The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 1082

Leopold's smirk was loaded with sarcasm, "So, you really have a thing for Vivienne."

Connor narrowed his eyes, his emotions hidden, "If I like someone, I go after them openly. Why would I hide my feelings?"

Leopold rolled his eyes internally, "I'd advise you to give up now. Vivienne's not into your type at all. She'll never fall for you!"

Connor's reply stopped Leopold in his tracks, "Not everything has to be declared to the world. I just know when she needs me, I'll be there."

"You—" Leopold was so frustrated he could almost spit blood.

Where does this guy get his confidence from?

Does Vivienne even know?

The school bell rang, and someone whispered something to Connor. He glanced at Leopold, gave a slight smile, and walked away.

That smile seemed like a challenge.

Leopold was fuming. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and dialed Dawson, "Dawson, where are you? I've got something to tell you!"

Dawson was busy on the other end, "Make it quick. If it's nothing important, I'm hanging up. Don't disturb me at work."

Leopold clenched his teeth, "Someone's shamelessly chasing after Vivienne!"

Dawson paused, even more infuriated than Leopold, "What? Who dares to mess with Vivienne? I'll cut him down!"

"It's obviously..."

Leopold glanced around to make sure the coast was clear before whispering into the phone, "Where are you? I'll tell you in person."

Dawson immediately sent over his location.

It was his office in the city center.

Leopold checked his phone and then drove towards the city center at full speed.

He knew Vivienne and Percival's relationship better than anyone.

With Percival gone, he had to protect Vivienne.

And it definitely couldn't be Connor.

From the first moment he met Connor, Leopold felt a chill down his spine.

To elevate an unknown family to the top ranks of Rivenwood in just five years, not to mention the hidden martial prowess, who knows what shady dealings he might have been involved in?

Just the thought made Leopold uneasy.

Moreover, as a man, he couldn't stand Connor's affectionate demeanor toward Vivienne.

Hmph, as if he's worthy?

At 3:30 PM outside the nursery school.

As their classmates were picked up one by one, only they remained.

Where's their godfather?

Gone missing!

Isaiah's feet were numb from standing as he dialed Leopold using his smartwatch.

After more than a minute, no answer.

Juliette, anxious, caught Isaiah hanging up and asked, "No answer?"

Isaiah nodded.

Two calls and no response.

It was pointless to keep trying.

Their teacher, Kiera, approached them with an equally worried expression, "Juliette, Isaiah, what's going on with your godfather? Not answering calls or texts, this is really irresponsible!"

Juliette, already frustrated, retorted, "You're right, he's completely unreliable!"
