The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 207

Judith and Melissa’s brows furrowed more deeply, while Timothy and Ronald’s faces darkened.

“Has Arabella lost her mind?!” Ashley looked at Arabella in the video with disgust, which was quickly masked by anger. “Not only is she pregnant before marriage, but she now wants to pin the blame on Percival to make him the fall guy?!”

Ha!

As if she were even on his level!

A man like Percival was beyond Arabella’s wildest dreams!

Ashley sneered inwardly but put on a face of grievance “Mom, Grandma, this scandal has spread all over Havenwood. What if it reaches Riverwood? What will people think of our family? My reputation will be ruined too! People will think I’m just as promiscuous as Arabella because we’re cousins!”

Judith, of course, had thought of this as well. Just as she was about to reassure Ashley, Ronald’s cell phone rang.

“It’s Grandpa Ronald’s face turned grim, but he sighed and reluctantly answered the call.

Sure enough, Baron’s furious roar came through the phone. “What the hell is Arabella thinking?! Pregnant before marriage is bad enough, but she’s now trying to pin the blame on Old Richard’s precious grandson?! She’s got some nerve!

Baron was livid Ever since Arabella was accepted back into the family, he had been constantly bothered by Richard. The old man would often show up at his nursing home to taunt him.

Unfortunately, Richard was always in the right, leaving Baron no choice but to swallow his pride.

He knew many old friends in the nursing home, and every time Richard came, they would gather around to watch the drama, enjoying how Richard scolded him like a wayward grandson.

He felt like his stay at the nursing home was anything but restful

Arabella, his newly recognized granddaughter, was literally driving him to an early grave!

After a harsh scolding from Baron, Ronald didn’t dare argue. He could only nod and agree.

By the time Ronald hung up, Judith’s face was ashen. She said to Timothy, “Call your older brother. Ask him why he didn’t suppress the news when he was there. How did he let it spread like wildfire? Even the old man knows about it now!”
