The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 231

Just then, four black vehicles appeared ahead, closing in on them in a pincer attack. The two leading cars swerved aggressively, preparing to flank them.

“Can you handle this? Vivienne asked, her gaze fixed on the two oncoming vehicles. From her tone, it seemed like she was both concerned and challenging him. “If not, let me take the wheel.”

Percival twitched his mouth, freeing one hand to pinch Vivienne’s delicate cheek. His voice held a hint of playful resentment. “Vivienne! You’re not allowed to question my ability again!”

He was a perfectly capable man.

He could handle this

Vivienne was a bit taken aback by his strong response.

I’ve heard about your driving abilities, but I have no proof” She said candidly.

“I am driving. Vivienne Just sit back and watch.” One thing Percival never lacked was confidence.

Vivienne was at a loss.

With a swift turn of the steering wheel and a solid stomp on the clutch, Percival raised half the car’s body in a sudden tilt. Using the same move Vivienne had previously executed in Havenwood, he maneuvered their vehicle through the oncoming cars just in time

Both Anna and Leopold gasped, gripping their seats tightly as their faces grew a shade paler. Only Vivienne laughed. “Not bad! You’ve been learning” After dodging the attack, the car landed heavily on its tires and sped off.

“Of course. My wife is the best teacher ever.” Percival replied with a grin.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, finding Percival increasingly audacious. Before she could correct his presumptuous term of endearment, the four black cars were already turning around to give chase.
