Chapter 3 Judging by Tiffany's expression , I could guess she'd filled Maxwell's head with all sorts of lies about me . [ ] Using someone else as a weapon - she had truly mastered that skill . ] Based on Maxwell's attitude toward me so far , I knew any explanation would be pointless , so I didn't bother wasting my breath . [ ] " Just tell me how much you want , and I'll pay for the damages . " ] Maxwell seemed surprised by my straightforward admission , his eyes showing a hint of bewilderment . [] " Pay ? Can you afford it ? " " This Ferrari was my eighteenth birthday gift from my father - there are only three in the world , and this is the only one in America . " [ ] " Just a chip in the paint would cost more than your life is worth . What could you possibly pay with ? " [ ] I raised an eyebrow , a faint smile playing on my lips . [ ] " Mr. Grayson , just name your price . Whether I can afford it or not is my problem . " [ ] * $ 10,000,000 dollars ! " Before I could respond , Tiffany jumped in again . ] You smashed in the entire front end . It can't be fixed here - it'll need to be sent back to the factory in Italy .

" [ ] Maxwell considered Tiffany's argument and found some logic in it . [ ] " Fine ! $ 10,000,000 it is ! " ] ] I accepted without hesitation , giving them no time to reconsider . [ ] me . [ In that moment , all eyes in the crowd were fixed on me . Some thought I was bluffing , others suspected I was playing some kind of angle , and the rest were simply enjoying the spectacle . But their opinions didn't matter to me . 0 What mattered was that my car had also been damaged . ] ] Though not as severely as the Ferrari , there were still some scratches on the rear . ] ] If it had been an ordinary domestic car , the impact from Tiffany would have probably totaled it . [ ] " Now that we've settled Mr. Grayson's car , shouldn't we discuss mine ? " As I spoke , I suddenly changed my tone , the corner of my mouth curling into a slight smirk . [ ] " Mine is a domestic car , so we won't need to bother sending it abroad for repairs .
