Chapter 252

“Huh? Percival rested his hands on the arms of his chair, leisurely adjusting his cuffs, before rising to his feet and sauntering towards Paula.

He exuded a powerful aura, and with each step he took, Paula felt as if a weight of a thousand pounds was pressing down on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Percival frightened Paula, but she was not willing to back down, so she raised her voice even higher “What do you think you’re doing? This is our home, it’s not your place to cause trouble!”

After looking at Paula’s panicked expression, Percival curled his lips into a charmingly wicked smile. “Don’t worry, I’m a bit of a neat freak. I don’t lay hands on mad dogs!”

“Percival” Paula’s face turned red with anger.

This insolent man! He dared to call her a mad dog!

Percival nonchalantly slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone. “I’m not one for settling matters diplomatically, but my dear Vivienne prefers a more civilized approach, so we’ll do things her way”

With that he dialed a number.

The call connected immediately, and Richard’s voice echoed through the phone. “Percival, you finally remembered to call me! Where did you take my granddaughter–in–law? Hurry up and bring her to see me!”

“Grandpa” Percival’s eyes flicked upward as his gaze swept casually over the faces of the Brooks clan. “I’ve invested 30 million for Vivienne to purchase a piece of gemstone, and now the Brooks family wants her to hand over the gemstone. They think I can’t afford the sum and that Vivienne and I have been lying.”

The entire Brooks family fell silent.

Was he really tattling on them again?

Did he have no shame?

Couldn’t he just let things be?

Was it a habit for him to always snitch?

“Rubbish!” Richard’s voice roared over the phone. “My grandson might be broke, but my granddaughter–in–law, Vivienne, absolutely cannot be! 30 million is nothing! I can afford a hundred billion!”
