The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 154

Leopold, dejected, turned to leave, but after a couple of steps, he turned back, placing the cattle hair needles in Vivienne’s hand.

Vivienne held the cattle hair needles, exchanging a silent gaze with Percival. Whatever romantic atmosphere they had was shattered by Leopold’s interruption.

Eventually, they shared a warm smile.

Checking the time, Vivienne turned to head back to the basement, only to hear Percival calling her from behind. “Vivienne.”

She turned around to see him standing in the moonlight, smiling at her gently. “I’ll be waiting

for our next round.”

Vivienne’s cheeks flushed a crimson hue, and she left, holding the cattle hair needles.

By the time she reached the basement, Elijah was barely alive.

Raymond, following Vivienne’s instructions, had tested all the torture tools in the basement on Elijah. He had arrived with a fearful gaze, which now lay cold and hardened as he looked at the wounds and bloodstains he had inflicted on Elijah.

Vivienne was right. Without a ruthless heart, how could he protect his little sister?

“You may leave now.” Vivienne dismissed him when she saw her goal was met.

Once Raymond left, a weakened Elijah managed to lift his head to look at her. “Ha. Is this the best you can do?”

“Save that for later.” Vivienne taunted him, waving the cattle hair needles in her hand.

Elijah’s pupils dilated in fear. He was familiar with the terrifying effects of the cattle hair needles, having used it on Dorian himself.

“Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.” Vivienne assured him with a slight smile. “Whatever my family has endured, I will make you pay a hundred fold.”
