Immediately, 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 me $500 million. Then I promise I'll delete all the videos, once and for all."
"What if I don't give you the money?"
"If you don't give me the 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, I have to do whatever I can. After all, it won't be me or 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. I think I 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 same boat. 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. When her eyes fell on the file, her hand trembled.
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.
