How to Be a Heartbreaker ➸ Marina
“That’s absurd!” The girl shook her head, slouching in her seat. “If Suzy is going to be needing money she might as well play it smart with someone who spends money on a daily basis.”
Taking a sip from her cup, the redhead nods in agreement. “I’m going to have to agree with Gabriela on this one. Getting money from a wealthy man sounds a lot better than owing someone money for the rest of your pathetic life.”
Suzy Quinton remained silent. There were far too many doubts about everything. However, she was given two months to obtain the cash before the hired men would set out to murder her father in cold flesh. She needed to make a decision now.

Jenna raised her brows, admiring her friend's response. “It’d be like a game, right?”
“A game in which we’d be in control,” Suzy chimed in. “Where should we begin?”
