Chapter 528
The three members of the Price family were all in tears, looking at Jackson with pleading eyes.
Lillian couldn't believe how shameless the Price family was. As murderers, they were acting like they were the victims.
She felt a chill all over, finding it both laughable and terrifying.
But she wasn't sure if Jackson would be moved and agree to their request.
Jackson remained silent for a long time, and Lillian's heart gradually grew cold.
She gave a self-mocking smile and was about to withdraw her hand from Jackson's palm.
Jackson then forcibly intertwined his fingers with hers.
With a cold expression, he pulled Lillian aside a few steps.
Star's hand, which was clutching his pant leg, was left empty.
Panic flashed across Star's face, and her eyes welled up with deep disappointment.
Jackson looked down at her and said, "A life for a life, even attempted murder must be paid for. Besides, I haven't seen any remorse or apology from Susan."
"She wasn't momentarily confused; she had long premeditated this murder! Should I let her go, only for her to become even more deranged before her death and continue to harm my wife and children?"
With Susan's life already in ruins, what did she have left to lose?
Another murder wouldn't change anything for her.
If he showed mercy to Susan today, Lillian would be harmed by her tomorrow. He couldn't bear the thought of letting the person who hurt Lillian go free.
Listening to Jackson's cold words, Star's raised crippled hand lost its strength and fell heavily.
"Jackson, no! I'll keep an eye on her, I won't let her harm Ms. Young again. If you're worried, you can send someone to guard the Price family!"
Dominic, still unwilling to give up, stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Lillian, saying, "Ms. Young, I know you're a kind and magnanimous person. We were wrong before, and I sincerely apologize. If you're not satisfied with the conditions, we can negotiate—more shares or cash, anything."
Susan only had two or three months left to live, and she probably wouldn't last even half a month in prison.
Dominic was a businessman. In his eyes, rather than sending Susan to jail, Lillian would definitely choose to get a large sum of money.
After all, Lillian was just an orphan with no background. If the offer was tempting enough, how could it not buy her forgiveness?
If Lillian didn't pursue it, Jackson surely wouldn't object.
However, before he could finish, Lillian coldly said, "So in your eyes, Susan's life can be measured in money, but unfortunately, the lives of my baby and me are priceless! I only want those who harm me to pay the price they deserve."
She didn't even want the divorce compensation Jackson offered, so why would she want the Price family's money? She thought it was dirty.
"Ms. Young, please reconsider."
Dominic gritted his teeth, wanting to call Lillian foolish.
But under Jackson's icy stare, he bit back his words.
Jackson stepped forward, blocking Dominic and Star, who still wanted to pester them. "The Price family should be grateful that Lillian and the baby are safe, or it wouldn't be as simple as Susan paying with her life!" he said in a deep voice.
There was a hint of murderous intent in his voice, causing Dominic's face to change and his shoulders to slump.
Star couldn't bear it either, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, the sound of police sirens was clear.
Soon, a group of officers came in, and Don was handcuffed and taken away.
The lead officer approached Susan, who looked in Jackson's direction and said, "My daughter became disabled saving you and has suffered for so many years because of you.
"She should have been the most elegant and noble woman in Miracalia, growing up in our love. Because of you, her life was ruined! You owe her, and you'll never be able to repay it in this lifetime!
"I don't care if I die, but this has nothing to do with my daughter. I love Star so much, I could never let her be involved in this! I only ask you not to take it out on Star."
