The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 104

Percival shot a glance at the reporter speaking to him..

The reporter was young. He was sporting a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and the moment

his

gaze met Percival’s, he felt a chill run down his spine, making him step back instinctively. But when he saw Arabella’s tear-streaked face and Michael writhing in pain on the ground, his sense of “justice” overpowered him. “What are you looking at? Did I say something

I wrong? I think Michael should go get his injuries checked out and sue you for intentional

harm!” He blurted out.

Others chimed in. “Exactly. Those who abuse their power and oppress others will eventually get their just deserts!”

“Vivienne is such a letdown. The Hawthorn family raised her, and yet she let her fiancé drive them to the brink of bankruptcy. What an ungrateful brat!”

“We’re definitely going public with what happened today. We want everyone to see your true

colors!”

“I think they should publicly apologize to Hawthorn Group and compensate them for all their losses.”

Arabella seized this opportunity. She fell to her knees and began begging Vivienne while sobbing. “Please, beg the Ellington family to spare the Hawthorn family! I’ll take all the blame! Please! Do you really want to see the Hawthorn family go bankrupt to be satisfied?”

She lay on the ground as her voice choked with emotions, pleading over and over again. She looked like the wronged underdog.

But hidden from public view, her eyes showed an intense hatred.

Arabella’s public kneeling and begging to Vivienne were not voluntary.
