"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous." Angus apologized for his rude request.
"I will transfer all my shares in the Chamber of Commerce to you, and I only ask that you protect that mother and child until the child gets married and starts a family."
"The Carites Chamber of Commerce is quite well-known in Verga. I own 60% of its shares. This reward will not disappoint you."
