The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 32

Dorian shot up from his seat, stared at Percival angrily.

Tightly clenching his fists, he spat out, "Are you threatening Vivienne? Let me tell you straight, while others might be scared of you, I ain't. Don’t you dare force my little girl to marry you, I won’t allow it!"

Cordelia chimed in with a nod, "Damn right, I'm in for the fight too."

Vivienne pulled Dorian back, whispering, "Dad, chill. I agreed to get engaged with him willingly."

At this, Dorian and Cordelia were both floored, too stunned to react.

Once she gathered herself, Cordelia stammered, "Vivienne, didn't you say you didn't want to marry him? What's up now... Did he threaten you? Don't be scared, tell us. Your dad and I might not have any special powers, but we won't let you marry someone you don't want to."

After speaking, Cordelia shot Percival a death glare. "If he did threaten you, we'll sue his ass. I don't care how much power and influence his family has, they can't break the law."

Dorian didn't say anything, but the way he was glaring at Percival, it was as if he wanted to kill him.

How dare he do this to his daughter. Bastard!

Percival wanted to shout at them.

Threaten? I didn't, I really didn't. You're misunderstanding.

Vivienne rubbed her temples, "He didn't threaten me. I just want to get engaged with him."

Dorian didn't know what to say.

If Vivienne wanted to get married, he had no reason to stop her.

But Percival...

He glanced at Percival's leg, the guy's disabled. Could he protect Vivienne?

And Vivienne didn't seem like the type to take shit from anyone.

Her medical skills alone were enough to amaze many.

Dorian looked at Vivienne, "Are you sure about this?"

Vivienne nodded, "Yes. Don't worry, we're just getting engaged. I can still call it off if I change my mind."

Percival's mouth twitched at the corners.

This girl, they are not even engaged yet, and she's already considering backing out.

Dorian didn't know what happened between Vivienne and Percival, but he figured they must have gotten pretty close recently. Otherwise, Vivienne wouldn't have treated Percival's sister. So he didn't say anything else, "If you've made up your mind, we'll go with your decision."

Honestly, he had no idea Vivienne has medical skills.

"The engagement ceremony will be in ten days. We'll discuss the details after the party." Percival seemed to take the engagement seriously.

"Fine." Even though Dorian didn't stop Vivienne from getting engaged to Percival, he was extremely uncomfortable.

He had just found his daughter, and not even a month later, she was getting engaged.

Half an hour later, Arabella returned.

When she came in, she had two boxes in her hands.

She had all the gifts Percival gave her brought back, her expression was not pleasant, "Mr. Ellington, everything is here. You'd better check them to avoid confusion later."

Percival didn't even look at her, he simply said, "Thomas."

Thomas stood up, his face serious, and checked all the gifts.

Seeing this, Arabella's face darkened even more.

Damn Percival! He really was checking.

"Mr. Ellington, everything checks out." Thomas reported after he finished.

Percival turned to Vivienne, "Ms. Vivienne, I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. I'll prepare another gift to express my gratitude tomorrow."

"It’s fine!" Vivienne replied casually, "I saved Isolde. You have nothing to do with it."

"But the gift..."
