The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 849

Arthur found himself at the brink of losing his cool, desperately trying to smooth things over with Jasper. "No, Dad, you've got it all wrong. I'm your son, from now on!"

He couldn't fathom why, despite being a decisive leader on the battlefield, he turned into a bumbling mess in front of his future father-in-law.

Jasper was seething, and Arthur knew he had to fix this fast. If Jasper had a heart attack or something, Karen definitely wouldn't marry him.

But as soon as Arthur finished his plea, Maddox and his brothers were up in arms. "Arthur, have you lost your mind? If you become Dad's son, what does that make us?"

"And you, the so-called War God, barging into someone else's house trying to replace us. What would your father say?"

Arthur waved off their concerns. "Don't worry about him; he's got plenty of sons. He won't miss me."

Yorick, another brother, chimed in, "This ungrateful child is driving me insane!"

Jasper was fuming. "I've got enough sons, thank you very much!"

"But none of them is a War God," Arthur retorted, dead serious. "Imagine how impressive that would be?"

The brothers were dumbfounded by Arthur's shamelessness.

Losing his patience, Jasper shouted, "Get him out of my house, now!"

And with that, a group of the Perez family's staff rushed in and, without giving Arthur a chance to fight back, escorted him out of the house.

Outside the Perez mansion, Shane and Dante were shocked to see Arthur being thrown out. They rushed over. "Arthur, are you okay?"

Arthur dusted himself off. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just seems my father-in-law isn't too fond of me."

Shane and Dante were speechless.

Arthur looked back at the closed doors of the Perez home and sighed. "Looks like winning over my father-in-law and daughter is going to take some work."

"Wait, Jasper doesn't accept you as his son-in-law?" Shane couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Arthur explained, "Think about it. Your daughter gets pregnant, the guy disappears for twenty years, leaving her to raise the child alone. How would you feel?"

Shane didn't hesitate. "I'd break his legs!"
