Chapter 293

Got nothing better to do? Percival raised an eyebrow. His voice was colder than his expression as he

calmly asked, “Wasn’t your last bout of training enough for you?”

Leopold fell silent

A grave resentment washed over his face “Percivall Be human for once!

Last time’s intense training session almost skinned him alive. He didn’t know how he managed to crawl

out of that hellish place

“What did you say? Percival looked at him as a twinkle of amusement flashed in his eyes

He was not human?

Excellent!

Leopold’s knees immediately buckled. He almost fell to the ground. “I was wrong! I helped you drive

away the disciples last time Even though they’re still bothering you, I did put in the effort!

Percival gave him a look and he immediately scampered off

Im going! Im going right now” Leopold yelled

After Leopold closed the car door and dashed off, the car’s ambiance lost its charm.

Vivienne leaned back in her seat, changing the subject found surveillance cameras and a peculiar safe

in Scott’s study

Percival furrowed his brows. “Do you think there’s something related to your mother in that safe?

There are too many cameras around it. If it’s not important, he wouldn’t be so cautious Vivienne’s

intuition told her that Scott was hiding something

Percival remained silent for a moment “Do you need my help?‘ He offered after a long pause.

Vienne shook her head. ‘No, I can handle it myself. Your involvement might arouse his suspicion

If Scott was more complex than he appeared, any disturbance could alert him.

There was a high chance that her intrusion into Scott’s room had already been noticed

“Alright.” Percival didn’t probe further “Let me know if you need help.”

He would do anything for Vivienne

But his young lady was always so independent. It seemed like she never needed him.

All he had to do was silently support her from behind.

“Okay” Vivienne agreed “Take me home”

Percival nodded opened the car doot, and moved to the driver’s seat.

He glanced at Leopold who was sulking not far away A smirk appeared at the comer of his mouth as he

fired up the engine.

“Hey Percival” Leopold looked up just in time to see Percival drive away.

He tried to catch up, but the car was too fast. His two legs couldn’t outrun four wheels

In no time. Percival’s car had disappeared from sight

“Darn it” Leopold muttered, “What kind of man holds grudges like a woman?

As the finished his complaint his phone buzzed.

It was a call from Percival

He picked up and before he could speak. Percival’s voice came through “Did you just curse me?

Leopold shivered. He quickly scanned his surroundings and whispemd. “Where are you, Percival?*

Tm above you Percivals worce was unusually slow and steady

Leopold looked up but saw nothing

Could there be a ghost?

Percival stop messing around Leopold looked like he was about to cry

I suggest you eat more garlic to ward off evil spirits Percival continued in his languid tone, sounding like

a ghostly whisper in the dead of the night.

Leopold was dumbfounded

A burning rage was welling up in his chest

Did Percival take him for a foot?

instead of learning something useful, he was mimicking Vivienne’s spooky act?!

Leopold angrily hung up the phone and left the parking lot

But when he reached the hospital entrance a motorbike came straight at him. He managed t odge at

the last iniment, but was still chuped by the hive and fell to the ground

Damit Leopold cursed. That was dangerous?

Thankfully be reacted quickly and wasn’t seriously hurt

So, he quickly got up and headed to a small restauart across the hospital

He pulled out a few banknotes and said wandy Bors fit buy all your garie. How much do you have?

The restaurant owner looked at lam as if he were crazy

This mai

restaurant, for heaven’s sake!

Sure people liked to eat garlic with their meal, but nobody wanted to buy all the garlic

“What are you waiting for? You think the money isn’t enough) Leopold frowned

“No, no The owner glanced at the money on the table. There seemed to be a hundred dollars on the

table. Who would say no to money?

So he went to get the garlic

Leopold grabbed the garlic and started eating it right away.

The people in the restaurant all stared at him in disbeliel

After eating about ten closes Leopold couldn’t take it anymore and stopped

During his taxi ride home, he kept farting due to the garlic, releasing a near toxic level of gas that

almost suffocated the driver

A few days later Vivienne was at home reading a magazine when Mila and Calista arrived with gifts.

They claimed to be visiting Baron, but upon seeing the relaxed Vivienne on the sofa, they froze

So Viviennes home too”

Mila changed her haughty demeanor and sat next to Vivienne with a warm smile brought some fresh

crabs, which were air flown from Mairie Would you like the maid to steam some for you?

After being snubbed by Scott last time, Mila realized she couldn’t keep on like this.

Nowadays, the whole Brooks family, both Baron and Scott, treat the newly found Vivienne like a

precious gem

If the ever wished to become the matriarch of the Brooks family, Mila knew she had to earn Vivienne’s

approval.

Vivienne flicked through a magazine not sparing Mila a glance I don’t think so.”

Mia felt a sting of embarrassment Her warm friendliness was met with cold indifference. Still, she

managed to squeeze out a smile. Vivienne, dear, we had some misunderstandings before, but that’s all

water under the bridge Tve moved past it, and you shouldn’t feel guilty”

“Gulity Vivienne finally raised her eyes. Her icy gaze became even colder as she looked at Mila

Do you not remember when you caused such a scene at my mother’s concert opening? It was quite an

ugly spectacle Calista threw a mocking glance at Vivienne

With Baron Scott, and even Percival absent, she didn’t feel the need to put on an act

Vivienne was actually a bit taken aba

These two idiots were still harping on about something that happened ages ago?

Vienne gave them a disinterested glance. Her expression remained unchanged as she said, “Why

would I waste my memories on such a second–rate performance

Mila’s face darkened Vivienne, I may not be your favorite person, but I am your elder. I came here

bearing fresh crab to visit you. The least you could do is show some courtesy instead of sitting there

looking like you’ve swallowed a lemon.”

Just because Scott has a soft spot for you doesn’t mean you can throw your weight around” Mila’s

anger bubbled up isn’t that just a disgrace to the Brook

“Brought
