The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 167

Vivienne arched an eyebrow as a smirk tugged at the corners of her lips.

Her gaze roamed over Arabella’s starry skirt. The gradient of deep to light night blue, embroidered with scattered rhinestones, certainly made it seem as though she was wearing the night sky.

However, this design was nothing unique. It was certainly not anything special in the vast collection of Charles‘ creations.

“What are you laughing at?!” Leah couldn’t stand Vivienne’s nonchalant demeanor. Born into wealth, she believed that those less fortunate should worship them.

“Finished showing off?” Vivienne nonchalantly asked, motioning towards the buffet table. “I’m going to grab something to eat.”

“You… you came to the banquet just to eat?” Hazel was in disbelief.

“And why not?” Vivienne retorted nonchalantly.

“Let’s go. Don’t bother with this hick.” Leah sneered. “I bet if you mentioned Master Charles to her, she wouldn’t even know who he is. Look at her. Telling people she’s your sister would only bring you down.”

“Such a big mouth!”

A cold laugh echoed from the entrance of the banquet hall. Arabella’s eyes lit up, and she quickly primped her hair, putting on what she believed was her most charming smile as she greeted the newcomer. “Percival, you’re here!”

She had spent half the day selecting her gown, finally managing to convince Scott to air–freight this starry skirt, a creation of Master Charles. Besides wishing to present her best self, she also hoped to capture Percival’s heart.
