Chương 183: Chapter 183: The Queen Of Wheat

Wow, that was a bombshell to drop. While I sorted out the implications-and Molly's return to susptecthood-Daisy spoke up.

"Isn't there anything she can do? To shut down the book?" She seemed more upset about it than Vivian. It did answer the copyright question. All ownership should have passed to Molly, at least as far as I knew.

The cold blonde shrugged, her coat sighing around her. "There are copyright laws," she said. "But if Gloria never registered them, Ron could have dragged out a court case until the family couldn't afford to fight any longer."

"Actually," I said, "he was in financial trouble himself."

She met my eyes, crystal blue surprised. "Really. How interesting."

I felt myself still in that moment as I realized just how alike the two of us were. And that, if circumstances were different, Vivian and I might-might, in an alternate universe I never wanted to visit-have been friends.

Shudder.
