“Mom, if you want any money from me, let’s follow Vivienne’s advice and go to court.” Dorian said calmly, “Whenever the verdict comes out, that’s when I’ll pay.”

“Just a heads up.” Vivienne added leisurely. “You have three sons and a daughter, counting Dorian. If the court decides to rule in your favor, they will only order it to be divided equally among the four of you.
