"Answer me!"
Alexander finally spoke, "Ernest, do you really think, with what you're doing now, even if I agree to o m redistribute the inheritance, even if I give it all to you, you'll have the chance to get it?" Ernest's face twisted. He looked at Quinn, his fingers trembling on the gun. He knew what he was doing.
Alexander continued, "If I were you, I'd let her go, go back, extort a big sum from whoever put you up to this, and disappear." Ernest was stunned, hesitation flickering in his eyes.
