For a few seconds, Quinn held Ariel's gaze before extracting her phone to type out a message. "If | give you the
money, will you let Juliet cback?" she asked.
Ariel responded with a chuckle. "Of course. Having someone else take care of her expenses would be one less
burden for me. Given your close relationship with my mother, you shouldn't have any problem helping her out,
right?" Quinn hesitated momentarily before continuing to type. "Bring Juliet here, and you'll get your money."
Ariel's smile faltered at her words, and he grumbled in response, "She's getting old. It's not easy for her to move
around. Givethe money first, and I'll bring her over afterward."
Quinn didn't trust him. Juliet had warned her about his insatiable greed. If she gave him the money now, he
wouldn't bring Juliet. Instead, he would continue to exploit her to extract more money, and Quinn would be left
with nothing. "Bring her, then you get the money."Ariel's growing anger was evident. It was clear he had never
intended to take the half-million and leave. 'For the Kennedys, a family of considerable wealth, half a million is
but a drop in the ocean. Why settle for that when | can push for five million, adequately rewarding my efforts?"
Ariel thought.
"If this is how you want to negotiate, fine. | won't mince words. Givea flat rate of five million. If you can
afford it, I'll bring her over immediately. If not, forget the whole deal!" Quinn was momentarily taken aback, not
expecting such audacity in his demand.
Seeing her reaction, Ariel knew she couldn't produce five million. So, he pressed further, "Nthe date. When
can you givethe money? I'll bring my mom over then." Quinn was at a loss. Even the initial half-million was

Ariel stretched out his hand, displaying five fingers. "Five days, can you manage that? I'll cto you after five
days." Quinn typed swiftly, "I can't cup with that much money."
Ariel furrowed his brows, "Who are you trying to fool? The Kennedys are loaded, and you can't givefive
million? You think I'm buying that?"
"Look, | don't care. You have five days. If you don't have the money by then, you can forget about seeing my
mother!" With that, he spun on his heel, hopped into his Volkswagen, and drove off.
Suddenly, Quinn's abdomen began to ache again. Clutching her stomach, she hurried into the villa and took out
the medicine prescribed by the doctor, washing it down with a glass of water.
The medicine didn't seem to help, so she found the painkillers, pouring a handful out and popping them in her
mouth like they were candy beans. One or two pills no longer did the job. She needed a good number of them to
alleviate her pain.
After taking her medication, she exhaled deeply, but as she was exiting the room, she suddenly felt the world
spinning, and her vision went black. Quinn collapsed, rigid as a board. Quinn drifted into a dream, but not one
filled with memories of Alexander. This time, she was engulfed in red. The entire world was a stifling shade of
crimson, choking her with its singular hue.

She ran frantically through the red mist, desperate to escape the suffocating color, but she couldn't break free.
The air was being siphoned away, making breathing more and more laborious."Quinn."A voice called out to her,
ethereal and seemingly from the edge of the heavens. She looked up, following the sound, and in the next
moment, she stumbled into a void, the sensation of weightlessness overwhelming her.
Quinn's eyes snapped open as she gasped for air, lungs greedily inhaling the air around her. The feeling of
suffocation was terrifyingly real as if it had followed her from reality into her dream.
