Chapter 204

Donald glanced at Jerry and Eric, and ran a hand through his hair with a hint of vanity
“By the way, Vivienne,” he said while grinning at her, “I recently pimped up a new car I think you’re
gonna love it. I was actually thinking of letting you take it for a spin”
“Oh?” At the mention of the car. Vivienne’s interest was piqued
Donald was known for his top–notch car modifications, and she’d driven some of his custom builds
before
“Where’s the car? She asked, arching an eyebrow at him
“It’s on its way” Donald replied while shooting a smug glance at Percival, who was sipping his tea with
a faint smile hidden behind his cup
Just then, Donald’s phone rang. His assistant sounded terrified “Sir your car, the TLJ691, was hit it’s
totaled ”
“What?” Donald’s eyes widened in shock Who the hell hit my car
וק
His assistant stuttered It was it was Mr. Ellington’s men They drove a steamroller right into it ”
Donald shot Percival an enraged look Percival, did you destroy the gift i was going to give Vivienne?
“You’ve ruined so many of my properties Percival took another sip of his tea. his voice calm and
composed. Is it so terrible that destroyed your
He turned to Vivienne with a tender expression on his face Vivienne, I can get you any car you want My
car modification skills are quite good, too Would you like to give it a try?”
This caught Vivienne so off guard that she nearly choked on her tea
Jerry and the others glared at Percival, but none of them dared to challenge him.

He pulled out a large box intending to show her the top–notch ruby he’d picked out, but something felt
off The box seemed to be moving?
Perplexed, he opened the box only to find a sleepy kitten inside, which meowed softly at him
“Aaaah! It’s a cat” Daniel shrieked like a schoolgirl and flung the box away He jumped up, almost
landing in Jerry’s arms.
Vivienne caught the kitten mid–air It was a British Shorthair that was silver in color. She thought it was
quite adorable
But Daniel looked like he’d seen a ghost it was quite amusing, considering he was a big, burly man.
As a kid. Daniel had been pranked and locked in a room full of stray cats for three days and nights,
which left him traumatized. He’d never been able to get over his fear of cats
Vivienne petted the kitten and glanced at Percival, who was leisurely sipping his tea
Leopold who had been shying away in the corner, was suddenly under the scrutiny of Jerry and the
others.
How did he know what gifts we were going to give?” Jerry asked as his gaze fixed on Leopold
All eyes turned to Leopold
Leopold raised his head nervously, flashing an awkward smile at them.
The next moment, he was being dragged out to the yard by them
They couldn’t fight in the living room it would scare Vivienne’s parents
“Percival help me Leopold cried out to Percial in panic
Percival merely sipped his tea not even sparing him a glance
Just then Wiennes parents, Dorian and Cordelia, who were sitting on the couch, turned to her, looking
confused Shouldn’t we stop the
Vivienne and Percival both enjoying their tea shrugged off their concerns
After finishing his third cup of tea Percival picked up his phone and dialed Eden Perez, the CEO of the
Perez Group

Eden sounded nervous Mr Ellington how may I assist you?

Percival hung up finally feeling satisfied
Just as the group of eight, who had just returned “Dad Jerry answered

Jerry froze, and the other seven men apparently suffered the same fate. They were all left stunned by
the incessant yelling from their parents.
He glanced at Percival, who was smirking, and instantly understood what had happened. “Percival, do

Percival, with a smug expression, wrapped an arm around Vivienne’s waist “I’m just following my
fiancée’s advice.”
“Vivienne, are you just going to let him bully us like this?” Daniel complained, still standing a safe
distance away, in fear of the cat in Vivienne’s arms.
Vivienne raised an eyebrow. She was actually thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. She didn’t want to get
involved and shrugged. “You guys bully my fiancé. and you expect me to help you? Eight of you lost to
him alone Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Daniel was speechless
At that moment, their phones started ringing like crazy again. They saw that it was their parents‘
numbers. They all knew a throbbing headache was coming, making them all reluctant to answer. They
dashed upstairs to pack their bags, then rushed back down, ready to leave.
“Don’t forget to take the hazardous waste in the yard with you.” Percival called after them.
The eight guys froze and glanced disdainfully at Leopold, who was barely conscious on the ground. But
they still picked him up and left.
With the nine of them gone, the living room became eerily quiet
Percival took a deep breath. With those nine troublemakers gone, even the air seemed fresher
He turned to Thomas and gave him an order “Clean up the room next to Vivienne’s and disinfect it
thoroughly.”
Thomas immediately complied, and without Percival having to say anything, he moved all of Percival’s
luggage into the cleaned room after tidying up the room in which Dawson used to stay.
After Percival moved into the room next to Vivienne’s as he wished, he gave Thomas another order.
“Remember to send the bills for renovating my houses to Leopold”
Thomas silently mourned for Leopold. Broken bones and a hefty bill, and it wasn’t a small sum either.
Leopold’s allowance for the year might just cover it.
