Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Sentence Her to Death

Mr. Jacobs demanded it so self-righteously, it was as if Julian Sterling actually owed him money!

"The money I’ve given you was all provided according to our agreement. I’ve never been late with a single payment. We signed a contract. Are you saying you can just break it whenever you feel like it?"

Seeing Julian Sterling’s serious expression, Mr. Jacobs put on a smile.

He looked as if he were ready for a friendly negotiation.

"Young Sterling, now that Jane is gone... she was my only, treasured daughter. And because of you, she lost her life! You have to take responsibility." Mr. Jacobs pointed at the company building behind him. "Look, with an empire this big, you can’t be short the money for a house for me, can you? I’m not asking for much. It doesn’t need to be too large. Two hundred square meters will be enough."

Two hundred square meters.

Julian Sterling almost had to laugh.

In that moment, he suddenly felt that his past actions had been utterly ridiculous!

’To think that because he’s Jane Jacobs’s father, I should take care of him to some extent. And for that, I even gave him so much money!’

But they were just insatiably greedy.

He could never, ever fill the bottomless pit of their desires.

"Forget two hundred square meters. I wouldn’t give you a twenty-square-meter apartment."

When Mr. Jacobs heard this, his face immediately hardened. "Julian Sterling! What do you mean by that? Now that Jane is dead, you’re just going to wash your hands of me? Do you want me to die?"

"Jane Jacobs and I were, at most, exes. We were never husband and wife, not even for a day. She even lied to me about being pregnant. The fact that I haven’t held her accountable for that is more than generous. And you still have the gall to come ask me for money?"

"What are you talking about? My... my Jane was pregnant with your child! Now that she’s dead, you want to sling mud at her?!" Mr. Jacobs was so angry he looked like he was about to hit him.

Julian Sterling stopped him and pushed him back.

"If you’re saying it was my child, you’ll have to show some proof."

"You—"

"Also, I won’t be giving you any more money in the future! Not only that, but I’ll have my legal department sue you for blackmail and extortion." Julian Sterling sneered, "You’d better watch yourself."

With that, he turned to leave.

Mr. Jacobs hurried after him and started yelling, "You heartless bastard! Would my daughter be dead if it weren’t for you? You killed my only daughter, and now you want nothing to do with me! Do you even deserve to be called human?"

Julian Sterling raised an eyebrow. "I killed your daughter? Then you can sue me."

"You... you! Then I’ll file to have my daughter’s case reopened! I’ll get that woman... what’s her name, Grant... I’ll get her thrown in prison and sentenced to death! I will absolutely, absolutely not let her go! Even if you get on your knees and beg me then, I won’t go soft!"

Mr. Jacobs was a clever man in his own way.

He had noticed last time that this Evelyn Grant was an important person to Julian Sterling.

In truth, however, he didn’t actually know the specifics of their relationship.

It had come to this, and now all Mr. Jacobs wanted was money.

Nothing else mattered to him! Julian Sterling might care about his reputation, but he didn’t. ’Besides, once I leave this place, who’s going to know who I am?’

"If you want to file to have the case reopened, then go ahead. You don’t need to tell me about it."

A flicker of shock appeared in Mr. Jacobs’s eyes. "You... you don’t care anymore?"

"Whether Evelyn Grant killed Jane Jacobs or not is for the court to decide! If you have new evidence, then by all means, submit it to the court and let them get justice for your daughter."

"I’ll really do it! I’m not bluffing, I have evidence!"

"Then go."
