Freya was just about to snag the contract from Preston's grasp when he used his height advantage and raised his hand to place it out of her reach.

"I'm not helping you out for nothing. Where's my end of the deal?"

Digging into her purse, Freya pulled out a contract and handed it to Preston, saying, "A piece of land in the Dawson family's district. But I'm not as well-off as Eloise's family, so I can't give it away for free." Preston said, "Weren't we clear before? Ten billion, not a penny more, not a penny less."
