Johanna hadn't expected Ronan to ask for payment. She considered chasing after him, but he was already gone. But she thought, 'Double the price? So be it! It's just a banquet hall, after all. How much could it possibly cost?' At that moment, Cory approached Johanna and said, "Mrs. Dawson, that would be twelve million dollars. How would you like to settle the payment?" "How much?!" Johanna was stunned upon hearing the figure.

Twelve million dollars? How could it possibly be that expensive? "Mrs. Dawson, you see. Mr. Beckett offered our largest banquet hall. Renting our largest hall for a three-day, round-the-clock feast, and since you requested double, well..." Hearing Cory explain, Johanna's face turned sour. Twelve million dollars! That was a lot of money. How could she cup with that kind of cash on the spot? Cory continued, "Mrs. Dawson, this banquet hall is reserved for the crde la crème. I must also congratulate you. And wish Mr. Dawson a happy birthday." Johanna's face twitched with pain. 'Twelve million for a banquet hall, you can't find another place like this in all of Echo City. Was Ronan doing this on purpose?' "Mrs. Dawson?" Seeing Johanna hesitate to make the payment, Cory urged her again.

With many eyes on her, Johanna froze and said, "I'll use my card." Cory smiled. "Okay, I'll bring the machine over." Given the large sum, Johanna had no choice but to use her credit card. All the savings she had accumulated over the years were in the bank and untouchable. The only liquid funds she had amounted to a few million dollars, which she thought would be enough, but she hadn't anticipated the Majestic Manor HotePbeing such a rip-off! Cory returned with the POS machine, and Johanna slowly handed over her bank card.

Johanna felt a sharp pang as she saw the money drawn from her account.
