The Woman From Hell

When the man did not respond, I sneered and said, "I'm warning you, if you dare to touch me, you'll spend the rest of your life rotting in jail."

"There's no need to scare me. I know about all the horrible things you lot are capable of. Wretched businessmen like you steal from the poor like us. The least you can do is return the money to us." His logic made no sense at all.
