The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 241

Paula caught the flicker of family reunion in Mila's sharp eyes.

“Is something up? Do you two know each other?”

“We've crossed paths before, and there was a minor misunderstanding." Mila, having regained her composure after the initial shock, shot Vivienne a genuine smile. "I apologize for my behavior last time, Vivienne. I hope you didn't mind.”

With that said, she quickly filled Paula in on the incident at the concert.

Being a smart woman, she knew Vivienne was Scott's daughter. To marry Scott, she couldn’t afford to have a conflict with Vivienne. It was better to apologize first.

“I don’t mind.” Vivienne curved her lips into a smirk. “After all, we’re not close.”

Mila’s smile froze, her face barely maintaining its usual composure.

Paula, enraged, rebuked her. “Vivienne! This is your elder. Given the relationship between the Brooks and Clark families, you should respect her. What kind of attitude is this?”

Vivienne's brow twitched in irritation.

God, this woman was annoying!

“Scott, aren’t you going to do anything about your daughter? If you hadn’t prematurely left her concert in Havenwood and made her too embarrassed to return to us, she wouldn’t have been in such a rush to get to the next city. She wouldn’t have had that accident and hurt her hand, making her have to cancel the rest of her tour!” Paula spat out these accusations viciously at Scott.

Hearing this, Judith and Scott felt a surge of guilt. They had indeed embarrassed Mila that day, but it was because of her outrageous behavior.

Given the long-standing relationship between the Brooks and Clark families and Mila’s regular visits to the Brooks Mansion, they should have saved her some dignity.

“Huh?” Vivienne interjected with her hands in her pockets and her eyes full of mischief. “Ms. Mila, are you too poor to afford a hotel?”

Mila was taken aback, and she frowned at Vivienne. “What do you mean?”

Vivienne lazily brushed a strand of hair off her face. “You had the option of staying at a hotel, but chose to rush off and ended up having an accident. And now you're blaming the Brooks?”

The previously guilty Judith and Scott suddenly realized their mistake.

Indeed, even if she was too embarrassed to stay with them, nobody forced her to rush to the next city that very day. Her accident had nothing to do with them.

Faced with this, Mila's face turned ashen, and a burning anger flashed in her eyes.

Vivienne was even more troublesome than Arabella.

Her accident was a lie. She did this because the incident at her Havenwood concert had spread widely. Many people posted videos online.

If Vivienne weren't Percival's fiancée, she might have hired a PR team to slander her. But with Percival's protection and knowing that Percival was Mr. Percy, she knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare smear Vivienne's name.

Therefore, she accepted her agent's suggestion to cancel the tour under the pretense of an accident to avoid any potential backlash from the Havenwood incident that could affect future concerts.

Paula, seeing Vivienne turn the tables on Mila in just a few sentences, glared at Vivienne in fury.

“It’s okay, Paula. This is my problem, so we can’t blame Scott.” Mila quickly intervened, but she still felt a burning hatred for Vivienne in her heart.

Just wait!

Time will tell!

Once she became the matriarch of the Brooks family, Vivienne would see hell.

With that, she sat next to Paula, attempting to change the topic.
