The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 565

Maddox had been ruminating for a long time. To alter the paternity test results right under Yuri's nose, the opposition must be formidable and well-prepared.

Taking out Vivienne's test result now would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

For Vivienne's safety and to swiftly uncover the mastermind, keeping her identity under wraps for as long as possible was imperative.

Everyone in the Perez family knew how much Jasper treasured Sasha.

With Sasha's daughter surfacing, Vivienne would become the Perez family's precious jewel. Frankly, the entire Perez family might end up belonging to Vivienne.

This would inevitably make her a target for the person pulling the strings.

Vivienne's safety could not be guaranteed in such a scenario.

Thus, Vivienne's identity must remain a secret for the time being!

Vivienne nodded. "Okay, I'll follow your lead, Uncle Maddox."

Maddox covered his eyes again. Hearing Vivienne call him 'Uncle' so many times, it was this one instance that pierced his heart the most.

He could not contain his tears, sobbing while saying, "Vivienne, you can't let anyone find out I cried in front of you, especially Yuri. Otherwise, even Natalia and Yasmine's kindergarten would hear about it."

Vivienne could not help but laugh through her tears at Maddox's antics.

"Got it," she assured him.

After a moment, Maddox regained his composure, handed Vivienne her phone back, licked his dry lips, and clasped his hands tightly together.

"Vivienne, how did Sasha really die? Who's your dad? What has your mom been through all these years?"

Maddox struggled to ask.

The Perez family had received Vivienne's background information early on, the first detail being her orphan status.

Now, having recognized Vivienne, Maddox also had to face the harsh truth that his beloved sister Sasha was no longer among the living.

As Vivienne recounted the story of her mother Karen's suicide, including her involvement with GTO and Vanguard Agency, she held nothing back from her closest kin.

At that moment, Vivienne felt she was not battling the world alone anymore.

Although Percival had always provided her stability, love and family were distinctly different comforts.

She could feel a void in her heart being silently filled.

Maddox was astounded. He had always imagined his sister to be a prodigy, but he never anticipated she would be this exceptional.

Sasha was truly the pride of the Perez family!

"My sister was the Lark that shook the whole Vanguard Agency. She was so close, and I had no idea," Maddox lamented with shock and guilt.

Although the Perez family had little direct contact with Vanguard Agency, they were still closely linked.

His sister having served as the captain of Vanguard Agency's special squad without his knowledge, despite his frequent dealings with the agency, was shocking, to say the least.

"Yeah, Wolf is Percival. He was my mom's most promising apprentice. After her suicide, he took over as the captain of the Vanguard Agency's special squad. After that, I lived anonymously, secluded in the mountains, rarely coming down."

Vivienne wished she could hand Maddox a tissue, but they lacked supplies.
