The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 255

Thomas was speechless.

Why did he have to do such a disgusting thing?

He cleared his throat and was about to approach Eddy when a voice sounded from outside the door.

"Vivienne, I heard you've got a nice stone. Quickly, give me a piece!"

Leopold’s voice arrived before the man himself.

Thomas paused.

His timing couldn't be better.

Such a disgusting thing was more suitable for Leopold.

Leopold burst in, noticing that the entire Brooks family was standing in the yard, including Richard and Cecilia. He paused. "Eh? What's going on here?"

He'd been tasked by Percival to settle Anna in, then deal with some things in the team. By the time he was done, the sun was setting, and the old man had called him about Vivienne's stone. He wanted him to see if Vivienne would sell a small piece.

Without even eating, he'd rushed over.

"Eddy made a bet with Vivienne. If he loses, he has to live stream himself doing a headstand while... relieving himself." Thomas glanced at Leopold. "And he lost."

"So?" Leopold asked, "Is he about to start his performance?"

Thomas nodded. "Yep, but he's not being cooperative."

"Not cooperating?" Leopold's voice rose a few octaves. "Does he have a choice? Don't worry, Vivienne; I'll handle this. I'm good at this. Just watch!"

Finally, a chance to impress Vivienne. Why not show off a bit?

With that, Leopold strode towards Eddy while cracking his knuckles and sporting a lecherous grin. "Eddy, I suggest you stay still. I'm not known for being gentle. If I rip your pants, you won't be able to go home."

Eddy was beside himself with disbelief.

If only he could move.

What did this have to do with Leopold?!

Angry, Eddy yelled, "Get away from me!"

Then he turned to Vivienne. "Vivienne! What's your game? I said I'd honor the bet! But not now! Get him away from me!"

"Wow!" Leopold raised an eyebrow in amusement. "You dare argue with Vivienne? Pow!"

He punched Eddy in the face. "Who gave you the right?"

"Eddy!" Paula immediately shielded Eddy and began crying out angrily, "If you dare touch my son again, I will…"

"Touch? Why not?" Leopold retorted, aiming a kick at Eddy.

"You!" Paula's face was ashen, and she turned to Baron. "Dad! Are you just going to stand there while your grandson is being bullied?"

Baron merely lifted his eyes. "A man should be responsible for his actions. He made a bet with Vivienne, and he lost. He should honor the bet."

Even though it was disgusting, at this point, Eddy had to face the consequences. Vivienne wouldn't let it go.

Vivienne had just returned, and Paula had caused so much trouble, so the young girl was bound to be angry.

So be it.

Let Eddy pay the price, so the Brooks family could find a little peace.

"What bet?! Vivienne obviously manipulated him!" Paula roared.

Calista, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back. "Mr. Brooks, even though Eddy lost the bet and should honor it, Vivienne was very confident about the gemstone when she bet with Eddy. It was like she did it only with revenge in mind."

Calista turned to Vivienne. "Vivienne, Eddy has offended you, so let me apologize on his behalf. Can we let this go? How will Eddy show his face anywhere in the future after broadcasting such a vulgar act? You're all family, so why cause such humiliation?"

Vivienne's eyes were cold. "You don't deserve my sympathy."
