The looks of those campers who had just been chatting and laughing with me changed.
Look at me like a thief.
Scarlett gave Ryan a look that was full of provocation and complacency.
Ryan got the signal.
His face was livid and his voice was tense.
"Rose, where's the money?"
"One hundred thousand dollars, where did you spend it?"
My chest felt like it was blocked by something, and it was stuffy and painful.
I looked at Ryan, the man who had claimed a few days ago that he trusted me the most.
I opened my mouth, wanting to write down the bill for him word by word.
But as soon as I said the word "bill"...
Scarlett screamed, "Stop making excuses!"
"What kind of bill could cost nearly a hundred thousand dollars? Do you think we are all fools?!"
She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, sharp and crazy.
I looked at her face which was distorted by excitement and suddenly found it a little funny.
What is this about? Forcing the emperor to abdicate?
She took a step forward and almost poked my nose with her finger.
"Rose, I'll give you one last chance."
"Hand over the money, or we'll call the police right now!"
"Let the police check who got the money!"
