The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 152

Vivienne, who had been silently sitting by the side, gave a nonchalant glance at Beatrice and

her crew.

“Let’s take this to court.” She said. “We can drag this out as long as it takes. Whatever the court decides, we’ll abide by it.”

Beatrice snapped her head around and snarled. “You have no say in this!”

“Vivienne’s words are my own.” Dorian retorted coldly.

“You!” Beatrice exploded. “I will expose your abandonment of me for everyone to know! You don’t care about your reputation?”

“Ha!” Dorian chuckled. “Wasn’t my reputation already tarnished by my own mother and adopted daughter?”

“Mom, if you want any money from me, let’s follow Vivienne’s advice and go to court.” Dorian said calmly, “Whenever the verdict comes out, that’s when I’ll pay.”

“Just a heads up.” Vivienne added leisurely. “You have three sons and a daughter, counting Dorian. If the court decides to rule in your favor, they will only order it to be divided equally among the four of you.

Beatrice, left speechless, could only point her trembling finger at the three of them before storming out, supported by Michael and Joseph.
