bargained.

Now, he had become a pariah, shunned by everyone. He could only try every means to shake some money off Joanna.

When Joanna heard this, she frowned. “Heh, it’s really easy

for you to say.

Seeing that Joanna did not believe him, Derick quickly tried to please her again. Joanna, please. We’re siblings after all. Can you bear to see me die? Sister, my dear sister, I am begging you.”

Joanna’s eyes widened as she looked at Derick in disbelief.

Ever since she was young, Derick had never treated her like an elder sister. Whenever he saw her, he would give her disdainful looks and seemed to want to trample her under his feet.

“How about this?

“Aren’t you familiar with Mr. Grimm? Can you help me plead for him?”

Joanna stared at him blankly.

She never expected him to have the audacity to ask for such a favor.

“Well, if you don’t answer, I’ll take it as you agreed.

“I’m in debt of one million dollars to someone. Can you help me plead with Mr. Grimm and get me off the hook for this one million dollars?”
