The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 409

Vivienne’s face betrayed no emotion as she smoothly withdrew her hand from Melissa’s grasp, offering no reply. Instead, she turned to face Baron, her voice cool and even. “Do you have anything to say?”

Baron’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he spoke without hesitation. “No explanation. The bomb installed in Mr. Ellington’s car and the person who drove into you—that was all my doing.”

Percival’s car accident was still making headlines, and everyone knew about it.

But what they did not know was that Baron was behind it!

“Dad, do you realize what you’re saying?” Melissa exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

How was she supposed to accept this?

Her mother was a murderer, and now her father, too?

Timothy saw right through Baron and turned to Scott with eyes brimming with anger. “Bro, are you really going to let Dad take the fall for you?”

His words further shattered the Brooks family’s younger generation’s belief in their world.

In their eyes, Scott was their kindest elder and uncle. No matter what they did wrong, they could always turn to Scott and escape any punishment.

Ronald was the first to regain some semblance of composure. “Dad, do you know something we don’t?”

Timothy did not respond, his gaze fixed on Scott, desperate for the truth to come from his lips.

But all they got was silence.

Baron stood his ground. “Vivienne, take me in. I need to atone.”

“Dad!” Melissa could no longer contain her emotions and collapsed, sobbing on the couch.

Vivienne’s lips curled into a faint smile; she had anticipated this scene.
