The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne)

Fiona was at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to respond.

She hadn't had time to look into Vivienne's relationship with this group, so she wasn't sure what was

going on.

Right now, she was certain that she didn’t want to offend these people.

"Vivienne hasn't even married Percival yet, and you dare treat her like this? What will happen once she

does?" Daniel looked at them coldly. "Do you think the Ellington family is untouchable?!"

"Don't get too cocky!" Ryan roared angrily. "The Ellington family doesn't need your advice on how to

handle our business!"

"Is that so?" Jerry smirked. "Then, Mr. Ellington, let's see if we're qualified to teach you a thing or two!"

With that, Jerry picked up his phone and made a call.

Daniel and Eric also took out their phones and started dialing numbers.

"Immediately stop all business with the Ellington family. Cut off their cash flow."

"Cancel all collaborations with the Ellington family. Even if it's just downstream companies. All related

projects must be terminated!"

"Carry out my orders. I want to see the Ellington family's stocks plummet today!"

Ryan and his crew were dumbstruck as they watched Jerry Perez and the others in action.

Individually, the Ellington family might not take these men seriously.

But if all eight of them worked together, even the Ellington family, the richest family in Rivenwood,

wouldn't be able to handle it.

Before they could react, Ryan's phone started ringing.

"Mr. Ellington, we're in trouble! The Perez Group has canceled their collaboration with us, and goods

are piling up."

"Our stocks have crashed. All our projects have been suspended, and our partners are saying they

won't back down unless we apologize."

"Our suppliers are demanding payment. If we don't pay within an hour, they'll refuse to supply us."

Though Richard had chosen Percival as his successor, the Ellington family's business was still being

managed by Ryan and his other two brothers. As for the youngest brother, he rarely came back to the

city, so he was rarely involved in the company's affairs.

Now, with his other two brothers, Nathan and Henry, not present and Ryan's phone being bombarded

with calls, the situation was getting out of hand.

This made Ryan's face turn deathly pale. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Percival, these people are bullying the Ellington family." He pointed at Percival, who was watching

from the sidelines and accused him of being too lenient. "Are you just going to sit back and do

nothing?!"

Even though they were all Ellingtons, Percival seemed to be siding with the outsiders.

Percival raised his eyebrows indifferently. "I'm a nobody, Ryan. Remember?"

Rumors had been circulating that Percival was a waste of space, and it seemed they were still going

strong.

Had the Ellingtons forgotten?

He might not like Vivienne's friends, but he didn't mind them taking a swing at the Ellington Group.

If Ryan and the others dared to disregard Vivienne, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

As for anything to do with the Ellington family's business, he didn't care about it unless it concerned his

grandfather.

"Do you realize what you're saying?!" Cathy was so angry that she began to laugh hysterically. "The

Ellington family is in trouble, and instead of helping your own family, you're siding with them?! Aren't

you afraid the old man will be furious when he wakes up?!"

Percival gave her a slight smirk.

Ha!

If his grandfather woke up and learned about the situation, the first thing he'd do would be to scold him

for not protecting Vivienne.

Percival didn't even bother to glance at Cathy. His gaze was solely fixed on Vivienne. "Vivienne saved

my grandfather's life. She's a savior to the Ellington family."

"A savior?!"

Ryan couldn't believe his ears. He turned to Vivienne, angrily shouting, "The old man hasn't woken up

yet, so you're still responsible!"

"If anything happens to him, how are you going to answer to the Ellington family?!"

Vivienne raised an eyebrow. She was clearly irritated.

She looked coldly at Ryan. "Mr. Ellington, you haven’t mentioned your father recovering once. Do you

really hope he doesn't make it? Do you want him dead?"

Ryan's face changed color. "What nonsense are you spouting?! When have I ever wished for the old

man's death?"

Although that was exactly what he was thinking.

If the old man died, according to the inheritance law, he, as Richard’s eldest son, should inherit the

company.

And since the old man's accident was sudden and he hadn't left a will, if he wanted to seize control of

the Ellington family, the other branches couldn't even interfere.

But when Vivienne brought this up in public, it changed the whole situation.

He could already feel the hostile glares from the other members of his family.

"Hmph!" Vivienne snorted. "So, you're picking on me just because I'm an easy target?"

She gave a slight smile, and without waiting for Ryan to respond, she turned to Percival. "Mr. Wolf,

what do you think?"

Percival ran his fingers through her hair, whispering, "You can do whatever you want."

Even if Jerry and his friends wanted to mess with his personal company, they wouldn't be able to do

anything, even if there were twenty of them.

But when it came to the Ellington Group, just two or three of them would be enough.

He wouldn't interfere.

If the Ellington family fell, so be it.

He had never cared about being the number one family in Rivenwood.

Vivienne laughed. Even with all this chaos going on, her smile was still dazzling and attractive.

"Jerry, for Mr. Wolf's sake, just give him a little lesson." She said with a cold smile.

Jerry glanced at Percival. He clearly wasn’t happy, but he had to listen to Vivienne. "I got it."

Jerry then took out his phone and dialed a number.

Ryan's phone rang again in no time.

"Big brother." Heloise was naturally timid. Upon seeing Ryan's phone ringing non-stop and realizing

that it was all bad news, she couldn't help but advise him to calm down. "Let's just let it go. We can't

fight her."

Vivienne’s disciples might not be as strong as the Ellington family, but that didn't mean Ryan could

handle them all.

Ryan frowned and retorted indignantly, "What do you mean we can't fight? Are you trying to puff up

their pride?! I don't believe it! The great Ellington family can’t be brought down by a bunch of

stragglers!"

Jerry sneered. He had given the other party a chance, but unfortunately, Ryan didn't know the meaning

of the word restraint.

The next second, countless calls flooded Ryan's phone.

"Mr. Ellington! There’s only forty-five minutes left! We can't pay for the goods, so the production line has

come to a halt!"

"The losses of the Ellington Group are growing exponentially! Every minute we spend is money!"

Ryan, who was just high-spirited, was now feeling no lower than the fish at the bottom of the sea.

Reality had slapped him hard in the face.

"Impossible." He said unbelievably, "The Ellington Group is well-off, so how can we not afford to pay for

the goods? You must be fooling me!"

The person in charge on the phone was almost in tears. "The funds must be signed by Percival. We

can't get a penny without Percival's approval!"

Percival...

This was like a lightning strike, exploding above Ryan's head.

He looked up in shock, staring hard at the man in front of him, who was calm and composed, feeling

like he was in a dream.

"You actually refused to fund the Ellington Group?!"

Damn it!
