The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 323

On the other side, fake Dorian and Cordelia were rushed to the hospital. However, after only half an hour, they slipped out the back door.

Dorian's injuries weren't severe. His pale complexion and weakened body were all effects of pressure-point manipulation.

Vivienne, a skilled doctor, had promptly treated and bandaged him up. So, he was out of danger. After a simple treatment, they stealthily left the hospital.

As soon as they exited the hospital, they received a text message. Their faces changed drastically. It was as if they had seen something unimaginable.

"Quick! Let's go now!" Dorian, not daring to waste any time, started the car and rushed to the outskirts of the city with Cordelia.

They parked the car next to a villa and entered through a side door. In the living room, a man wearing a silver mask was seated on a sofa. They couldn't see his face, but his chilling aura gave both Dorian and Cordelia shivers.

"Montague..."

BANG!

Before they could finish their sentence, the man suddenly stood up. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of them.

Before they could react, he grabbed their necks, and a deep, husky voice echoed in their ears. "Who gave you the nerve to lay your hands on Vivienne?"

"Montague, I..." Dorian tried to explain but found himself unable to speak.

Seeing this, Cordelia quickly chimed in. "Montague, it wasn't our intention to harm Vivienne. We had no other choice. The organization demanded that we secure the potion as soon as possible. Up to now, we haven't even gotten a single bottle. That's why we had to disguise ourselves as Dorian and Cordelia."

"Today, we targeted Vivienne because she's too shrewd. If we hadn't done something, she would have realized we were impostors. We just wanted to increase her trust in us to make it easier to get the potion. Dorian nodded. "That's correct, Montague. We have tried pressing her several times, but Vivienne always refused to give up the potion. Today at the Ellington gathering, our cover was almost blown. Out of desperation, I had to resort to this method."

Montague glanced at them coldly and flung Dorian away.

THUD!

Dorian was thrown against the wall. The intense impact felt like it would shatter his bones, but he dared not make a sound. He stood there with his head bowed in respect. Montague was a terrifying figure in GTO.

Nobody knew Montague's true identity or what he looked like, but everyone in GTO knew that he was a big shot that no one could mess with. He held absolute power in the organization.

"Montague, Vivienne is cunning. Despite our attempts today, we couldn't get her to let her guard down. I think we should use Dorian and Cordelia to negotiate with Vivienne." Fake Cordelia suggested. Dorian nodded in agreement. "That's right. The organization isn't giving us much time. Vivienne cares deeply for Dorian and Cordelia. She would definitely agree to trade the potion for his safety." Just as he was feeling frustrated, his phone rang.

He answered it, and his face turned pale at what he heard on the other end. "What did you say?!"

The person on the other end was panting heavily. "Our hideouts at the Pleasant Club and Lucky House have been attacked!"

"How is this possible...?" Dorian looked at Montague in disbelief.

Vivienne had found their hideouts and so quickly at that.

"This is a warning." Montague said in a grave voice. "You've been exposed. Evacuate immediately."

"Rest assured, Montague. We'll clean up our traces and leave immediately!" Despite the resentment he was feeling, fake Dorian had no choice but to retreat.

He never expected that Vivienne, whom he had just saved and pretended to share a deep father-daughter bond with, would attack his hideout.

This girl was simply too formidable.

Montague spoke with an authority that made all arguments futile. "Clean everything up. Don't leave any traces."

"Yes!"

Over the next two days, several GTO hideouts were attacked by an unknown person.

Vivienne watched the drama unfold with a light smile. She was waiting for GTO to lose their patience and come to her.

As she was scrolling through her messages in her room, Isolde knocked on her door and asked, "Vivienne, have you seen Thaddeus?"

Ever since they met at the Ellington family gathering, Isolde would occasionally drop by the Brooks Mansion to hang out with Thaddeus. They were around the same age, so they always had a blast together, and neither family minded their frequent interactions.

Thus, everyone was pretty laid-back about it. Nobody tried to interfere.

"Thaddeus?" Vivienne got up from her bed. "Isn't he in his room playing with his Lego?"

She had just bought them for him. Thaddeus was so thrilled that the moment he saw them, he took off with them, announcing that he'd put them together immediately. "Thaddeus isn't in his room." Isolde, clutching her teddy bear, shook her head with a hint of disappointment. "I wanted to play with him, but I can't find Thaddeus anywhere." The Brooks Mansion was massive. It had multiple floors and even a backyard. It wasn't surprising that she couldn't find him.

Vivienne patted her head in confusion. "How about I go with you to find him?"

"Okay!" Isolde's face lit up instantly, and she hopped with joy.

Vivienne took her by the hand to Thaddeus' room, and, exactly as the little girl said, the room was deserted.

The floor was scattered with half-assembled Lego bricks, meaning that someone had just been there.

Vivienne's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took Isolde and headed elsewhere.
