Karl took step after step toward Jill. "The hair you plucked out when you were at the court is Tanya Turner's, right?"
Jill hurriedly denied it. "No, it isn't!"
Seeing that she was still lying even at this point, disappointment flashed across Karl's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "I have already done another DNA test for Tanya and me."
That one line of his stunned Jill.
She looked at Karl in disbelief, seemingly never having expected him to be such a perceptive man...
Seeing that she had finally shut up, Karl sneered, "What
else do you have to say now?"
Realizing that she couldn't continue to hide it from him anymore, Jill took another two steps back and put some distance between herself and Karl. She looked at him coldly and said furiously, "So what even if you now realize it? This is something you owe me, Karl! Even if Tanya is your daughter, I'm still the one who gave birth to her! I gave you a daughter, so you have to save my daughter's life!"
Karl narrowed his eyes. He suddenly took a step forward and slapped her hard across the cheek!
Smack!
The crisp smack caused Jill's voice to instantly disappear.
She could feel her cheek burning, and even two of her teeth had loosened and fallen off. She could taste a metallic sweetness—she was likely bleeding.
Her ears were also ringing. One could easily see just how hard Karl had slapped her!
When she finally came back to her senses, she saw that Karl was already seated on the sofa. He had one leg crossed over the other and was fiddling with a gun.
Jill's legs instantly turned into jelly when she saw the icy-cold muzzle pointed at her!
In this instant, the man in front of her suddenly became big and tall. It was as if even the air around him had changed. From a simple and naive nouveau riche, he had turned into a cold and unfeeling underworld boss.
Jill swallowed.
Since the moment she ran into Karl when she was taking
Hillary to the airport, the man had always shown her kindness. It made her think that time was still stuck at over twenty years ago when the man was just a little gangster in the streets...
That was why she had kept making various demands to Karl, and even spoke as if she was giving him orders when she requested him to save her daughter.
It wasn't until now that Jill finally realized in shock that he was a man who could make even the Smiths and the Hunts compromise. He was not someone whom she could manipulate as and when she wanted...
She had assumed that he was much stupider than he really was!
She was so frightened that she couldn't help but shiver all over. Her lips trembled as she said, "You... you can't kill me..."
Karl's head was lowered as he glanced at her carelessly. "Why can't I kill you?"
"Because... because..." Jill suddenly thought of something. "Because I am Tanya's mother! I gave birth to her! I brought her all the way up! Even if there's nothing meritorious about what I did, you cannot deny the effort I've put in! I was the one who gave Tanya her life!"
Karl let out an icy laugh when he heard what she said. He looked up and said, "If it wasn't for that, did you think I would have stopped at just a slap?"
Cold sweat drenched Jill.
Karl got up. He stared at her and ordered, "Get lost!"
A frightened Jill got up abruptly and scrambled toward the door. The woman staggered as she moved as if she was afraid that Karl would kill her the next second.
Elsewhere, in prison.
During the prisoner's recreation time, someone came up to Hillary.
Hillary couldn't help but smile as she looked at her. "Did Karl Moore send you to take care of me?"
The woman was a female prisoner. She flexed her wrists when she heard what Hillary said, and the corners of her lips curled up into a strange smile. "Uh-huh. Boss asked me to take good care of you."
Hillary didn't sense anything amiss even when she heard what the other woman said.
Although she had been very scared and in a panic when she first entered the prison, she soon discovered that she was receiving slightly better treatment than other prisoners. There were several times where someone had tried to make things hard for her, but someone else had fended them all off for her.
Later, Jill had visited her and informed her of some of the ongoings. She had also said that Karl would definitely save her and told her not to worry.
As a result, Hillary had completely put her mind at ease.
