"You're really ready to pay any amount, right?" Tony asked.
"Yes," Iris replied without a second thought. "Any amount."
Tony nodded slowly. "Good. Then here's my price. If we're going to pull this off, we have to do it right under Matteo's nose, which means there is absolutely no room for error. You want Mark? I can hand him to you on a silver platter, but it's going to cost you ten million dollars upfront."
Iris's eyes widened.
"Ten million dollars?" she repeated in disbelief. "Are you insane?"
Tony shrugged. "That's just the upfront payment, not the full amount."
For a moment, Iris stared at him.
Then a dark thrill flickered in her eyes.
"Ten million is nothing if it means ruining their lives," she said coldly. "You'll have the money. Now tell me the plan."
