The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 304

“Ah, Kala’s here too.”

Mila spotted her, causing her face to falter slightly as she forced a smile. “You’re not too busy with work

these days, huh? Here you are, lounging around the house”

One by one they came to spoil her plans

Kala was notoriously blunt and straightforward At home, she spoke her mind without regard for other

people’s feelings

Baron would occasionally chide her but it was always brief and never too harsh Hence there was a

reason for Kala’s candid and carefree nature.

“Ms Clark, since when do i need to report my work schedule to you? Kala glanced at her and spoke in

an indifferent tone

Everyone in the Brooks family knews of Mila’s interest in Scott

Kala didn’t particularly like this woman she was always scheming and plotting Moreover, hearing

rumors of Mila and Calista Pendleton’s efforts to harass Vivienne only made her more disinclined to

show her any friendliness

Mila’s face stiffened for a moment “What are you saying? Our families have been old friends for years,

so, as an elder, it’s only natural for me to show concern.

“Hal” Kala scoffed. She walked over to the living room and sat between Vivienne and Mila, pushing

Mila to the side Ms Clark, what brings you here again? Dident you have enough of my grandfather’s

scolding last time?”

Mila felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Her entire body felt uncomfortable “What scolding?

Kala, you must be mistaken”

If she had known kala would be here, she would have brought Calista along

Having her daughter, a medical genius, by her side would have given her more confidence and made

her voice stronger

“Really? Kala laughed dismissively while looking down at the coat in her hands. “This design is a bit

outdated, isn’t it? it’s not for Vivienne, is it? It would sut you just right

Outdated?

It would suit her?

Upon hearing this. Mila instantly felt irritated

Was this a roundabout way of calling her old?

“Kala, what do you mean by that? Mila couldn’t keep her composure any longer. “I bought this present

for Vivienne out of genuine kindness. It’s a limited–edition product that not everyone can afford. How

could you say such things?”

As she spoke, she looked so hurt. She was even on the verge of tears

Kala was dumbfounded.

Damn!

Was this a drama?

Kala rolled her eyes and spoke with a tinge of annoyance in her voice. “Ms Clark, Scott isn’t here now,

so who are you putting on a show for? Vivienne and me? Do you think we care about your cheap

tears?

Mila stiffened. She was ready to burst into a mad rage at any moment. Yet she held it back, saying,

“Kata, you’re being very mean. I brought a gift for Vivienne, and you insulted it right in front of me is this

the kind of manners the Brooks family teaches their children?”

Mila, being a renowned pianist, was always surrounded by a halo of fame and adoration from her fans.

There was always a tinge of arrogance deep within het, which made her constantly display an air of

superiority in front of Vivienne

Kala was speechless. “Your coat is outdated, and I’m not allowed to say it?”

With that, she turned to Vivienne Vivienne what do you say? Was I wrong in my judgement?”

Vivienne finally lifted her eyes slightly and glanced at the coat

“The stitching is outdated, the embellishments are too cluttered, and the color is extremely dull.” She

scoffed lightly, then returned her attention to her phone. “Myma is really falling behind”

Myma had consulted her before, and she had given a few pointers

But Myra’s work was always inconsistent. This time was no different it was mediocre and lacked depth.

For a moment, Mila doubted her own ears. This was Myrna they were talking about here. She was a

world–renowned designert

Many wealthy people lined up to buy her clothes, but here in front of Vivienne, they were dismissed as

worthless

“See I told you it was outdated Kala crossed her arms smugly, which infunated Mila

She gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap Kala right then and there

But she couldn’t She knew Baron was resting in his room

If she made a scene she might be kicked out again

Calista had warned her to endure Without a hundred percent certainly, she couldn’t act rashly.

For the power and status that came with becoming the legitimate Mra Brooka, she was ready to endure

all the bitterness she was feeling.

Mila had made mistakes in the past due to her impulsiveness. She swallowed ( between you and

Calista, but Eve always treated you as my own daughter

ill intentions

Vivienne laughed coldly as she lifted her chin “You think anyor

and said. “Voderne, I didn’t mean any harm, 1 köow then an some diagreteria I’ve said something or

done something to spurt you, it was all for your

My Moth

She hadn’t even become the true matriarch of the Brooks family yet she warded to

Was the worthy?

Mila was getting very frustrated, but she suppressed her anger yet again. “I know your mother has

been gone for a long time, but everyone needs to We cant live in the past forever”

“Scott has been searching for you all these years because he can’t let go of his feelings. He’s a loyal

perton, and as his daughter

ith their laws.

Vivienne’s eyes turned icy cold. Her aura was chilling

“Shut up! Sensing Vivienne’s displeasure, Kala picked up a cup of water from the table and threw it at

Mila’s face if you want to join the Brooks family, you’ll have to see if we agree!

The whole cup of water splashed onto Mila’s face, causing her to shriek, and stand up in a hurry

She was soaked with water from head to toe

Even her expensive dress was stained with water

“What are you doing? Mila yelled in anger

Kala didn’t even spare her a glance and turned to the maid instead. “Aurelia, see the quest out

She grabbed the designer bag that once held a coat from the table and, with a look of disdain on her

face, tossed it toward the intruder Brooks family’s property!

Did she really think she could do as she pleased and push the Brooks family around? Showing up

uninvited every other day was wearing thin

“Your” Mila was livid and her face was flushed with rage. She didn’t care about the cost she had just

bought. She was set on slapping Kata right then and the

However just as she extended her hand, someone gripped it rendering her immobile

of me?” Mila turned to rebuke the person holding her back, but as she pivoted, she found Scott

standing behind her.

She was momentarily taken aback “Scott Weren’t you supposed to be out of town for a few days?

Scott’s face was stem, clearly, he had seen everything that had just transpired, and his anger was

palpable “Ms Clark, I believe I’ve made it clear that no one has the right to discipline my daughter

Likewise no one from the Brooks family needs your discipline?

Mila was shell–shocked She began shaking her head in a desperate attempt to defend herself. “It’s not

like that, Scott It’s all a misunderstanding. I never mæurt.

“Never meant what Scott curtly released her hand, as if even holding it was distasteful. “Did you not

understand what I just said?
