The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 11

Percival didn’t see it coming that the person he’d been searching for would turn out to be in the Hawthorn family. What was her connection with the Hawthorns?

Vivienne was also taken aback to bump into the guy she’d helped out before right here.

“Mr. Ellington, meet my granddaughter, Vivienne.” Beatrice introduced them, pointing at Vivienne.

Percival’s fingers, which were resting on his wheelchair, stopped abruptly. His deep gaze fell on Vivienne and his handsome face revealed a look of surprise.

She was the heiress of the Hawthorns? Vivienne?

A smile unconsciously spread across Percival’s face. If his fiancee turned out to be her, then that’d be…

Beatrice then introduced Vivienne to the rest of the guys. This is the head of the Ellington family, Richard, and the guy next to him is his grandson, Percival, your fiance.”

Upon hearing Percival’s name, Vivienne looked a bit shocked. Her eyes moved to his legs and she let out a small smile. Percival caught her meaningful gaze and rubbed his temples in resignation. The person he wanted to call off the engagement with turned out to be his lifesaver. And she even knew he wasn’t really disabled.

Vivienne moved her gaze away from Percival and greeted them politely, “Nice meeting you, Mr. Richard, Mr. Ellington.”

Percival responded politely. Then, he suddenly spoke up, “Ms. Hawthorn, I think you might’ve misunderstood me. What I said that day was, don’t call off the engagement.”

Vivienne was taken aback. What a cheeky guy!

Leopold and Thomas were also speechless. Mr. Ellington’s change of attitude was truly astonishing. They’d clearly heard him say that he wanted to call off the engagement.
