The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 78

Vivienne and Percival swung open the doors to the private dining room, drawing the attention of everyone present.

“Is this how she behaves at an engagement party? She’s acting all high and mighty, not giving us, the older generation, a second glance. If she really does marry Percival, she’s likely to become even more arrogant and rude” Alisa, already somewhat displeased with Vivienne, was seething after having to wait for her

Vivienne gave them a cold glance. “Did I invite your

When Richard and Dorian had discussed the engagement arrangements, they’d planned for only two tables. None of the Hawthorn family’s relatives were included in the quest list.

With just one glance, she saw that the Hawthorn family had occupied three tables and uninvited guests had shown up. And they were blaming her?

“You’re so rude! Can’t you even take criticism for your own faults?! Is this how your mother raised you?” Beatrice yelled angrily.

Vivienne’s face darkened. She walked over to Beatrice and said coldly, “Don’t you dare mention my mother. You’re not worthy!”

“You!” Beatrice was so angry that she felt a twinge in her chest.

After seeing this, Dorian quickly stepped in. “Mom, if you’re here to enjoy the party, you’re welcome. But if you’re here to cause trouble for Vivienne, I’d like you to leave. This is her engagement party, and I don’t want it to be ruined.”

“Slap!”

Beatrice slapped him angrily as her eyes widened with anger. “You ungrateful son! I’m your mother! I came to my granddaughter’s engagement party, and you’re trying to kick me out in front of everyone? You think sucking up to the Ellington family gives you the right? As long as I’m alive, you’ll never be the head of the Hawthorn family!”

“You slapped my father-in-law in front of me. Did you forget about me? Percival’s eyes narrowed, and his voice was icy.

Beatrice flinched, but still said defiantly, “Percival, he might be your father-in-law, but he’s also my son. I’m disciplining my own child. What does it have to do with you?”

She had already apologized to the Ellington family multiple times. She was scared this would ruin the wedding.
