Chapter 1069 Self-centered
In an instant, Anderson's eyes narrowed, and his deep eyes lit up with a fierce light.
Meanwhile, Jara and Emmeline did not understand what they were talking about, so both of them looked confused.
Nevertheless, Clarissa's heart sank upon seeing his reaction because she could read Anderson's expression.
Obviously, he knew what Coby was talking about.
This also meant that what Coby told her was true. There were indeed some secrets between Anderson and him that no one knew about.
At this point, Anderson was well aware that there was no way he could continue to pretend.
Therefore, he replied coldly, "You want the Jade of Heaven?"
Immediately, Coby responded. "Yes! Give me all the pieces you have or I'll kill her immediately!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed hold of Clarissa's neck.
In his hand, Clarissa's slender and tender neck was like a twig, which could be easily broken.
Anderson's pupils contracted in an instant as he subconsciously shouted. "Don't touch her."
Somehow, Clarissa suddenly couldn't bear to see him in that situation.
Shaking her head, Clarissa yelled. "Anderson, don't worry about me. Just leave. He won't really do anything to me."
Before she could finish her sentence, Coby's fingers tightened around her neck. Suddenly, she could not breathe and her face turned pale in an instant.
When Anderson saw that, his heart tightened as well. He couldn't wait to rush over and rescue Clarissa.
However, he was very familiar with Coby's skills. He knew that if he did this, not only would he not be able to save Clarissa, but he would also put her in danger.
So he didn't dare to move.
Seeing that he had successfully threatened them, Coby smiled satisfactorily.
In a deep voice, he uttered. "Anderson, I'll only give you one more chance. Give me all four pieces of the Jade of Heaven. Otherwise, I'll strangle her right away. You can try to see if your bullet is quicker than my hand."
Upon hearing that, Anderson remained silent, but Jara and Emmeline, who were standing beside him, were completely shocked.
Four pieces of the Jade of Heaven?
Together with the one they collected from Triskstin, they only had a total of one pieces, wasn't it?
Where did the other three pieces come from?
However, Coby just stared at Anderson.
Upon seeing this, Jara and Emmeline turned to look at Anderson at the same time.
In a low voice, Jara asked, "Anderson, what's going on? Is there something you're hiding from us?"
Anderson remained silent, and his eyes were fixed on Clarissa.
He seemed to have seen something in Clarissa's eyes, and his heart sank.
After a long while, he said, "The Jade of Heaven is not with me now. Let go of her. As long as you are willing to do that, I promise you that I will definitely give you the Jade of Heaven. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Coby burst out laughing.
"Anderson, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Am I that easy to fool? If I let her go, will you still give me the Jade of Heaven? We've been after each other for the past decade. I've finally managed to get hold of several pieces of the Jade of Heaven, but you had to snatch them away from me. So, do you think I will believe that you will give it to me now?"
As soon as he finished his words, both Jara and Emmeline were shocked!
Suddenly, Jara seemed to have understood something. as he asked in disbelief, "Anderson, what's going on here? What did he mean? A decade?' Didn't you and Coby just meet? We didn't even know his existence before. How did you know him for more than ten years? And how did you know about the Jade of Heaven?"
Anderson already knew that the moment Clarissa fell into Coby's hands, it would be impossible to keep this a secret anymore.
Because 10 years ago, Clarissa had already met Coby.
According to Coby's character, since he had kidnapped Clarissa, there was no reason not to tell her the truth.
It would also be a good way to mess with their relationship.
Now it seemed that everything happened just as he expected.
At that moment, he regretted that he didn't explain to Clarissa earlier. He wanted to tell her the truth after everything was settled, but now it seemed very unlikely.
After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Clarissa, you already knew, right?"
But Clarissa did not say anything as her delicate neck was still in Coby's hands.
She could only stare at Anderson, and the emotions in her eyes were very complicated. Her eyes seemed to be filled with disappointment, anger, sadness, and reluctance.
But they were mostly filled with doubts.
Anderson knew what she was confused about, but he couldn't explain it. In the end, he could only say in a low voice, "Don't think too much. There's a reason for everything. I'll explain it to you later."
Still, Clarissa didn't say anything, but Coby was getting impatient. Slightly tightening his grip, he snapped. "Anderson! Are you willing to hand over the jades? If you don't take it out, I'll kill her right now! And I will kill the old woman inside, too!"
When Clarissa heard that, she immediately interrupted in a cold tone. "Coby, this is our business. It has nothing to do with my mother. Let her go."
However, Coby scoffed and whispered to her. "What are you afraid of? I was just scaring him. I already told you that you're my lifesaver, so I won't hurt you as long as he's willing to hand me the jades. But if he's not willing to do that, I can't guarantee anything to you. If Cara can't live, I can't live either. Since we're both going to die, I couldn't care less about who's going to die, let alone paying a debt of gratitude!"
Gritting her teeth, Clarissa said sternly, "If you let her go, I'll definitely help you get the item, okay?"
Upon hearing that, Coby sneered, "Forget it. If I have to rely on you, I better rely on myself. By the way, as a woman, don't be too confident in yourself, especially in men's hearts!"
"Sometimes, when you think you are perfect, you might be only 35%, at most 60% in his heart."
"This is how most men are in this world. They are heartless when it comes to dumping women. The more you think of yourself, the more miserable you will be when you fall down, and the more serious your injuries will be. I'm telling you this because you saved my life. Think about it carefully."
At that moment, Clarissa regretted having agreed to his request.
She knew that Coby was a madman and he would do anything!
Whether it was his distorted principles or his words and deeds, they had already exceeded the scope of a normal person.
However, not only did she not become enemies with him, but she also colluded with him. She was absolutely stupid!
Suddenly, her eyes turned red. Looking up at Anderson with tears in her eyes, Clarissa uttered. "Anderson, just leave. Don't worry about me, and don't give the jades to him!"
