"Madam?" Joe froze.


    Melody had always cared about her reputation and had never been humiliated like this before. Forcing her to ride away on a tractor was probably more unbearable than death.


    Yet she agreed.


    "What choice do we have?" she sighed. "We can''t just walk back?"


    The summer heat alone was unbearable, and she was wearing high heels. Walking two kilometers would be the end of her. No matter how much she hated it, she had no other options.


    Joe nodded reluctantly. "Yes, Madam."


    Just then, Erica winked at Randy, who sat back in the seat.


    "What now?" Melody asked impatiently.


    "Not much," Erica replied, her tone casual. "You see, we''re not friends or family. If you''re taking our vehicle, shouldn''t you pay for it?"


    "What? You''re charging me for this hunk of junk?" Melody snorted.


    "Well, this junk protects you from wind and sun. That makes it valuable," Erica reasoned.


    Melody finally lost it, raising her hand to strike her.


    Erica quickly dodged and said, "How about a discount? Give me ten thousand dors, and the tractor is yours."


    "Ten thousand?" Melody huffed. "You want me to pay ten thousand for a tractor? You''re out of your mind."


    "Think it over," Erica said. "I could''ve asked for one million. This tractor costs 600 thousand brand new If


    you damage it while using it''s


    on you. Ten thousand is more than fair."


    She turned to Randy and asked, "I am generous, aren''t I?"


    "Absolutely," Randy replied


    100


    "If it were me, I''d charge


    to meet someone ask


    as


    her."


    Melody staggered in anger. Joe quickly steadied her. "Madam, maybe we should forget about it."


    "Fine!"


    her


    growled, yanking out


    t and throwing it to Eri


    all of it. This should be


    enough to buy a new


    MS


    Erica opened the wallet and found a credit card inside.


    "Randy, get the card reader."


    "On it."


    Randy pulled a POS machine from behind him like a magician. Melody turned livid upon seeing it.


    "Your PIN, please," Erica said, holding the machine out to her. "I was not joking about the payment."


    Furious but helpless, Melody entered the PIN.


    Erica''s eyes widened slightly when she saw the card had over a million dors. Without hesitation, she charged the entire amount.
