The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Vivienne nodded in agreement. “It’s puzzling. Why did F-Poison tell Flynn about my mom being taken? Was there anything else he mentioned?”

“Alright, I’ll take care of it,” Percival replied before dialing up Thomas.

Soon, Thomas had arranged for Karen to visit Flynn.

“Percival, there’s another thing – Gillian’s back.”

Percival furrowed his brow. “She’s back already?”

“Yeah, the higher-ups say the surveillance footage involving Gillian doesn’t prove much. They’re calling it a professional mishap, gave her a mark on her record, and she’s back.”

Hearing this, Percival almost crushed his phone in frustration.

Hundreds were injured, Soren and Astrid were still unconscious, and Leopold and Anna were unable to walk without stitches.

Just a professional mishap?

Through the phone, Thomas could feel Percival’s anger but continued, “However, Vance has stripped Gillian of her authority. She shouldn’t be causing trouble anymore, or at least, she’s lost the capacity to do so.”

Percival took a breath. “Fine, I got it.”

Karen went to the secret prison alone, while Vivienne stayed with Percival at the YQ Research Center.

Vivienne had a new idea she wanted to try out.

After a thorough check, Karen walked in.
