Jamie was crying so pitifully, and what she said was true.
Ceres was confused. Could Jamie really mean it?
"Ceres, I've finally had a reunion with my father. Now I am the heir of the Bullock Group. You know me. I am addicted to money. I can't live without money!"
Ceres sneered. Jamie knew herself well.
"I can't bear to mess things up. So, can you leave?"
Jamie looked at Ceres pleadingly. "I'll give you a bottle of fake antidote. When the time comes, please don't expose me."
Looking at Jamie's pitiful face, Ceres wanted to believe her.
What Jamie said was true so far.
Maybe Jamie was really worried about her future.
Seeing Ceres hesitate, Jamie continued, "I will give you as much money as you want. Hit me if you like!"
As Jamie spoke, she knelt down.
Jamie tried to take Ceres' hand, but Ceres refused.
"I'm really sorry, Ceres. I know I deserve it!" Jamie began to slap herself.
Ceres had never seen Jamie like this.
Jamie really couldn't bear to lose her wealth.
Jamie had always been arrogant. She would only make a concession in matters of money.
"Enough!"
Jamie stopped. Her face was red and swollen.
"Ceres, you agree?"
Jamie stood up.
Ceres bit her lips. She wanted an answer.
"I have something to ask you. If you answer me honestly, I will leave as you wish."
"Alright!" Jamie raised her hand and made an oath, "If I lie, I will die miserably!"
"No, if you lie, Caleb will kick you out!"
Ceres said seriously as she stared at Jamie's eyes.
But Jamie looked straight at her. "Alright, I swear, if I lie, my father will kick me out. I will lose everything and everyone will look down upon me!"
Now Ceres believed that Jamie was serious.
"Okay, tell me, who killed my father?"
Jamie looked at Ceres in astonishment, "Ceres..."
Ceres tried to avoid Jamie's eyes as she realized that Jamie looked at her in the same way Sally had done.
"An accident happened to me, and I can't remember things clearly. Just tell me the truth. Don't forget the oath you made."
Ceres took out her mobile phone from her pocket. "I have recorded our conversation just now. If you lie to me, I will tell Caleb about it."
"Please don't!" Jamie was frightened.
