The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 1121

Recalling Juliette's memories, it seemed Vivienne hadn't even had a chance to react when the Mayor cut her off mid-stride.

Squinting at Vivienne, the Mayor sneered, "Didn't see that coming, did you? Even after all this, it's your kids who are the most vulnerable. Hahaha, I told you no one could stop me!" His arrogant laughter only fueled Vivienne's rage, her aura intensifying around her.

Vivienne moved with such speed that she had the Mayor's throat in her grasp in an instant.

Gregg, standing nearby, made a move to assist the Mayor. But before his hand could reach its mark, Vivienne had him by the neck too.

The children had never seen Vivienne like this, Juliette especially.

Frozen, she stared at this unfamiliar version of her mother, "Mom, mommy."

As if snapped out of a trance by her children's call, Vivienne hesitated, momentarily forgetting the two men in her grip.

It was in this moment of vulnerability that Gregg saw his chance to strike at Vivienne.

Tears welled up in Juliette's eyes as she remembered, "Afterwards, although mommy wasn't hurt, she wasn't quite herself. A brilliant light wrapped around us, and then we all passed out."

Before losing consciousness, Vivienne had managed to shield her children, keeping them safe.

Listening to Juliette, Finnian's gaze landed on Vivienne, "If that's the case, she must be in a state of hibernation."

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Leopold, despite his age, had never heard of humans entering hibernation, except in certain circumstances?

"It's different from a coma," Finnian clarified, immediately seeing what Leopold was implying. "She entered this state after activating her powers, and it's very likely she's now in control of them. The red eyes, I assume, need no explanation?" "The fact she could revert at the last moment is commendable. Her body took in a tremendous amount of energy in an instant, which can cause backlash. Just let her rest for now; she'll wake up when it's time."
