The Million-Dollar Heart Novel Episode
Chapter 689

Percival massaged the bridge of his nose, a sense of inevitability hanging in the air.

With a soft cough to clear his throat, he said, "Uncles, forgive me, I can't wait any longer for Vivienne. Marrying her isn't about weighing the pros and cons; it's about giving her my whole heart. Rest assured, as long as I draw breath, Vivienne will never be aggrieved!"

Maddox had intended to give Percival a hard time, but faced with such sincere devotion, he found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Fredrick and Yuri exchanged glances. They had been quite cross, but now their anger seemed to have dissipated.

What had gone wrong?

Vivienne glanced at her three uncles and smiled. "Don't worry, Uncles. Getting married was my idea. I trust him."

The uncles looked at each other and sighed softly.

What could they say?

Their little angel's heart was already so entwined with Percival that they feared she might get upset with them for trying to settle scores with him! Oh well, it was done!

The license was signed; what else could be done? They couldn't seriously expect them to divorce, could they? That was the last thing they wanted.

"If that's how you feel," they conceded, "then let it be. But Percival, Vivienne is our treasure. We expect you to throw a fitting wedding."

"Of course! I'll give Vivienne the grandest wedding in the world!" Percival declared.

Richard and Cecilia had planned to discuss the wedding arrangements with the Perez family, but the commotion involving rogue robots in town had them worried that someone might use the incident to harm both the Ellington and Perez families, so they shelved the plans for the time being.

However, once this matter was settled, the wedding would indeed be the next order of business.

After a brief chat, Percival and Vivienne prepared to head back home.

Just as they were about to leave, Vivienne suddenly remembered something. "Mr. Wolf, hold on, I forgot something."

Percival nodded and waited patiently.

Vivienne returned to where the woman in red had attacked her, carefully scouring the ground. She found a silver needle and a sealed bag, meticulously packaged it, and slipped it into her pocket. Once aboard the plane, Percival held Vivienne's hand. They had been through a lot, and she was tired.

With Percival by her side, she felt especially at ease and soon drifted into sleep.

In the distance, the woman in red watched the private jet disappear into the sky before turning to leave.

Her hunch was correct; this visit to M State was merely a ruse, coincidentally aligning with her own objectives.

She chuckled to herself. The ranks of F-Poison were thinning; F-Poison was barely hanging on. If that was the case, it was time to let him vanish.

F-Poison had lingered too long in power. It was time for someone more capable to take the reins.

Once back in Veridia, Percival and Vivienne wasted no time deploying their people nationwide to capture Samantha.

In a suburban area, Vivienne and Percival sat in their car.

Vivienne rolled down the window, glanced at the ongoing manhunt outside, and mused, "Mr. Wolf, what do you think that woman in red is after?"

The woman in red seemed to hold little regard for F-Poison, the notorious founder of RST, whose tactics had become many people's nightmares. Yet, in her eyes, F-Poison seemed no more than an ant. "She's an enigma," Percival said, his voice tinged with gravity.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow. "How much of an enigma?"

Percival handed her his phone; on the screen was a message from minutes earlier that read, [No record found!]

"I had our people here and in M State investigate her before we came back. All the information is the same. There's nothing on her."

It was the first time he had searched for someone and come up with absolutely nothing.

Even for the mysterious F-Poison, there was some information; at the very least, they knew F-Poison was the head of GTO, that he was not alone, and they had some leads on his covert dealings. But this woman was a ghost in all major factions and even among the ancient warrior lineages.

Vivienne looked at the message on the phone, handed it back to Percival, and smirked. "Looks like she's an even trickier opponent than F-Poison!" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Percival's face grew stern. "We don't know her purpose yet. You must be careful when I'm not with you."

He paused before adding, "By the sound of it, she seems to know you. I have a hunch she's planning to make a move on you."

"Don't worry," Vivienne assured him, "I'll take good care of myself."

Since the red-clad woman's appearance, Vivienne had felt an unprecedented sense of danger, like the pressure faced when confronting a powerful adversary.

Even though they had forced the woman to retreat in their last encounter, Vivienne still believed she hadn't shown her full strength.

Yet, Vivienne could also sense that the woman might be injured internally. She couldn't explain why she felt this way.

But right now, Vivienne thought if the woman weren't injured and had used her full power, she might have already met her maker. She didn't doubt for a second that she could be the woman's target.

So, it was crucial to capture Samantha as quickly as possible, hoping to glean some clues from her.

Only by fully understanding the enemy could they prepare thoroughly; she didn't want to die without knowing how it happened.

"Percival, Madam, we're ready to move in," Thomas announced, approaching them dressed not in combat gear but in plain clothes.

Because the Vanguard Agency didn't greenlight this operation, Percival tapped into the resources of the Nightfall Assembly while Vivienne called upon the agents of the Nine Mystics Society.

To play it safe, they hadn't brought along any team members from the Vanguard Agency except for Percival himself and Leopold.

"Right," Vivienne said, glancing at the villa not too far away. "Are we sure our target's in there?"

"Yes," Thomas replied. "Our thorough surveillance has verified that Samantha is inside that villa." "It's go time!"

With those words, Vivienne rolled up her window, flung open the car door, and stepped out. Percival followed suit, right on her heels.
