The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

North Shire.

Vivienne coldly stared at the old lady in front of her, standing tall and saying frostily, "Quit tailing me,

please."

The old lady looked back at her with a heartbroken expression. "Missy, lend me a hand, will you? Let

me tag along with you to the city. I'm broke, lost my phone, and can't reach my family."

"I'm not a saint!" Vivienne retorted, her voice rising in frustration.

The biggest mistake of her life was offering a hand to this old lady without getting anything in return,

only to find herself in a jam.

She had come down from Emerald Mountain this morning, planning to catch the first flight out to

Havenwood, but soon after the descent, she ran into a couple of thugs giving the old lady a hard time

and demanding stuff from her. After seeing the old lady's pitiful state, she slipped the thugs a mickey

and saved the old lady.

However, the old lady kept sticking to her like glue.

After finding out that the old lady's home was in Rivenwood, she decided to play the good Samaritan

and get the old lady on a plane to there since she was heading for the airport anyway.

But on the way to the airport, she got cut off by some people. Not wanting to waste time, she took them

out without breaking a sweat.

Who would have thought that she would then bump into seven or eight waves of people? And they

weren't even from the same gang!

She had no clue about the old lady's identity or who she had ticked off. All she knew was that she was

losing her marbles because of this old lady and had missed her flight to Havenwood.

She left the old lady behind and walked away, but the old lady stuck to her like glue.

No matter where she went, the old lady was right on her tail.

In the end, she had no choice but to take the old lady with her.

She initially wanted to ask Matthew to send a car to pick them up and take them to Havenwood, but

considering the old lady's odd situation, she didn't want to expose Matthew, so she hired a cab herself.

On the way to Havenwood, the people chasing the old lady didn't let up. Since she was in the taxi, she

couldn't use any drugs, so they drove right up to them.

The driver was scared out of his wits. He refused to drive them any further and dumped them in the

middle of nowhere.

Vivienne was at her wit's end. After dealing with the people chasing the old lady, she decided to ditch

her and go alone.

Luckily, where the driver had left them wasn’t far from Havenwood, so she walked to Havenwood.

But all the way, the old lady kept trailing her. Aware that she was in a bind because of this, the old lady

followed her at a distance and didn't dare talk to her.

But now, the people who were after the old lady were gunning for her. They weren't after the old lady

anymore but were giving her a hard time.

She had run out of the knockout drugs she carried and was left with no other choice but to take them

on.

Vivienne was livid.

"You're a good egg." The old lady said earnestly, "You might not show it, but you're kind-hearted. I

know I've been a pain in the neck, but I promise I'll make it up to you once I find my family. Please lend

me a hand. Just get me to the airport."

Vivienne responded, "I'm going to say this one last time. Quit tailing me."

After saying this, she turned and walked away.

The old lady quickly stopped her. "Could you lend me some money? We're already in Havenwood, so

they probably won't come after me anymore. Can I hail a cab to the airport?"

Vivienne rubbed her temples. "I don't carry cash. All my money is in my mobile banking app. You lost

your phone, so how am I supposed to give you money?"

"Uh..." The old lady was on the verge of tears. "Could you just take me with you then? My son and I

were looking for Finnian at Emerald Mountain, but we got chased and lost each other. I don't even

know how to get back. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you. Please feel a bit sorry for this old gal."

Vivienne's eyes narrowed. "Finnian?"

This old lady knew her master?

"Yes, we heard Finnian was at Emerald Mountain. We had some business with him, but the lay of the This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

land at Emerald Mountain is too complicated. We tried going up there several times but failed. You

know Finnian too?"

Vivienne stared at her for a long time before speaking after a brief silence. "What's your relationship

with Finnian?"

"We are..." The old lady was about to speak when she suddenly realized something. "I'm sorry, I can't

tell you about this. But I swear, I'm not a bad egg. It's those people chasing me who are."

"Do bad eggs have 'I'm a bad egg' written on their faces?" Vivienne asked with an emotionless

expression.

"I can assure you that I'm definitely not a bad egg."

Vivienne didn't continue arguing over whether the old lady was a good egg or a bad egg.

After thinking for a bit, she said, "I'll take you to the airport. If anything else happens, you’re on your

own."

"Okay, okay, I promise this is the last time. If anyone else comes after me, then it's just my lot. I won't

follow you anymore."

Vivienne didn't say anything more and just continued walking with the old lady.

They had just entered North Shire, a remote place with no cabs. They had to walk a bit further to hail a

cab.

But no sooner had they taken a few steps than a car drove up.

Vivienne looked up and saw it was Percival's car. She was taken aback.

The car stopped in front of her. Percival got out and walked up to her. "Vivienne, what happened?"

Vivienne stared at his legs, looking surprised. "You?"

Wasn't he pretending to be disabled?

He wasn't in his wheelchair.

At this point, Leopold and Thomas got out of the car. “Finally, we’ve found you. You have no idea. Mr.

Ellington was so worried about you that he left the hotel without even his wheelchair and just got in the

car. Thank God, you’re okay.”

Vivienne felt a warm feeling inside, but she also felt a bit guilty. "I'm sorry. I ran into some trouble and

got delayed. Can we reschedule the engagement party?"

The engagement party was supposed to be at noon, and it was almost one now. The elders from both

families probably wouldn't wait any longer.

Percival gave her head a rub. "I’m glad you're okay. The engagement's still on. I've explained it to

them, so they're still at the hotel."

Vivienne nodded. "Then let's get going."

Only then did Percival notice the old lady next to Vivienne. "Who's this?"

"I saved her on the way. We'll go to the hotel first, and you can arrange for someone to take her to the

airport later." Vivienne said.

Percival only had one car. There was definitely no time to take the old lady to the airport now.

Percival nodded, and they all got in the car.

When they arrived at the hotel, Percival sent Thomas to take the old lady to the airport.

Before leaving, the old lady asked Vivienne, "Young lady, could you tell me your name? When I get

home safe, I'll have my family thank you."

Vivienne replied, "No need. I hope we never meet again."

The old lady looked a bit disappointed, but she didn't insist. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused. I have

to go now. I wish you a happy engagement and hope your marriage is blessed."

After the old lady left, Percival, Vivienne, and Leopold went into the hotel.

When they got into the elevator, Vivienne remembered something and suddenly looked at Percival.

"You’re just going in like that?"

Percival smirked and said with a laugh, "It’s time for my 'disability' to take a hike."
