Bart felt flustered.
He discreetly tugged at Maggieâs sleeve and whispered, âWhat should we do now? These guys seem to have some influence in this area.
Dealing with them is going to be tricky.
â
Maggie, of course, was well aware of the situation.
She swallowed, her heart pounding in her chest as she feigned calmness.
âTwo hundred thousand is absolutely out of the question.

âI can offer twenty thousand.

The man let out a sinister Laugh, stepping forward in a threatening manner.
âYou wonât hand over the money until I teach you a lesson, huh?â
Maggieâs heart raced nervously as she observed the dangerous aura emanating from the man.

Jeffry stated calmly, shaking his phone in front of the manâs face.
It seemed to have an effect as the manâs expression changed.
Maggie hastily seized the opportunity.
âTwenty thousand is more than sufficient.
If this goes to court, you wonât receive as much money.
â
The man regarded Maggie, seemingly processing their words.
Jeffry glanced back at Maggie and shook his head.
âTwenty thousand is still being generous.
I believe five thousand will do!â
