The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 255

Why did he have to do such a disgusting thing?

He cleared his throat and was about to approach Eddy when a voice sounded from outside the door.

“Vivienne, I heard you’ve got a nice stone. Quickly, give me a piece!”

Leopold’s voice arrived before the man himself.

Thomas paused.

His timing couldn’t be better.

Such a disgusting thing was more suitable for Leopold.

Leopold burst in, noticing that the entire Brooks family was standing in the yard, including Richard and Cecilia. He paused. “Eh? What’s going on here?”

He’d been tasked by Percival to settle Anna in, then deal with some things in the team. By the time he was done, the sun was setting, and the old man had called him about Vivienne’s stone. He wanted him to see if Vivienne would sell a small piece.

Without even eating, he’d rushed over.

“Eddy made a bet with Vivienne. If he loses, he has to live stream himself doing a headstand while… relieving himself.” Thomas glanced at Leopold. “And he lost.”

“So?” Leopold asked, “Is he about to start his performance?”

Thomas nodded. “Yep, but he’s not being cooperative.”

“Not cooperating?” Leopold’s voice rose a few octaves. “Does he have a choice? Don’t worry, Vivienne; I’ll handle this. I’m good at this. Just watch!”

Finally, a chance to impress Vivienne. Why not show off a bit?

With that, Leopold strode towards Eddy while cracking his knuckles and sporting a lecherous grin. “Eddy, I suggest you stay still. I’m not known for being gentle. If I rip your pants, you won’t be able to go home.”

Eddy was beside himself with disbelief.
