The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Hearing the news, Arabella's eyes suddenly lost focus, and her body, which had been stubbornly holding on, started to violently cough up blood.

Vivienne had a hunch.

The blow Mr. Wolf delivered earlier was with his full strength.

The only reason Arabella wasn't already dead was because he feared her blood might infect him with some vile disease. How could she rest easy without witnessing such a scene for herself? Unfortunately, she miscalculated every step.

Every move she made towards Rivenwood was under his watchful eye. How could he possibly let Arabella get what she wanted?

Vivienne turned to leave, leaving Arabella to be dealt with by others.

Charlotte ran over, worried, only to see Arabella collapsed on the ground. Without sparing her a glance, she said, "Vivienne, are you alright? How could Arabella just show up like that? I thought she was already..."

Vivienne nodded affirmatively, "She's already dead."

Charlotte glanced back, remembering the frightful scene, and let out a heavy sigh, "She deserved it!"

Back in Havenwood, Arabella's actions should have landed her in jail for life.

If that had happened, she wouldn't have been able to ruin Vivienne's wedding day.

Vivienne patted Charlotte's shoulder, knowing she was concerned, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Her little tricks can't touch me."

Charlotte rolled her eyes at Vivienne, almost dropping her jaw at the sight before her.

Teasingly, she said, "Your husband practically stripped you and disinfected you on the spot. Even if I wanted to worry, it's not like I could've done anything!"

Vivienne blushed, glancing down at her somewhat loose suit jacket and pulled it closer, "Don't talk about my husband like that!"

Charlotte was both speechless and resigned.

"Right, right, your husband is the best in the world."

Afterwards, Vivienne and Percival went to the hospital where Dorian was staying.

Leopold took Griffin and Charlotte back, stopping by the hospital to get their wounds treated.

Even minor injuries shouldn't be ignored.
