The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 340

Judith froze, not understanding what Vivienne meant.

Although it was her mistake to employ Calista as Thaddeus' tutor and her failure to notice that Calista was physically punishing Thaddeus, she was now clearly taking Thaddeus' side. Vivienne ignored Judith. Instead, she walked up to Calista with an expressionless look on her face.

Calista was visibly rattled under Vivienne's gaze. "Vivienne! I..."

WHAM!

Calista barely got out two words before Vivienne sent her flying with a kick.

Vivienne's kick was full of power.

Calista, having no fighting training and no regular physical exercise, was sent crashing into the opposite wall by Vivienne's kick and then fell heavily to the floor.

At the moment of the fall, Calista felt as if all her bones were falling apart.

Then she spat out a mouthful of blood. "Puh!"

Mila was so shocked by the scene that she was completely stunned and didn't react for a long time.

When she finally came to her senses, she let out a loud yell, "Ah!! Calista!"

She rushed over to help Calista, but Calista was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She could only look at Vivienne with wide eyes, unable to make a sound.

Judith, along with the Brooks family members, were all taken aback by Vivienne's quick action.

After Mila had just picked up Calista and while the Brooks family members were still stunned, Vivienne quickly moved forward, grabbed Calista by the collar, and flung her away. Calista felt as though her bones were about to break from the fall.

Now, she felt as though her internal organs were about to explode, causing her to gasp for air.

She looked up to see Vivienne approaching her like a demon from hell.

With each step Vivienne took towards her, Calista felt like she was being crushed by an invisible giant mountain, causing her breath to quicken.

She struggled to back away and finally managed to let out a sound. "What... what are you doing? Murder... murder is illegal!"

Vivienne continued to walk towards her with an expressionless face and a voice as cold as ice. "I won't kill you! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

In that moment, Calista felt fear.

A fear that she had never experienced before.

She panicked and quickly began begging for mercy. "I was wrong! I will never do it again! Please spare me!"

Vivienne stood in front of her, looking down at her like she was an insignificant ant. "I said whoever dares to hurt my family will suffer a fate worse than death!" Upon hearing this, Judith's eyes narrowed.

Vivienne was so protective of her adoptive parents' family, yet she was distant with them.

Clearly, they had hurt Vivienne's heart.

"What... what do you want?" Calista saw the coldness in Vivienne's eyes, and inexplicably, she felt as though the end of the world was near.

Vivienne didn't answer. She just picked her up and punched her in the stomach.

Calista spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.

Mila screamed in fright. "Vivienne! Let go of Calista! I will fight you!"

As she said this, she rushed forward to hit Vivienne, but was instantly kicked away.

Mila was positioned against the door, so Vivienne's kick sent her crashing into it.

Everyone heard a crack. It was the sound of her bones breaking.

Vivienne turned her head, then landed another punch on Calista's stomach.

This time, her fingers were wrapped around several silver needles, which pierced into Calista's stomach when she punched her.

Instantly, an unknown liquid flowed out of Calista's body.

Upon seeing this, Kala, Carl, and Ashley all covered their noses and took a step back.

How embarrassing!

The daughter of the prestigious Pendleton family actually wet herself in public.

After receiving that punch, Calista completely passed out.

Vivienne stood in place, took out a card, and handed it to Carl. "Get me two hundred thousand dollars."

Carl looked at the card she handed him, and his pupils dilated. "A black card!"

This was a globally limited black card.

Only people with a minimum asset of one hundred billion dollars could own this card.

Although the Brooks family was wealthy, only Scott from the entire Brooks family had a black card.

Carl's body jerked, and he quickly said, "I'll go get it right away!"

There was a bank near the Brooks Mansion.

Initially, Carl thought that without an appointment, it would take some time to withdraw two hundred thousand dollars. But to his surprise, when he showed the card, the bank manager personally came out and got him the money in just a few minutes.

While holding the two hundred thousand dollars in his hand, Carl felt baffled.

How was his cousin this incredibly wealthy?!

He had to hold onto her tightly.

Perhaps if his cousin was in a good mood, she might give 12 million to compensate for the money he lost in the auction.

With this thought, Carl happily returned to the Brooks Mansion.

When he got back, Calista was still lying unconscious on the ground.

Mila was also writhing in agony on the ground from Vivienne's kick.

The others in the Brooks family were silent, watching Vivienne, who stood in the middle of the living room, as she exuded a powerful aura.

Carl handed the money to Vivienne. "Cousin, I've got the money."

Vivienne took the money. "Thanks."

Then, she walked up to Calista, took out a silver needle, and pricked her.

Soon, Calista woke up.

Vivienne threw the two hundred thousand dollars in front of Calista. "This is for your medical bills." She coldly said.

Calista gritted her teeth as she looked at Vivienne. "I won't let you get away with this!"

She felt pain all over her body; even breathing was difficult.

She hated Vivienne.

She would definitely not let Vivienne off easy.

The icy glint in Vivienne's eyes sharpened. "You think a beating will make up for the hurt my brother has endured? Calista, you'll pay for your folly!"

Before Calista could respond, Vivienne whipped out her phone and dialed a number.

"William Pendleton! Your daughter and I have a score to settle. Be at the Brooks' residence in ten minutes!"

Without waiting for a response, she ended the call.

Ten minutes later, a flustered William dashed in.

Upon seeing Vivienne, he hurried over and, with respectful urgency, said, "What's wrong, teacher?"

The room fell silent. Mila and Calista were stunned. They were unable to recover from their shock.

Calista was the first to regain her senses and exclaimed, "Dad! What are you doing? Why are you calling her 'teacher'? She's just a hick from the sticks who's done this to me. Dad, you need to avenge me!" "Quiet!" William barked. "I've clearly spoiled you rotten!"

Without asking for specifics, William turned to Vivienne and apologized. "I'm sorry for not disciplining my daughter."

He didn't beg Vivienne to forgive Calista.

He knew Vivienne well enough to know that she wouldn't have called him unless she was extremely angry.

"I didn't call you here to hear an apology." Vivienne said coldly.

William bowed his head. "Yes, it's too late to apologize. I'll discipline my daughter better in the future, so she won't offend you again."

Vivienne pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing her legs as she leaned back with a casual air. Her cool gaze fixed on William, and after a long pause, she stated, "William, you've been a cuckold for over twenty years. Surely, you've had enough."

William stiffened and felt perplexed. "What do you mean?"

Mila, however, had a sudden sinking feeling in her heart.

No!

It couldn't be!

Vivienne couldn't be talking about that.

Only a few people knew about that.

"Calista isn't your daughter. She's Scott's. Didn't you know?" Vivienne said in a languid drawl.
