Chapter 267

Vivienne was in a foul mood. She paid no attention to the conversation happening around her.

She stood up, her voice as cold as ice as she said, Tm tired. I’m heading to my room.”

With that she turned and left.

‘Til walk with you” Percival stood and followed as his hand found hers in a couple of strides.

Her fingers were icy. They felt like a winter’s frostbite that pierced her to the bone

They walked in silence

Upon reaching her room, Vivienne paused and turned to Percival “Mr Wolf, pack up and head back to the Ellingtons I have some matters to tend to.”

Percival’s deep and narrow gaze lingered on her face. He pressed his lips together and was silent for a moment before he slowly said, “Alright”

He didn’t offer her any words of comfort. He knew she didn’t need them.

He also knew that in her heart, the Brooks family meant nothing to her.

She wasn’t upset, but rather, she felt sorry for her mother

Percival returned to his room, collected his luggage, and left

He traveled light with only a single suitcase in hand.

After he left. Vivienne’s gaze softened, and she returned to her room.

As soon as she entered, the phone rang

“Alright” Vivienne replied “How are things going?”

“All sorted Everyone’s settled in The Frostfire intelligence Agency is up and running. The order system just went live, and we already have a request.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What did they offer?”

“They have cobra grass and want boar poison They want to trade in person.”

Vivienne paused “Are you sure it’s cobra grass?”

Matthew hesitated. ‘But Vivienne, could this be a trap? You just announced that you needed cobra
