The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 195

Percival casually hooked a smile on his lips and stood with one hand tucked inside his pocket. His tone was nonchalant as he said, “What if I don’t?”

Dawson clenched his teeth. “If you don’t leave, I’ll break your bones.”

“Well then, let’s wait until you’re actually capable of doing that.” Percival retorted, pausing before adding, “By the way, thanks to you all, I’ve found a legitimate reason to move into my in–laws‘ place. A perfect opportunity to bond with Vivienne and win over my in–laws.”

“Percival!” Dawson roared. He was about to curse, but Percival cut him off by hanging up the phone. Before he did, he left a message. “Tell Leopold that the cost of the house renovation is on him.”

Leopold, who was already feeling down, slumped even more.

Goodness, his millions were gone just like that, with no way to claim them back. Why did he have to suffer like this?

“What do we do now?” Gary glared at Leopold, refusing to back down.

Larry sneered “Because you’re in cahoots with that scumbag. You’ve betrayed us…”

“Stop!” Leopold interrupted him.

“You know him best, so you must know his weaknesses.” Jerry stated. “Tell us, and we might consider forgiving your betrayal.”

This was getting out of hand. Leopold racked his brain for an answer.

Finally, he said weakly, “Mr. Ellington, er, Wolf’s only weakness might be the Mystic Mistress?”
