Chapter 281
That was the only reason Dora had been willing to hand it over in the first place.
And now Stella was saying it was too little?
Did she really have no idea what kind of number one billion was, or was she just pretending not to?
Dora snapped, “You slept with my son for a few years and now you think you deserve that much money? A girl straight out of an orphanage actually thinks she’s that valuable? If he’d gone out and hired an escort, it would’ve cost him less than this…”
“Five billion.”
Hearing Dora’s insults spiral further and further out of control, Stefla calmly named an outrageous new
price.
Dora had already been furious enough to lose all reason.
Now that Stella had really said five billion, she completely exploded. “Don’t even think about it!”
“Five billion. If your family hands it over cleanly, then I won’t say another word. But if you don’t…”
Stella let the rest hang in the air.
Dora hissed, “If we don’t, then what?”
“Ask your son. Do you really think all I can do is stir up a little public opinion against Summer? Go ask him what shape Wright Corporation is in right now.”
With that, Stella hung up.
Gray, who was driving, glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Miss, why keep tangling with them?”
In his view, five billion was not even worth fighting over.
The Hogarth family could give her anything she wanted. And after everything he had seen these past few weeks, the Wright family was nothing but exhausting.
With people like that, the faster and cleaner the break, the better.
Stella said, “I just don’t want her feeling too comfortable, that’s all.”

Back when she had still been in the Wright family, Dora had done everything she could to make life difficult for her.
Now Stella was finally about to get her divorce certificate. She was free.
But right before it all ended, she still wanted to make Dora sick with anger one more time.
After thinking about it, she sent another text to the number Dora had just used to call her.
“Make sure you divide up all the real estate and other shared assets between your son and me properly too. Don’t let this so-called peaceful divorce end up in court and drag the Wright family through the mud again.”

On the other end, Dora was still at the hospital.
The moment she saw Stella’s message, she nearly lost her mind.
“She actually has the nerve to call this a peaceful divorce? Is this what she calls peaceful?”
A peaceful divorce?
What part of this had been peaceful?
Had Stella not caused enough chaos lately?
She had turned the entire Wright family upside down, and now she still had the nerve to use those words.
She was the last person on earth who had any right to call it that.
Standing beside her, Fiona looked just as sour. “She has no shame.”
When she heard Stella-throw out five billion without blinking, even she had been stunned by the audacity.
Dora said, “No shame doesn’t even begin to cover it. She’s disgusting.”
Fiona nodded. “Exactly.”
“What has she contributed to the Wright family all these years? What gives her the right to ask for that much money?”
