The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 335

It was a long night at the Miller household.

Mark hadn't come home again. Paula tried calling him numerous times throughout the night, but to no avail.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable." The automated female voice once again echoed in her ear.

Frustrated, Paula threw her phone onto the bed and was just about to take a shower when suddenly, someone climbed in through the balcony window.

"Ah!" Paula let out a scream, only to have it muffled when someone covered her mouth with a cloth. After a brief struggle, she felt dizzy and fainted.

When Paula finally came to, she found herself looking into the eyes of Vivienne and Percival.

She was bound and could not move.

She struggled and glared at Vivienne with hatred in her eyes. "Vivienne, you little witch! What do you want with me? I'm warning you; you better let me go!" Vivienne stood over her while looking down calmly. "Didn't you want to know where Arabella is? I can take you to her."

Paula was taken aback. "You would do that? Out of the kindness of your heart?"

"Heh." Vivienne laughed. "I've always been rather kind."

Right. She would never admit that she wasn't a kind person.

"Where is she?" Paula asked impatiently.

"She's..." Vivienne deliberately trailed off as her eyes twinkled with amusement. "In a certain state, entertaining clients, I believe." Upon hearing this, Paula started shaking with rage. "Vivienne!! How dare you! How dare you do this to my Katara?!"

Vivienne just shrugged as she wore a smirk on her face. "Paula, you're being rather ungrateful. I was just trying to save Katara." "You're full of crap! You sent her to that place, and you have the nerve to say you saved her?!" Paula was beside herself with anger.

She was right.

It was Vivienne!

While she was living the good life at the Brooks Mansion, she sent Katara to suffer in that hellhole.

Entertaining clients?!

How could her Katara be doing such a thing?

"Katara tried to commit suicide several times but was always saved in the nick of time. Despite the scar on her face, she knew how to use her assets and win over her clients. Now, she's the top girl in the state and she's making a lot of money. So, you see," her laugh grew deeper, "I did save her, didn't I?"

"Ahhhh!" Paula screamed at the top of her lungs. "Vivienne, I will kill you!"

She struggled with all her might, but the person behind her kicked her to the ground and pinned her down, rendering her immobile.

She lost all rational thought and began hurling a barrage of insults at Vivienne.

"You'll pay for this! You're just like your mother! You're a cheap harlot who seduces men! Your mother's in hell, and you'll join her soon! If you have the guts, kill me! If not, I'll come after you for the rest of my life! I will avenge Katara!"

Vivienne just laughed. "You won't get the chance, Paula."

Paula thought back to Vivienne's earlier words about taking her to Arabella, and a wave of fear washed over her.

But then she burst into hysterical laughter. "Hahaha! Scott lost Katara, and now she's ended up like this, but he never thought his own daughter would turn out to be a devil! You didn't come to find your family; you came to bring disaster to the Brooks family!

You're just like your mother! You'll bring nothing but doom to the Brooks family! It's pitiful how my parents think you're a good person and always protect you. Hahaha! It's laughable how naive they are! God! Why don't you strike this little witch down with lightning and let her join her mother?!"

She continued her tirade, but Vivienne remained calm. She showed no signs of anger.

Exhausted, Paula collapsed on the floor while continuing to glare at Vivienne with pure hatred in her eyes.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Vivienne crouched down and looked at her. After a pause, she said, "I am not Scott's daughter."

Paula's eyes widened in shock. "You..."

Before she could ask anything else, Vivienne had already stood up. "Take her away. I don't want her coming back." She said to Thomas.

"Yes." Thomas replied without hesitation.

Paula was hoisted up to her feet and dragged towards a car.

Suddenly, she started screaming hysterically. "Vivienne! What's your scheme?! What are you planning to do to the Brooks family?! My brother has been so good to you! Why are you doing this to him?! You're a curse!

I was wrong! Please let me go! I won't oppose you anymore; just spare the Brooks family! They're innocent!"

Paula was babbling incoherently.

Vivienne's smile faded, and her face became expressionless as she looked at Paula. "Your only mistake was messing with my family."

Especially Thaddeus, who was just a child.

She despised anyone who dared to lay a hand on a child.

"But it was Paul who started it!" Paula protested.

Vivienne sneered. "And you think he'll get away with it?"

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Paula behind.

Percival followed her, but stopped halfway. "Paula has been missing her daughter. Let's give them a chance to reunite for a few decades, perhaps." He said to Thomas. "Understood." Thomas replied.

With that, Percival and Vivienne left.

...

The following days were quiet.

Rowan and Ismene continued to play the part of Dorian and Cordelia, coming and going freely while staying at the Brooks Mansion.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the missing infants led by Vivienne and Percival hadn't yielded any results yet.

These past few days, Vivienne had been splitting her time between the lab, checking on her experiments, and arranging the establishment of a new company with Dorian.

Rowan had previously attempted to swindle the perfume formula from Vivienne under the guise of starting a company. In reality, they had no intention of setting up a business; it was all a charade for Vivienne's benefit.

However, it was undeniable that Dorian had a knack for business.

In Havenwood, Beatrice looked down on her meek son and was constantly suppressing him. Little did she know that the one with true potential was Dorian.

In just a few days, Dorian had already formulated a plan, located a suitable business premise, and started recruiting staff.

However, with Mr. B still at large and the person who had been messaging Vivienne still unidentified, Dorian had to keep the formation of his company under wraps.

The most pressing issue at the moment was Thaddeus' education.

Since Dorian and Cordelia decided to stay in Rivenwood, Thaddeus could no longer attend Capital Elementary School in Havenwood, especially since the school was on break.

A few days ago, Vivienne had arranged for Thaddeus' school transfer to Heston Elementary School in Rivenwood, another prestigious institution.

However, Thaddeus had experienced constant abuse and kidnapping during his transition from Havenwood to Rivenwood, causing him significant emotional distress. He was finding it difficult to fit in with his new classmates.

Furthermore, he was lagging behind his peers.

Dorian and Cordelia were worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up academically, so they asked Vivienne to find a private tutor for him.

While Vivienne was capable of teaching him herself, she had her plate full with her lab work, investigating the situation with GTO, and searching for the missing infants. With so much on her plate, Vivienne agreed to Dorian's request.
