Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 489

Not long after Aurelia left, Talia unexpectedly dropped by.

Vivienne was in the courtyard poking at her pet turtle. When she turned around and saw Talia, her expression flickered with a hint of awkwardness.

Caught up in the sheer emotion of the moment, she had impulsively called Talia 'Mom.' Not 'Godmother' anymore. A one-word difference, but it meant the world.

Talia was already back to her usual imperious, queen-like self. She walked up, tapped Vivienne's forehead, and teased, "What's wrong? I'm here and you're not even greeting me? Still half asleep?"

Vivienne shook her head. "Mom."

The smile in Talia's eyes deepened. She handed Vivienne a thick contract. "Here, take a look. If everything seems fine, just sign it."

Vivienne took the document, but the moment she flipped to the first page, the sheer number on the paper made her brain short-circuit.

130,000,000,000!!!

Billions? She'd seen her fair share of ridiculous wealth, but trying to count all those zeros was giving her a headache.

"What is this?"

Talia spoke with complete nonchalance. "When Lara was caught up in that scandal, the Arlington family's funds collapsed, leading to a massive financial deficit. I gave Charles some money to plug the holes, barely managing to help the Arlingtons out of a land-selling crisis. I was just doing a favor, but when the old man found out, I don't know what he said to the Arlingtons, but Charles agreed to sell half of Gold Hill to me. I wasn't really interested at first, but then I realized it would make a great nest egg for you and Bianca, so I bought it."

Vivienne's jaw practically hit the floor. "You spent a hundred and thirty billion dollars to buy us a plot of land?"

Talia corrected her, "Not 'us.' You. Bianca's plot was a little cheaper, only a hundred and twenty-eight billion."

"..." Vivienne was completely utterly speechless. She suddenly understood why the plotline had wildly deviated by 8%. By pure accident, she and Bianca had ended up dividing all of Gold Hill!

"Mom, just how much money does our family actually have?"
