Mercy offered to play a game of riddles with him before the interviewer could choose, with the condition that if she won, he would have to give up the bag.
Mercy was sadly unable to figure out the puzzle, and the interviewer went on to grab the $32,000 purse. But Mercy was not about to give up the bag without a battle.
She unexpectedly grabbed the purse out of the interviewer’s hand right away, leading to a heated altercation between the two.
