The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 43

Joseph was dumbstruck, staring at Vivienne without uttering a word.

She had been hiding behind the door, and he hadn’t noticed!

What did it mean that she had slipped him a aphrodisiac?

As if to answer his silent question, Vivienne’s grin widened. “What happened yesterday was payback for what you did years ago, Joseph. You weren’t wrongly accused!”

Her expression was surprisingly calm, not a trace of anger on her face.

But that made her all the more devilish.

“You!” Joseph pointed at Vivienne, “You’re,nothing but trouble!”

“Enough! Big bro!” Dorian suddenly roared. “Evelyn is your sister–in–law, and you did that to her. Now you dare to insult Vivienne. Do you think I wouldn’t cut ties with you?”

He was filled with regret.

Utter regret!

When he knew Beatrice disliked Vivienne’s mother, he had thrown himself into his work, thinking that if he tried harder, Beatrice would accept Vivienne’s mother.

As a result, he had completely neglected his family.

“Get out of my house. From now on, you’re not welcome here,” Dorian said, pointing towards the door.

He wanted to seek justice for Vivienne’s mother, but without evidence, even calling the police wouldn’t help if Joseph just denied everything.

The only thing he could do was to break off contact with Joseph.

“What do you want Vivienne to explain?” Cordelia couldn’t hold back her anger. “What about you and Emma? Vivienne ‘did drug you, but that was because you drugged her first. She was just getting back at you!”

Cordelia spoke up resolutely. “You cheated on your wife, you even have a bastard child. You did something wrong and you blame Vivienne? Where’s your dignity?”
