The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 168

Upon seeing the disdainful looks Vivienne received, Cecilia was seething.

She glared at Percival. “I’m warning you. If I see anyone else look down on your wife again, don’t blame me for disowning you as a son!”

“Isn’t it interesting that you, the famous Scent Maestro, Master Q, aren’t famous?” Cecilia sneered. “Why do they think you can’t afford to buy a gown?”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She took Vivienne’s hand and led her to another part of the hall. “Today, the Brooks family invited many international supermodels to liven up the event, showcasing designs by renowned designer Mike.”

“Mike’s designs may not be as brilliant as Master Charles‘, but they are still very sought after.”

“Let’s go. Mom will buy you all of Mike’s designs as engagement gifts!”

Vivienne was stunned. “Mom?”

Was their relationship progressing that fast?

She hadn’t even decided to marry Percival yet. She was just not breaking off the engagement.

Before she could refuse, Cecilia had already dragged her away.

After they left, Percival felt a tug at his pants leg.

“Brother…”

He looked down to see Isolde standing beside him with a disgruntled expression. He frowned. “Why are you wandering around alone?”

“I’m not wandering.” Isolde pouted. “Mom saw Vivienne being bullied and ran off to call you. She forgot about
