The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 724

Vivienne and Percival exchanged a glance, a mutual skepticism reflected in their eyes.

Was it any wonder that Griffin and Leopold seemed to have such chemistry? Godfrey was sick, and their first instinct was to shoot a video and snap pictures?

How had the Martinez family not throttled them yet?

But alas, Vivienne hadn’t managed to watch the video.

Before she could even click play, her phone—juiced up from Leopold’s car charger—began to buzz.

Brody’s voice came through the call, tinged with utter despair, “Specter Healer! Where on earth did you get that medicine? She’s been hopping around her room for half an hour! It took a heavy-duty sedative to knock her out, and she’s still hopping in her sleep! My spotless lab is a mess now!”

Brian’s laughter boomed, “Hahaha, Vivienne, where did you score that prank potion? That woman, she’s like a marionette straight out of a movie, absolutely hilarious!”

Griffin’s parents, Stellan and Penelope, stood guard outside the patriarch’s room.

To better observe Godfrey, they had gouged a peephole into the solid wooden door. The Martinez family circled around it, three layers deep.

They peered inside at Godfrey with a mix of emotions as if viewing a rare specimen.

Stellan was practically glued to the peephole, almost sticking his head through.

His wife, Penelope, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him, mirroring his posture, her face etched with worry. “Who could have snuck into our home undetected in the middle of the night?”
