Brent, with his face smeared in blood and tears, looked utterly defeated. He knew well that he wouldn’t find any trace of sympathy in Raegan today. “How much are you willing to give?”
Raegan mimicked his gesture, raising her hand and spreading her fingers.
A grimace flickered across Brent’s bloodied lips. Yet, he was aware that the secret held value only to Raegan and was worthless to others. He closed his eyes, twisting his mouth in resignation. “Fine!
Five million it is. You hand over five million, and I’ll spill everything, not a single falsehood.”
Brent couldn’t help but think he had dropped his price significantly, from fifty million down to five.
Raegan gave him a look that suggested she thought he was out of his mind. She corrected him with a cool demeanor, “I meant fifty.”
Brent found himself at a loss for words. He was utterly astounded.

Overwhelmed by his feelings, he blurted out, “You’re crazy, woman!
Who bargains like that!”
Unperturbed, as if she hadn’t heard his outburst, Raegan calmly stated, “Forty.”
Brent, incredulous, managed to say, “Crazy, you’re really sick!”
Raegan allowed herself a slight smile. “This is my offer.”
“You’re making a fool of yourself!” Brent was about to explode.
Yet, Raegan remained unbothered, simply stating, “Twenty.”
Once again, Brent found himself speechless. He pondered for a moment before exclaiming, “You moron! Shouldn’t it be thirty?”

With a leisurely air, Raegan replied, “I’m the one making the offer, so I decide.”
Brent huffed, “Don’t dream about it. I’m telling you it’s not happening. I’d consider thirty…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the engine roared to life, and the window began to rise.
Brent visibly paled at this. He had witnessed firsthand Raegan’s determination, her actions speaking louder than her words. With a look of resignation, he shouted, “You’re ruthless!”
As the window continued to rise, he yelled, worried Raegan might not hear him and decided to drive away, “Fine! Twenty! Deal! I say it’s a deal!”
For Brent, who thrived on the thrill of gambling and was no stranger to life’s ups and downs, the prospect of getting twenty didn’t seem too shabby anymore. In his mind, twenty was better than zero.
At this, Raegan lowered the window and looked at Brent. “Speak now,” she said.
Brent, wary of her getting away without paying him after hearing the secret from him, responded, “Give me the money first.”
At this point, Raegan had no concerns about Brent potentially lying.
