Chapter 191: Calling the Shots
"Give you something?"
Lily angrily slapped her leg, her face distorted with fury and pain. "What do you want? I've promised to give you all the engagement gifts..."
"They were my engagement gifts."
Nancy interrupted her in a deep voice, "I really want to sever ties with you, but I know it's practically impossible. You are thick-skinned, after all. Even if I unilaterally cut off contact with you, you will still come looking for me in the future, so..."
Her lips curled into a sneer. "Since that's the case, then you should fulfill all the love and care you owe me from the past ten years."
"Yes, that's the point!"
Nancy's words made Samuel so happy that he almost jumped up. All he wanted was for Nancy to acknowledge the relationship between herself and Lily. Only then would Charlie stop targeting the Mirren Family!
He immediately lowered his head and lightly pushed Lily's shoulder. When Lily looked at him, he raised his eyebrows and winked, saying, "Nan makes a good point. You haven't cared about her at all for the past ten years. If you still want her, you should give her something."
Lily really didn't want to. She thought that if she could possess Vivian's engagement gifts, she could stand tall in the Mirren Family. But now, Nancy wanted more than just all the engagement gifts. How could Lily willingly agree to that?
But Samuel's threatening gaze was obviously meant to make her agree.
She realized that she could only continue being Mrs. Mirren to maintain her high-class lifestyle.
She knew that if she didn't agree to Nancy's demands today, Samuel would probably kick her out just like he did Vivian when they got back home.
Lily gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly. Pain surged through her face, which was already swollen. "Fine, how much do you want? I'll give it to you." Nancy smiled with satisfaction and didn't speak. Instead, she raised her right hand.
Lily saw her five fair fingers and sneered inwardly.
Indeed, Nancy was ignorant.
But before she could start laughing, her mouth tugged at the swollen wound on her face, causing her to gasp. "Ouch..."

"Fine! Fifty
it to you right now..."
Nancy frowned at her. "Is a decade of care only worth fifty thousand? Mom, is your concern really that cheap?" "What?!"
Lily couldn't hold back her anger. "You want five hundred thousand?!"
"Humph..."
Nancy chuckled and put her hand

down. "Mom, you call the shots the Mirren Family, so fifty thousand doesn't match your status. How about five million?"
"Five million?!"
Lily's eyes nearly popped out. She never expected that Nancy would demand her entire fortune!
After over a decade in the Mirren Family, she had saved a little over five million as her personal savings! Nancy actually wanted it all...
"Yes."
Nancy nodded earnestly. "Mom,
think about it If you had brought me to the Mirren Family from the beginning, over these past ten years, the Mirren Family definitely wouldn't have only spent five million on me, right? I'm just asking you to pay it all at once. After all, Mom, you call the shots in the Mirren Family. Five million is nothing to you."
