"My name is Kara White. David White, the missing man, is my younger brother," Kara said bitterly. "Those rich bastards only care about the heir. They don't care who else lives or dies. I just want to save my brother."
Geralt watched Kara until she began to squirm, then said slowly:
"If I remember correctly, David White is an only child. Are you two step-siblings?"
"I'll give you one more chance to come up with a better story."
What a psycho, Kara cursed inwardly.
Most people only paid attention to Daniel. Who cared about David?!
Was Geralt bluffing?
Maybe, maybe not. Kara couldn't tell from his expression.
One thing was certain: if he caught her lying again, there would be no deal.
Once trust was broken, a hundred promises wouldn't mend it.

Seeing that he wouldn't budge, Kara said, "Whatever happens, I'll pay you another 100,000 beli out of my own pocket."
Geralt's eyes lit up.
