The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 346

In just two hours, all the online chatter about Calista being the heiress of the Brooks family had almost vanished.

All that remained were headlines like 'Searching for Karen' that saturated the web.

Then, two hours later, an explosive Twitter post was released.

The posting person was Stephen.

"I am Stephen, a friend of Vivienne. I know that her mother passed away ten years ago. She once told me that she and her mother were pursued by someone, which led to her mother's death. This incident has always been a sorrow for Vivienne. I never mentioned her mother in front of her again. However, today, seeing the post from the head of the Brooks family aroused my suspicions. I, Stephen, hereby officially accuse Scott and Mila of attempted murder and hope the police can investigate the truth to give Vivienne justice!"

Stephen was a pop icon with nearly a billion fans. As soon as he posted this, it dropped a bomb on the whole internet world.

His fans all shared his post.

Even the hottest stars in the industry retweeted his post one after another.

In no time, with the influence of the celebrities and their fans, the entire server was overwhelmed.

This, in turn, caught the attention of the Rivenwood police department.

At breakfast time in the Brooks family.

Almost all the Brooks family members were present, except for Darren, who couldn't make it due to work commitments.

But every face was so grim.

Scott publicly acknowledged Calista's identity, which caused netizens to speculate that Karen might be dead and that she was killed by Scott and Mila. The Brooks family was attacked after that. People were throwing eggs and tomatoes at the gates of the Brooks Mansion early that morning It wasn't until the Brooks family security intervened that the situation was calmed down.

At this point, no one had seen Stephen's post yet.

Vivienne had just come down and barely settled in when Kala suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! Stephen posted something!"

Vivienne paused and felt speechless.

Why is he joining the fray? She thought.

Timothy frowned, "Stephen has nothing to do with the Brooks family. Why make a fuss over his post?"

Kala threw her phone on the table for Timothy to see, "Stephen and Vivienne are friends and he's standing up for her! Scott, look at the mess you've made!"

Stephen was a superstar. If he posted something, it could drop a bomb on the entire internet!

She never imagined Scott would do something so foolish!

What was so great about Calista? The Brooks family was put in this situation just because of her!

Now not only was the Brooks family being attacked, but her own Twitter was also filled with negative comments.

In just over two hours, she had lost a million followers!

The fans were all cursing that there was no one good in the Brooks family except for Vivienne!

She didn't care about losing followers or being criticized. After all, what Scott did was indeed unfair to Vivienne!

But what she did care about was that the Brooks family was being attacked online because of one Calista! She was a total disaster!

"What?" Timothy picked up the phone and looked at the trending Twitter, realizing that the entire internet was filled with tweets tagging the Rivenwood police for the truth. He slumped into his chair. Judith also took a look at the phone; she nearly fainted after that.

She threw the phone at Scott and thumped the table, shouting in anger, "What a disaster!"

Scott glanced at Stephen's Twitter post; his face was expressionless as he sat steady as a rock.

He then looked up at Vivienne, who slowly walked to a chair and sat down under his gaze. She maintained a cold indifference.

After Vivienne sat down, she looked back at him and didn't avoid his gaze at all.

After a long stare-off, Scott finally spoke up, "Vivienne, do you believe what's being said on Twitter?"

"Whether it's true or false is not for me to decide!" Vivienne turned her gaze away, picked up her fork and continued eating; her tone was nonchalant.

She was the only one at the table who could still eat.

Scott kept his gaze fixed on her, "So you had Stephen post this to attract the attention of the police?"

Vivienne paused for a moment, then turned to look at Scott; her expression was cold, "On what grounds do you presume it was me who asked Stephen to do this?"

"Wasn't it you?" Scott looked at her as if trying to see through her.

Vivienne let out a cold laugh, "Does it even matter if I was the culprit?"

She put down her fork, stood up, walked over to Scott, and looked down at him, "My mother didn't run off to Havenwood to escape a marriage, she ran there to escape death; Mr. Brooks, would you care to explain why she had to run for her life?"

Scott's eyes narrowed slightly with an unreadable glitter in his gaze.

A wicked smile tugged at Vivienne's lips, "No rush! I have all the time in the world. In the game of cat and mouse, the mouse can never escape the cat's claw. Don't you agree, Mr. Brooks?" Scott stared at her silently.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Shortly after, several uniformed officers walked in.

After showing their badges, they said in an official tone, "We are from the criminal investigation team. Mr. Brooks, you are a suspect in a murder case. Please come with us for an investigation!" Scott looked at them and slowly stood up, "I understand."

He didn't say anything else and followed the officers out.

Once Scott was taken away, the Brooks family was instantly thrown into chaos.

Judith promptly rose from her seat and approached Vivienne, taking her hands in hers. "Vivienne, I know you've been dealt a hard hand, but you have to believe me, your mother's death had nothing to do with your father. I implore you, please explain the situation to the police."

Melissa chimed in, "Yes, your father may not have been married to your mother, but we all know he only had eyes for her. He would never harm her."

Cheryl added, "Are you upset because your father acknowledged Calista? That wasn't entirely his fault, after all, it was Mila and Paula who orchestrated the whole thing. Calista has been confirmed as your father's child, so he couldn't just ignore that. Vivienne, for the sake of your father who's been good to you, speak to the police, and to Stephen, ask him to take down the Twitter post."

The Brooks family members began to plead collectively.

Only Kala, Ronald, and Carl remained silent.

Regardless of whether it was Vivienne who had done this, they had no right to beg her.

She had lost her mother too!

At the tender age of nine, she had witnessed her mother's death. This grudge wouldn't simply vanish with someone claiming that Scott wasn't the murderer.

Solid proof was needed!

Kala looked up at Vivienne and something dawned on her. Vivienne had returned to the Brooks family for her revenge!

Yet, she couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for her.

If she were in the same situation, she might have made the same choice as Vivienne.

Vivienne gently extracted her hands from Judith's grip and spoke with a neutral expression, "The law will do justice for Mr. Brooks!"

Her plan didn't include handing Scott over to the police, but that didn't mean she objected to Stephen's action.

And of course, it certainly didn't mean that Scott wouldn't walk free unharmed.
