The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 270

After she turned her around, the young man couldn’t help but break into a hearty laugh. “Dr. Pendleton, your medical skills are impeccable. I thought I’d be bedridden for at least a couple of weeks after that beating I took. But after your treatment, I’m up and about today.”

“Even with the best medical skills, your body can’t handle continuous reckless behavior. Don’t be so rash next time.” Calista warned him casually. “I can’t believe you meddled in Tam’s affairs. You even live streamed it. Look at where that got you.”

“But I gained a lot of popularity because of it.” The young man stuck out his tongue at Calista in a playful manner, showing her his phone. “Look, I’ve got a million followers now. That beating was worth it.”

Calista simply shook her head as the young man left, chuckling.

"That guy..." Paula asked in surprise. "Isn't he the one who live streamed Tam's mistress scandal?"

"Yep." Calista answered nonchalantly. "He's a popular live streamer known as Stardust. He’s quite the daredevil."

"These internet celebrities would do anything for fame. Last time, when Tam's fifth wife was ganged up on by the other four for feeling left out, Stardust sneaked in and live streamed the whole thing. He got seriously injured and was sent here."

"He's so bold enough to live stream anything?" Paula's eyes sparkled with intrigue.

"Yes. Anything." Calista answered, "He once told me about a celebrity who drugged her rival to create a scandal. He was going to live stream it but got beaten to the punch."

"I see." Paula munched on an apple, not asking any further.

Calista exchanged a knowing glance with Mila.

Two hours later.

Fiona was walking weakly in the hospital garden. The memories of being trapped for three days in the Spring Pavilion by the woman in a golden mask were still fresh in her mind.

When the resort staff found her three days later, she was severely dehydrated, starved, and had lost control of her bodily functions. It was a complete mess. If it weren't for her mask and her refusal to let them take it off, she would have died of shame.

It was her subordinates who finally received the message and secretly brought her to the hospital. She could never forget their faces as they tried so hard to hide their amusement.

It was clear that the Frostfire Intelligence Agency was behind the whole ordeal. She decided she would never cross paths with them again.

At least she managed to get her hands on the boar poison.

Last time, Isolde took the hit for Percival. This time, he wouldn't be so lucky.

But before that, she had to take care of one person, Vivienne.

She knew that it was Vivienne who had cured Isolde of the boar poison. So Percival's fiancée had to go.

Suddenly, she heard two people talking from behind a holly bush.

"Is it true that the Brooks family's newly recognized daughter could cause such a scene at her reunion banquet?"
