Chapter 527
"I thought that once this woman went abroad, under my people's care, she would give birth, and then we could stage a difficult labor, causing her to bleed to death. We could bring the child back, and since Star can't get pregnant, raising this child wouldn't be a problem.
"But Lillian was so rebellious that she actually ran away! She was too uncontrollable, and the Price family's malice had already been exposed. I was worried she might regret it and secretly return to Miracalia or get in touch with you, so I directly sent Don to kill her."
Even though that night of being hunted was long past, listening to Susan now still sent chills through Lillian’s entire body.
Jackson stared at Susan, his expression cold, but his eyes were bloodshot.
"Susan! How could you do such a thing?"
Dominic, with a face full of pain, supported Susan's frail, trembling body, shaking his head in sorrow.
Star also walked over and hugged Susan. The three of them cried together, as if they were the victims.
After a moment, Star suddenly turned around, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily twice to Lillian.
She cried, "Lillian, I'm begging you, can you forgive my mom? She only made this mistake because she was trying to help me."
"My brother is gone, I've been wandering outside for so many years, suffering so much. My mom just wanted me to be happy.Luckily, my mom's mistake didn't cause any damage. You're fine and back with Jackson. Plus, this whole thing started because you ran away. Can we just let it go?"
"As long as you're willing to spare my mom, the Price family will do anything to make amends! Lillian, I'm begging you!"
Star's tears fell in streams, and her forehead was swollen and bleeding.
Against her pale, bloodless face, she looked truly pitiful and fragile, innocent and filial.
But Lillian found it extremely laughable. She stepped back, avoiding Star's touch.
Remembering how close she and her child came to death, she couldn't muster even a shred of sympathy or compassion
"Attempted murder is a criminal case, Miss Price. I know you haven't been to school in years, but criminal cases don't involve forgiveness or reconciliation. You must bear criminal responsibility. This should be common knowledge, even for children, right?"
Star's entire body shook with intense humiliation.
She crawled forward two more steps, clinging desperately to Jackson's legs.
"Jackson, I'm begging you. You know my mom is in the late stages of cancer. She doesn't have much time left. She's been sad for so many years, crying until she went blind for me. Now that we've finally reunited, if she can't leave peacefully because of me, how can I face myself? As long as you don't call the police to arrest my mom, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Star clutched Jackson's pant leg tightly. Jackson looked down at her.
As Jackson saw her pitiful and desperate appearance, his eyes darkened. Hislips moved slightly as he said, "Are you really completely unaware?"
Star felt a chill all over her body. Jackson's cold eyes seemed to pierce through her heart.
Star bit her lip to control her trembling.
She cried and shook her head, choking, "I said, I didn't know about this, but it started because of me. I'm still young. I'm willing to go to jail for my mom."
At this moment, the faint sound of police sirens could be heard outside.
Star collapsed, falling to the ground, but still refused to give up, clutching tightly to Jackson's suit pants. "Jackson, for the sake of the chance I fought for you to escape back then, for the sake of this broken finger, can't you spare my mom this once?"
She raised her mutilated right hand, the ugly broken finger pointing up, pleadingly looking at Jackson.
Susan lay weakly in Dominic's arms, gasping. Dominic, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Jackson, the doctor said she only has at most two or three months left. Even if she goes to jail, what's the point?
"I'm willing to transfer 10% of the Price Group's shares to Ms. Young as compensation. Let Susan stay upstairs without stepping out until her life ends. Isn't that the same as jail? Is that acceptable?"
