If they could really bag a hundred grand, they could kick back and enjoy life from here on out.
Ayden looked at their greedy faces, gave a faint smile, and said, "Fine."
A hundred grand, and he agreed just like that! Could Cornelia's husband be a mega millionaire?
Suddenly, Robison and Cristina felt like a hundred grand wasn't enough. They should ask for more, at least try to squeeze half a million out of that family.
Just as Robison was about to up the ante, Cristina quickly pulled him aside, "Honey, we need to think this through. We can't just ask him for money like that. After all, Cornelia ain't worth that much. If we ask for too much, he might back out, and then we're out the hundred grand."
Robison's heart was set on more cash, but he was afraid the hundred grand deal might go belly up. "Let's probe his bottom line."
Cristina shook her head, "I think we shouldn't risk it. If we end up with nothing, we will be left high and dry."
"Aren't we gonna give it a shot? What if he's richer than we think? Wouldn't we miss the chance to strike it rich?" Robison looked at Cristina. She also wanted more money but was afraid of losing the hundred grand, so she just shook her head.
Robison hesitated for a moment, then said to Ayden, "You give us the cash, then we'll give you the video."
Ayden said, "I can give you the money, but I need to make sure you really have the video."
Robison was a sharp cookie, he wasn't about to make a bad deal. "You give us the money first, then you get the video."
Ayden added, "Just let me see a glimpse of it from afar."
Robison was adamant, "No way!"
Ayden asked, "You don't want the hundred grand anymore?"
