The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

The moment Percival showed up, all eyes were on him, especially the close friends of Arabella, who

were instantly thrilled.

They clasped their hands over their chests, their eyes sparkling, "He's so hot! My heart is racing."

"What should I do, what should I do! I'm blushing like crazy, his gaze is like magic, I feel like I'm falling

deep into it."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm about to nosebleed, how can anyone be this handsome, I want to marry

him."

If it were in the past, Arabella would have laughed at these comments, calling them idiots.

What's the use of being handsome?

He's just a good-for-nothing.

But now, all she could think about was how to cover up her lie.

She thought Percival must have mistaken her for someone else, that he didn't know it was Vivienne

who cured Isolde, so she could let him be mistaken.

Who would have thought that she would be exposed by Isolde in public?

While Arabella was thinking about how to continue the lie, Thomas pushed Percival in front of her.

Percival's cold face was expressionless, his deep and narrow eyes looked at her, shining coldly.

Leopold next to him, full of mockery, "Miss Arabella, don't you want to explain? You accepted our

thanks, but you are not the one who helped Isolde. I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

Arabella blushed and bit her lip, looking all innocent and pitiful, "Mr. Ellington, Mr. Sterling, is there a

misunderstanding here?"

"Oh?" Leopold raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Then tell us, how did we misunderstand?"

"I did save a five-year-old girl who was burned, and when Mr. Ellington came to thank me, I thought you

were talking about that girl. I didn't expect there to be a mix-up." Arabella explained, then acted as if

she was wronged, "Mr. Ellington, you got the wrong person."

Leopold's eyes widened, completely shocked by Arabella's shameless words!

Who would dare to lie so blatantly?

In the end, she said it was Percival who was mistaken, and shifted the blame onto him!

He was speechless. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Leopold couldn't help but give Arabella a thumbs-up, and said very seriously, "You really are

something!"

Arabella blushed at his words, but then she was calm.

She didn't admit to taking credit, so Percival could do nothing to her, right?

Percival looked up, staring at her face, smiled slightly, his voice cold, "Since you didn't save Isolde,

please return the gifts from the Ellington family."

Arabella's face stiffened, she was a bit upset, the check for five million was not a big deal, as long as

Vivienne and Percival got engaged, the Hawthorn family would naturally have money.

But those medicinal materials were meant to be given to Dr. William. If they were returned, how would

she get Dr. William to accept her as his formal student?

It's all Isolde's fault, that naughty little girl, always showing up at the most inappropriate times, causing

trouble for her.

But in front of so many people, if she didn't return the medicinal materials, her reputation would be

affected.

Arabella calmed down, and then said, "I didn't know there was this mix-up between us, a few days ago

Dr. William had to treat a patient, and needed those medicinal materials, so I gave them to him..."

At this point, Arabella deliberately paused.

In front of so many people, under normal circumstances, Percival should just give the medicinal

materials to Dr. William, after all, who can guarantee that they won't get sick in the future?

Although Isolde's illness was treated by Vivienne, who can be sure that it's not a coincidence?

Vivienne is just a woman from the countryside, what does she know?

In the end, she still needs to ask her and Dr. William for help.

But Arabella waited for a long time, and Percival didn't say anything. She felt a little embarrassed, so

she had to continue, "Mr. Ellington, could you give me some time to collect the medicinal materials and

return them to you?"

There was a hint of reluctance in her voice.

But to others, it seemed like Percival was bullying Arabella.

Everyone started to speak up for Arabella, "Mr. Ellington, this is just a misunderstanding, you can't

blame Arabella, can you? The gifts you gave were needed by Dr. William, and Arabella passed them

on, maybe you should let it go."

"Exactly, the Ellington family is so rich. It's just a few medicinal materials, what does it matter if they are

given away? Aren't you still engaged to the Hawthorn family? In the end, it's all your stuff, you're not

losing out."

"Just consider those medicinal materials as a gift to the Hawthorn family. Stop pressuring Arabella.

Look at how scared she is, she's about to cry."

Percival listened to everyone's words, his eyes downcast, his hand on the wheelchair, casually fiddling

with it, his face showing no expression.

Not far away, Beatrice hesitated for a moment, then walked over, "Mr. Ellington, it's all a

misunderstanding, and you didn't make it clear, that's why all this embarrassment happened. Today is

my daughter-in-law's birthday. Let's not talk about this anymore. Don't worry about the gifts Arabella

used. The Hawthorn family will definitely compensate you."

From the moment Alisa started targeting Vivienne, she noticed the commotion here.

But she didn't come over, instead, she tacitly agreed to Alisa's actions.

She never liked Vivienne in the first place. The woman constantly clashed with her, not giving her any

respect. This was the perfect chance to show everyone Vivienne's true colors.

And by the way, to show Dorian his place. Without the Hawthorn family, who is he?

So, she just sat back and enjoyed the show, but now, she couldn't take it any longer.

She never thought the one who saved Percival's sister would be Vivienne.

She didn't believe Vivienne could cure diseases, just thought it was a fluke.

Man, this woman is really lucky.

The smile on Percival's face deepened, his voice casual, "So, you’re saying it’s my fault?"

Arabella smiled, politely and graciously saying, "Mr. Ellington, you don't need to apologize, I'm not

blaming you."

Hearing this, Leopold's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He'd never seen such a shameless person!

He really wanted to punch Arabella.

Vivienne, who was standing by, was also shocked by Arabella's audacity.

She didn't expect anything in return for treating Isolde, but to have someone steal her credit and take

her gift, she was completely disgusted.

At that moment, Isolde tugged at her clothes and she looked down at her.

Isolde gave her a wink and said cheerily, "Vivienne, don't worry, my brother will set things right for you."

Vivienne didn’t know what to say.

She wasn't in a rush, nor did she want justice.

She was just a little angry.

"Haha," Percival laughed, his smile was beautiful, captivating, but there was no mirth in his eyes.

He looked up, his voice colder, "Thomas."

Thomas was itching to go. As soon as he heard Percival's words, he stepped forward, pulled out his

phone, and played a few videos, "This is from the day Miss Arabella had her accident. Both Ms.

Vivienne and Miss Arabella were there at the mall entrance. But Miss Arabella just watched coldly, it

was Ms. Vivienne who saved her."

Just now, Mr. Ellington had him pull up all the surveillance footage from that day.

"I didn't..."Arabella tried to explain, but Thomas didn't give her the chance to speak, he played a few

more videos, "These are all of Miss Arabella's whereabouts that day. At noon, Miss Arabella left home

to meet two friends at the mall. She encountered a sick Isolde, then she left the mall and went to the

Lockwood family's house at Tranquil Estates until she left there at 7 p.m. and returned home..."

Thomas looked at Arabella and said seriously, "Miss Arabella, did you save a five-year-old child with

burn injuries at the Lockwood family's home that day?"

Then he turned to Coral, "And Miss Coral, does your family have a five-year-old child?"
