Under Joe's "sinister" gaze, Jared dubiously dialed Alan's phone. "There is something I want to tell you. I think 500 dollars is too little..." Alan was surprised at first, then annoyed, but under the threat of Jared, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to compromise. "Okay, I'll give you five thousand dollars, but you have to keep it a secret forever, or I will never let you go." Soon, Jared received the money. "Joe, I will transfer half the money to you." Joe, who had always been stingy, suddenly became generous. "Forget it, just keep it. I am not short of money." Jared now believed he was a good person even more. "Thank you, Joe. You are awesome. Alan is so unwise that he chooses to scheme against you."
