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.

On the return trip, Vince studied the pebble he bought at a high price and called the auction organizer, “Please give me the contact information of the child who donated this stone...no, I wish to give her back the stone in person.”


Arianna was zoning out. She had tried to forget about Irene’s Czech meteorite incident. But when she saw Vince study the stone and his previous words, she felt she was trapped in an unrealistic picture.


Vince took the initiative to break the silence and said, “That poor child doesn’t know that only this stone is enough to give her a worry-free fortune for her whole life.”


For the second time, he showed his amazing expertise in gemstone ore. Arianna could hardly remain silent, and she said, “Did your opponent also notice the value of the stone?”


“Maybe. He is a very successful gem merchant.”


“Did you study geology? Gems major?”
