The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 246

As Vivienne zoomed past Carl, Darren hollered in excitement. “Holy moly! Our little cousin just gave Carl a run for his money!”

“Are you for real?” Ashley retorted while rolling her eyes at her brother “Carl’s defeat is Vivienne’s victory, not yours”

“And…” She pointed at the music player. “How on earth did you manage to make it through American Idol with this kind of taste in music?”

“What do you know?” Darren ran his fingers through his silver hair. “I made it thanks to my personal charm.”

“No wonder you immediately switched to acting, even though you got your break through a singing competition” Ashley snorted “You must have realized early on that you lacked the talent.”

“You.” Darren gritted his teeth. “I won’t stoop to your level!”

While the siblings were bickering, Vivienne had already driven into River Village.

The private gemstone auction, held by MT Corporation, was an annual event, and this wasn’t Vivienne’s first time attending.

She parked the car in front of the auction house like a pro and waited for Carl to arrive.

“Were you driving just now?” Carl asked Darren with a stern look as soon as he got out of the car. He was not able to see the driver because of Vivienne’s speed just now.

“Yeah, I was. Got a problem with that?” Darren replied with a smug look.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, while Ashley and Ronald rolled their eyes. They couldn’t believe how shameless Darren could be.

Ronald was always cautious when driving and would never pull a stunt like that. Ashley, on the other hand, was notorious for her awful driving skills. She had already wrecked the gate of the Brooks Mansion four times. As for Vivienne,
