GoodReadImmediately, Jane got scared, but it was just a flash of terror. Soon, she collected herself. "Scarlett, do you think I'm going to be threatened? If you don't want Linley to die, you better shut up and give$500 million. Then | promise I'll delete all the videos, once and for all." "What if | don't give you the money?" "If you don't givethe money, I'll have to let Linley go over the past again." Then Jane lifted her hand and tucked her hair. "No matter what, Linley was my college classmate for four years.
To be honest, I'm glad to see that she's better off now. But her fate is in your hands, Scarlett." "Of course, if you have no sympathy for her and won't help her, | have to do whatever | can. After all, it won't beor you who would commit suicide from depression.” Scarlett looked at Jane. Suddenly, she laughed, "Do you think you held all the cards? But it’s a pity. | think | should show you something first. You might not be so confident." Scarlett then turned and walked to her desk and grabbed a file bag. She tossed it to Jane. "Maybe you should read it before you negotiate with me." Jane frowned for a moment. She didn't move. She knew well that she was here to blackmail Scarlett today and she shouldn't be led by Scarlett. "I don't need to see that. Whatever it is, it won't change my mind." "Really?" Scarlett curled her lips slightly. She opened the bag herself. Then she tossed the file to Jane. "I think you should know this man, Darnell Melton. You guys were pretty close to each other in college. Now you two are in the sboat. Don't you want to take a look?" Jane's eyes flickered at the familiar name. She didn't hold back her curiosity and glanced down at the papers.

She picked up the file. After reading through it, her face went pale.
Scarlett took a sip of her coffee, which was already a little cold. "Have you read through it? What do you think?” Jane gritted her teeth. "He didn't have the bargaining chip, but I do." Darnell's family had a powerful background. But Scarlett had set him up with so many traps that the family had fallen through the cracks.
Jane never thought Scarlett was behind all of that.
Not only was Scarlett up against Jane, but she had also taken revenge on Darnell, the real culprit.
"It was a slip of the tongue when | brought up the accident. Darnell is the one who really hurt Linley. But now you are givingthe srevenge as Darnell's. Do you think it's fair, Scarlett? " "It's not fair?" Scarlett glanced at her, "Have you forgotten what you toldthe day of the class reunion?" If Jane hadn't upset Linley again, Linley’s condition might not have deteriorated so fast, let alone stay in the hospital for three months.

Jane obviously remembered it. However, regretting did no help. "So you are going to watch Linley be screwed?" Jane didn't believe Scarlett. If Scarlett could be so indifferent to Linley, she wouldn't have spent so much money to help Linley.
Scarlett had been punishing Jane due to the fact that Jane made a mistake when she was young and she had something to do with the incident. Jane felt indignant! All Jane wanted was the money. As soon as she got the money, she would leave the country, and she would never cback! Half a billion dollars was enough for her to live abroad for the rest of her life. She didn't need to stay in the city in fear every day.
Scarlett smiled, looking at Jane, and she said, word for word, "Jane, did you ever think that if | tell Darnell that | would let him off the hook if he does what he did to Linley to you, in his situation, would he do it?"
