The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 273

Baron's forehead was scrunched up in worry.

He turned towards Scott, asking, "What's happening? Why hasn't Vivienne shown up yet?"

"I’m not sure." Scott glanced towards the staircase. "She should be out soon. Let's wait a bit longer."

Percival, with his deep-set and icy eyes, turned his gaze towards the lounge at the top of the staircase. His stern face was devoid of any trace of emotion.

After a moment of silence, he gave out a command to Thomas. "Go check on her."

Thomas nodded. "Alright."

Just as Thomas was about to ascend the staircase, a shrill voice suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God! What's going on? Stardust is live streaming and claiming that the Brooks family's little princess is being promiscuous! What the hell? Isn't the Brooks family’s little princess in the lounge?"

Thomas halted in his tracks, furrowing his brows at the speaker.

The speaker was Ashley's friend. Her eyes were widened in shock as she stared at her phone.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly pulled out their phones to watch the live stream.

The title boldly read, "Shocking! The Brooks family's little princess caught in the act during her own banquet. For more details, tune in now!"

In the blink of an eye, the live stream was swarmed with viewers.

The host hadn't shown their face, and the live stream was pitch black. However, the flirtatious voices of a man and a woman could be heard clearly.

Even though the screen was black, the seductive voice of the woman bore a striking resemblance to Vivienne's.

"Oh my God!" Ashley instinctively scanned the room. "This can't be my cousin…"

She didn't dare finish her sentence. She was afraid of stirring up trouble and drawing attention to herself, so she immediately shut her mouth.

Although she hadn't spoken much to Vivienne, she could still recognize her voice.

The voice wasn't exactly like Vivienne's, but it was close enough to raise doubts.

What was going on?

Wasn't Vivienne supposed to be getting ready in the lounge?

How could she be doing such a thing?

And she was streaming it?!

Ever since Vivienne returned to the Brooks family and received everyone's adoration, Ashley had began feeling a bit uncomfortable. But she could discern that Vivienne wouldn't do such a thing.

Could this be Vivienne’s way of taking revenge against the family?

Was she seeking retaliation because Scott had mistaken Arabella for her?

"No wonder Ms. Vivienne has been refusing to come out. She's been too busy fooling around in the lounge."

"Tsk, tsk. This Ms. Vivienne is quite something. Normally, people would do such things in secret, but she's doing it out in the open. She’s even broadcasting it. How much does she despise her family?"

"Maybe she's just lonely. I heard that Ms. Vivienne grew up in the countryside with no one to teach her any better. That's probably why she's doing such a shameless thing."

Amid the gossiping crowd, the large screen in the hotel's ballroom suddenly lit up.

The screen was connected to Stardust’s live stream.

The voices from the live stream echoed through the ballroom's speakers, causing the faces of the guests to flush with embarrassment.

Especially the female guests.

Scott's face was visibly strained. Before he could say anything, Calista glanced at him. "Maybe Vivienne isn't feeling well. Should we go check on her?" She slyly suggested.

No sooner had she spoken than she felt a chill coming from nearby.

She turned to see Percival's eyes narrowing. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, and it was aimed directly at her. His aura was seriously intimidating; it made him seem like a demon from hell who was ready to take a life at any moment.
