The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 84

The next day. Dorian took another sick day from work, knowing full well Beatrice’s character and anticipating that things wouldn’t go smoothly. So, he planned to spend the entire day dealing with this issue.

Vivienne didn’t have classes that day, so she came along.

As Dorian’s wife, Cordelia naturally tagged along as well.

After dropping Thaddeus off at school, they headed straight to Hawthorn Mansion.

Just as Michael was about to ring Dorian, they showed up.

He took a glance at Dorian, asking, “Got the stuff?”

“Yeah” Dorian responded calmly, “When’s the lawyer coming?”

“He’s on his way about fifteen minutes,” Michael said.

Dorian nodded without further comment.

The Hawthorn family kept quiet, the mansion was eerily silent.

Beatrice sat at the head of the table, shooting a murky glance at Dorian before closing her eyes. Nobody offered to pour water for Dorian’s family.

Dorian didn’t mind, the three of them sat quietly.

The lawyer arrived earlier than expected, taking only ten minutes.

When the lawyer arrived, Dorian stood up first, “Let’s get started.”

Beatrice opened her eyes and calmly said, “First, show me the goods!”

Without hesitation, Dorian presented the newly rewritten formula to Beatrice.
