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.”
