The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 343

Hearing the news, William’s heart was filled with excitement

Professor James was the most prestigious scholar at Elite University, known for his philanthropy and

generous support for underprivileged students

Living under his influence the people he loved and his son would definitely be of good character as well

He quickly turned to Vivienne. “Malam, can you take me to meet them?”

He was hesitant to show up uninvited, fearing it could startle them

He knew that Professor James had been Vivienne’s teacher at Elite University, which would surely

smooth the way for their reconciliation

“Go back and rest I’ll find you after I’ve sorted things out here Vivienne replied

Casting a glance at Mila and Calista, William’s face fell “Alright

Did they think that getting on Vivienne’s bad side would only result in a minor injury?

They really underestimated Vivienne

Once William left the Brooks household returned to its usual calm

The younger generation exchanged glances, hesitant to speak

Judith was so angry that she clutched at her chest struggling to catch her breath

Scott wore a cold expression, exuding an aura that was chilling and devouring

The tension hung heavy in the air

Seeing that the Brooks family remained silent. Mila finally spoke, “I had intended to keep this secret

forever, but now that Vivienne has exposed it it’s time to

Mila looked straight at Scott, “You don’t have to marry me. Scott, but you must acknowledge Calistal

My mistakes have nothing to do with her. She shouldn’t pay for I’ve done!

After today, all of Riverwood will know that Calista is your daughter which will bring dire effect to her

reputation. If you disown her, it will ruin her life. You may Scott, but please, for the sake of our child

handle this matter responsibly‘

Calista lay on the floor, utterly dumbfounded

How could things have spiraled so out of control?

But for her this was a good thing

What mattered to her was not prestige or honor

What mattered was having a social status that matched that of Percival’s

Only the heiress of the Brooks family could match the pedigree of the Ellington family!

“What a joke! Kala retomed angrily “Why should the Brooks family pay for your mistakes? Everyone in

Rivenwood knows that Scott has always held i acknowledges this girl as his daughter, that would put

stigma on him.”

She never liked Mila and her daughter

But now not only did she have to put up with them, they were actually trying to be acknowledged as

part of the Brooks family?

This was just cramping her style

And she really liked Vivienne

She loathed Arabella when Scott mistakenly acknowledged her, and she hated Calista even more

Vivienne was the only one she wanted to protect She wouldn’t let Calista come back and cause trouble

for Vivienne

Kala Watch your words Timothy who had been silent until now. suddenly intervened

They had no right to interfere with this matter

The decision was ultimately up to Scott

Kala wanted to argue but she held her tongue on seeing Scott’s stem expression

Scott was as cold and heartiess as ever

Even if she gave birth to his daughter who was a girl of exceptional character he was still too heartless

Karen Scott had always been partial to Tristan.

offended Vivienne several times and suffered for it. So he had been disappointed in Tristan.

| Tristan was trying to meddle in this matter, Scott was not pleased.

Tnstan lowered his gaze I know I’m just an adopted son and I shouldn’t interfere. But I love Calista! I

want to marry her!”

What Scott was shocked

Judith and the rest of the Brooks family were also stunned

Even Mila and her daughter were unable to process the situation for some time

Vivienne was the only one who remained unfazed She looked at them indifferently with a faintly raised

eyebrow

Without further ado, Tristan struggled to get off his wheelchair, knelt on the floor, and pleaded earnestly,

“Dad, for the sake of my mom, please grant me this wish. I can give up the status of being the Brooks

family’s adopted son. I just want to marry Calista!”

The mom he mentioned was Karen!

Karen was his savior, but after being adopted by Scott, he also started to call her mom

Calista was taken aback for a while before she could react. She looked at Tristan with disdain.

Was that cripple adopted son really dreaming of marrying her?

That was just ludicrous!

But she knew that although Tristan was an adopted son, he held a significant place in Scott’s heart. If

Scott agreed to Tristan’s request, she could easily weasel her way back into the Brooks family

Once she became the lady of the Brooks family, it would be a piece of cake to ruin her marriage with

Tristan

With this in mind, she looked up at Scott, “I like Tristan, tool

“What the hell??? Kala exclaimed in shock

Calista liked Tristan?

Was this some kind of joke?

This woman, who was always aiming for the stars, was set on marrying Percival And how came that

now she wanted to marry Tristan?

“You Scott was so angry that his chest hurt He looked at Tristan and Calista and was unable to utter a

word.

The atmosphere was tense for a long time until Scott sighed, ‘Fine‘ Children’s debts are paid by their

parents. Tomorrow, I will make an announcement recognizing Calista’s identity, but Mila, you can forget

about ever marrying into the Brooks family!”

Mis for on didn’t have any objections.
