Chapter 437
Vivan locked heartbroken. “Mom, how could you say that to me Don’t you know why I got divorced? I’ve given everything to this family all these years, even sacrificed my own happiness for the rest of my life, and now you resent me?”
Stella’s expression changed. When have I ever resented you? It just that we don’t have enough space at home”
No space? I used to have my own room here,” Vivian said.
Stella’s face shifted slightly. Your room’s been turned into a piano room for your brother’s kid
Vivian let out a mocking laugh. People always say a married daughter is like spilled water. I never used to believe that. I thought you treated all of us the same?
“But now I see you never really cared about me. I come back after my divorce and can’t even get a place to stay. And to think I was hoping to come back and scrape together some cash for the formula,” she said.
Vivian took a deep breath. Since there’s no room for me here, just leave.”
With that. Vivian turned to leave, but Stella quickly grabbed her arm, her expression darkening. “Money for what?”
Vivian said. “When I split with James, I didn’t ask for money, just the remedy. He was fine, but Sarah? No way. That formula was Samuel’s legacy. Sarah said if I wanted it, I’d have to buy it. The Swansons want 300 million.”
Stella shot back, “Last time they wanted 60 million, now it’s 300 million? They keep tossing out these crazy numbers like we’re sitting on a gold mine or something?”
Vivian let out a sigh. “Honestly, Sarah never planned to sell the remedy. This is just her way of pushing me out of the Swanson family.”
Their pharma company is raking in tens of millions just this month, and tons of people are throwing big money at them for the formula, but Sarah won’t budge. 300 million is the absolute lowest they’ll go,” she said.
As she spoke, Vivian stepped forward and took Stella’s hand. “Men, you want that remedy so badly. Isn’t 300 million tot worth it for something you’ve been dreaming about?”
The next moment, Vivian turned to Rylie. “Rylie, Mom’s always been good to you. When push comes to shove, why not ask your husband to help out? Let’s pool our money together.”
Rylie was totally blindsided by Vivian dragging her into this.
Rylie thought to herself, “But it’s Lawrence who’s after that formula.
Rylie chuckled. “Are you sure 300 million is the final, locked-in grice, Vivian?”
Vivian nodded. “It is, but we’ve only got three days. Mom, if you want it, you’d better hurry and get the cash together
Vivian let out a yawn. “Tm just wiped out lately. I’m going to crash in my room for a bit.
Without giving them a chance to respond, she just walked off.
As she reached the corner of the stairs, the smile on Vivian’s face vanished.
You all think you can climb over me to get ahead? Just wait. If I don’t pull you down with me, then my name isn’t Vivian. Vivian thought to herself.
After Vivian went upstairs, Rylie finally walked over to Stella. “Mom, do you really have 300 million? Lawrence’s funds are tight right now, so he can’t spare that much at the moment”

Chapter 437
Honestly, for Lawrence, 300 million is just pocket change.
But Rylie couldn’t just go asking him for money.
92%
She’d only managed to win Lawrence’s heart and marry him all these years by always being considerate and never asking for much.
What Lawrence needed was someone who could make things happen for him, not someone who was always hitting him up for cash.
Martin and Matthew were always demanding more and more.
That was why Lawrence had to silence them for good.
Rylie would never let her son end up in the same mess.
Stella’s eyes were unwavering. “If it means getting that remedy, forget 300 million, even if it takes every last cent we have, no matter how much, I’d risk it all!”
Rylie nearly rolled her eyes out of her head.
