Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Vivienne’s face was icy, but she still sneakily kicked Percival hard under the table.

Cordelia wasn’t sure what was going on between them, but didn’t Percival know himself?

She noticed that Percival seemed extra keen to hold her hand and stuck to her like glue whenever he had the chance.

Suddenly, a news alert popped up on Vivienne’s phone. “Chairman of Hawthorn Group falls ill suddenly and is rushed to the hospital.

She tried to wriggle her hand out from Percival’s tight grasp but failed. She shot him a cold glance, wondering if her blowing up now would scare Cordelia.

Percival, however, held onto her hand still, put down his cutlery, and showed Vivienne the news on his phone.

Vivienne glanced at the phone. The image in the news was of doctors lifting someone from the Hawthorn Mansion onto an ambulance.

Though the face was blurred out, she could tell from the clothing that it was Beatrice.

Vivienne, amused by the picture, decided to let Percival off the hook for now.

Cordelia was watching their interaction when her phone screen lit up.

“Hey, Dorian, what’s up?”

Her face grew darker as she listened to Dorian on the other end of the phone.
