After a while, a sinister smile emerged on his lips. He raised his eyes and said, "George, I am counting on you. Don't let me down. The money will be soon sent to your account, but, there's one more thing I want you to do."
"Go ahead. As long as I can do it, I will definitely abide by my promise."
Blake glanced at George and took out a disc from his briefcase. He handed it to George and said, "this is the direct evidence of Jessie's intentional homicide. If she still refused to accept my request in 48 hours, you can expose this."
George looked at the disk on the table, puzzled.
"Blake, do you really want to kill her? You said you liked her. Why did you have to be so hard on her. After all, a murderer might be sentenced to death. Even if it's not death penalty, it would be life imprisonment. Have you thought it through?"
Of course, Blake knew what George meant. He was born in a well-known family in the field of law. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a judge. The law articles were easy for him.
The truth was that he arranged Jessie to be charged as intentional homicide. He didn't want to see Jessie suffer. But he knew clearly that if he wanted her to remember his kindness forever, he must help her when she was in danger of life and death and no one else would help her. He thought that today's interrogation would somewhat scared Jessie, and made her helpless, but it turned out that the situation wasn't as he expected.
In his eyes, Jessie was just a meek Cinderella. Nobody loved her since her childhood, and she even didn't say a "no" in the Lin family, let alone refute. Instead, Jessie, in front of him now, was quick minded, logical and calm. She wasn't inferior to him at all.
All in all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. He had to go for it.
The detention room was a small space less than ten square meters. Except for a small table made of brick that was even smaller than a single bed, there was only a half open bathroom. Jessie curled up her legs and leaned against the wall. She quietly looked around with her bright almond eyes.
She had never thought that she would be locked in such a place, let alone to be involved in a homicide case.
Intentional homicide! What a crime! She wouldn't dare to do this.
But who would believe that?
The news that the daughter of the Lin Group was suspected of intentional homicide was already a great one in the city, but from the moment she was put in here, more than ten hours had passed, no one in the Lin family had ever came.
Even Blake came and went away after a quick glance.
She had always believed in relying on herself for everything, and she had never relied on anyone, let alone be dependent on anyone else. Now it turned out that she was right.
Even if she wanted to rely on someone, no one would let her rely on, wasn't it?
Just like now, she didn't care whether she would be convicted or not. She didn't care what kind of life she would live in the future. If she was really convicted of intentional homicide, she still had to worry about her mother and her brother who had been expelled.
She seemed to be born for them. As long as they were good, everything was good!
