Chapter 907 Assist Each Other
Clarissa thought Jara would be shocked by her statements.
However, she did not see any expression of surprise on his face at all.
Therefore, Clarissa was somewhat startled.
Jara said lightly, "I've already heard of this information."
Under the two people's surprised eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Skylar told me before he died. He wanted to use this to ask me for negotiation, but I refused."
Clarissa and Anderson both fell silent for a moment. They were speechless.
Jara's expression was a little dull as he massaged the gap between his eyebrows.
"If you guys are worried, you can quit now. I won't blame you."
He was aware of Clarissa and Anderson's predicament. After all, the kidnapped one had nothing to do with them. They didn't have to put their lives on the line with him.
On the other hand, Clarissa and Anderson exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
"Don't tell me you still think there's room for us to turn back now, Jara."
Hearing this, Jara looked up at her.
Clarissa then responded with a sigh, "Now, even if we go back, we can't entirely get rid of the consequences of this matter. You know, there's a mysterious force watching us now, in addition to the Icarus Association. We can't give in now! Only by staying united will we be able to thwart their attack. Do you agree?"
Jara smiled faintly as he raised the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, got it," he said.
After a short discussion, they returned to their rooms.
Later, Jara sat silently in the room for a long time before making a phone call.
The phone rang, and it was soon connected. An enchanting female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Jara."
"What about the news I want? Have you gotten it?"
The other party paused for a second, then suddenly let out a soft chuckle.
"I have some information, but you've only called to obtain it from me. Well, I'd like to tell you about it, but somehow, I don't. What a concern."
Immediately, Jara's eyes turned indifferent. "What do you want? Money? Tell me a figure, and I'll get someone to transfer it to you right away."
Unexpectedly, the person on the other end of the phone clicked her tongue, sighing, "Jara, do you really think I'm still short on money now that things have come to this stage?"
Jara remained silent and said nothing.
She went on to say, "You didn't like me at first and tried to sweep me out numerous times. I must admit that I was indeed short of money at that time, but I am now Mrs. Marsh. Do you think I'll be short on money? Ha! What a joke."
Jara's lips curved up coldly, and his smile was tinged with scorn.
"Mrs. Marsh? Are you sure?"
She was stunned.
Following that, Jara continued to say sarcastically, "This isn't an official identity, right? How can you take those words seriously? Kayla, it's been so long; why are you still so dumb?"
"What do you mean? We've even got our marriage certificate. How is this unofficial?" Kayla's tone turned cold.
Jara scowled, "Don't tell me you're unaware that an aristocratic family like the Marshes does not recognize someone unless it is publicly announced. Do you really think you'll be able to get half of the family's property from Luca if he decides to sweep you out one day?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kayla's expression shifted abruptly.
"What do you mean? Isn't getting a certificate even useful? So what should I do now?"
"Of course, it's to hold a wedding ceremony and announce it to the world. Reputation is very important to the Marsh family. Everyone will know you are Luca's legal wife once you have a wedding ceremony. By then, he will naturally not treat you shabbily."
"Although you have the marriage certification, even the law can't constrain the Marsh Family since they're so influential. They have a million ways to make you disappear from the world if he decides to abandon you one day. Anyway, no one knows you're Mrs. Marsh except for the people in the house, right?"
Kayla's demeanor changed all of a sudden.
However, she soon regained her composure.
"That's impossible. Luca is very good to me now. He won't abandon me."
Jara sneered.
"Really? Do you know how his ex-wife died?"
"How did she die?" Kayla's voice tensed up.
"He shot her to death."
As soon as he finished his words, he heard Kayla taking a deep breath.
Jara continued to speak coldly, "If you don't want to go down the same path as her, be clever and help me find out what I want. Naturally, I can help you get what you want. Otherwise... I can get you back at any time. At that time, you'll really be like drawing water with a bamboo basket. You'll have nothing left."
His intimidating tone made Kayla's voice tremble a little.
"Jara, are you still a human? How can you do this to me! Don't you know that I..." She gritted her teeth.
But at this point, she did not say anything more.
Even though he heard this, there wasn't even the slightest bit of emotion on Jara's face.
After a while, he heard Kayla taking a deep breath again as if to suppress her emotions.
Then, in hushed tones, she answered, "I got some information. The last time I eavesdropped on his conversation with his subordinates, it appeared that he had sent someone to the place you mentioned. However, I'm not sure about the specifics. You'll have to do your own research."
Jara's eyes turned cold.
In his heart, these few words had already triggered an enormous flood of feelings.
In a low voice, he questioned, "What about those people's information? What are their names?"
After a brief pause, Kayla whispered a few names.
After that, she even murmured to Jara, "Jara, I'm risking my life to help you. You must help me get what I want. Otherwise..."
Jara sneered, "Otherwise?"
Kayla did not speak.
However, he couldn't be bothered to talk to her any further. "Don't worry, you'll get what you want," he continued.
Following that, he hung up the phone directly.
After hanging up the phone, he made another call to Quan.
"Come to the study room now."
Soon, Quan came over, walked to him, and said respectfully, "Mr. Holland, what can I do for you?"
Jara scribbled a few names on a piece of paper and handed it to him. "Check on these people and find out where they are. Inform me as soon as possible."
Quan was stunned. He took the piece of paper in his hands and examined it. There were a few strange names on the list that he hadn't seen previously.
