The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 200

Almost done with breakfast, Dorian remembered a call he got from Dawson yesterday.

"Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you guys." He continued. "We're moving house today. We're moving to a villa in Jade Garden Residences."

"Mr. Hawthorn, you bought a house?" Vivienne frowned.

The prices in Jade Garden Residences were even higher than in Tranquil Estates. If it was a villa, it would cost millions.

"No, but I might in the future." Dorian couldn't help but grin at the thought of this unexpected good fortune.

"See, Jade Garden Residences is a real estate development by our company, and their planning department wants to use real-life experiences as a promotional strategy for the villas. Somehow, they chose our family.”

"My boss, Dawson, told me yesterday that as long as our entire family lives in their model house for a month, not only would they give me a bonus, but they would also sell me the villa we're living in for a much lower price than market value. I thought it was a great opportunity, so I agreed."

After hearing that it was Dawson's scheme, Vivienne decided not to interfere.

"You handle it. I have no objections."

Percival, on the other hand, was looking skeptical. He felt that there was something odd about it. "Dorian, Cordelia, I've been looking for a place to stay lately. You wouldn't mind if I joined you for this experience, would you? I'm also considering buying a villa in Jade Garden Residences."

Dorian was about to refuse, but Cordelia shot him a look, and he relented.

With Vivienne and Percival getting along so well, it would be good to give the couple some space to nurture their relationship.

So he reluctantly nodded.

"Dad, will we get to live in a big house from now on?" Thaddeus asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes." Dorian answered as he patted Thaddeus' hair affectionately.

Upon seeing his son's expectant eyes, he decided that he had to buy the villa. Besides, he might not get another chance to take advantage of such a bargain.

"Since we're only going to be staying there for a month, we'll just take some essentials. You don't have to worry about the moving."

"Alright." Vivienne agreed. She had other things on her mind, and after finishing her breakfast and cleaning up her dishes, she said, "I'm off to school."

"I'll come with you." Percival offered.

"What are you going to do at school? There's no PE class this week, and you're a PE teacher." Vivienne teased.

"I'm also looking for the person you're looking for, so why not go together?" Percival replied simply.

Vivienne's gaze flickered. She was indeed going to school to look for someone.

Anna.

She had noticed the girl's skills on the basketball court, and after witnessing her defusing a bomb, she was sure that Anna was the child she had been looking for.

When Vivienne and Percival arrived at Cloudcrest High School, they learned from Lysander that Anna had transferred to Rivenwood overnight.

"The kidnapping must have scared her. That's probably why she decided to transfer suddenly." Lysander said with a frown. He couldn't understand why Anna would choose to transfer to Rivenwood a week before the college entrance exams.

But then, Anna had scored sixth in the whole grade in the last exam. Even if she transferred to Rivenwood, she should be able to get into a good university.

Vivienne stayed silent. She and Percival had been looking for Anna for so long, hoping to learn the truth about her mother's last mission and the potion incident. And now, she had just disappeared like that.

Just then, her phone buzzed. She took it out and saw a message from an unknown number: [Ms. Vivienne, I know you have many questions. Come find me at Rivenwood. I'll be waiting.]

Anna!
