The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 510

Eliza had just tucked Wendy in when she bolted out the door.

“Hold on a sec, Percival!” she called out.

Percival was about to slide into his car when he heard his name being called. He turned around and asked, “What?”

Eliza tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Percival, we haven’t had a proper chat in ages. Can we catch up the day after tomorrow, maybe over dinner?”

Percival squinted slightly. “What’s on your mind, Eliza?”

She chuckled awkwardly, “I just wanted to talk to you about your mother, my sister, you know?”

Percival gazed at Eliza, his thoughts concealed by the dim light around them.

After a moment, he said with a deep voice, “Day after tomorrow it is.”

Eliza then pulled out something from her pocket, handed it to Percival without explanation, and headed back to the Boyd residence.

In the car, Vivienne sniffed the object curiously.

It was an antidote for some love potion!

“Why did she give you this?” Vivienne was puzzled.

Could it be that Eliza, a member of the Boyd family, did not want Gillian to marry into Percival?

Percival chuckled. “She probably wants to curry favor.”

Vivienne nodded in understanding. “So, are you going to accept this favor or not?”

“Absolutely,” Percival said, wrapping his arm around Vivienne and rubbing her shoulder, “It wouldn’t be fun otherwise. Can’t be completely uninvolved with the Boyds during this time.”

Percival had come to Sea City on a mission, and getting close to the Boyds was just a cover.

He needed to entangle himself with them when necessary to mask his true purpose better.

Now that his enemies were hidden and he was exposed, he had to tread carefully.

This was also why Percival had agreed to dine with Gillian the next day. Gillian was a crucial player in his mission and had to be handled with care.

Vivienne rested in Percival's embrace, observing the scheming look in his eyes.

“Mr. Wolf, what are you plotting now?”

Percival snapped back to reality, pinched Vivienne's face playfully, and said deliberately, “I’m thinking about how to properly attend to the matriarch tonight to ensure her satisfaction.”

Suddenly, Thomas slammed on the brakes so hard he nearly flew out of his seat!

“Sorry, Percival, a cat just dashed across the road.”

“My goodness, are Percival and his lady now discussing such explosive topics? This isn’t a mission — it’s a honeymoon!

Leopold Sterling, I demand a task swap. I’d rather guard Griffin’s bomb factory and get blown to bits if I have to!” He thought.

Thomas discreetly lowered the privacy screen in the car, thinking maybe Maddox should consider a new driver for Vivienne and Percival.

Vivienne’s cheeks turned crimson. She had only been teasing Mara, after all.

Who knew he would take her literally?

Percival watched the flushed face on his lap, felt a stir in his heart, and leaned down to kiss the blushing cheeks.

...

At the Perez Mansion.

“You mean that Vivienne has arrived in Sea City?” Diana Perez was having dinner when she overheard the servants discussing Juliet’s reassignment.
