“I really can’t afford that much,” Raegan responded with sincerity.


    “Asking for so much just isn’t reasonable.


    Let’s settle on a realistic amount.


    ”


    Watching Raegan negotiate, thedy figured Raegan might be gullible and said, “Okay, eighteen thousand, no less.


    ”


    “What about fifteen thousand?” Raegan countered.


    Thedy, believing Raegan was genuinely engaging in the negotiation, rxed her suspicion and agreed, “Okay, that works.


    ”


    Thedy then passed her own phone to Raegan to make a call.


    Raegan dialed and said, “Amber, can you bring me some cash?”


    Once the address was delivered by Raegan, thedy felt her schemes had made it, grinning Raegan said to thedy, “Don’t worry.


    Amber is close by.


    She’ll arrive in no more than twenty minutes.


    ”


    Thedy couldn’t hide her happiness.


    Meanwhile, the man kept leering at Raegan, his drooling gaze unnerving.


    When the timing seemed right, Raegan pretended to remember something and eximed, “Oh! I just remembered.


    I have three thousand in cash in the car.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Let me grab that for you.


    ”


    Thedy, thrilled at the mention of money, encouraged, “Okay, dear, go grab it.


    ”


    Thedy then returned the car keys to Raegan.


    With calmness, Raegan unlocked the car door and got inside.


    Thedy watched eagerly as Raegan appeared to search the glove box, only to see Raegan quickly shut the door and lock it from the inside.


    Thedy’s face contorted with anger and tried to pull the door open, but it wouldn’t move.


    Muffled by the car’s windows, she cursed at the maximum of her Lungs.


    The car had great soundproofing.


    Raegan could only catch the angry words through lip-reading.


    In a burst of anger, the man picked up a rock and threw it at Raegan’s car!


    Before the man could throw the rock, a muscr guy stepped in, grabbing the man’s waist


    and throwing him onto the pavement with a loud crash.


    Raegan’s eyes widened as she saw Stefan standing before her.


    How he appeared on this deserted road was beyond her understanding.


    Seeing her son being roughly handled, thedy attacked Stefan without a second thought.


    Stefan was good at dealing with men, but he struggled with women.


    He awkwardly avoided thedy, moving like a shy schoolboy trying to dodge her grabs.


    As the chaos escted, Raegan quickly rolled down her car window and called out, “Stefan, leave her alone!”


    Seeing Raegan’s intervention, thedy, filled with fury at being outsmarted, charged at Raegan with fierce anger.
