The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 377

Calista’s heart hammered against her chest as the formidable agents from Vanguard Agency closed in around her. Memories of that claustrophobic interrogation room flooded her mind, and panic spread like wildfire through her veins.

She took an involuntary step back, her voice trembling as much as her body. “I…I thought you cleared me. I had nothing to do with that virus. Why are you taking me in again?”

She was terrified.

The thought of being back in that room was unbearable.

The team leader’s face was a stone mask of seriousness as he said, “You are suspected of attempted murder against the captain of Vanguard Agency. You’re coming with us under the law.”

He presented the arrest warrant.

Calista’s eyes nearly popped out of her skull. “What are you talking about? When did I ever attempt to murder the captain of Vanguard Agency? I was after…”

She had meant to target Vivienne. How could Vivienne be the captain of Vanguard Agency?

The leader remained unflappable. “Percival Ellington is our captain, and you positioned that rebar to kill Captain Ellington with premeditation. You’re coming with us.”

“What!” Calista and the entire Brooks clan were stunned.

Percival was the captain of Vanguard Agency!

Whoever called him a loser was dead wrong. Could a loser helm the elite Vanguard Agency squad?

Standing at a distance, Scott’s eyes narrowed. Percival’s identity had caught him off guard; he had been so focused on Vivienne that he had overlooked this guy.
