The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 50

Vivienne took her eyes off Logan and ignored him completely.

She lifted her eyes to the rest of the students, saying in a calm tone, “I’m gonna lay down the law now…”

Just as she said that, Vivienne paused a bit, her eyes turning cold in an instant, “Don’t Interrupt me again, I don’t want to solve problems in a rude way!”

“Ha, what a joke!” Just as Vivienne finished speaking, an untimely voice piped up, “You think we’ll listen to you just because you can throw your weight around? Are you sleepwalking?”

Vivienne turned her gaze to the speaker, Oberon Harper, Lysander’s brother’s son from Rivenwood. The Harper family was a big deal in Rivenwood.

In Rivenwood, a place teeming with big shots, the Harper family was nothing to sneeze at.

Vivienne shot him a glance, didn’t say anything, and walked to the classroom door. When she reentered, she had a stick in her hand.

She walked straight to Oberon with the stick in her hand.

Oberon frowned, scoffing, “What, you gonna hit me? I’m not some pushover like Logan, I am… Bam!”

Vivienne swung the stick at Oberon without hesitation, causing him to jump up, “Hey! You really hit me? Do you know who I am?”

Vivienne ignored him, hitting him with the stick over and over. Oberon, who knew how to fight back, tried to retaliate, but every time he lifted his hand, Vivienne’s stick found him with precision.

And it was weird, the way she hit people. It looked light, but it hurt like hell when it landed!

“Stop it! Stop it! I’m telling my uncle! I’m gonna get you fired!” Oberon yelled.

His uncle was Lysander!

Vivienne didn’t even give him a glance, pointing to Logan with her stick, “You! Get some guys to tie him up for me!”

Logan was about to retort when he heard Vivienne drawl, “Logan has a crush on…”

Before she could finish, Logan jumped up, pointing at some students, “You, you, you guys, hang him up, now!”
