The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 591

F-Poison narrowed her eyes, her voice dropping to a serious growl. "What do you mean? Did this guy named Vesper save Vivienne, or because of him, you couldn’t drop the poison?"

F-Poison's rare display of emotion took Diana aback. "Yeah, it was Vesper who saved Vivienne."

She relayed the details of Vivienne's rescue by Vesper, which she had meant to share before, but F-Poison had seemed disinterested.

However, upon hearing the story, F-Poison's gaze turned gravely serious. "Are you sure that this Vesper guy stepped in after Vivienne drank the juice?"

"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Diana asked, perplexed.

F-Poison usually had little change in expression, whether it was committing arson or enjoying a fondue as if nothing mattered to her. But this time, Diana could see the weight in her thoughts.

After a moment, F-Poison let out a sardonic laugh, her eyes lifting to meet Diana's. "Go see Flynn again."

Diana's surprise was clear. "But we agreed on only one visit. How can I keep coming up with excuses to see him?"

"No matter the excuse, you must see him, Diana. If you want to stay in the Perez family, it's essential," F-Poison said, standing up, a dangerous aura enveloping her.

Swallowing hard, Diana pressed, "Can't you tell me why?"

A sly smile played on F-Poison's lips. "Sasha might be coming back."

Diana shot up. "What are you talking about? That's impossible! Didn't you say she was dead?"

The solemnity had vanished from F-Poison's face, replaced with mockery. "Dead doesn't mean she can't come back. Sasha's a clever one. You should be glad she remembers nothing."

"What do I do? One Vivienne is trouble enough, now with Sasha possibly returning? No, she cannot come back!"

Pacing in front of F-Poison, Diana was in a panic. "Right, I must see Flynn. He's F-Poison's apprentice, so he must know the details of Sasha's disappearance and how to deal with her."

With that, Diana grabbed her purse and hurried out.

F-Poison watched her go, a quiet chuckle escaping her.

After returning home, Diana concocted numerous excuses, knowing that asking to see Flynn would raise suspicions within the Perez family, especially from Maddox, whose hostility had grown since Willa's departure.

It seemed she had no choice but to turn to Dracon of the Linklater family. Even though they were uninvolved with CK, they had connections to GTO, and Yorick had once fought alongside Jasper in RST.

If Dracon could ask about Flynn in Yorick's name, it would not seem suspicious.

With that thought, Diana dialed Dracon's number.

"Diana, what brings you to call so late?" Dracon's voice held a hint of surprise.

"Dracon, you're still awake? Waiting for my call, perhaps?" Diana's voice was soft and teasing.

Dracon already harbored feelings for Diana, and her words only added to his affection.

"Yes, I've been waiting for your call for twenty years," he admitted.

Diana chuckled shyly. "There's a favor I need to ask of you. Can you help?"

"Your matters are mine," Dracon replied without hesitation.
