The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 137

"And Vivica was beaten by Fletcher, her face is a mess, yet when you see her, you don't offer a single word of concern. All you can talk about is money."

Quintina's words poured out in a torrent. Finally, her gaze shifted to Vivica, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Vivica, I suggest you go to the hospital and get a DNA test. Maybe you were adopted—it's the only way to explain their bizarre behavior."

The three of them turned red with humiliation. When Quintina mentioned the DNA test, Evelyn visibly flinched.

Zebulon snorted contemptuously. "This is our family business. It's not for an outsider to interfere."

"I may be an outsider, but I treat Vivica better than her own family does! If you and I get into a fight, whose side do you think she'll take?"

Quintina had a fiery, righteous personality. She'd been bottling up these words for years, and finally letting them out felt incredibly satisfying.

Vivica looked at her parents, her face devoid of any warmth. "Quintina's right. You don't see me as family. You don't even care if I live or die. All you want is to use me for money. When I gave you that four hundred thousand, I made it very clear that it was the last time."

Zahar chimed in, completely self-righteous. "What's one person going to do with all that money? We're your family, what's wrong with asking you for some of it?"

Vivica, whose heart had been shattered by her parents' suicide threat, felt nothing now but cold indifference. She let out a humorless laugh and turned back to her packing.

Evelyn, furious at her daughter's attitude, followed her closely. "Vivica, fifty million! I'm not asking for all of it, just a fraction! Your father's restaurant had to shut down for renovations after failing a fire inspection. We're losing money every day on rent and utilities—it's a disaster! Just help us out a little. Not much, just a million or so. You can definitely afford it."

Vivica said nothing, acting as if she hadn't heard a word.
