The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 855

At the mention of it, Jasper couldn't help but grimace.

He knew it was coming!

Yorick was on a warpath!

And Arthur, always stirring the pot!

Rising to his feet, Jasper cast a cold glance at Arthur. "Aren't you going to deal with this?"

Arthur, ever so calmly, picked up his fork. "Dad, I'm now Arthur South. Your son. And a son's problems? That's for a father to solve."

Bold as brass, he was!

Jasper was speechless.

Outside, Yorick had waited for quite some time without seeing Arthur emerge and decided to storm in.

Seeing Arthur still calmly eating his meal infuriated Yorick to the brink of explosion!

"You ungrateful wretch! How dare you still eat? Who gave you the right to change your surname? Is 'Linklater' too shabby for you?"

Before Arthur could respond, Yorick turned to Jasper, fuming, "And changing it to 'South'? Jasper Perez, playing smart, are you? With all your sons, and now you're poaching mine? Think I'm too old to fight back?"

Jasper had intended to have a civil conversation with Yorick, but seeing the latter's rage, he simply sat down and responded indifferently, "Your son insisted on changing his surname. What's that got to do with me? He slept with my daughter and then deserted her. I haven't even settled that score with your Linklater clan, and here you are, demanding answers?"

Jasper's tone turned icy, "What, because the Perez family doesn't wield power in court, you think you can trample all over us?"

"Rubbish!" Yorick bellowed. "He's been on the battlefield; when did he have time to sleep with your daughter? Your lies are..."

Mid-sentence, something dawned on him, and he turned to Arthur in shock. "The person you've been searching for... It's not Karen, is it?"

He had learned that Arthur had been desperately looking for a woman named Winnie after returning home. Twenty years ago, Arthur had a girlfriend named Winnie, but they had separated due to his military duties. For years, Arthur remained single, haunted by the memory of Winnie.

But finding Winnie after so long proved difficult, prompting Yorick to leverage his resources to help in the search.

With three sons all in their forties and none married, the Linklater lineage was in jeopardy. If Winnie could be found and marry Arthur, perhaps it would set a precedent for the younger brothers.

Moreover, if Winnie could bear a child, the future of the Linklater clan would be secured.

But upon learning that Arthur had changed his surname to 'South' and moved to the Perez residence with the intention of staying there permanently, Yorick was livid. He couldn't understand Arthur's decision, but Jasper's words provided a moment of clarity.

"Yes," Arthur confirmed, "She even bore me a daughter!"
