Arianna’s family was falling apart and facing a tragic demise, however, her heart sank when she clearly saw Travis Cooper’s name on the acquisition papers. She had no choice but to negotiate with him.
Arianna lowered her head and relaxed her shoulders to ease the tension. She should show him gratefulness to make him happier, she thought, but she just couldn’t do it.
“How would you be willing to leave my grandfather alone?”
He casually poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her before replying, “I think the correct person to ask is the judge, no? The offenders are usually punished. This is a matter of justice, isn’t it?”
Arianna was beginning to grow tired of his mood swings.
“He is old, and his body is failing him. He would not last long in prison.” Arianna continued to try to sway him.
“What can I do? I always admire devoted children.” His voice carried some ridicule, “But I’m not a charity. I only do transactions with interests. What would you do in exchange for the freedom of your grandfather?”
Travis intertwined the fingers of his one hand with the other and rested his hands on his stomach as he leaned back in his chair once more. His expression was a bit lazy, “Since you entered this door, I’ve been waiting for the drama of you selling your body and soul to me in order to save your family member.”
When Arianna didn’t reply, Travis explicitly said, “Maybe I’m just bored. I’d like to try something fun.”
Arianna’s stomach felt like it flipped. She looked at the handsome face that was now showing evil.

This time, they went to a special place. It was a gem-processing workshop. Though it was a small and old place with a few workers, the environment was clean. There were lots of security measures in place.


Arianna guessed that the workshop would use machines in a production line fashion, but it turned out that the workshop still maintained the oldest handicraft tradition. As a result, the employees only used small and simple tools for their craft.


Noticing her doubts, the staff member showing her around the shop explained, “We have top technicians and top gems here.”


She was very interested in gem polishing and inlaying. After all, she never had the chance to witness the process personally. However, her opinion slowly changed as she took the tour. Arianna began thinking this place could be a high-end processing point in Travis’s business. She tried to resist her curiosity as much as possible.
