Those words of his were too shameless.
Simon and Melissa frowned.
Most wealthy families wouldn’t embarrass themselves like that when handling matters.
People like him who hounded others so persistently were honestly a rare sight Yet, Miranda, who was
next to him, spoke up for him.
She said, “He’s right, Mrs.Anderson.No matter what, he’s still Yvette’s husband and Nora’s father, so that
makes him family no matter how you look at it…Even though Yvette is no longer around, it’s not right to
cut off family ties with them.”
Then, she smiled and said, “Isn’t there a family like that right in our circle? Mr.Walker’s first wife was from
the Lanes.After she died, he married a Ms.Lopez.His second wife is very close to the Lanes, so the
Lanes treat her like family.Mr.Walker’s son from his first marriage has now inherited his company, and he
treats his stepmother pretty well…”
Everyone knew who Miranda was referring to.
However, this was because the stepmother had really treated the child very well.
That was why she was on such good terms with the child’s mother’s family.
This was completely different from Henry’s situation.
Had Henry treated Nora even just a little better, the Andersons wouldn’t have treated him like this, either.
Melissa sneered, “These are our family affairs, Miranda.If there’s nothing else you and Rachel need, then
the two of you can leave!”

Miranda waved her off and replied, “We’re not in a hurry.Feel free to continue”
Melissa was furious.
How she wished she could rescind the call she had made to Farrell just now.
She took a deep breath and looked at Henry.
“What are you trying to say, Mr.Smith? Why don’t you make things clear instead?”
Henry smiled and replied, “It’s actually very simple.If we’re family, then you should treat us like family and
take care of us a little more.If you don’t see us as family, then it’s time that we properly split the profits
between us.”
Simon was taken aback.
“What profits are you talking about?”
Henry replied, “The profits from the Carefree Pills, of course! The Carefree Pills were developed by
Yvette.Isn’t that something that everyone knows?”
He got up and said shamelessly, “Yvette is my wife, as well as Nora’s mother.Since she’s no longer
around, her spouse and her children should be first-in-line to inherit the things she left behind, and not
Mom, Simon, or any of you, right?”
“If you treat us like family, then it’s not like we can’t provide the Carefree Pill’s formula for free.After all,
it’ll just be family members helping each other out, right? But if you don’t, then Nora and I will split the
formula equally between the two of us.Since you’re taking the formula and investing in it, then it should at
least be split in the 7: 3 ratio, no matter how you look at it, right? Since the formula matters the most
here, then it should be worth 70 % instead of 30%.In that case, you should give me at least 35%, right?”
He had already asked around before he came to the Andersons.
As it turned out, the Andersons had already fallen into decline long ago.
However, they had reinvigorated the company with Yvette’s Carefree Pill.
That was why Henry was demanding such an exorbitant cut of the profits.
Nora let out an icy laugh when she heard what he said.
The formula that her mother had left behind didn’t allow them to mass-produce the Carefree Pill.
It was just like how she had only produced five pills even after she threw hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of medicinal herbs into it.
The one being mass-produced now was a formula that she had improved.
“You-!”
Simon became riled up.
He felt that Henry must be daydreaming.
Melissa also frowned—she could tell that things had become a little troublesome now.
Henry’s claim was actually a reasonable one.
Although Yvette had died, without a will, her things were indeed the Smiths’.
At the sight of how the Andersons’ expressions had changed, Henry said cheerfully, “The Andersons are
a big family with a big business.Surely you won’t bully people like us who come from another part of the
country, right?”
Next to him, a smiling Miranda said, “Of course not.The Andersons are a scholarly family, and are well-
known in New York as an extremely honest and sincere family.’
Henry smiled and said, “That’s great.In that case, when will you show me the accounts, Simon? We can

Next to him, Wendy also piped up.
She said, “Yes, that’s right.See, if we’re in-laws, then we definitely won’t make things so stiff and formal,
and speak bluntly.But since you don’t want to acknowledge the marriage, then we can only adopt a
‘business is business’ stance.Sigh!”
Then, she looked at Nora again and said, “You, too, Nora.Why didn’t you inform your family when you
brandished the formula? It doesn’t just belong to you, after all.We haven’t even decided on a good price
yet.”
The look in Nora’s eyes turned cold.
Seeing that he completely had the upper hand, Henry smiled with satisfaction.
He said, “Sigh, I’m actually also making us out to be strangers by wording it that way.
I’m not in a hurry for the money, Simon.
How about you do me a little favor? We can talk about these things again later.’ The Andersons didn’t
have much cash flow at the moment .
It would take at least three months for them to produce the Carefree Pills, recover costs, and make
profits! Simon was surprised to hear that from Henry.
He asked, “What kind of little favor is it?”
Henry smiled and replied, “I have another daughter who has been admitted to the New York University
School of Medicine for her postgraduate studies this year, but her current mentor is relatively young and
inexperienced.Can you help me pull some strings and get her a better mentor?”
The Andersons held a weighty position in the pharmaceutical industry.
Had it been another university, perhaps they wouldn’t have been able to intervene, but Simon indeed
was an alumnus of that school.
Most of the university’s current leaders were his ex-classmates.
