Jacob glanced at Poppy disdainfully as if implying that Poppy asked while knowing the answer.
Poppy was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She thought to herself, 'Don't blame me for not showing mercy!'
"I agree to divorce you, but I want to take half of the JTP assets!" Poppy said while giving Jacob the evil eye.
Jacob sneered at her words and said with disdain, "Stop daydreaming, okay? That's not the conditions I offer. Poppy, have you forgotten what situation you are in?"
"No, I'm just curious if you know what situation you are in," Poppy said coldly.
"I'm fine now." Showing a horrible smile, Jacob opened his arms to show what he had with a smug look as if the whole city behind him belonged to him.
"Then do you remember how you got to this position?" Poppy narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
"Of course, it's ..." Jacob wanted to say he achieved everything on his own, but he paused when he realized who he was talking to was Poppy.
He asked, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Jacob seemed to realize something, Poppy withdrew her hands, folded her arms over her chest, and said, "What do I mean? Yep, I did transfer the company's assets, but I did it for my future. Do not forget we are in the same boat. Others may not know what you did before, but I absolutely know everything!"
Hearing Poppy's threatening tone, Jacob realized he had underestimated her endurance.
"You can take me to court," Poppy said coldly.
"Anyway, I will be sentenced. When I am in court, I will talk about what you have done, like how you gained Webbex Group, bribed officials, and did illegal business. Jacob, before you threaten me. Think about how many nasty things you have done!"
"Do you have proof?" Jacob suppressed his excitement and asked calmly.
"I don't, but as long as I'm willing to be against you as a tainted witness, I believe the court will not ignore it. Not to mention that the evidence will be found out, do you think you can live a rather good life when you are caught up in such a scandal?"
Poppy didn't believe Jacob was unafraid.
"What do you want?" Jacob asked Poppy, with his hands on his chin.
Poppy felt that she had finally gotten the upper hand. With an overjoyed and smug look on her face, she stared coldly at Jacob and said, "I know we can never get back together, so I want a divorce, the destruction of all evidence of my transfer of assets, and an equal share of the JTP assets. I don't want company shares, but an equivalent amount of money."
"If I agree and also destroy the evidence, then how do you guarantee that you won't turn state's evidence against me?" Jacob asked Poppy with the same cold look in his eyes.
