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

Whether the money spent on the stone came from her pocket or Percival’s was none of their business

This time, for Richard’s sake, she let it slide. But there wouldn’t be a next time

“By the way, I’m planning a party here in Rivenwood to formally introduce you to everyone.” Richard announced “Back in Havenwood, no one knew who you were There were always small–minded folks who relished feeling superior, so I want everyone to know that you’re my granddaughter–in–law If anyone tries to bother you, they’ll have to think twice”

With that, Richard turned to Percival “What do you think, kiddo?”

“I couldn’t agree more

Ever since Vivienne decided to come to Rivenwood, Percival had instructed Thomas to start preparing a feast.

He had been playing the cripple for years, so it was about time things got on track

Ever since Vivienne got engaged to him, people have been mocking her for marrying a good for nothing. He could shrug off the insults, but he wouldn’t let his little lady be wronged

“Vivienne, what about you? Richard asked Vivienne

Vivienne furrowed her brows and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Let’s go with your plan, Grandpa”

“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”

1 got it, Dad Cecilia replied.

Afterward, Richard gave Vivienne a tour around the Ellington Mansion

The Ellington Mansion was quite different from the Brooks Mansion. It was actually more of a courtyard. It was somewhat like a cloister, yet tinged with the air of an ancient villa

It was quite an interesting change of scenery

They had lunch together, and then she returned to the Brooks Mansion with Percival
