The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Maddox had been ruminating for a long time. To alter the paternity test results right under Yuri’s nose, the opposition must be formidable and well-prepared.

Taking out Vivienne’s test result now would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

For Vivienne’s safety and to swiftly uncover the mastermind, keeping her identity under wraps for as long as possible was imperative.

Everyone in the Perez family knew how much Jasper treasured Sasha.

With Sasha’s daughter surfacing, Vivienne would become the Perez family’s precious jewel. Frankly, the entire Perez family might end up belonging to Vivienne.

This would inevitably make her a target for the person pulling the strings.

Vivienne’s safety could not be guaranteed in such a scenario.

Thus, Vivienne’s identity must remain a secret for the time being!

Vivienne nodded. “Okay, I’ll follow your lead, Uncle Maddox.”

Maddox covered his eyes again. Hearing Vivienne call him ‘Uncle’ so many times, it was this one instance that pierced his heart the most.

He could not contain his tears, sobbing while saying, “Vivienne, you can’t let anyone find out I cried in front of you, especially Yuri. Otherwise, even Natalia and Yasmine’s kindergarten would hear about it.”

Vivienne could not help but laugh through her tears at Maddox’s antics.

“Got it,” she assured him.

After a moment, Maddox regained his composure, handed Vivienne her phone back, licked his dry lips, and clasped his hands tightly together.

“Vivienne, how did Sasha really die? Who’s your dad? What has your mom been through all these years?”

Maddox struggled to ask.
