The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 372

Timothy was in disbelief.

He glanced at Scott and said urgently, "Come on, bro, can you please say something? Weren't you the one who got the paternity test done? We all saw the results. They confirmed without a doubt that there's a biological connection. Vivienne has been through a lot over the years, and now, with Calista back, she's been put through the wringer again. If this turns into another wrong accusation, she's going to lose all her love for the Brooks family."

Scott turned to look at Vivienne. She sat there with the composure of a calm sea, unaffected by the astounding news.

It seemed this revelation was not even worth batting an eyelid over to her!

She was not just like Karen; she surpassed her!

Scott stayed silent for a moment, then finally spoke in a deep voice, "Mom, stop this nonsense. Vivienne is my daughter!"

Despite the nagging feeling inside him that Vivienne might not be his biological child, the evidence was clear.

Ten paternity tests had all confirmed the relationship. And the result of the eleventh was still pending.

This time, he had employed the services of Frostfire Intelligence Agency, a globally connected organization that would surely determine whether Vivienne was indeed his daughter.

Vivienne met his eyes and smiled – a smile enigmatic and profound.

Judith, on the other hand, was panicking. "No, she isn't! I don't know why the tests show that Vivienne is your biological daughter, but I know she's not! She doesn't resemble you at all! Look at Calista – her eyebrows, eyes, nose, they all look like you!"

In fact, she had secretly commissioned several paternity tests herself.

Yet, the results still confirmed the relationship between Scott and Vivienne.

She simply could not fathom why!

Her gut told her Vivienne was not Scott’s biological daughter, and her gut was rarely wrong!

This was why, when she learned Paula was planning to steal Scott’s sperm for Mila, she covertly lent a hand.

A woman like Mila was far from her ideal daughter-in-law. At that time, it seemed the best course of action.

Only if Mila bore Scott's child could she drug Karen, arrange for someone to sleep with her, and drive her away.

Her plans were flawless.

But then Scott proposed to Karen!

In a fit of pique, Mila married William.

Her plans were disrupted. Judith could only watch the engagement unfold, waiting for a chance to get rid of Karen for good.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the wedding, Karen ran off.

The wedding was called off, and Judith breathed a sigh of relief. Nonetheless, she feared Karen's return, so she joined Scott in the search for her, only to discover that Karen had been pregnant when she left.

Her face darkened at that news. That child, whether Scott's or not, must never return to the Brooks family!

Despite all her schemes and defenses, she had never anticipated that Vivienne could be Karen's child!

Had she known it would come to this, she never would have insisted on sending Vivienne back to Rivenwood.

Scott glanced disdainfully at Calista, but his voice left no room for doubt, "Enough. Vivienne is my daughter, and I won't tolerate any more questioning of her identity!"

His gaze at Calista intensified with disapproval.

What good was resemblance?
