Nina fixed her gaze on Martin, her eyes deep and unreadable.
After a long moment, she finally spoke. “Is that so?”

Martin felt a sudden jolt in his chest. “What do you mean? Is anyone in the Swanson family even in medicine?”
Nina smirked. “I remember your dear sister Lily is studying medicine, isn’t she? Guess you don’t care about her as much as you say, if you forgot something like that.”
Martin froze for a moment. He turned to Lily, who was biting her lip so hard that she looked like she might burst into tears any second.
Martin’s eyes darted nervously, but he quickly tried to explain. “Don’t overthink it, Lily, It just slipped my mind for a moment.”
He used to dote on Lily,
But that was only as long as she was useful to him.
But now, Lily was constantly being outshone by Nina.
And after what happened with the Lowell family last time, he finally saw things for what they were.
No matter how good a brother he tried to be, Lily and her mother were always loyal to the Lowell family.
Since that was the case, there was no reason to keep her in the game anymore.
But for now, he still needed Lily for his own plans, so he had to keep up appearances a little longer.
“I know, Martin. You don’t have to explain,” Lily replied, her smile strained and a little forced.
Martin was getting fed up with that teary, almost-crying face Lily kept making,
He shifted his gaze away from her and looked at Nina. “You and Lily never got along. Even if she’s studying medicine, would you really trust her with the formula and let her help make the meds?”
Before Nina could respond, Martin said, “You wouldn’t. Which means nobody in the family actually knows medicine. You’re basically treating Grandpa’s formula like it’s some kind of joke.”
Nina’s eyes glinted with a sly smile as she nodded. “Exactly!”
Then, without missing a beat, Nina sneered, “If the Swanson family is this hopeless, there’s no point in splitting up the pharmaceutical company’s shares among the different branches.”
As soon as Nina said that, the folks from the second and third branches of the Swanson family looked like they’d just been slapped. Their faces fell in shock and anger.
“Martin, if you can’t talk sense, just zip it!” Linda shot back, her voice sharp. “Seriously, Nina knows way more about running a company than you ever will, so who are you to question her?
“Your grandpa’s formula might be priceless, but if it just sits there unused, it might as well be toilet paper.
“Now Nina’s not only making his last wish come true, and she’s also bringing in cash for the Swanson family. What’s not to love?”
With that, Linda flashed Nina a smile. “Nina, the second branch is totally backing you on this pharmaceutical company. So what if none of us know medicine? We’ll just bring in some pros from outside, easy fix.
“Plus, your grandpa’s formulas are for the really tough cases. Think how many people we could help. We’re all in, so don’t even think about leaving us out!”
Judy chimed in, “Michael and I are both behind you, Nina. You put him in charge of SN’s project, which shows you believe in his abilities.
“We may not know much about pharmaceuticals, but we can pitch in with everything else. Whatever you need, just let us know. We’ll back you up all the way.”
Waverly watched as Linda and Judy switched in a heartbent, and let out a cold laugh. “Figures! Once

“Linda, Judy, you two were practically begging to kick Nina out not long ago, and now you’re already sucking up to her?”
Linda’s and Judy’s faces turned bright red.
They were left speechless, struggling for words but couldn’t say a thing.
“Aunt Waverly, that’s not really how it is,” Luna said, sounding defensive. “My mom and Judy did have issues with Nina before, but that was in the past.
“People can change, right? Nina’s amazing. Lots of people like her. Why can’t my mom and Judy like her, too?” Luna scoffed, “At least my mom and Judy know how to play the game. They can tell who’s actually worth supporting.
“Unlike some people, who ignore their own talented daughter and instead fawn over an adopted girl with a questionable background.
“And really, what kind of aunt comes back home, doesn’t bother bringing a gift for her niece, and just keeps stirring up trouble? Honestly, acting like that as an elder is downright shameful.”
“You!” Waverly snapped, her face flushed with anger. “You damn girl, it’s not your place to interrupt when your elders are talking!”
“What do you think you’re doing?” Linda shot back, her eyes blazing. “My daughter is in her own home. Why shouldn’t she be allowed to speak? Try insulting her again, and see if I don’t shut you up myself!”
