The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 220

Ever since she became the heiress of the Brooks family, Arabella had been showered with flattery by men. She was blinded by this and started to genuinely think that she was irresistible, forgetting that these men were drawn to her due to the power and influence of the Brooks family.

If she were just Arabella Hawthorn, neither Tristan nor Paul would have bothered to glance at her.

“Arabella, you’re the reason I’m like this. I won’t let you get away with it. Tristan’s icy gaze sent shivers down Arabella’s spine.

Her legs were weak, and she could barely stand. She slowly retreated, but she suddenly felt a foot heavily pressed on her back.

“Where do you think you’re going, my cousin?”

Arabella looked back in fear, only to see Ashley standing at the door with several muscular men.

Ashley watched Arabella with a look of disdain, unable to comprehend how someone could be so shameless. Even after being exposed, Arabella still refused to admit her wrongdoings.

“Tristan, help me Please! Arabella turned to Tristan, pleading for his help.

“Oh, didn’t you know?” Ashley chuckled lightly. “These men work for your dear Tristan.”

As Arabella was dragged away, Calista entered.

Like a drowning woman grasping at a lifeline, Arabella reached out and clung to Calista’s sleeve “Calista, please help me!”

Calista looked at the fingerprints left on the place where her clothing was pulled, her eyes showing disgust.

Tristan gave an order, and the man holding Arabella mercilessly broke her fingers. Arabella’s screams echoed through the entire floor

Calista, as if she hadn’t heard, just lowered her head to examine Tristan’s body.

Ashley merely turned to Tristan and asked, “Where are you taking her?”
