The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 551

Listening to Ronald's spiel, Vivienne felt a sting of insult to her intelligence.

Carl had a hematoma in his head?

And it was scattered by a bump?

Did they really think she would not know if there was a hematoma?

Vivienne downed the remnants of her wine, "Hand over Carl’s rehab center address to me. I'll visit him after this busy spell is over. I can't let Faye turn into a widow, can I?"

Ronald looked at Vivienne, "Vivienne, I truly regret bothering you with this, asking you to go all that way..."

"Cut the nonsense, hand it over." Vivienne was visibly irked.

And to think she assumed Carl fell into a vegetative state for some grave reason, only to find out it was a mere bump on the head.

A hematoma, really? After the surgery she had performed, how could there possibly be a hematoma left in Carl's head?

Seeing Vivienne's genuine anger, Ronald quickly sent Carl's rehab center address to her, "Carl is stable now, and he’s got professional caretakers there. You don’t have to worry."

"Alright, you guys carry on. I'm heading out." Vivienne was tired and, after a short farewell, went to find Percival for the ride home.

Darren and Ashley escorted Vivienne and her companion out.

"Boss, my mom said she's with my dad hosting guests, so they can’t see you out. But she wanted me to give you this; she noticed you didn’t eat much tonight. Have something to fill you up on the way home."

Darren now addressed Vivienne as Boss.

Darren handed over a bag filled with food lovingly prepared by Melissa.

"Thank Auntie for me," Vivienne said, taking the bag.

Then, Darren handed her an invitation, "But boss, looks like you owe a gift."

Vivienne looked at the invitation in surprise. "You're getting married? Did you notify the company? Who’s the bride? Are there any clauses in your latest contract requiring you to stay single? If you cost me a dime, I swear I'll wring your neck!"

Darren was the second hottest star in Rainbow Entertainment after Stephen. His sudden marriage was bound to cause a stir.

Vivienne was not against marriage, but it better not come out of her pocket!

Darren was speechless, feeling a chill at his neck. "Boss, could you at least read it before jumping to conclusions?"

Ashley chuckled. "Really. Even if my brother wanted to get married, he'd need someone willing first."

Vivienne opened the invitation to find it was a celebration of the billion-dollar success of Betrothed Understud.

The TV series had already aired!

"Stephen and my sister walked the red carpet today. They would have delivered this personally if they could. They've been working their tails off; many are shipping them for real now, boosting our company's revenue. Boss, don’t you think you should give a generous gift?"

Vivienne nodded. "It's in a week, right? Okay, tell Kala I’ll be there."

This was a chance for profit, not to be missed!

On the way back, Vivienne sent Carl’s address to Draven.

[Check his doctor and condition.]

Draven responded quickly, and Vivienne turned off her phone.

The day's events had drained her. It was the first time a day that started with a strawberry cheesecake did not turn out to be as sweet.
