The Million-Dollar Heart - Season 2 Episode 80
The next day.
When Vivienne awoke, Percival had already prepared breakfast.
After seeing the strawberry cake on the table. Vivienne’s eyes lit up and she quickly walked over.
“Strawberry cake?”
Percival handed her a slice of the freshly cut cake. His deep, affectionate eyes were glowing,
showcasing his intentions to do nothing but please her. “Try it. Do you like it?”
Vivienne took a bite and nodded. “It tastes just like it used to. Your cooking is still so good.”
After receiving her compliment, the smile on Percival’s lips deepened.
He had initially planned to make the cake for her in the afternoon. He thought that having cake in the
morning. might be a little heavy. But considering her low spirits the day before, he decided to wake up
early to prepare it.
Her satisfied expression made him feel content.
“Don’t eat too much in the morning. I’ll make it for you every day.” Percival gently stroked her head. His
slender fingers gently threaded through her beautiful hair. His voice was soft and full of love. “My girl,
whatever you want, I’ll make sure you have it.”
Vivienne looked up at him. The morning sunlight highlighted his handsome features. She had to admit
that he was incredibly good–looking.
He seemed to have inherited all the best features from his ancestors. His face seemed to have been
expertly sculpted, so much so that it drew people in at first glance.
Suddenly, she felt that not canceling their engagement wasn’t such a bad idea. At least, seeing his face
every day would certainly lift her spirits.
Her gaze fell on his cool lips, and a small flame seemed to flicker deep within her. She put down the
cake in her hand and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mr. Wolf, don’t tempt me.”
Percival fell silent.
When had he ever tempted her?
Before he could speak, Vivienne tiptoed and kissed him. The sweet taste of cake still lingered in her

mouth. Percival wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, his voice husky as he said,
“Vivienne… It’s you who’s tempting me.”
“Really?” Vivienne looked up at him with her bewitching eyes. “And are you letting me?”
Percival’s flame had been ignited, and he pushed her against the wall. Instead of answering her, he
kissed her passionately.
The kiss lasted for a long time before Percival, satisfied, finally let go of Vivienne.
Vivienne’s face was flushed. She tidied her disheveled hair, her voice now slightly awkward. “I need to
go to school.”
She must be crazy. Why did she always want to throw herself at Percival?
She was sure she didn’t have true feelings for him.
She was only sticking with the engagement because he was Mr..Wolf, her mother’s apprentice.

She wouldn’t admit that she seemed to be falling for him.
Never!
Cloudcrest High School.
After the students of Class Eighteen resumed their regular curriculum, their academic progress was
back on track.
The college entrance test was in just over a week, so all the students were in review mode.
Today was Friday, and the results of the last quiz were out.
Vivienne looked at the scores of the entire class and was very pleased.
As she entered the classroom with the papers in hand, the students of Class Eighteen stood up and
respectfully greeted her. “Good morning, teacher.”
Their voices were full of vigor and youthful energy.
Vivienne placed the papers on her desk, her expression serious as she looked at the students. “The
quiz results are out.”
The students tensed up at her serious demeanor.
Vivienne scanned their faces before picking up the papers and distributing them. “Ivy, Literature A,

English A. Math A, Science A, last in class, 200th in grade.”
Ivy, sitting at the back of the classroom, had a bad feeling when she heard her name. When Vivienne
announced that she was the last in class, she felt disheartened.
However, hearing that she was 200th in the grade was a surprise.
“Ms. Vivienne, are you sure? I’m really 200th?” Ivy asked, feeling incredulous.
The last time she checked, she was 400th in the grade. In just over a month, she had jumped to
200th?!
Her chances of getting into a good university had skyrocketed.
“Absolutely.” Vivienne handed her the paper. “See for yourself.”
Ivy took the paper, still feeling as if she were dreaming. It wasn’t until Vivienne began to read out the
next. student’s score that she returned to her seat.
“Logan,10th in class, 20th in grade.”
“Oberon, 6th in class, 15th in grade.”
“Coral, 4th in class, 10th in grade.”
“Anna, 3rd in class, 6th in grade.”
As Vivienne read out the scores, the class was shocked when she reached Anna’s.
“What?!! Anna is 3rd in class and 6th in the grade?!”
“Did I hear that right? Anna had always been at the bottom of the class; even Ivy had always scored
better than her. How did she suddenly jump to 3rd place?”
“Who knew she was such a dark horse?! Our class really is full of hidden talents. If Anna is only 3rd,
who are the top two?”
The students of Class Eighteen were all in an uproar.

Chapter 180
Vivienne raised her eyebrows while looking at the calm Anna, who was walking towards her.
“You surprised me.”
Anna hung her head low and spoke in a steady voice. “Ms. Vivienne, one cannot be mediocre forever,

right?”
Vivienne raised an eyebrow. “Right!”
Anna didn’t say anything more. She just took her paper and returned to her seat. Once seated, she
looked up at Vivienne with a thoughtful gaze.
Vivienne met her gaze as their eyes clashed like two rockets, sparking fireworks.
Vivienne calmly continued to read the scores. “Faye, second in class, second in the grade, and second
in the whole city.”
This was a citywide examination involving all high schools in Havenwood. The citywide rankings were
only mentioned if the students had made it into the top 10.
The class was once again buzzing.
But before the exclamations could be fully voiced, Vivienne’s voice echoed again, “Charlotte, first in
class, first in the grade, and first in the whole city.”
The previously buzzing students of Class Eighteen were now as quiet as a hushed stadium.
Not a single word was uttered.
After an awkward pause, someone finally yelled.
“Ah!! Charlotte is the city’s top scorer!”
“She’s absolutely amazing! My goodness! Class Eighteen finally has a shining star!”
“We have the top two scores in the city, and the whole class made it into the top 200 in the grade. This
is a true underdog success story!”
Amid the cheering, Charlotte looked utterly bewildered.
What exactly had she just heard?
First in the class?
First in the grade?
First in the whole city?!
No way!
She must be dreaming!
She had to be!
There were a number of questions on the math and English tests that she wasn’t sure about. How
could she possibly have gotten perfect scores?
“Charlotte, what are you spacing out for? Go get your paper!” Her deskmate nudged her arm.
