With a sneer, the woman retorted, “This purse is valued at 2.7 million dollars. You promised to settle it, didn't
you? Let's get this over with so | can get out of this sickening place.”
“What? 2.7 billion for that tacky purse? You're clearly trying to pull one over on us,” Theo's boyfriend scoffed,
