Bram dropped the act and snapped, “We’ve been real patient with you. We’d teach women like you in my town a lesson for being this stubborn. Just hand over 50 thousand dollars, and we’ll be gone.”

Orson sighed as he switched to his “good cop” act. “Miss, why make this harder on yourself? If you’d listened to me from the start, my sons wouldn’t even be upset right now. All this over some money–was it really worth it?

“We’re here for the money. You’re driving a Mercedes–Benz, so 50 thousand dollars shouldn’t be a big deal for you, right? Don’t worry. We’ll keep our word. Give us the money, and you can walk away.”

Miranda was stunned by their boldness. They didn’t even bother pretending anymore and went straight to the point.

This wasn’t a negotiation–it was a robbery. She’d never been in a situation like this but knew money could buy her way out of trouble, but 50 thousand dollars? Not a chance.

Her expression hardened. “I only have 30 thousand dollars. Take it or leave it.”

Tobin snapped, “30 thousand dollars? You think that’ll be enough to get rid of us? Look at that car you’re driving. Just replacing a headlight costs more than that! Don’t try to act poor with me!”

“Does she think we’ll buy her story? Well, she’s asking for it. This kind of woman needs a good lesson!” he growled as he raised his hand to slap her.

Just before his blow landed, something stopped it. The next moment, he was kicked to the ground.

Sam calmly withdrew his foot and glared at Tobin, sprawled out on the pavement. “Who the hell do your think you are? How dare you touch her?”

He then turned to Miranda, and his face softened with concern. “Are you okay?”
