The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 399

Vivienne was the epitome of composure. If Scott lacked even the basic cunning, her mother would never have spent three years undercover by his side.

But now, the lead on Scott was a dead end.

She had hoped to use Scott to unearth the true identity of the elusive Mr. B.

“Vivienne, let’s head back,” Percival said, taking her hand and pulling her back to the present.

He had not expected Scott to pull the trigger so suddenly.

They had hoped to extract Mr. B’s whereabouts from Scott, which was why the Vanguard Agency had surrounded him without immediately ordering his arrest.

It had, however, given Scott the chance to slip through their fingers.

Yet, despite appearances, Scott had fired a blank. Given the distance and angle, Vivienne would not have escaped unscathed even if she had been on guard.

Surely, his gun was not out of bullets.

Percival’s men, who dove into the sea to search Scott, relayed the news to him while he was in the car.

The car was found, but the man was missing, leaving behind a single shoe and copious amounts of blood. The shattered window was fringed with scraps of skin tissue.

If the blood loss was as severe as it seemed, he was likely at the bottom of the sea by now.

“Keep searching,” Percival commanded with a grave voice.

Having anticipated this outcome, Vivienne immediately issued an Order of Nine Mystics Society to pursue Scott.

“Mr. Wolf, take me home,” Vivienne said, leaning on Percival’s shoulder, her eyes weary, “I’m rather tired.”

Percival draped his coat over her, saying gently, “Of course.”

Vivienne closed her eyes, haunted by the image of Scott aiming the gun at her.
