She had begged him before , on behalf of Summers Corp , but he hadn't budged . Now he was willing to help them just for a few of Natalie's keepsakes .
Sharon longed to scream at him , but she didn't dare . Her rage churned in her chest until it hurt , but she forced a brittle smile . " I'll be fine , I'm not dying yet .
