That was the first time you did it, and it cost him 200 million—dollars. I'm curious to see how much longer his fortune can last.” Yana turned livid at once.

n “You want me to shut up?” Yana said coldly, “Will she be interested in you if | do? Timothy, it's time to face reality. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life.” Timothy looked even grimmer.
