"Ten billion dollars?!"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Hayley was stunned for a few seconds. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and turned to Jim, who looked shocked, "Darling, did I hear that right? Tara just said... Ten billion, right?"

"You heard right, it's indeed ten billion dollars," Jim replied as he swallowed hard.
