The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

Chapter 34

In the corridor, many people were heading towards a room. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Beatrice was leading them, with Arabella and Octavia flanking her on either side.

Loads of guests were trailing behind her.

Dorian and Cordelia were squished at the back of the crowd, each of them clutching Thaddeus by the

hand, looking worried sick.

Up front, Arabella was matching Beatrice’s pace, and said to her in a voice everyone could hear,

"Granny, don't be mad, I might have heard wrong. My sister wouldn’t do something like that."

Beatrice shot her a glance and said, “You’re still defending her at this point? Arabella, you’re my top-

notch granddaughter, but why are you always batting for Vivienne since she’s back? Today is Octavia’s

birthday party, and Vivienne dares to do this at home, she’s absolutely insulting me.”

Although she said that, excitement was more visible on Beatrice’s face than anger.

Yes! Excitement!

After today, Vivienne must marry Percival!

Arabella wouldn’t have to marry a disabled guy, and the Ellington family could get some money,

thinking about this, she was over the moon.

“It might be a misunderstanding!” Arabella, hiding the glint in her eyes, said, “My sister went to change

clothes, maybe Mr. Ellington had something to discuss with her.”

“What misunderstanding?” Beatrice said indignantly, “You’re too soft-hearted! Mr. Ellington initially

proposed to you, but when Vivienne came back, he fell for her. They’re the ones who messed up, but

you became the victim.”

Beatrice glanced at the guests around them, raising her voice a bit, “Do you remember what they just

said about you? Said you were delusional, he’s Vivienne’s fiancé yet you claimed he’s yours.”

Arabella dropped her gaze, tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lip, her voice was a bit choked,

“Granny, I don’t care about those rumors.”

“But I care!” Beatrice said sternly, “Vivienne is my blood granddaughter, but I always side with the one

who’s right. She’s arrogant and domineering, and now she’s causing a scene at the Hawthorn family’s

party, I’ll teach her a good lesson today.”

Dorian and Cordelia at the back of the crowd were frantic, they wanted to explain, but Beatrice and

Arabella didn’t give them a chance to butt in.

As they were talking, they arrived at the room.

Beatrice ordered directly, “Open the door.”

She couldn’t wait to see what was going on inside.

Not just her, everyone else was eager as well.

Mr. Ellington and Ms. Vivienne had an affair!

This would definitely be trending news tomorrow!

Everyone hurriedly whipped out their phones ready to snap a pic.

Just then, the door swung open.

Everyone was stunned, eyes widened in surprise.

Was this what Beatrice was talking about, Ms. Vivienne and Mr. Ellington having sex?

The people in bed were her son Joseph and the Hawthorn family’s nanny!

They were butt naked, tangled together in a difficult position, the scene was absolutely thrilling!

“Joseph!” Octavia, like a madwoman, grabbed Joseph’s hair and started hitting him like crazy.

Joseph felt his head spinning. But his body felt worse, it was like a million ants were biting him.

His head was filled with one thought, he needed a woman!

He grabbed Octavia impulsively, one hand tearing at her clothes, the other hand groping her chest,

“Babe, you smell so good, I’ll make you feel good.”

“Although I don’t know why you feel the same as that woman at home, I don’t mind.” Joseph said.

Octavia, furious and embarrassed by Joseph’s actions, completely lost her cool after hearing his words.

She pushed Joseph away forcefully, her face was beet red with anger, “Joseph! You’re shameless!”

All the guests snapped back to reality after a moment of shock, and took out their phones to take

pictures.

Although this news was not as big as Mr. Ellington and Ms. Vivienne having an affair, it was enough to

become a hot topic.

Joseph was clueless about what was happening.

Seeing Octavia push him away, he pounced on the nanny again, “Babe, hurry up and give it to me, I

can’t stand it anymore.”

With that, he started a live show with the nanny.

It’s unknown whether the nanny did this on purpose, with so many people around, anyone would feel

ashamed, but she didn’t resist, instead she cooperated enthusiastically, and from time to time, moaning

sounds escaped her lips.

Octavia felt a rush of anger surge to her head, she couldn’t take it anymore and fainted on the spot.

“Ms. Octavia!”

The nanny who was responsible for taking care of Octavia’s family saw this and started yelling.

Beatrice and Arabella, who were shocked at the side, also finally snapped back to reality.

Beatrice was trembling with anger, she looked around at everyone, noticing that they were all looking at

her strangely, she wished she could hide somewhere.

But she couldn’t run away, she had to deal with this huge mess.

Beatrice clenched her fists, then said to Octavia’s nanny calmly, “Call an ambulance, send Octavia to

the hospital.”

The nanny nodded, and hurriedly picked up the phone to dial the emergency number.

Beatrice turned to look at Joseph and the nanny still on the bed, and yelled in anger, “Bastards!”

The underage kids in the crowd had already been sent away, leaving only the adults.

But this ugly scene was seen by everyone. Beatrice felt extremely ashamed. She was so mad she

almost passed out.

Arabella frowned at Joseph, then whispered to Beatrice, "Granny, something seems off about Joseph."

She had just turned eighteen, and under normal circumstances, she should have bolted at the sight of

such a scene.

But she couldn't leave.

She was from the Hawthorn family.

Now that Joseph had made a fool of himself, the dignity of the Hawthorn family was on the line, and

she would be affected too.

So she had to stick around, sort this mess out, and restore the dignity of the Hawthorn family.

After being reminded by her, Beatrice shifted her gaze to Joseph and indeed noticed something off.

She turned to Arabella and asked, "What's up with him?"

Arabella leaned in close to Beatrice and whispered so only the two of them could hear, "It seems like

Joseph has taken an aphrodisiac. I made it myself, and it was actually meant for my sister."

"What?" Beatrice was taken aback, gobsmacked.
