If the readers could easily figure it out, then how could Vivian keep on lying about this?

"Is this all that you've called me here today to discuss?" asked Julie.

The three of them did not know where to put their embarrassed faces. Patricia wore the reddest face.

Her original plan was to embarrass Julie by mentioning that she had seen her on a date with a strange man, and then force Julie to agree to support Song of Phoenix using the influence of the Smith family.

But Julie had a proper reason to justify herself so Patricia's plan backfired.

Julie faced her threat openly and honestly. She identified the man as an expert on hibernation pods who was assisting her with some information. So Patricia was left high and dry.

“If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Julie stood up to leave, much to their consternation.

Bill just could not deal with her high-handedness and disregard for their daughter.

He shouted like a volcano erupting after staying dormant for a long time!

“Julie, let's get an official divorce now! But before that, we must finalize property notarization. Everything we've earned during our marriage is marital property. Let's divorce peacefully and divide all the property equally!"

Although it was not the best timing, Bill finally voiced out what he had been planning.

Vivian's heart began to race with excitement when she heard that.

She couldn't imagine what a great fortune her mother had received. After all, it was part of the legacy of Mathias Smith, the former master of the great Smith family in Broome! She would receive a huge fortune.

As long as her father would get half the money, Vivian couldn't care less if Julie dropped dead.

The three of them held their breath, waiting for Julie's response. Hughes Group had made an appointment with the best lawyer in Sheffield. Irrespective of whether Julie agreed or not, the three of them were confident that they would secure a large share of the money!

“Bill Jenkins."

It had been a while since Julie last called him by his full name.

She uttered his name with wry contempt.

“Go ahead. I'm all ears." Bill spoke with undisguised haughtiness since things had turned completely nasty.

After staring at him for a long while, Julie said slowly, “Read my Lips... You won't get a single penny from me."

Then she turned around abruptly and left.

The three of them were flabbergasted by Julie's answer.

After a minute, Bill rocked back to his sense and ran outside with Lightning speed. He was as mad as a hatter. He shouted at the black car that was disappearing around the corner, “Don't think that the Smith family will always be your anchor! Everyone is equal before the Law!
