Chapter: 4833

Mara asked nervously, "What do you mean by adjusting...?"

Kloe laughed, "It's nothing much. Just change one pack of cigarettes per day to two packs. It shouldn't be a big deal for your family's conditions, right?"

Mara said with a pained expression, "You mentioned earlier that Jessica can buy one pack of cigarettes for $400, but she just told me it costs $1,000..."

Kloe showed no surprise and smiled, saying, "To you, $1,000 isn't much. Two packs is only $2,000. But if you spend this $2,000, I can guarantee that at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, nobody will bother you again."

Mara asked immediately, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course," Kloe laughed, saying, "As long as your family members buy two packs of cigarettes from Jessica every day, everything that happened to you today won't happen again. In the future, my sisters and I won't bully you, but will instead protect you!"

Mara relaxed slightly after hearing this.

Spending $2,000 per day in renminbi is indeed not a small amount, but she believed her son-in-law's earning power.

After all, Leaf often goes out to give Feng Shui readings for others and can easily earn hundreds of thousands of renminbi. When converted to US dollars, it's enough for her to live comfortably in prison for a long time.

"Thinking about this, she hurriedly said to Kloe: 'Okay! As long as you can fulfill your promise, I'll give my son-in-law a call!'"

"'Okay!' Kloe nodded very satisfactorily."

"She had been at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for so long and had never met anyone with such economic power as a fellow inmate before."

"Originally, she only needed someone to buy a pack of cigarettes from Jessica, herself getting a pack of cigarettes and fifty dollars in addition."

"But just now, Jessica whispered to her that if she could get Ma Ran's family members to buy cigarettes from her at a thousand-dollar price, she would get three hundred dollars on top of the cigarettes besides."

"Don't look at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility as a women's prison, but here, cigarettes and sanitary products are absolute hard currency."

"As long as you have these two things, you can exchange for everything you want in prison."

"And as for the US dollars she got from Jessica, Kloe had them deposited into her account in prison."

"While she didn't need to spend much money in prison, this amount of money existing in her prison account was actually the most stable way, because when she gets out of prison, the account balance can all be redeemed for cash."

"In the past, Jessica could make around two to three thousand dollars a month, but now Ma Ran has arrived, it's like having a money tree."

"One day, two cigarettes can not only ensure that you can get all the things you need in prison, but also make a profit of 600 US dollars. So, one month would be $12,000.

So, she decided to change her strategy against Ma Ran and exert all her effort to squeeze out more money from him.

Subsequently, Ma Ran used her trembling right hand, which was even shakier than a Parkinson's patient, to force herself to eat a few bites of food, and then hurriedly followed the crowd to the open-air area.

The open-air area is a playground in the middle of the prison, surrounded by high walls and buildings, approximately half the size of a football field.

Around 1,200 inmates from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility are now almost all squeezed into this area.

On the edge of the playground, there's also a small shop for inmates as well as a row of public phone booths. JrNovels.com
