The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 762

"Mr. Wolf, let's go."

Vivienne took Percival's hand, their eyes meeting with a shared look of tenacity and resolve.

It was time to tear open the curtain of complacency with this Sadie and Julian incident. It was about time those arrogant fools realized that not everything in this world could be shaken by the ancient warrior lineages!

Outside the police station, Harrison's half-lit face flickered in the dim light. He touched his swollen cheek gingerly, fingers coming away dusted in grime.

That was the mark left by Vivienne's boot when she kicked up the dirt in her haste.

"The Ellington family, the Hawthorn family... Good for them!"

At the Abernathy estate.

Early in the morning, Victoria's courtyard was abuzz with activity as people came and went, busy with their duties.

The moment Victoria stepped through the gate, a thunderous roar echoed clearly to her ears, and her emotions tumbled through surprise before settling on bewilderment.

She grabbed a passing maid by the arm, urgently asking, "What's going on inside?"

The maid, clutching a bottle of medicine, dare not conceal the truth, "The young master has been beaten, and the patriarch is in a fury."

Harrison was beaten?

Victoria's eyes darted around with intrigue, and though doubts lingered, her heart felt unexpectedly light.

She glanced back at Seaton, her stoic bodyguard in a sharp black suit, who shook his head indicating he was also in the dark about the situation.

Truth be told, Seaton was quite surprised himself.

Ever since Harrison arrived at the Abernathy estate, though he wasn't considered heir apparent by Gavin; he held a special place in his heart.

Within the Abernathy household, likely only Madeline could rival Harrison.

Despite Harrison's lack of personal combat skills, outsiders usually showed him a modicum of respect for Gavin's sake.

And now, someone had dared to attack him?

"Miss, shall we go in and have a look?" Seaton asked.

If there was a "Hater List" for Harrison, Victoria would be at the top of it, so she wouldn't miss such an amusing opportunity for the world.

Victoria's lips curled into a smile at the thought of Harrison's misfortune, "Of course. How could I miss such an entertaining spectacle?"

As she strode towards the parlor, the noise grew louder. Gavin's furious voice, accompanied by the sounds of tables being slapped and dishes crashing, could be heard from inside, "This is outrageous! Do the Ellingtons truly think they are the foremost power in Veridia?! That Vivienne, to think she would dare lay a hand on a son-in-law of the Abernathy family! This is outrageous!"

Victoria paused, her face tinged with sarcasm.
