The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 710

In the suburbs, at an expansive estate.

A woman in a crimson gown lounged languidly on a sofa, a glass of merlot in her hand. “Take this little toy and have a go at the people on the list. Remember, you must succeed with Karen.”

“But won’t this spook the target?” A young man’s voice crackled through the static, cautious and hesitant.

Vivienne would immediately recognize the voice.

The woman swirled her wine, half her face lost in shadows. “That’s the point. Where’s the fun if she doesn’t notice?”

Her fingers, painted a vibrant scarlet, tapped against the glass. “If you’re scared, I can always find someone else. But then, the poison inside you will remain without an antidote.”

“No, no… I’ll do it!” The man hastily replied, panic in his voice. “But you know I’m no match for Vivienne. Plus, there’s always someone guarding Karen. I…”

“So troublesome,” the woman muttered, clearly annoyed.

She wouldn’t be wasting her time with this incompetent if she didn’t have to conserve her resources.

Leaning forward, she set her glass down and turned to another figure cloaked in black. “You, head over to Rivenwood. Make sure you bring back a sample of Karen’s DNA.”

The figure before her, eyes cast down, responded with a reverent “Yes, ma’am.”

…

Meanwhile, having sorted their basic needs, Vivienne and Percival had just arrived at the Oasis Resort, where Lucas lived.

The guard at the gate swept his gaze over them, offering a crisp salute, “Good evening, please present your identification.”
