The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080

Juliette didn't find switching schools to be a hassle at all. In fact, she preferred her new school to the elite prep schools she'd attended before. Here, no one was constantly monitoring her every move or imposing a list of strict rules on her. She felt a sense of freedom she hadn't experienced before.

Jasper, however, wasn't as easily convinced. He turned to Isaiah, seeking reassurance, "Is that so?"

Isaiah nodded, "The school Maddox found for us is great. No need to switch."

That put Jasper at ease.

During lunch, Maddox took care of the kids without a word, only looking up to exchange a glance with the old man when necessary.

Luckily, Jasper was too busy chatting with those around him to inquire about anything else.

After the meal, Vivienne helped Jasper back to his room, casually mentioning, "Grandpa, you seem a bit under the weather. How about I do some acupuncture to help you relax?"

Jasper was about to decline when Vivienne suddenly brought up, "I recently discussed a partnership with the Boyd family. I heard you're quite familiar with them. I'd love to get your insights." Jasper paused, "You're working with Connor?"

Vivienne nodded thoughtfully, "We just signed the contract. He's a good partner."

Jasper seemed to sense something, chuckling, "Just partners?"

"Connor is about your age, comes from a good family. It would be nice if you two could get to know each other better. That would ease an old man's worries."

Vivienne pressed her lips together, neither confirming nor denying Jasper's implications.

This made Jasper more certain of his intuition.

Connor seemed like a good match for Vivienne.

Their thoughts were worlds apart; Jasper hoped to see Vivienne move on from a shadow that had loomed over her for five years.

But Vivienne was more concerned about how the Boyd family, known for being an ancient warrior lineage, had suddenly emerged five years ago.

At that time, she was abroad, following a lead on Mr. Wolf.

She was unaware of the Boyd family's true nature.

Even the Nine Mystics Society had difficulty uncovering the origins of such an ancient warrior lineage.
