Chapter 250
Olivia seemed to be a man of her word.
After saying that she didn’t want the shop, she never interfered in the sandwich business ever again.
She didn’t even settle the accounts.
It was as if she really had no interest in money.
Megan was stunned. She was speechless for a long time.
Doris sat opposite her and pinched her fingertips. She looked at Olivia seriously and said in a surprised tone, “You really don’t want it anymore?”
Olivia nodded. “I don’t want the money in the account, but I’ll have to charge for the recipes. The three recipes I taught Stella are free. I’ll charge two thousand dollars for each recipe for the remaining seven recipes.”
“So expensive!” Megan exclaimed. “You might as well rob someone!”
Julian pulled a long face and looked at Olivia with dissatisfaction.
Doris sneered.
She had thought that she was really a noble and pure person who didn’t want anything. So she was scheming here?
She looked over and sized up Olivia for a while. She had an accurate guess in her heart.
Such an unscrupulous scheme, yet she still chose to retreat in order to advance. She must be someone’s mistress.
A person could lose their memory, but their temperament would never change.
As the saying went, mountains and rivers were easy to change, but nature was hard to change.
That was the logic.
Even though Olivia usually looked hardworking and down–to–earth, she instantly revealed her true nature at the critical moment.
Doris immediately didn’t want to interact with Olivia anymore.
She was afraid that she would be tainted by the cunning aura of a peddler.
This would affect her pure talent in painting.
Megan was very dissatisfied with the fact that Olivia wanted money for the recipes. She muttered, “How can you ask for money? It’s just a few recipes. Besides, your father and I have raised you for so many years, but we didn’t ask for money.”
Julian knocked on his cigarette and said, “You can ask for money for the recipes, but you have to return the child support we gave you for more than 20 years.”
“Alright,” Olivia agreed immediately. “It’s only right for me to return my parents‘ child support. However, I don’t have any money on hand now. I can’t get so much money in a short period of time. The few recipes are the only valuable thing I have. How about this? I’ll sell them publicly.
“Now that sandwich business is so popular, I’m sure many people are willing to buy it. I won’t sell too much. I’ll charge four thousand dollars for each recipe. Once I get the money, I’ll give it to you.”
“How can you do that?” Megan was dumbfounded. “This is our family’s recipe. If you sell it, others will also sell sandwiches. What should we do?”
Julian was also mute.
He only wanted to put pressure on Olivia and ask her to give them the recipe for free. He did not expect her to sell it.
His face immediately darkened.

“Mom.” Olivia was reasonable. “As parents, you have to be reasonable. You said that sandwich shop will be
left to Doris, and I agreed. You said that you want me to pay for the child support, and I agreed. What else do you want from me?”
Megan was at a loss for words.
It was still Doris who spoke.
“Olivia, you can’t be scheming toward your relatives. You’re Mom’s child. Everything you have should belong to Mom, let alone a few recipes. How can you ask for money?”
Doris spoke righteously with disdain.
She despised Olivia’s scheme.
Olivia leaned back in her chair and tapped her fingertips on the back of the chair. “Of course I’ll be filial to my parents. If this shop belongs to my parents, I’ll definitely give it to them. But the problem now is that this shop is yours.
“Even if we’re biological sisters, there’s no reason for you to take advantage of me like this. Doris, you’re still a university student.”
Doris was instantly speechless.
She frowned and thought for a long time, but she could not think of anything to refute Olivia.
At this moment, Julian slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, “Alright, we’re all family. How can. you be so squabbly? Let’s not talk about today first. All of you go and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
He chased them all away.
Julian quickly gestured for Megan to speak to Gillian.
The two of them were on the phone, so Gillian heard the situation clearly.
She had a headache.
The Taylor family’s situation was different from the Smith family’s. Whatever the Taylor family had was all from Olivia.
However, the Smith family belonged to her grandfather.
Ever since she was young, every time her grandfather hosted a big shot from Capital City, he would only bring Olivia over. He only brought Olivia to visit Mr. Swift who was in the convalescence home.
stay at home and look after the shop. I’ll bring your brother and Doris over.”
In the afternoon, the Taylor family’s shop was empty, leaving only Olivia.
