“Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word. I won’t shortchange you. I’ll give you three thousand, but if you don’t help me keep my secret, I won’t give you anything.”

On the other end of the phone, Eriana snorted coldly. “If I don’t get the money today, you can explain it to your grandmother yourself by her bed!”
