The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 29

The moment Percival showed up, all eyes were on him, especially the close friends of Arabella, who were instantly thrilled.

They clasped their hands over their chests, their eyes sparkling, “He’s so hot! My heart is racing.”

“What should I do, what should I do! I’m blushing like crazy, his gaze is like magic, I feel like I’m falling deep into it.”

“I can’t take it anymore, I’m about to nosebleed, how can anyone be this handsome, I want to marry him.”

If it were in the past, Arabella would have laughed at these comments, calling them idiots.

What’s the use of being handsome?

He’s just a good–for–nothing.

But now, all she could think about was how to cover up her lie.

She thought Percival must have mistaken her for someone else, that he didn’t know it was Vivienne who cured Isolde, so she could let him be mistaken. Who would have thought that she would be exposed by Isolde in public?

While Arabella was thinking about how to continue the lie, Thomas pushed Percival in front of her.

Percival’s cold face was expressionless, his deep and narrow eyes looked at her, shining coldly.

Leopold next to him, full of mockery, “Miss Arabella, don’t you want to explain? You accepted our thanks, but you are not the one who helped Isolde. I didn’t expect you to be so shameless!”

Arabella blushed and bit her lip, looking all innocent and pitiful, “Mr. Ellington, Mr. Sterling, is there a misunderstanding here?”

“Oh?” Leopold raised an eyebrow, sneering, “Then tell us, how did we misunderstand?”

“I did save a five–year–old girl who was burned, and when Mr. Ellington came to thank me, I thought you were talking about that girl. I didn’t expect there to be a mix–up.” Arabella explained, then acted as if she was wronged, “Mr. Ellington, you got the wrong person.

Leopold’s eyes widened, completely shocked by Arabella’s shameless words!

Who would dare to lie so blatantly?

In the end, she said it was Percival who was mistaken, and shifted the blame onto him!

He was speechless.
