听到这个消息，她挺了挺胸，向丈夫投去愤怒的目光。她想让自己尽量保持冷静，于是果断坐回到直背椅上，紧握起双手来掩藏她的不安。她很清楚，肇事逃逸必然要遭受严惩，但此刻并不急于做决定，谨慎一点总没错。考虑到所有可能性，他们仍然还有时间搜集证据，争取不落入眼尖的警察手里。她直视着眼前这个粗野无比又自命不凡的家伙：按道理讲他完全可以去报案，反来询问他们的立场，那他一定早有预谋，八成是来敲诈。想到这点，她觉得主导权又落回了她身上。脑海突然涌上一个念头，贪婪的人最容易被收买，何不给他一笔巨款。直觉告诉她他一定会屈服，她愿意为此赌一把。于是，紧盯了他三秒钟之后，她站起身来厉声说道：“天下没有免费的午餐，现在听一下我的条件”。

She squared her shoulders at the news and shot him a wrathful glance. Trying to keep a rein on her mind, she sank back into the straight-backed chair decisively and clasped her hands to conceal her trembling. She was well aware that the police are bound to throw a book at one who committed a hit-and-run accident, but there was no call being hasty to make the decision and it always pays to be cautious. Considering all eventualities, they could still get around to gathering evidence and try not to fall victim to the sharp-eyed police. She looked straight/squarely/pointedly at this coarse and smug man before her: He could have gone to the police instead of standing here to ask them what their side was unless he had planned to blackmail them. As she thought of this, she was aware the role of leadership had fallen back to her. A thought occurred to her that since greedy people are easy to buy off, why not give him a large sum of money. she would like to gamble on it and on a hunch she knew that he would give in/surrender. After her eyes bored into him/riveted on his face for three seconds, she sprang to her feet and said it sharply, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
