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.

“No, he is way out of your league. Travis did many bad things, but he was upright and honest. He was not born in a wealthy family, that’s why he is not as sinister and hypocritical as you are.”


“You come to me to ask for something from me today, right? At least it would be best if you started bargaining now. So, why don’t you lower your attitude and start talking? You are an adult, right?”


“Oh, thank you for the reminder. I’m not bargaining anything with you. I’m here today just to remind you, play nice, and we will all be good.”


Charles smiled, “Are you threatening me on what? If you find evidence to your benefit, just do it.”


“Ah, I forgot you always let errand boys do the dirty work and take the blame. I really cannot threaten you.”


“Are you arguing for Travis? He could have used the same tricks as mine. But if he would rather lose and maintain his integrity, I won’t refuse that. The world will always remember the winner, no? I learned this sentence from you.”
