The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 266

When Vivienne and Percival returned, the great hall of the mansion was filled with people

The patriarch, Baron, sat at the head of the table, surrounded by members of the Brooks family

Upon seeing the pair enter, Baron gestured towards them. “You two are just in time Come and sit We have matters to discuss”

Vivienne nodded, taking a seat with Percival on the empty chairs to Baron’s right

Once everyone was present, Baron spoke. “Now that we’ve found Vivienne, it’s time to organize a reunion banquet. Scott, take care of it Send out invitations far and wide, and ensure the feast is grand

Scott nodded Tim on it. The preparations have already begun

Baron grunted in approval, then turned his gaze towards Vivienne If you have any friends you’d like to invite, let your father know so he can send out the invitations promptly The 15th is a good day, so we’ll have it then”

Today was the 10th, so that left five days

“Alright Vivienne had no objections

“Do you have any requirements for your attire or jewelry? Baron asked next.

He was aware that Vivienne was a top–tier fashion designer

Her designs were unparalleled even the best designers they could hire couldn’t come close

“Tll take care of my dress and jewelry”

That was the expected answer, so Baron just nodded. “Alright. Then it’s settled.”

Once that was sorted, Baron turned his attention to Percival His gaze had grown increasingly disdainful, but he continued nonetheless Although you two are engaged, her immediate family wasn’t involved. You’ll have to go back and talk to your grandfather, so you can ask him to organize an engagement party for you two in Riverwood

In Havenwood, the engagement party was hosted by the bride’s family.

But in Riverwood, both the engagement and wedding parties were the groom’s responsibility.
