The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 655

Vivienne didn't respond. The enigma of F-Poison still perplexed her heart. He was the first mystery she'd pursued for so long without any leads.

The same was true for Karen, of course.

"It seems the answer to the secret still lies in the potion," Karen said, gently tousling Vivienne's hair and pinching her cheek. "Come on, let's head to the lab."

Vivienne rolled over on Karen. "Mom, can we grab a bite before we go?"

"Why is it always about food with you?"

"Mr. Wolf always takes me for a treat before we head out. If you don’t, I’m not going anywhere!"

Karen's lips curved into a slight smile as she pulled out her phone and dialed Percival. "Your Vivienne is craving something delicious. Can you drop it off at YQ Research Center?"

Percival was in the middle of a meeting, but upon hearing the request, he immediately wrapped it up.

Nothing was more important than Vivienne wanting a delectable treat!

Watching her mother's cunning face, Vivienne grumbled, "I got all my sneakiness from you!"

"Well, you're my girl, aren't you? Let's get moving!"

There was no helping it; the only person who could truly handle Vivienne was Karen.

At the YQ Research Center, Percival arrived with a Japanese meal and decided to wait around.

Brody passed by Percival multiple times, rolling his eyes at each encounter.

Finally, Percival caught him. "Ever know what it's like to have an eyeball gouged out?"

Brody shivered but retorted, "You heartbreaker. Do you know what it feels like to be castrated?"

Percival was baffled; had he broken Brody’s heart or what?

Realization dawned upon Brody from Percival's expression, "Not me! That pig!"

Percival was even more confused now. Which pig was he talking about?

Brody rolled his eyes and dragged Percival into his lab.

Inside, they saw a small room with a person sitting in it, with only one eye and surrounded by photos of Percival.

Muttering something incomprehensible, this person caught their attention.

Brody scoffed, "She’s always a nuisance when I’m conducting experiments. The only way to keep her calm is by plastering your photos around, which is incredibly annoying."

Percival then remembered her name, Calista Pendleton.

Vivienne and Karen also arrived, each carrying a box of sushi.

"Is this girl’s organs starting to fail?" Karen inquired.

Brody pursed his lips. "Yes, but it's not my fault. I just conducted a few experiments on her!"

Without asking, they knew what kind of experiments Brody had subjected Calista to.

Brody leaned on the railing, looking at the somewhat maniacal Calista. "Vivienne, shouldn't you be finding me a new test subject by now? Although your medicine has been effective, and she is indeed slowly regenerating her organs, the human body's endurance is limited. Her organs will inevitably begin to fail, and by the looks of it, she won't last much longer."

Vivienne handed Percival a piece of salmon sushi. "Really? I’ll look for another candidate. Someone with a death wish, perhaps, and send them your way."

Brody nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, please hurry. But please, no more of your love rivals; I don’t want to be collecting your husband's photos everywhere."

Vivienne paused, popping the next piece of salmon into her own mouth and casting a glance at Percival.

Percival thought to himself: I'm being wronged here!

Brody: There's no innocent man in this world! Except for me, of course!
