The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 94

Vivienne lifted her head, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

She stared at Arabella for a moment, then suddenly smirked, "So what if I stole your thunder?"

Bertha and Doreen were taken aback. Since when did Vivienne become so blunt?

It was clearly her who saved Faye. Wasn't she falling right into Arabella's trap by admitting this?

Arabella was equally surprised by Vivienne's response.

She knew very well that it was her treatment that almost killed Faye.

She didn't know how Vivienne had such superior medical skills, but if it wasn't for Vivienne, the Baker family would never have let her off the hook.

But luckily, Vivienne happened to save Faye after her. So she couldn't blame her for turning the tables.

After all, Vivienne was just a country bumpkin. Who would believe her?

With this thought, Arabella asked angrily, "Why would you do this? What good does it do you to harm me? Remember, you're also a daughter of the Hawthorn family. Whatever happens to either of us, it's not good for you, nor for the Hawthorn family."

Vivienne put her hands in her pockets and looked down at her, "Since when did I give a hoot about the Hawthorn family?"

She had an aura of power that made Arabella seem small in comparison.

Especially when she looked into Vivienne's eyes, Arabella always felt like Vivienne could see right through her.

She instinctively stepped back, then retorted, "Yes, you cut off ties with the Hawthorn family, but you still carry their blood. Your father is the legitimate son of your grandmother. That's an undeniable fact. Your wellbeing is tied to that of the Hawthorn family."

"Also, since you returned, I haven't done anything wrong to you. Last time you made Mr. Ellington believe that I stole your credit. Now you're blatantly taking mine. That's a bit too much, don't you think?"

"Hmph," Vivienne flicked a stray hair off her cheek, a wicked grin on her face, "So what?"

"You!" Arabella was furious, "I just wanted an apology from you and an explanation to Ms. Doreen and the others. But if you're going to act like this, don't blame me for not being nice."

Vivienne chuckled, "What are you gonna do?"

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Arabella turned to Doreen, "Mrs. Doreen, aren't you going to explain this to me?"

Doreen was already fuming, "I'm already being nice not to confront you, and you still want an explanation? Is this how the 'talented lady' of Havenwood behaves?"

Arabella, not bothered by the insult, smirked, "I see how you feel. If anything happens in the future, don't blame me for not considering our families' relationship."

With that, Arabella turned around and left.

After she left, Doreen turned to Vivienne, "Ms. Hawthorn, why did you admit to stealing Arabella's credit? You were the one who saved Faye. Aren't you just causing trouble for yourself by saying this?"

Vivienne smiled faintly, "What's life without a little trouble?"

Doreen was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
