"So, are you paying or not?" "Fine, I will!" he spat, teeth clenched. He picked up his phone and transferred $150,000. Once she spilled the name, she probably wouldn't live to enjoy it anyway.
"Generous," Selena mocked with a sarcastic clap.
After confirming the transfer, she met his furious gaze and said, "The guy's nis Jack from next door." "Which Jack? Be specific!" Everett's mind raced through the list of 'Jacks' he knew.
