The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 770

"Can't say for sure." Vivienne shook her head, "Mr. Wolf, don't you think their attack this time was way too abrupt? Feels like they're going all in, a do-or-die move."

Percival's eyes flickered with a sly gleam, "Vivienne, you should realize that it was never the Abernathy family who wanted that secret recipe; it was the Grimshaws behind them."

"You mean to say the Grimshaws have issued an ultimatum to the Abernathys this time?"

Vivienne withdrew her gaze, the unease in her heart refusing to settle.

It was a strange feeling. She wasn't particularly worried about the Abernathys doing anything to her, per se.

Her only real vulnerability was Dorian and his lot, but at this point, the Hawthorn family were already under the protection of the Nine Mystics Society, so that vulnerability wasn't much of one. Still, why did it feel like something was about to happen?

Percival's gaze remained on her, easily noticing her disquiet. His eyes, filled with affection, began to speak, but just as he opened his mouth, Vivienne's phone started buzzing. It was a call from Matthew. "Vivienne, I found the family that claimed the medicine caused a death years ago!"

Matthew's voice wasn't overly excited through the phone, which echoed through the living room, tinged with hesitance.

With the sofa taken over by Vivienne and the rest, Leopold had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the carpet, "Well, bring them in then. We can talk money, no need to get all worked up. Matthew replied, "The situation's a bit complicated, Vivienne. The person from back then, they might not be dead!"

"What did you see?!"
