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.

The atmosphere was awkward and boring. Arianna wanted to disappear as soon as possible. She stood up in a hurry but lost her balance and almost fell. Vince immediately stood up and helped hold her body steady, but his feet were still not strong enough, so the two of them fell down on the chair Vince was sitting in a second ago. Arianna fell into Vince’s arms and heard a low grunt from him. She probably hurt his injured leg.


Arianna climbed up from him hurriedly, wanted to apologize and explain, but saw Vince staring at the doorway indifferently. Arianna looked at the doorway, and there stood Lady Johnson with a calm face and Rebecca with a complicated expression.


Rebecca said, “Sorry for interrupting.”


The old lady said, “You guys just continue.”


Vince didn’t say anything, and Arianna went back to York’s house upset and claimed that she was ill.
