The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 487

Vivienne was cool as a cucumber as she scrolled through her phone, eventually pulling up a photo and passing the device to Belle.

"Is this the mark of White Tiger?" She asked, her voice steady and casual.

Belle snorted with a smirk. "So what if it is? Even if you found the mark, you won't catch him."

Vivienne let out a dismissive laugh. "How can you talk such a big game without ever having seen the guy?"

That caught Belle off guard. She did not expect Vivienne to know that White Tiger had chosen to not work with her but with the true boss of GTO, the elusive F-Poison.

In other words, White Tiger had not even considered her despite her being GTO's right-hand woman.

Vivienne gulped down her coke a little too fast and burped without a hint of embarrassment, which made Percival chuckle softly as he patted her back gently.

"Easy there, no one's fighting you for it."

Vivienne flashed him a coy smile and a look that said more than words could.

Across from them, Belle cursed under her breath, "You two really have no shame."

Unfazed, Vivienne leaned against Percival's shoulder. "So, spill it—where's your mother?"

Belle's eyes widened in shock as if she had heard something unspeakable. It took her a moment to gather herself.

Indeed, Vivienne was asking about her mother!

After a pause, Belle finally found her voice. "What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Percival pulled out a document. "This was found in the GTO lab. It confirms that you and your boss are mother and daughter."

Belle was taken aback. Vivienne had managed to dig up something no one in GTO knew—their connection.

The document was a blood analysis report with her name and F-Poison's, indicating a maternal link.

Vivienne took the paper. "Oh, not biological? So, F-Poison adopted you, and you've been working for her out of gratitude."

Belle spat with disdain. "What do you know? You'll never understand the kindness my mother has shown me. Don't stand there acting all high and mighty. You think I'd tell you where she is? In your wildest dreams?"

Vivienne's eyes darkened. "So, for all that kindness your mother showed you, you killed my mother!"

In a flash, Vivienne lunged across the room and grabbed Belle by the throat with a grip that could snap it in an instant.

In Calista's lab, Vivienne had found more than proof that Belle was F-Poison's adopted daughter; she had uncovered a phone.

The last call made from that phone was to her mother on the very day she died.

Only Belle's fingerprints were on it, preserved in an evidence bag stored in the GTO lab.

After a decade, the device still held a charge—a testament to the technology her mother had tinkered with. Even the devices GTO used were from her mother.

They had a real penchant for imitation.

Belle struggled to breathe under Vivienne's vice-like grip, her face turning red.

"It wasn't... me... I never... never even met... Karen!"

Percival stepped forward, placing a hand on Vivienne's shoulder. "Vivienne, she was only fifteen ten years ago. It wasn't her."

Vivienne hesitated, then reluctantly let go.

Indeed, at twenty-five, Belle posed no threat, much less at fifteen. But Vivienne knew the last call to her mother came from that phone—if not Belle, then it had to be F-Poison.

Except the phone bore no prints but Belle's.

One possibility remained.

F-Poison and Belle shared a fingerprint!
