The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 265

The Ellington clan, besides Richard and Percival’s parents, didn’t even register on her radar. She couldn’t be bothered to spare them any thought

“Great! It’s settled then Richard wrapped up the conversation, then turned to Cecilia. “You take care of the arrangements in the next few days. Let’s get this done sooner rather than later”

Afterward, Richard gave Vivienne a tour around the Ellington Mansion
