The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 226

A smile adorned Mila's face as she saw the young piano prodigy, Debra, alight from the black limousine. Debra, who, despite being much younger than her, was just as famous and had a fan base that was twice the size of hers. Today, many in the audience had come specifically to see him.

Initially, Mila was hesitant to invite Debra as a guest to her concert at Havenwood. She was afraid his fan base might overshadow her. But now she was hoping that Debra could vouch for her and probably salvage this chaotic situation.

But to her shock, the first thing Debra noticed after stepping out of the limousine was Vivienne, who was being carried by Percival. With a stoic expression, he asked her, "Are you hurt?"

"The great pianist, Mila’s daughter said my shoes would dirty the concert hall." Vivienne replied nonchalantly. "So, I didn't dare step foot into her concert."

Frowning deeply, Debra immediately retracted his foot, which was about to step onto the stairs. "Then I won't step foot in her concert either."

With that, he quickly retreated back into the limousine, followed by his equally impassive manager. The limousine then swiftly drove off, leaving even Debra's fans bewildered.

When they finally realized what had happened, they regretted not seizing the chance to ask for his autograph.

On the stairs, Mila stood dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe that Debra knew Vivienne.

What shocked her even more was that this young man was bold enough to disrespect her! After a brief exchange with Vivienne, he simply ditched her concert without so much as a goodbye?!

What was going on?!

All the while, Calista had been glaring at Percival, who was holding Vivienne in his arms. He carried Vivienne down the stairs and into the car, never once sparing a glance for her. Yet he treated the young girl in his arms with the utmost tenderness.

Why?

What made Vivienne so special?

No matter how many degrees Vivienne had, she was still jobless after resigning from her position at Cloudcrest High School. She was wasting her youth and a woman of no ambition. What made her worthy of Percival's attention?

Why couldn't he see how accomplished she was?

After a brief moment of anger, Calista quickly regained her composure. She had let her jealousy cloud her judgement, making her behave embarrassingly. That wasn't like her at all. She shouldn't be competing with Vivienne over trivial matters.

She needed to show Percival that she was the most accomplished woman in the world and that she was the only one worthy of standing by his side. She was determined to complete the research Percival had entrusted to her.

Mila’s piano concert, which started with grandeur and high expectations, ended in chaos and humiliation.

After two-thirds of the audience left and demanded refunds due to the unruly fans, Mila still performed.

However, perhaps because of the earlier incident, her performance was below par. She made several mistakes on stage. Even her loyal fans were disappointed, with many leaving halfway through.
