The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 284

Fiona was at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to respond.

She hadn't had time to look into Vivienne's relationship with this group, so she wasn't sure what was going on.

Right now, she was certain that she didn’t want to offend these people.

"Vivienne hasn't even married Percival yet, and you dare treat her like this? What will happen once she does?" Daniel looked at them coldly. "Do you think the Ellington family is untouchable?!"

"Don't get too cocky!" Ryan roared angrily. "The Ellington family doesn't need your advice on how to handle our business!"

"Is that so?" Jerry smirked. "Then, Mr. Ellington, let's see if we're qualified to teach you a thing or two!"

With that, Jerry picked up his phone and made a call.

Daniel and Eric also took out their phones and started dialing numbers.

"Immediately stop all business with the Ellington family. Cut off their cash flow."

"Cancel all collaborations with the Ellington family. Even if it's just downstream companies. All related projects must be terminated!"

"Carry out my orders. I want to see the Ellington family's stocks plummet today!"

Ryan and his crew were dumbstruck as they watched Jerry Perez and the others in action.

Individually, the Ellington family might not take these men seriously.

But if all eight of them worked together, even the Ellington family, the richest family in Rivenwood, wouldn't be able to handle it.

Before they could react, Ryan's phone started ringing.

"Mr. Ellington, we're in trouble! The Perez Group has canceled their collaboration with us, and goods are piling up."

"Our stocks have crashed. All our projects have been suspended, and our partners are saying they won't back down unless we apologize."

"Our suppliers are demanding payment. If we don't pay within an hour, they'll refuse to supply us."

Though Richard had chosen Percival as his successor, the Ellington family's business was still being managed by Ryan and his other two brothers. As for the youngest brother, he rarely came back to the city, so he was rarely involved in the company's affairs.

Now, with his other two brothers, Nathan and Henry, not present and Ryan's phone being bombarded with calls, the situation was getting out of hand.

This made Ryan's face turn deathly pale.

"Percival, these people are bullying the Ellington family." He pointed at Percival, who was watching from the sidelines and accused him of being too lenient. "Are you just going to sit back and do nothing?!"

Even though they were all Ellingtons, Percival seemed to be siding with the outsiders.

Percival raised his eyebrows indifferently. "I'm a nobody, Ryan. Remember?"

Rumors had been circulating that Percival was a waste of space, and it seemed they were still going strong.

Had the Ellingtons forgotten?

He might not like Vivienne's friends, but he didn't mind them taking a swing at the Ellington Group.

If Ryan and the others dared to disregard Vivienne, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

As for anything to do with the Ellington family's business, he didn't care about it unless it concerned his grandfather.

"Do you realize what you're saying?!" Cathy was so angry that she began to laugh hysterically. "The Ellington family is in trouble, and instead of helping your own family, you're siding with them?! Aren't you afraid the old man will be furious when he wakes up?!"

Percival gave her a slight smirk.

Ha!

If his grandfather woke up and learned about the situation, the first thing he'd do would be to scold him for not protecting Vivienne.

Percival didn't even bother to glance at Cathy. His gaze was solely fixed on Vivienne. "Vivienne saved my grandfather's life. She's a savior to the Ellington family."

"A savior?!"

Ryan couldn't believe his ears. He turned to Vivienne, angrily shouting, "The old man hasn't woken up yet, so you're still responsible!"

"If anything happens to him, how are you going to answer to the Ellington family?!"
