked.

She raised her curious eyes to look at Percival, wondering if all this was his doing.

She had sensed the danger early on and had planned to let them take Eddy.

Draven was waiting outside for Eddy, and Eddy wouldn't have a good time if he was taken.

But she hadn't expected this to be live streamed again.

Percival raised an eyebrow. 'If they think they can harm you, they should be ready to face the consequences.'

Vivienne was shockingly surprised by how swiftly he took revenge.

Alright then. Her Mr. Wolf was indeed quite cool.

Suddenly, she felt that relying on Mr. Wolf wasn't such a bad idea.

A shriek interrupted her thoughts.

Baron and Judith stood to the side, watching Paula coldly without speaking.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Eddy had tried to get back at Vivienne and had ended up falling into a trap.

They brought this on themselves, and now Paula was trying to blame Scott?

"So, he can't go into her dressing room? Eddy is her cousin! Why can’t he call her out of her room?" Paula scoffed. "I see how it is now. You've never cared about us."

Paula glared at Vivienne and spoke in an ice-cold tone. "You wretch! It's all your fault! Why couldn't you just stay in the countryside? Why did you come to Rivenwood? Why did you return to the Brooks family? You're just a jinx! You're the reason why my Katara can't come back!"

Her voice rose with each accusation. She seemed to be teetering on the brink of hysteria.

Ashley, who was standing on the sidelines, finally couldn't bear it any longer. "Paula, don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" She interjected. "Who doesn't have your back in our family? Aren’t we always giving way to you? And besides, if, as a cousin, I feel awkward entering my cousin's room, don't you think it's even more inappropriate for a man to do so? You've been picking on Vivienne from the start, and as for this incident, he got what was coming to him.

And more than that, this is Vivienne's home. Why shouldn't she be able to return? When Katara went missing, it wasn't Vivienne's fault, so why are you blaming her? Aren’t you being unfair?"

"Shut your mouth!" Paula snapped. "Who asked for your opinion?!"

"I'm just speaking the truth! Besides, you say Vivienne set up our cousin, Eddy, but do you have any proof?" Ashley retorted defiantly.

"You!" Paula was momentarily speechless.

Did she have any proof?

Of course not.

This was supposed to be her weapon against Vivienne.

Why would she leave any proof behind?

"You don't have any proof! But I do!" Suddenly, Fiona, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
