I don't like to think of it as 'stolen'. They have no proof that I didn't plan on giving it back."" You're kidding, right?" He shrugged. "You have no proof either." She squinted back at him. "Were you planning on giving it back?"" Maybe." An orange light blinked on in the corner of Cinder's vision-her cyborg programming picking up on the lie. Marissa Meyer
About This Quote

In this quote, Cinder is explaining her relationship with the heist to Mercury. She explains that she doesn't want to think of it as "stolen" because she wasn't planning on giving it back. This shows a lot of restraint on Cinder's part. She could have easily just kept the money and lied about where she got it from.

However, that would have been dishonest and an unethical behavior. Instead, she chose to be honest instead of being dishonest.
