The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan
Chapter 408
Kala felt a ripple of anxiety; she certainly did not want the Brooks family to become tabloid fodder again.
It was not about her rising career but the desire to preserve the harmonious unity of the Brooks family from fragmenting into scandal.
Vivienne’s gaze dropped slightly before she spoke softly, “There’s a bit of an issue.”
Kala’s heart clenched with worry. “Vivienne, please tell me it’s not something to do with Dad…”
Her words stumbled out of her, knotted with nerves.
No, it could not be!
Her father was the epitome of kindness, incapable of harming a soul.
Though she tried to reassure herself, Kala’s palms were drenched with sweat from her mounting tension.
“Let’s discuss it when he gets back,” Vivienne said as she sat down and pulled out her phone to call Timothy, telling him to return home.
Meanwhile, with Cheryl’s support, Baron made his way out of his room.
Kala rushed to help Baron down the stairs, her mind racing with apprehension.
She had no clue what would unfold next.
But she was certain that whatever was about to happen would once again turn the Brooks family upside down.
“Vivienne, what’s on your mind?” Baron asked, his aged eyes betraying a hint of guilt.
Vivienne smiled faintly. “Let’s wait until everyone’s here.”
Baron did not press further, but his grip on his cane tightened, his hand slick with anxious perspiration.
Soon, Timothy and Ronald returned, and alongside them walked Ashley with her brother Darren and Melissa in tow.
With the Brooks family gathered, silence fell, all eyes on Vivienne and Percival.
