The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 405

The Order of Nine Mystics Society announced that the owner of the red sports car was located in less than ten minutes.

However, the person was already dead.

Due to driving under the influence of alcohol, he was dead on arrival!

By the time the coroner and the police arrived at the scene, Percival’s car was nothing but a charred shell, and that red sports car was not in much better shape.

The vehicle had exploded due to the accident, and the owner, having lost consciousness from the drunk driving, met his end in the flames, burned alive.

The identity of the owner of the red sports car was also investigated.

A laid-off factory worker, just fired yesterday, drowned his sorrows in alcohol at noon today, only to end up in a fatal crash.

No money had been received by family or friends.

It all seemed like a tragic accident.

Vivienne listened to Draven’s report, a cold glint in her eyes.

The less trace there was, the more suspicious it seemed.

“Keep digging. I want to know everything about everyone he could have possibly come into contact with, from his ancestors to his descendants. Leave no stone unturned,” Vivienne commanded with an icy tone.

“Yes,” Draven responded, with no further comment. He knew that this time, his boss was truly furious.

At the hospital, the entire Ellington family had gathered. Fiona was the last to arrive, her expression nonchalant as if the person in the operating room had nothing to do with her.

Ryan, however, was a mess of tears, wailing as if Percival were his son.

“Why is life so hard on him? He’s already been through so much, and now, if he’s brain-injured, what then? Dad, it looks like we’ll need Paul to step up for the family in the future.”

Ryan sat in the hallway, sobbing, but the actual tears shed were fewer than that from a yawn.

Previously, when Paul was arrested, he had a rough time under Vivienne’s orders, getting “invited for coffee” punctually every day.
