The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 477

Ashley’s outburst had left Vivienne speechless.

Took her place?

Rolling up her sleeves with a dramatic flourish, Charlotte slapped Ashley’s hand away and planted her hands on her hips, glaring down at her. “Who are you pointing fingers at, huh? Think you’re some kind of big shot? I’m the one who’s earned the right to speak on behalf of the whole school because I aced every single subject, not you!”

“You think you could’ve taken my spot without Vivienne’s help? Dream on!” Ashley spat back, her pride bruised.

To Ashley’s surprise, Charlotte did not retort. “You’re right. Without Vivienne’s support, I wouldn’t have even gotten into the defense academy.”

Then, Charlotte gave Ashley a piercing look, then asked Vivienne, “Vivienne, who is she to you?”

Vivienne gave Ashley a once-over. “She’s my cousin on my aunt’s side.”

“I see.” Charlotte caught sight of the bewildered Brooks family lingering in the background. She clapped her hands theatrically. “Well, I won’t intrude on your little family dinner then. Be sure to hit me up when you’re free, okay? I’ll let Faye know, deal?”

“Sure.” Vivienne nodded.

Griffin, who had been quietly observing, gently tugged Charlotte away, giving Vivienne a knowing wink as if she had much to say.

Arm in arm, they left, with Charlotte tossing over Griffin’s shoulder, “You can’t let a man walk all over you!”

Vivienne’s lips curled into a smirk. So, Charlotte was the mastermind behind Griffin’s antics towards Leopold.
