The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

On the other side, Kenneth returned to the arena, his mind set on victory.

Aaron had made it to the finals, and Kenneth was determined not to lose to him.

He had to triumph in the final showdown and show everyone that he was every bit Aaron’s equal.

Below, Percival watched with a discerning eye. He could tell from the gameplay that Kenneth’s desire to win was too intense. He would likely falter in the finals without the right mindset, even if he won today.

Percival could also see that Aaron’s skills were superior to Kenneth’s. Now, the game was as much about mental fortitude as it was about teamwork.

He had confidence in their team’s synergy, but the mindset part was challenging.

After wrapping up an interview, Aaron did not idle. He headed to the locker room to strategize with Vivienne. Then, they made their way to the stands to observe Kenneth’s match.

From afar, Percival spotted the pair laughing and chatting as they approached.

Kenneth’s worried gaze instantly sharpened.

In the blink of an eye, here was Aaron cozying up to Vivienne again!

Vivienne noticed Percival and was about to head over when Aaron’s grip on her wrist stopped her.

With a natural ease, Aaron stepped in front of Vivienne, blocking her view of Percival. “Vivienne, everyone’s waiting for your insights. Let’s watch the match, and you can break down the plays for us.”

Vivienne agreed, realizing that real-time analysis would deepen their understanding. “Sounds good, let’s go.”

Hence, Percival watched helplessly as Aaron led Vivienne to a section of the stands on the opposite side.

Aaron sat down, casually throwing a provocative smile at Percival’s way.

Percival’s face darkened, and he scoffed.

Did Aaron think he could stop him?

He simply had to walk over!

He was about to stand up when his phone buzzed with a text.
